University of Manchester & the City itself

No, that's not my pic in the booklet. I've studied some pics from printout of student guidebook, orientation guides etc. I bet my wife here not familiar w some of the pic :). One day I'm going to complete this series and try to capture the scene at different perspective. Sometimes I need to learn how other see the scene from their viewfinder.

I don't think I can get this shot. It's high above but...who knows.

Go ahead to run the slide show to run 25 pics all together. I believe whitwoth building is the most saught after pic. It symbolize the University and the city itself.

Roti Canai Unplugged

conteng2 Friday, January 23, 2009 13 comments

Dah dua kali buat roti canai. Dua-dua tak jadi & tak tau apa la silapnya. Dia tak liat untuk ditebar dan tak boleh tarik sampai nipis-nipis. Habis idea nak figure out apa yang silapnya. Hehe..kalau ada sesapa nak tolong sila la kasi comment ok?

Resepi sempoi je, ambik dari internet. Tepung gandum,susu segar, air, butter (margerin takde), minyak. Uli-uli sampai liat (buat sekejap je ni),biar 30 mins. Lepas tu kita buat dough kecik dan biar dalam peti sejuk semalaman.Giannya!

Adakah salah tepung...atau butter.

Snowyyy

Hari sebelumnya pun turun snow, tapi agak ciput. On the way nak ke kedai, snap gambar ni. Ada bulan di siang hari dan langit sgt cerah dan biru. Selalunya kelam dan kelabu masa musim sejuk ni..Rupa-rupanya kat depan ni ada cubaan mencabul wanita Mat Salleh oleh seseorang yg tak dikenali. Orang cakap dia naik basikal yang sangat kuning. Fuh!..Negara maju lagi tinggi risiko jenayahnya.

Percaya pada diri sendiri

Pernahkah anda rasa anda boleh melakukan sesuatu yang mustahil dan tak pernah anda buat tetapi anda teruskan juga tanpa BANYAK berpikir panjang. Ya, dulu saya ada banyak semangat macam ni. Saya cuma perlu satu suara hitam/negatif yang perlu untuk mematahkan semangat dan membuat saya berfikir semula. Selalunya orang-orang di sekeliling anda yang memberi sokongan dan galakan walaupun di belakang kita, mereka gelakkan kita. Itulah pentingnya org-org di sekeliling anda untuk memberi anjakan dan harapan.

Saya tak pernah main skate tapi semangat nak try dan belasah aje mengatasi segala-galanya. Kawan-kawan pun ada join membakar semangat untuk praktis selalu. Luka-luka dan seliuh tak usah cerita. Hasilnya, dengan selamba pergi kelas sejauh 2 km pakai inline skate. Terkenang zaman dulu...Semuanya bermula dengan angan-angan nak main extreme game.

Seronok dapat main skate balik..ice skating tak banyak beza. Nasib baik skill ada lagi walaupun dah 10 tahun tinggalkannya. Kena cari balik semangat yang macam dulu-dulu. Mungkin agaknya sekarang kurang berangan, byk masa berdepan dengan realiti. Tetapi, kalau bersungguh2 dan selalu praktis, angan2 akan jadi realiti.

Against the sun

Kalau pakai kamera point n shoot dulu memang cuba nak ambik gambar melawan matahari, tapi apakan daya, flash dan control ada limitation. Tapi gambar ni agak kurang umph berbanding gambar kalau pakai off lighting. Kat sini pakai flash TTL dgn difffuser dome. Straight atas kamera. Kita akan cuba lagi nanti untuk lebih dramatik.

The Night before 2009

Jadi, nak sambung balik cerita tahun baru hari tu..

Tengok review dari internet especially di London, pengunjung yg nak tengok bunga api dinasihatkan datang awal seelok-eloknya jam 8 lapan untuk mengelakkan kesesakan dan berebut..katanya. Ditambah lagi, kalau dah masuk dalam crowd tu, elok duduk kat situ aje dan jgn nak menggatal keluar sebab mungkin anda tak jumpa keluarga/kawan-kawan bila anda patah balik. Uh! mesti jam pack malam ni..aku berkata. Jadi kitorang pun segera membungkus diri dgn pakaian yg tebal sebab memang sejuk gila malam tu. Tapi hampas! Pukul 10 lengang macam ni kat Manchester.

We started our journey with casual portrait as usual, just to warm up the cameralah. One day I may want to get some portrait from the local people here. Look that very distinguish ~~it is~~.

Available light...not that dramatic but it's hard to get him smiling like that. 1/10 shots.

Happy New year 2009!!

We came early that night hoping to avoid the jammed packed crowd. Unfortunately, there is nothing to worry coz the people dont want to wait for hours in the freezing cold. No shop open that night except the happening bars & night clubs.At 11.15 the place in front Arndale where the big wheel is started to filled up with the local people. 10 minutes with the spectacular fireworks.
