Thousands of miles, near to the heart.

why war is the answer?
where is the peace act?
when blood becomes the river.
of a land becomes an impact.

blood replaces water,
not a thirst for life,
but greed that linger,
hearts of war and death.

the cries of children everywhere,
bullets and bombs turn to hunger...
hunger of greed, hunger of land?
why must it be? why oh why?
they all die? why children cry?
blood and tears a combination to war.
devastating....

where is their human rights?
where is the peace act?
when tears mix with blood..
the sun turns to red,
when we all fall down one day,
we shall realise the truth behind..
lies we believed. lies that are deceived...

when will the killing stop?
it is up to us, it is up to our humanity, our rights, our fight...
against the cruelty deceived..
deceived with land.

After snapping some pictures using the kit lens of 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 of the fire ants, i was wishing my telephoto lens to arrive. Yet it has not arrived... but last night i was able to Accidently bid on an extender for my kit lens, it is a wide angle + panoramic lens for a sum of BN$100++ made by Bowen lens. hopefully i'll post more macro shots :) here are the shots of the fire ants..





yep after reaching the limit of 200 pictures in my flickr, i've upgraded it to a Pro account, so expect more of my pictures in my flickr account. despite my macbook hard drive is getting full reaching a free memory of 60gig out of 250gig from my pictures so i'll be putting my pictures in my flickr account.

experimenting with panoramic pictures... and some results

i've been experimenting with some panoramic pictures which is one or more pictures merged together to get a much wider view (hence panoramic).

items you need:
of course a camera,
a tripod (or a steady base)
for digital camera, photoshop.
for film camera a scanner and photoshop.( or tape and sharp knife or cutter when printed)
a good scene.

i was actually interested in scene pictures when i discovered the ideas of "stitching" my uncle gantong said. or in other meaning, merging two or more picture to get one really great pic. Here are some examples of pictures i've taken.



first i took this picture on the right. remember this is on a tripod and all manual settings such as manual focus and camera must be set to manual aperture and shutter speed.



then i took this second shot taking note the island on the left as my marking mark.


uploaded it to my macbook and opened photoshop.

opened the two pictures equally and put the second pic window on top of the first pic window estimating the island as marked.

then i open file>automate>photomerge

then the pictures are merged, however we can manually merge it if the file is not recognisable.

then i crop and edited the burnt sides with photoshop plus the watermark. the outcome is the picture below.




hope you can try it out :)

Tomorrow is a new day to begin.

it's late and i guess i can't really go to sleep. Don't know why but i think i got the holiday mood still in my mind.

Started to make this post using my n81. Actually testing out the keypad where i always hit the * key rather than the 7prs key.

Its a little slow using my hp although i prefer 2 use my macbook.which is now in my wife's hands. So plan 2 buy a new mac. Maybe the new 15inch pro. (hopefully!)

some shots picked from the sailing outing.

yes, still experimenting with my new Canon 450d... yep got to get more lens, despite waiting for my coming 70-210mm Samigon lens coming soon. will post the pictures here.

soon i'll be more into potraits and wedding pictures, so if i'm serious on that level, i'll be buying myself a pro account on my flickr. anyways enjoy my shots!!!

A Relaxing morning for a perfect day to end the week!

click on this picture to ask more about the boat charter.
on this picture i took with my new Canon 450d is their flyers and info on the how to book the sailing event.

Today, i went boat sailing because a friend (saifol) ask me if i could join him on taking shots about a sailboat. It was actually the launching of the boat as a charter boat.

yes it was relaxing! and the bonus thing is anyone can charter the sail boat.

the boat was really beautiful, mostly made of wood! really fantastic to see Brunei once again using a slow sail boat.

here are more photos on my facebook....

>>MY facebook account<<

i may soon post some selected pics on my flickr.
