Who needs a DSLR when Phone cameras are this good..
I'm sorry for not updating in a while, here's a picture of Pizza I made that day....

One of the best places to photograph food is by a window where there is plenty of natural light. This daylight helps to keep the food looking much more natural.

I have no dedicated macro lens. Couldn't afford to buy one :D
Last year, I bought an extension tube. With the sale was included a "Macro Extension Tube" cost only RM80. I don't know too much about the product, I'd thought if I connect it to my lens, I can get a good macro shot.
The tubes have a top part, a bottom part, and then three sections. Looking through the viewfinder the screen is very dark. The viewfinder indicates as if there isn't a lens attached ("f/0").
Later I found out that the extension tube tak ada eletronic connector. Without those you lose aperture control. So tak boleh adjust the aperture value.. Kecewa, dan extension tube tu jadi mainan adik adik I.
Lupa sekejap ada tube tu, lepas setahun, teringat nak cari balik sebab dah setahun kumpul duit pun tak boleh beli juga lens macro tu kahkahkahkah!
I took the trouble cari kat internet, jumpa kat Youtube video cara nak adjust bukaan aperture tu dengan letak cebisan kertas yang digulung pada lens. Macam ni.. focus pada kertas kuning tu...
Kertas kuning tu akan block "lidah" aperture tu dari tertutup. Dont worry sebab tak effect apa apa kepada lens kita.
Attach balik lens dan extension tube dan cuba shoot. Memang lens kena letak betul betul dekat dengan object baru boleh dapat image yang clear. Macam ni...
Beza kalau guna close up dengan macro lens adalah bila kita close up kadang kala kita dapat image yang blur bila crop. Kalau kita dekatkan lens kepada object, perlu ada jarak minimum untuk lens fokus. Berbeza kalau macro lens,lens boleh didekatkan dengan object, dan image yang terhasil nampak besar dari object, sebab tu dipanggil macro. jadi untuk gambar syiling tu saya tak crop pun. Itu lah gambar asalnya.. Impressive kan..?
Anyway, this weekend I tried using the extension tubes with all my lenses, and I must say I was very impressed.
It's not the most interesting or closest macro you'll see, but it's sharp and the details are pretty good for an 18-55 kit lens.
Only downside is that it only works with manual (with the cheap tubes I got) and I had to use the flash...

Food brings back lots of childhood memory ...They are the classics that just don’t fade...
Biskut Biji Asam, I’m not sure what we called this biscuit in English. It had been ages since I last ate them! I had totally forgotten about this. I bought these all the time as a kid. My favorite childhood cookies.
The photos was taken at Ipoh. Last Merdeka Day, I dragged husband along with me to do some of the street photography at Ipoh Town. Kesian husband, he had to stop the car everywhere I want just to get my perfect shot.
Transitioning back to reality after vacation is such a hard work!! What we call a Post Vacation Blues, I suppose....
I’ve been experiencing all kinds of stress lately. I could only rely on two of them as my stress relievers. Walking and Photography..

Tajuk yang entah apa apa. :D.
Tradisi. Ini kuih Karas. Pernah makan? Dah lama tak makan kuih ni. Dulu-dulu kuihnya bentuk semi bulat. Tapi sekarang bentuk square. Tapi rasa tetap sedap. bentuk mungkin diubah sebab lebih praktikal nak packaging, tak senang patah dan comel je :D. Ni mak mentua yang bagi....
Ni kuih moden ciptaan terbaru. Acu DH yang bagi sebalang untuk dibawa balik ke Kedah. Tak tau lah nama apa, tapi dibuat dari kulit popia yang digulung panjang, dipotong dan digoreng, kemudian digaul dgn campuran susu, nestum dan gula. Yang Acu buat ni macam ada letak chocolate powder ke milo ke apa, jadi mmg sedapppp sgt.

