Alhamdulillah, berpindah jugak aku akhirnya keluar dari Langkawi. Yang paling best aku suami isteri dapat pindah kedua-dua sekali. Cuma dia dah dapat memo 1 Jan 2009 kat sekolah baru tapi aku maybe lambat seminggu dua, mungkin sebab aku ni buat rayuan so proses lambat sikit kot tambahan pula aku tukar dari SM Teknik ke SMK harian. So kena gi sekolah lama dulu la seminggu dua nih. Apa2 pun janji bleh pindah. Happy gila sebab perpindahan kami ini bersempena tahun baru Islam ... Awal Muharram.

Bought this unit from ShaShinki last week at RM250. I've keep all my photography's gears inside it ... of cause afraid of FUNGUS !!. I find that its enough to fit with 2 camera's bodies + 5 lenses or more .. so no problem to store my current gears + my wish gear in future.
Just placed an order right through my new online friend Mr. Fauzi (www.albumprima.com). Cost me about RM370. Thanks for your help Mr Fauzi. Maybe will have it in two weeks times. Hope so if not, money will be refund. Mr. Fauzi told me that the queue to get this lens quite long.
Before you snap the picture, imagine your picture area divided into thirds both horizontally and vertically. The intersections of these imaginary lines suggest four options for placing the center of interest for good composition. The option you select depends upon the subject and how you would like that subject to be presented.

Fractalius plugin creates unusual, eccentric artworks in a single step. The effects are based on extraction of so-called hidden fractal texture of an image. You can also simulate various types of exotic lightings and high realistic pencil sketches.
Testing my new gear combination for macro shooting ... still don't have enough money to buy the special superb micro lenses like Nikkor 105mm , Tamron 90mm or etcs. Anyway Raynox DCR 250 does good job so far but the problem is my shooting skills still suck ! .... he he
