dari lensa kamera...

i bought my first camera on 2001... olympus... trip xb 400 ... i used it for a year...it wasnt a good camera... cikai.. beli bape puluh dollar je... nak murah... time tu.. the most important part is...capture all the moment... mahal or murah.. tak kesah... kualiti.. kurang kesah sket.. so i bought that camera.. dia punye focus.. 24mm je... tu yg hampeh tuu...

then the next year... i cilok camera kat rumah.. olympus trip af mini... 35mm... good enough.... but best result if you use ISO 400 film... kodak is the best i guess.... starts my first year course... geology... and i realize that i need a better camera for a better shot of the rocks... heheh....

went back to malaysia on december last year... i told ayah that i want to get an slr (single lens reflect) camera... something that is good enough to take macro shot of a rock... memula dia tak layan... maybe he tought that i was just mumbling around ... (actually i dont know what i want to get... i dont have any idea of the slr stuff... just a camera with a lens that u can change...)...
since he didnt interested... i ask pakcak...(my uncle.. adik ayah)... he is a part time wedding photographer.... belambak camera dia ada... so.... he give me a tour on all of his gadget.... bla bla bla... i saw ayah looking at us .... hehhehe... nih masa raya nih...

then... we off to parit buntar... on the car... surprisingly... he talk about it.... everything... hehhehe he told me what he was like being a photographer... at that time... in his early 20s... the coloured photo baru je diperkenalkan.... plus... masa tu kl tak maju lagi... time tu... penang.. leads the camera industry.... he bought his camera.... from canon.. to minolta... to pentax... then he realize that he need slr camera... then ... he chooses canon.... after that... he changed camera about 12 times... canon ax.. bla bla bla... he still remember the model number... to minolta.. to nikon...

bought the camera at penang.. and develop it at penang also... coz at that time... he said... at that time... along the penang road... berderet kedai camera... he uses to travel by bus... naik ferri... sanggup jalan dari ferri... dari naik bas seposen to penang road... he loughed at himself... seposen naik bas pun berkira... beli camera mahal2 sanggup... hehhehe...from the story... i think he enjoyed it... sekeping gambar masa tu... RM2.... mak aai... cekik darahnya ayah aku nih...(aku cakap dlm hati)... then... i asked him.. why was it so expensive... dia kata.. cina buat 4 ringgit.... dia buat half than cina... develop menda tu pun dah mahal.. duit modal beli camera lagi... (ok make sense... to me)....

why did he quit???? sbb org tak bayar hutang... ye la org kawin... gambar kawin org takkan la kita nak simpan.... dia pun bagi laa balik... and dia jemu sbb org tak bayar.. then i asked him... so untung ke rugi???? alhamdulillah untung... then he got bored.. quit... and try another business....

ic... that was the story of him being a photographer.... and i can show you all of his works at home.... banyak gambar masa budak2 kitorang... (actually.. me ... hakimi.. and hakim... tapi start kat hakim dah kurang dah) me and kimi got the most pic of all... dari kitorang lahir... baring... meniarap... merangkak... naik basikal... everything... ada... it was well kept... dulu nak tgk gambar masa kecik2 pun kene mintak kebenaran... sbb ayah mmg jaga betul gambar2 tu... ada satu album... kalau my pic... its just me... then.. kalau kimi... its just kimi... then.. kalau kitorang berdua... kitorang berua je.... fuh... i miss my pic album... (ayah's actually)....bak kata ayah... susun gambar pun kene ada seni.... yup... he did it well....

then... he told me what to get.... a standard body.... with a standard lens... wide angle lens... zoom lens... kalau ada duit lebih from apa yg aku budget... then u can get a macro lens....