Kacang rebus beli di Pusing, Batu Gajah Perak, masa cuti raya lepas. Besar-besar, putih putih dan bersih bersih kacangnye. Rasa manis. DH belikan a kg for his wife ni yang gila kacang rebus. Perli apa kah? :D
Lokasi : Across BHP Pusing, kedai Nyonya Jual Buah.
Having these two cuties is fun. But they require an enormous amount of care! Because they are still babies (about a month old) when we took them home.
Two kittens is equal to a baby. From bottle feeding, introduction to solid foods to litter box training.... all the trouble is compensated by extreme pleasure looking them grow so fast sampai besar montel panjang.
The decision to adopt a kitten is exciting. But their previous owner offered us two kittens, which kesian pulak nak pisah kan mereka. At first bila bawa balik rumah, mak lah paling bising, with two kittens yang dia nak kena jaga while me at work. Erk takkan la nak hantar ke nursery pulak kan.. :D
But now both are so close with "mak tok" diorang.. he he he
I just love these two so much and we are having so much fun.. they're just so much darn fun to watch!
Hope tak ada la yang curi budak bulus 2 ekor ni, cubaan cubaan yang ada telah berjaya dipatahkan setakat ini :).

Dulu-dulu nak sangat jadi interior designer.
Bila kerja, diberi kepercayaan untuk buat interior show house. Mulanya tak yakin. Tapi sebab minat dan banyak membaca mengenai decoration ni...
Maka untunglah boss saya dapat show house untuk new project yang cantik dan servis percuma pulak tu (T__T)
Saya buat dari scratch. Frame gambar pun saya DIY sendiri. Dah banyak collection photo gambar bunga tu, print dan masuk kan dalam frame. Kalau boleh nak letak banyak frame lagi tapi nanti dah jadi macam galeri photo sendiri pulak instead of show house :D
Saya tak kisah bagi service free sebab kalau pakai consultant ID, saya pulak yang tak berkenaan kat design dia. Mungkin dia pening dengar saya complaint untuk show house yang lepas lepas, tak nampak warmie langsung dan lebih kepada for display je. Jadi baik lah orang yang banyak songeh ni buat sendiri ikut citarasa sendiri :D
Nasib baik dia impress.. lega ;D

Rasanya memang failed lah bagi seorang photographer kalau tak tau apa apa tentang subjectnya. :D
Setiap hari bila pergi kerja, selalu nampak bunga ni letak betul atas pagar jiran. Berkenaan. Hari tu on the way Tesco Stargate, nampak ada satu nursery susun banyak bunga ni, terus lah park kereta dan beli 2 pasu, satu merah dan kuning. Tapi lebih suka yang warna merah sebab bunganya besar!
Sampai sekarang tak tau ni bunga apa. Dahlia? Daisy atau Sunflower?
Owhh percaya atau tidak, gambar ni diambil dengan camera handphone Sony Xperia je. :)

Allah created everything out of love, and therefore He loves what He has created. Subsequently He loves the believers even more intensely. Allah has created people in such a way that they enjoy being loved and loving others, and are pleased with friendships and closeness.. ;)

You can gain more friends by being yourself than you can by putting up a front. You can gain more friends by building people up than you can by tearing them down. And you can gain more friends by taking a few minutes from each day to do something kind for someone, whether it be a friend or a complete stranger. What a difference one person can make!

Hi Peeps! Try to find the perfect time, perfect stories for my blog seems harder than ever. Anyway, I have so many photos in my stock to share with. Most of the photos was taken at my mother in law's kampung in Kg. Piandang Lama, Batu Gajah Perak. Had a good time at DH's family gathering last couple weeks ;).
Some of the photos....... (to be cont.) :D

My birthday was about 2 weeks ago on the 26th May. I turned 30 yeayyy!
Nothing for me to wish for. I just hope everyone is happy and healthy. Life was getting better the older I got. I'm a better person than I was yesterday. But I'm far from perfect. I still make mistakes and fail at times.
Thank you, Allah, for giving me another year of life.
Thank you Allah for all the experience of this past year;
for times of success which will always be happy memories,
for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for You,
for times of joy when the sun was shining,
for times of sadness which drove me to You.
No fancy cake on that special day. I just baked myself a super-rich-sweet-gooey 5 minutes microwave chocolate (double the chocolate hahaha) cake and enjoy every single bite of it without feeling guilty.. :p
Here’s to another 30 years, and then another..
