Who needs a DSLR when Phone cameras are this good..
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...

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. :)
To all Muslim readers, selamat berpuasa, May Allah bless us all during Ramadan, and throughout the year, with His forgiveness, mercy, and peace, and bring us all closer to Him and to each other..

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

Everyday, I make sure that I take at least one photo. A big part of the challenge was keeping up with editing and posting my photos.. This is all I got today..
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Weeds are flowers too once you get to know them..
So what is the problem if you're a weed not a flower?
Just be sweet , you can be sustenance for someone. If you are alone in a barren place, put on a happy face and bloom where you are planted. :)

2 hari MC, boring sebenarnya kat rumah, sedangkan di office banyak kerja, dan deadline submission new project ke KPKT hampir dekat. Banyak draft yang belum siap..
Esok kena pergi office juga.. motivate diri sendiri, semoga cepat sembuh (walaupun asyik terlupa makan ubat jer)
Gambar ni, bunga tu biasa je, tapi back ground TNB street light berlatar belakang langit, mmg awesome di mata saya :D
Now when I have Xperia Arc which performs a very good job in taking photo, I can only say, its hard for me to grab my Sony A290 ever since. I can't remember the last time I hold the camera...
I know.. I owe an apology to Mr. A290
Dear Mr. A290,
Baby, what a great photos you gave me this morning, And I know that I have been forgiven.. thanks baby!
Promise.. together we rock this world.. you and me
against the world!
P/s : Never forget the ones who stood by your side, even it is you camera!!!!!
Enjoy the photos...
