Ooopss!..

Often, saya selalu mengingatkan diri supaya lebih berhati-hati bila memetik shutter. Background!..background..Background! Itulah yang selalu terlupa bila nak memilih lokasi untuk portrait atau gambar apa saja. Portrait pada saya akan 'ngam' dgn clean background..simple & tak berserabut. Mata kita tak akan merayau-rayau tengok benda lain (ada jugak yg suka merayau mata carik kesalahan gambar..hehe) kalau ada background yang clean and simple. Tapi yang paling pedih adalah ada benda-benda mencacak kat atas kepala subjek macam gambar orang letak peace sign atau tanduk kat belakang kepala member yg lain. Inilah dia gambar saya dok tenung-tenung dan saya rasa patut diperbetulkan...dalam entry saya yang ini



Macam ada tanduk rudolf pulak..erk! Takpe..kita belajar dari kesalahan. Kalau ambik dari angle lain boleh hilangkan masalah ini. Cari lain, boleh guna photoshop blurkan kayu kat belakang tu atau pakai lens 2.8 yg besar batang anak pisang tu. Saya ambik byk shot masa tu dan rasa itu yg saya suka tapi sebenarnya ada salah sikit dari segi komposisi.. Nasib baik ada gambar dari angle lain..



Tapi background agak sharp dan semak sikit tapi rasanya boleh dimaafkan compare dgn tanduk rudolf.

Portrait dgn clean background dan simple macam nilah kira. Mata terus tengok subjek lepas tu barulah figure out apa benda kat belakang tu..tapi background blur dan clean jadi tak begitu penting untuk ditengok lama2.

Christmas Market - Overview

Selamat Hari Krismas & Tahun Baru 2009

Lagi gambar after the jump


Jalan-jalan kat Pasar Christmas diorang. Manchester City Council clain 10,000 visitors kali ni. Masa tengah hujan dan agak sejuk. Time yang best agaknya diorang nak minum-minum.

Gerai diatur sebelah menyebelah dengan pelbagai brg dan makanan untuk dijual. Makanan agak unik sebab ada yg datang dari jauh untuk makanan speciality diorang.

Hot chocolate..hot drinks. Macam menarik.

Coffee bar macam Starbucks..

Gambar Black & White memang boleh jual laa..

Budak dalam karung bapak dia..

Kalaulah daging & sausage ni boleh dimakan..kitorang dah la lapar sejuk-sejuk ni

Bob pun ada jual lempeng..

Tarikan makanan kat sini adalah home style cook.

Kedai ni lengang pada mulanya. Tapi lepas kitorang bertiga makan kat depan kedai diorang, ramailah yang nak join. Tak sedap pun Strudel dia. :(

English style fabrics..ada org yg gila benda2 ni.

Muppet burung ni siap dengan sound dia sekali...£5/each



Kepala binatang yang pandai bercakap & menyanyi. Gerai ni tempat diorang minum minuman 'panas'

Bibi suruh amik gamba ni n tak tau apasal. maybe sebab tak pernah pokok krismas warna putih kot

Platt Field Park

Tak tau la design failure ke atau cheap material. Roda depan three wheelers ni dah tak nak mengikut kiri or ke kanan. Talking about strollers, sesuatu keperluan untuk orang-orang di sini. Design yg paling simple sampai yang boleh bawak 3 orang babies. Accessories amat penting sebab kalau tak bawak babies boleh bawak ke kedai angkut groceries. Orang di sini commute dgn bas everyday dan diorang tak kisah bawak beban byk2 sambil berjalan kaki. Beg luggage pun diusung hari-hari..

View kat laman rumah kitorang..

Ada satu park..Platt Field Park namanya. Takde pun org bertenet kat sini..:)

Rupanya ada kolam itik kat sinin.

Satu gambar yg kena simpan elok2.

