Need somewhere to host my photos. Se7en might as well foot the bill for me on that one. So here goes, my crappy pics. All are unedited, because i'm no photochop person in the first place, but you guys are welcome to help me edit them.

Bon Odori Pictars. Because a Loli is fine too.

Because Jailbait is fine too.

added shots of me penang trip.

And who says the 18-55mm is a piece of stock crap

Anyone know of a simple and easy way to clean a diopter? Mine has tons of dust on it already

Added a few.

Nah, that stuff in my toilet shot, but that didn't make it due to distortion

handheld. That's why alot of pics had to be sharpened to the point i lost alot of detail, not all of them lah, but i try to over or underexpose for an exaggerative effect.

Most due to resize issue due to the fact i use MSpaint.

2nd problem is ISO noise, actually most of the scenes are dark and i shot with my 350D kitlense in 5.6.

Technical Limitation FTL.....


NEVAR MSPAINT IS GOD!

I just can't bring myself to resize with anything besides MSPAINT....i've used it since i was a kid....


Anyways here are new pics with better resize tecknologi

Note that these pics are even more horrible and subjectless than the last batch, and sometimes even blurrier due to the fact the 5D is a f***er that weighs nearly a kilo even without a lense. Most are just arty test shots, may or may not appeal to some. Little or no post processing used except for some brightness and contrast tweaks. Just using these shots to get used to the camera.

Since everyone's a pedophile, here's loli goodness, can't get rid of the noise.....need NN action, but no marneyyyyy.

Shot with the old 350D

Here are the 5D shots.









Too lazy to recrop, i'll do it after feedback.

No. I'm from SMK Taman Connaught. I bribed the guard to let me in.....ok i didn't, my neighbour who studies there asked the guard to let me in.

I have recently joined the ranks of ausfags, and of course i've brought my shit heavy camera here, which every says is somekind of bazooka.

Like usual i didn't edit the photos, i'm just too inept for that, but i did use Paint.net for resizing (Supersampling) and it should have less detail loss compared to my older photos. I still think MSPAINT rocks. Mind the spots on the pics, i sneezed on the lense and wasn't really bothered to clean all the snot off it. Dem i really mistreat my gear lol.














edited to do the lady's hair more justice. Wondering why she had painted whiskers on lol.


Note : Best Bench i ever slept on. Was too cheap to get a hotel after i landed in Brisbane and since all the cheap places in Roma Street were full, so it was natural i used it. In front of police station somemore leh.

Most of the shots aren't that good because i took them inpromptu, the 70-200 is too heavy to use walkaround style and its focal length is too long, plus its backfocusing so AF isn't accurate anymore until i send it for repair in Brisbane.. Waiting for my Zeiss and mount converter.

SLRs are meant to give you shit pictures until you edit them lol that's the awesome part about shooting RAW (exposure compensationnnnn).

Too bad i'm too f***ing lazy unless it involves women or lolis. Example being the sunset photo could use a bit of dodge and burn, luminosity change, and rape. Generally, put less emphasis on everything else aside from sunset and the clouds.

Before


After


Anyways good camera doesn't mean great shots, if your camera man sucks like me, you're bound to get shit pictures, because SLRs are inherently manual cameras and rely on skill rather than Auto's pot luck of normal cameras.

lol PnS i'm not sure but SLR, surely.

As you go higher up the ladder, you'll find that the pictures actually suck more at stock (yeah, you pay more for crap stock photos), pro SLRs generally assume that the camera man will sit down and edit his pics so they dispense with noise reduction, sharpening and processing.

Now i'll have to find a torx to adjust the body due to focus issues

Added on April 6, 2008, 4:48 pmPoasting more. Edited this time. Will add pics of the Malaysian Embassy Party in Toowoomba later on (NOTE : IT IS NOT A REAL EMBASSY)

Pictures of the Engineering Block




Toowoomba CBD


Two sets of Schoolgirl pictures, one heavily cropped and another less due to the fact of the girl in back's really ugly look. Was using the tele extender for the first time, so the shots aren't as good as i usually want.




Japanese Garden


Abit screwey due to me messing with the settings, ugly, but decent.






Uniplaza Crt Fish n Chips

Poasting Sunshine Coast pics, finally cleaned out the sensor of my 5D and i kind of got Sand into my Cam. Had a great deal of fun with members of the MTS (Malaysian Toowoomba Society ; impromptu name), all of us on holiday except for a few guys there doing their doctorates, but they still came anyway (skip research bad Mior....Dr Talal know then you habis)

Yesh, we're a pseudo malaysian society with only 50 percent malaysians, rest from India, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and even the USA, because we figured out that all these countries are pretty close to Malaysia, thus it's ok. But heck these guys are more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Will post pictures of Ostalia Zoo in my next post. Time to work on eng design work and my energy audit for now

None of me inside, because no one else is qualified to operate dee-ess-elle-are technology. Can you believe you actually need a degree to operate these things?

Just did the curves for a darker outline because contrast change would ruin the already inherent color of the sunset. Also added the customary +2 Sharpen that is recommended for Canon Full Frames due to the AA filter.

The sunshine coast and it's autumn sun has a glow like no other and as the sun fades you can see a tingle of orange across the horizon. Breathtaking if you ask me.

New stuff added in the last post.

Sold to Sponsor other lenses since knowing my father he'll never get things done until someone starts cursing.

Plan to get the 14mm Superfisheye as a replacement as i keep gravitating towards primes.

Tripod goes out, but not much due to the problem of carrying it rather than the weight as i need both my hands for most actions. Will get a tripod bag later on, but see how lah.

Reserve post while i upload more pics.

Going to try my hand at Astrophotography tonight.

I use a 3 way 804RC head lah . I always take my time with most shots, so i figured a ball head would be a waste of cash. And not heavy, because i don't use the 70-200 with it's extender for astrography, but it's new kawan, my 50mm 1.2L.

3 way makes Astrophotography hard because the stupid head can only tilt to around 60 degrees. But i just mount it backwards which makes it a tad bit harder, but it does the job.

Tak bleh muat ler.

The extender can only fit the white lenses.

There's an extension tube for normal lenses but i never bought one.

Astrophotography tak jalan, stupid moving clouds messed it up. Blargh.

Anyways i present the smelliest animal i've ever come across. My god, it's poop bau mcm setan.

When going into it's area i was like motherrrrr f***errrrrr

Anyways a totally natural un-PPed pic showing the 1.2L's ass kicking nice-ness. Vignetting = Awesome.

I tried poking its ass with an ice cream stick and got scolded. What to do, 21, but still as dumb as a rock. As my indonesian driver once said "syafek, kau ni pergi sekolah semakin lama, semakin bodoh" lol.

Getting the hang of the EOS5D's capabilities, before this i used to follow on as i were using my 350D, and since i discovered the awesome unholy power of manual focus, i feel my shots tighten up. Above all, i now use decent post processing and a pure RAW workflow to take advantage of the 5D's capabilities.

Also; Loli Sniping Skill LVL UP.
