Which one of these devices that I want to have?

I want a really light weight devise for my study purpose. I have to read lots of books, journals and everything from now on, mostly on pdf files. The most important things is I can modify the notes and put highlight on the words.

I kinda like Kindle, but Galaxy Tab is more multipurpose. Surely due to my jobs, I need a laptop for editing and rendering videos.

Lets look what will I have for the next couple of months.

shooting video

July 23rd, 2011

It is not easy to stay still when shooting video. You must know that the shaking footage is bad. I got an opportunity to handle Panasonic 102B which belongs to Fazli. Indeed, for the first time, I learned very much. I just don’t know yet how the reaction of Fazli when he see my footage. [...]

It is not easy to stay still when shooting video. You must know that the shaking footage is bad.

I got an opportunity to handle Panasonic 102B which belongs to Fazli. Indeed, for the first time, I learned very much. I just don’t know yet how the reaction of Fazli when he see my footage. But I was sure that I broke what he pointed out to do; shoot wide. I shoot closed up too.

I have Panasonic TM700 camcorder which I like very much. This is the best among camcorder among its range (in 2009). This camcorder served me well in Dewan Merak Kayangan. Compact & the optical image stabilizer is really amazing! However, the noise level in dim room is so-so plus the color drop too. I would like to see how the Panasonic 102B performed in the ballroom. From my thought, the 102B will have less noise due to its larger CCD.

Video above was shoot by 60D & OM55mm f/1.4. We can see soft appearance with flares and square liked bokeh. DLSR video nowadays have become popular, so the manual lens too. You can check throughout ebay for the cheap lens and adapter that can used for DSLR.

Serabut-ness in my head

It was different when you was single. Suddenly all matters have to consider wisely which bring serabut-ness in my head. Usually these [...]

I’m not feeling very good with my condition right now. I always tired, sleepy and lazy to finish my work. Even my time with my family are really tight due to my  job. It was different when you was single. Suddenly all matters have to consider wisely which bring serabut-ness in my head.

Usually these feelings are coming from your unsatisfying about everything. When things just changed dramatically and you find it hard to cope easily, you always asked why this happening to me?

I have to respond it within myself. Indeed, everything is coming from your heart; your universe of thinking. Of course your faith have to do with it. Because of that I read lots of thing now; blogs, books and I also log on to IKIM f.m online. Giving so much information will consume you, thus the main point is to take the picture clearly and what type of solution will you choose. All depend to Allah, insyallah.

I had a meeting today at The Royale Bintang Hotel. They wanted to have our photo & video packages at the best price. The best part was they will promote us at Seremban, which I hope that we will enter new market at Negeri Sembilan.

Fazli & I also made a discussion about strategies and so on. A bit about life plus what will we accomplish for the next years onwards. I have a lots of things to do basically about unsettled editing, others like make new flyers, looking for new job and just recently I just thought to further study. Really make my head cramped heavily. Which I should go first?

I downloaded e-books about photography, communication skills, academic books which I think can be used as a basic knowledge. I don’t know what will come through with these things although it is kinda fun and give some space to do something different.

In addition with upcoming Ramadan, I hope that I will focus to bring my ibadah to the fullest. Insyallah.

I’ve been in wedding photography for almost 4 years. Mostly you can see my pictures in my former websites here, here and now here. Since the used of Olympus E-500 and now E-3, I’ve upgraded multiple of lenses, few flashes and dozen of items. Don’t ask me why I’m still using my Olympus, instead of Canikon. Say what! I’m shooting about 70%  of my job with the superb Pana-Leica Summilux 25mm f/1.4.

It’s really fun & enjoyable job even thought very trying when doing it alone. Please visit my company website at www.fotoeve.asia for more portfolios and latest event.

Congratulation to Hidayah & Fazri. This job taken on 5th June 2011 at Batu Pahat, Johor. Photography by Safa Soib.

My wife & I have a lots of fun ‘on the air’. Just Mr. Mohamad said “Flying like a bird”.
This is my first time at Pulau Indah, Klang, the place where South/North Port are. Travelling from KL to the exact location; Pantai Acheh is about 40 minutes.

I’ve been invited by a Sarawakian, Mr. Mohamad who living in Kertih, Terengganu to try a ride at Klang. We first meet him & his family at Pantai Cherating, Kuantan when we saw he enjoying beautiful beach on flight. I just wanted to know how heavy the paramotor, and suddenly just a little chat and we become friend. He said that at Sarawak this sport is common among hobbyist, however not here at semenanjung.

His student, the pilot who taken ride with me on the first video is 68 years old! Still much enjoying his job. How old is Mr. Mohamad? He is the same age as my father!!

This is really expensive hobby but worth to own.

I have to replace my Zuiko 50mm f/2 with this lens due to its range and the lens give me 1 stop bright.

This lens is heavy and expensive, worth to have this lens equipped with 4/3 system.

So now where should I dump my OM Zuiko 55mm f/1.2?

This is my second rolled of films. I’m quite happy about it. The first film was well exposed except for sharpness. OM55mm f/1.2 showed really blurry like ghosting image at f/1.2. Done with experimental for the shallow DOF in the first attempt, for the second one, I stepped down the aperture to f/2. The images improve a bit however most of the pictures were underexposed!

Hanisa & Karim after the solemnization. OM4Ti, OM35mm f/2.8, Kodak Gold, ISO200
Hasrul with Canon USM lens 70-200mm f/2.8 Non I.S
After the solemnization. Lots of equipments.