Kereta sapu

The first week sampai sini kitorang sewa sebijik kereta untuk mengangkut kelengkapan rumah. Vauxhall Astra, kereta made in UK. Powerful and solid car. Kereta kat sini memang murah, tapi banyak benda nak kena consider such as tax,mandatory service dan paling berdarah...dia punya insurance. Bila first time bawak kereta ni rasa macam first time bawak kereta.Semua 5 deria terpaksa digunakan sebab janggal sangat eventhough >10 years driving experience. Lain padang, lain belalang and people over here still complaining about traffic jam diorang yang ciput ni. Kalaulah diorang tau KL macam mana



ada jemputan makan from the students...laju je pergi. Masa winter memang cabaran untuk org yg berdiet. Students kat sini memang bersopan santun :)

Thaqif has found other people to socialize besides his parents.


...kitorang decided nak tengok Christmas Market malam tu (ala-ala Bazar Ramadan la kira..). Diorang carik brg2 makanan dan hadiah special kat sini sebelum celebrate christmas

Unfortunately tutup la pulak..baru pukul 9 malam dah tutup kedai, as well as the city. Later entry saya akan cover apa yg ada kat market tu.

Tunggu apa lagi...cabut ah!

Ezan & Man

Last kopek before I went to Manchester. A Little bit delay, but the photos is on the way through the mail. Ya! even though the internet is super fast here but uploading the extremely large seems a huge problem for me. By the time I finished the upload and later my printer finish downloading time, the mail will reach Malaysia.

Today's entry a little bit different. I've to deploy certain angle to capture the sweetness. I've told the couple to relax themselves and enjoy being a married couple. Love is everywhere and they are the lucky one to reach them that day.

I always try to nail the best shot after the makeup is complete.

check out more pictures after the jump

It has been twice this year at this location.

The weather is superb!

During akad nikah

Now, that's a relief

Favourite Past Time

Fuh lega..akhirnya kitorang dapat subscribe internet connection. Takde TV takpe, jangan takde internet...kata pujangga zaman kini. TV kat sini pun kena ada lesen pulak. 150 pound dan payah pulak nak jumpa TV tube yang besar gedegang tu since diorang dah main digital TV yang nipis-nipis. Sgt kagum dengan teknologi internet diorang. Kitorang ambik package 2MB aje, tu pun rasa dah laju gile compare dgn streamyx dulu. Up to 10, 20 even 40 MBs pun diorang ada.

Dipendekkan cerita..semasa pinjam broadband kawan2 hari tu..kitorang pun carik la some furnitures, meja study to be exact..Kat sini nak murah carik kat Ebay je..




Dapatla sebijik meja IKEA more or less 10 pound..:)


Kalau lepak kat double decker tingkat atas..paling depan sekali..sambil baca paper free..


My self..upper deck.

Fallowfield Review

Here's the view in front of our apartment. She opted for gated apartment and ground floor as an added bonus. She is going to her Uni now with grizzling rain along the way. Notice the wet pavement and her IKEA shade. It's cold I'm telling you.

I do this jump to track my favourite entry. :)

Agnes Court is where we live and just a 2 minutes walk to nearest bust stop. The bus service is really reliable and friendly to people carrying stroller/buggy. Lepas jugak Stroller 'Anakku' ke Manchester. We notice a lot of intuitive stroller design here and they are not cheap either. Thinking bout getting one for Thaqif but not our priority right now. He seems to enjoy it eh?

At Piccadilly garden where the heart of the city (I guess) and main bus station. The train just passing by slowly in the middle of the road (not in the picture) without honking you out of the way when crossing in front of them. We prep him w 3 layers of cloth by the way..

I pay a visit to London Camera Exchange and request their free brochure. You might to pay this stuff in Malaysia. D3X!..camera technologies is faster than wear & tear of your car tyres.

I shouldn't brag about this picture anyway cause KLCC is something similar. However the contents of the shop is significantly different. I pay $18 for my stupid nokia charger. Argh! you could get RM10 from Ah Leong.

This is the last pic I could snap before the Officer told me "Alright mate! You're not allowed to take pictures here eh?". Argos is different..All the stuff sold are displayed in their catalog and u just pick and they'll pick them up from the store. If you're lazy like Garfield can just browse their website aje.
