Techy Geeky

Posted with Eeepc...

I just realised tt i havent posted rubbish photos for some time. Photography has taken priority for some time and there's been clearly more photos taken with my dslr of late on this space!:)

Some of my friends say i should maintain a photoblog proper and not have everything so chapalang.. but at this pt of time, i have no plans to maintain 2 blogs. So it shall be chapalang for now!

Today, i found joy in techy geeky stuff. Actually, i've been loving my eeepc more than ever since i bought it cos it has been truly useful to me! It's so nice to carry it ard and the convenience it has brought me is such a bonus.



Last wk when i was waiting for frens at simlim, i was actually able to come out with the excel spreadsheet for my research data entry. If i haven't had my eeepc with me, i would be wasting time staring into space and zoning out :)

Sounds pretty awesome right?

Booting my eeepc makes me happy cos i see this desktop background with 2 of my fave colours.



(i know...i cant help it but notice the disparity of photo quality but it's ok! I'd explain why!)

My excitement for Eeepc doesnt end here. I'm actually looking forward to bring it to India. This little thing is going to let me do A LOT of things! At least i hope so:)

Just like publishing this post today, first, the photo was taken with my fujifilm compact. Then i take the memory card out and slot it into the SD card slot directly!



I could edit my photos if i want to before i upload to photobucket!

Today i successfully installed Adobe Lightroom on my eeepc. I perfectly understand the limits of this humble pc.. but if it allows me to process a few of my RAW photos taken with my Nikon D60, i'd be more than happyy! If it works, i shall not be too bored at night in India in my room alone and i could share some nice sights of India sooner :):) Yayy

I take my photos in RAW format and each file is abt 10 MB. To make sure i do not run out of space in India, i'd be bringing this wonderful thing! Portable harddisk :)



If u realise my electronics have all these kiddy girly floral stickers. It's to help me identify my stuff easily and i guess also to deter guys from taking it by mistake. haha.

I was thinking, IF i do get wireless internet access like yingxian is getting in the mountains.. i should be able to update this blog still :)

Excited :):)

Yayy

Love for Macros

Today was qt a good day for photos! After church, i happen to chance upon some butterflies:) Anyone knows the name of this species? I tried to check my butterfly atlas but i couldnt find a perfect match.







In the evening, after a light drizzle, the plants were sprinkled with water droplets. The sight made me happy! :)







See the alamanda in the droplet! :)

Hope you found something you like here :)

Rise and Shine!

This bread always puts a smile on my face. I've been trying to get this bread with a lovely yolk. Once i did so, it didnt survive the journey home!

Hope it makes you smile too :)

Macaroons

OT today wasnt as fruitful so i decided to cheer myself up by getting macaroons. I love their colours :)



























Hope the colours cheered u up too :)

Cats and Smiles

I went over to my uncle's place to see his newborn child. The venue of the party was qt dimly lit and the child was so sound asleep that i felt it'd be cruel to use the flash on him!

Managed to take some photos after trying to figure out some flash settings.



This is his first child Isaiah in slow sync flash :) This was initially a mistake, but the effect is pretty cool :)



Daddy and son!





















Happy wkend everybody!

Dew on Petals

I was feeling exceptionally unmotivated today. Thank goodness i was able to take some photos at home to cheer myself up.

Pretty cheerful right? Love the colours :)

Insy Weensy Spider

I've been having a headache since i woke up and i thought of ONE thing i could do to make myself feel better. On my way to get lunch, i dropped by the same bush to take some photos of the same spidey :)









Last but not least, a busy ant! Although not the entire ant is in focus, i love the colours :):)



I'm hoping to get better with my lens :) Lots more to improve!

Incomplete

When i was at this corridor, I saw potential in what was before me but i cant seem to capture it on my camera. It still lacks the certain impact i could see when i was there :(





Notice that the units are rather close together. I'm guessing these are one room flats. And i think the alternating bands of light and dark areas on the floor are pretty cool.
Perhaps a weathered-looking ah pek looking my direction will make the picture complete :)

Macros

Macros have proven to be more challenging that i've imagined. Challenge is gd though! Since i like to learn new things :)

I took the camera out today cos i ended early. I didnt venture far.. just at my void deck :)

Bottle Tree

A short trip to bottle tree returned some surprises :) I'm looking forward to a macro lens :)























Have u seen lotus seed before? They look kinda gross to most pple. Similarly seeing them here can stir some discomfort in me. haha