then... we off to penang... (few weeks after that).... get them all... canon EOS 300v date... (my standard body)... along with 28 to 90mm lens.. with wide angle lens.... and a zoom lens... Tamron AF70-300mm F4/5.6 LD-MACRO (panjang betul nama model...)...
TAMRON tu nama company.... tamron is the company that specializing in lenses... dia buat normally zoom lens .. utk canon.. minolta.. pentax... nikon.. and stuff... dia tak buat camera...
AF70-300mm nih nama model... 70 to 300mm basically means... dia boleh tangkap gambar sampai 3 km.... (rasenyela)....
F 4/5.6.. nih focus value dia... dia akan membengaruhi aperture value nanti.. so.. paling besar dia leh focus... 5.6... plg kecik 27 rasanya... ke 64... tak perasan pulak...
LD-MACRO.... maknenye dia leh tangkap macro shots... focus point dia kecik la... kalau tangkap gambar misai... nampak sehelai2...

so... tamron lens nih bagus sbb dia dah ada dgn macro mode skali...

then... balik teluk intan... kene kursus photography.... first and formost.... blajar cam mana nak pegang kamera.... lain oooo.... maneleh main taram pegang je... first 2 weeks... terketar2 pengang... especially bila mount kan zoom lens yg berat tu... everyday kene train pegang... sambil tu... familiarize with the camera... all of the mode... everyday u'll learn something different... know what mode u have to get to capture this kind of shot... pasal focus point... pasal blur... sort of everything...

then... take pictures... 50% of it is the skill and camera... another half is your creativity.... yup.... creativity is the essential part...

to suria... aku teringin sgt nak tangkap gambar kau kawin... sbb aku kesian tgk org perempuan kawin zaman skarang... ramai cina.. dan lelaki yg jadi photographer... and kadang2 derang selamba2 je pegang tangan perempuan tu.. suruh letak kat situ.. kat sini... suruh org tu buat cam tu cam nih.... tu yg aku teringin gak nak jadi wedding photographer... tapi..... actually jadi photographer nih... jadi center of attraction.. especially bila pegi function2 cam tu... and kpd perempuan2 yg kawin tu... tak payah tangkap gambar kan senang.... tapi... i know how does it feel to get look the best in your wedding day... then.. capture all the moment....

my wish

hehhehe its very expensive hobby ... i know... insyaAllah ... if i ada rezeki... ill buy a video cam....hehhe insyaAllah...

tips beli camera

kalau nak beli camera biasa je... yg auto.. 4 segi cam biasa tu...
firstly.. beli la yg auto... sbb senang...
secondly... beli yg dia punyer focus lens at bigger than 30mm
problem with camera biasa is... the what u look in the camera it not what will keluar bila film develop... and tu satu advantage SLR... apa yg kita tgk dlm camera itu yg akan keluar.... tapi for camera biasa tak... so.. kalau boleh beli la yg 30mm and above... kalau ada zoom lens pun ok gak...
for this type of camera... i reckon... olympus is good.. and have a reasonable price... trip af mini tu... plg murah.. and u can get a good pic out of it...

kalau nak beli SLR.... normally mode dia sama je sume... and the price pun lebih kurang same... i recommend... penang road... its still the best place to shop for camera... compare to kl... (kl mahal sket... tapi dlm 100 200 jer pun.. kalau pandai tawar... but penang road is still the best)...
mmm.... jenama... canon... sbb canon dia lebih user interface.. nikon... the problem with nikon is... dia lagi mahal.. and kadang2 canon will offer u a better quality... and new realease camera with the same nikon yg dah 5 taun lepas... olympus... boleh tahan... minolta pun boleh tahan... pentex.. murah... and the quality... tak sure sgt...

zoom lens... kalau dpt beli tamron... more widely accepted...

digital camera....

nih pun kene bagi tips jugak eventhough aku tak dek digital camera... tapi ada la buat research sket2 masa nak beli tu... skang nih bnyak dah digital camera yg kuar... tapi not all of them are good quality... cari yg pixel value dia tinggi sket... around 256 (nih sgt tinggi sebenarnye)... 256 pixel value... cth camera... nikon coolpix... tapi yg rendah sket pun ok gak... tapi nih kene check balik... selalunya yg ada lcd screen tu dah good enough dah dia punye pixel value... check jugak resolution.. masa nak beli tu... ok lah... bnyak dah merepek... tschuss
