Nowadays cameras like DSLR getting cheaper and cheaper.. more people afford to buy one. PC Fair became a training ground for DSLR users to practice portraits photography because it is “FREE”.. well not really free because we need to pay for the parking..haha. I also don’t miss the chance and went to the recent PC Fair for shooting. Here is the shots I took in PC Fair. Enjoy…

Here is the second part of the Floria 2009 photos that I promised in the previous post. I personally like most of the photos in this second part. Enjoy the photos.

Last week I went to Floria 2009 or Putrajaya Flower & Garden Festival 2009 which held from 1st August to 9th August 2009 in Precinct 2 in Putrajaya. All lot of flowers were on display during the event which some of it I don’t even know the name (haha I’m into flower). All the flowers were decorated nicely like a small garden. They even decorate the flowers look like an animal. This event attracted a lot of people especially photographer to take this chance to take Macro photograph of the flowers. Due to the amount of photos that I took was too many, I separate the photos into 2 parts which will be posted in 2 different post on Floria 2009. Here is the first part of the photos.

KLCC or the Petronas Twin Tower is beautiful at night with a lot of lights on. Its become a very popular place for photographer to come to KLCC and take picture of it. I also went to try to take few picture of it. That night I was using my Sony A200 DSLR with 18-70mm kit lens with tripod. Tripod is a must as long exposure will be used to capture the stunning lighting of KLCC. That night I used 5 – 8 seconds exposure with aperture f14 to take picture of KLCC. I highly recommend photographer to use wide angle lens like 12-24mm lens as my kit lens 18mm not wide enough for some shot unless you have a Full Frame DSLR.  Now here is some of the picture I took.

One of the purpose I went to Sepang Super GT Race is to practice my panning skill to take picture of moving object which is the GT cars. In order to take a photo where people can feel the car inside the picture is moving, you need use panning skill where you will need to set your camera to lower shutter speed and turn your body by following the car as it moves to take a very nice panning shot. Why must turn your body? When you put to lower shutter speed, the car in the picture will be blurred as the car is moving in fast speed. In order to take the car is very sharp but the background and the tyre remain blur, you need to turn your body while making sure the camera stay in focus on the car when taking the shot. Below are some of the panning shots I took during the event.

Got one day me and few of my friends was taking shelter in my car from heavy rain. I got nothing to do so I just grab my friend new Canon EOS 500D DSLR with Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 lens and try out his new DSLR. I was looking at my car window and told myself why not shoot the rain drops. Then I just focus on the rain drop on my car window and shoot. The result was nice. Now I’m using this picture as wallpaper for my Macbook. Here is the picture. You can just download it and use it as wallpaper for your PC or Macbook.

Two weeks ago I went to KLCC Park to take some pictures of the Twin Tower and the KLCC Park to practice my photography skills. Here is the photos I took:
