Dragonfly

Posted on the June 7th, 2009 under Photography, insect, macro by admin

Felt sad as I was not managed to attend Nuffnang Standout Party. lol anyway I was generous to let others went with 2 tickets.

Anyway, I was blessed to see one dragonfly flew into my house before going to church just now. Of course la without hesitation, took out my A200 with kit lens only to shoot this baby. I started to like dragonfly and other insects now. Probably will decide whether wanna spend some bucks on Macro tools like Tamron SP90mm. :)

Legendary Beercan 70210

Posted on the June 2nd, 2009 under Photography, lens by admin

Few weeks ago, my brother bought one famous legendary Minolta lens- Beercan 70210. It’s called as Beercan cause the size looks like beercan :)

It has fixed aperture f/4 and the lens is solid built and has snappy blade. I’m lovin it. The previous owner really took good care of the lens.

I managed to take some photos with this lens in low light condition but not outdoor before my brother brought it back to KL. The focus speed was kinda slow and the picture quality a bit soft at full length 210mm. Nevertheless, totally sharp at 70mm.

p/s : no photo processing applied, just resize and add the photo flame.

Clock at 70mm.

DSC00823

Clock at 210mm.

Maybe my hands were shaky and the focus speed was slow.

My Bible at 70mm.

My Bible at 210mm. Color a bit soft kan?

Overall, this is a good lens. Really no regret to get it. :)

Vivitar DF 400 MZ

Posted on the May 17th, 2009 under Photography by admin

Before buying my first DSLR, I knew that I will have to spend bucks on the camera accessories. lol.

Recently, I bought a used flashgun, Vivitar DF 400 MZ brand with two free diffusers. lol, taking picture in dark place is more easier now. The flash is quite new as the owner has the original Sony F56 flashgun to use. This was just a backup flash for himself.

I managed to take few photos. Please don’t mind the photo quality ya as I adjusted the size, so the quality a bit chao liao.

My bro’s A350 with my Vivitar flash. It came with the flash itself, box, 2 free diffusers.

The flash itself has reflecting plate and diffuser too.

So, it’s pretty handy actually.

Lol look manual a bit but doesn’t matter. It can be used as slave flash, kind of wireless flash thingy.

Bought these all at RM350 plus postage fee which I think quite reasonable lah. I will make full use of it. As Dan Khoo said, cheap thing doesn’t mean bad quality nor does expensive thing mean good quality.A cash advance made the purchase possible

I am just satisfied :D
