<b><span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year Dear Friends.</span></b><br />
<br />
I hope all of you had an enjoyable new year's eve and managed to stay out of trouble.<br />
In the last couple of months a lot has moved within the digital camera world particularly within the premium compacts followed by the semi-pro compacts and of course compacts (at least one is released every week I guess). Some of them were good and some of them were bad. I had to learn a very expensive lesson in 2010. It's called a ' G12 purchase '.<br />
<br />
What is a 'G12 purchase' ?<br />
<br />
In 2010 I purchased a Canon G12. Back then, after countless reviews and testing it myself, I was convinced that the G12 is THE camera to get. I wasn't quite accurate. Although it had a million functions to tweak my photos and explore my creativity, the problem is, it had a million functions which I will take half a minute to scroll through looking for which effect I might want to use and when I do decide on one, the picture was already gone. My dad is using it now. Heh.<br />
<br />
So in looking for a compact camera that would some what perform close to a DSLR ( I had the 5D MK II not too long ago before I sold it off to a lady ) it was near impossible. To tell you the truth, no pro-compact cameras WITH a fixed focal length lens can perform as good as a DSLR. No there isn't. Really. Unless what I'm writing here gets outdated tomorrow. So what I'm actually looking for in a camera is<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>MORE PORTABLE THAN A DSLR</b></span> i.e I do not have to carry a huge bag with a big sign on my forehead that says<i> ' Hello I have a huge camera in my backpack '</i>. I've been there and I've done that. I want the shutter to be silent and a camera that looks like it was from my dad's stash of retro goodies.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">FINE TUNED FEATURES - BASIC IS GOOD</span></b> i.e I do not want a million features in my camera with 20 page menus and 100 page sub-menus. What I want is a once in a life time set up and then focus on getting the image. I find fisheye, tint etc features utterly hopeless because you can do it all on photo editing software. Also iPhones and Androids are doing a way better job in tinting. What I need is specifically fine tuned settings e.g shutter speed of 1/56 because 1/60 is too dark and 1/30 gets me blur images. Stuffs like that.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">DOES NOT ENCOURAGE ME TO BUY MORE LENSES</span></b> i.e Stop me from spending any more money on buying more lenses and focus on getting the image. This is pretty much the most important thing really.<br />
<br />
These 3 features may be a little uncommon because normally other reviews would say " I want a lightweight camera, portable, long battery life, nice colors, good grip " Whatever. I need those too in some way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4gya9Q-w2S9az83pMqQ4Cq1EAtZ40mwOQfDjw27CJ0PH5EZkvHBuwp6PTYxO8RKIGzkiWGoRTKA63HdAUZW6RUJ1kAik8ZorLfNOUACRJY_9LstJAEAcdP0ZgO85NrW8Dqs3BxF1mvdoC/s1600/fuji-x100+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4gya9Q-w2S9az83pMqQ4Cq1EAtZ40mwOQfDjw27CJ0PH5EZkvHBuwp6PTYxO8RKIGzkiWGoRTKA63HdAUZW6RUJ1kAik8ZorLfNOUACRJY_9LstJAEAcdP0ZgO85NrW8Dqs3BxF1mvdoC/s400/fuji-x100+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Therefore, I'm going to come back here in about a months time and tell you all about it.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Last November (2010), I bid farewell to my good ol' Nikon D300. Ultimate DX camera, unbeatable (I take it that the Nikon D300s was just an equivalent sibling with an extra kidney). Nevertheless, I blogged about jumping ship, balance in the force, Yoda Mark II and Darth Vikon. <a href="http://simaaronphotography.blogspot.com/2010/11/balance-in-force.html">(Refer to Balance In The Force)</a><br />
<br />
This year (2011) however, I've decided to let Yoda Mark II go. Puzzled you are. My new role as an operations engineer has not given me even a tiny peek out of the window. And things are just getting busier. Music photography what ? Concerts what ? But am I missing out all the fun ? I don't think so. I've come to realise that I am falling back to street photography and documentary-ish photography. No I am not getting old. Wiser perhaps.<br />
<br />
Yoda Mark II barely hit 3000 shots. Deftones was the only concert photographed using the Mark II, a couple of weddings, a couple of cars and the rest of the time, it stayed in a cold dark cave. Way too much money was in that cave and I am also in need of a smaller and easier to carry-around camera. Will I buy another DSLR in the near future ?

So you might ask, what is my new found love ? The Fuji X100 ? It's pretty obvious I'd go for one if my finances allow me to. Overpriced ? Under-powered ? Burn the technical sheets because it's worth every penny.<br />
<br />
I still love photography. No doubt about that at all but time is not exactly on my side at the moment. After 3-4 years of non-stop photography, I can share with you this, the camera will never make you a better photographer. Ever.<br />
<br />
p/s : New photos coming soon.

The steady march of new and more affordable cameras in the photo biz often makes my head spin. I am having a hard time keeping up with the latest technology in cameras. Waking up to this morning's update, photographers can now capture an image first and decide on the focus later. I hope it is not for a mind-bending sum because it would come in really handy for someone who doesn't bother to turn the focus ring any more - engineers especially.<br />
<br />
While I was out at sea the other day, I did not have the luxury of choosing what camera I wanted to use or what lens would I prefer. It was either a mid-range entry level Canon camera or a Nikon and they don't come with a fancy lens either. I had my fair share of concert and club photography and most of the photos are what you see on my SpaceBook and MyFace. I'd like to share something different, photographs that even the best photographers out there would probably never be able to experience or capture. Welcome to the rig.<br />

Here are some of my best photos from the performance. Simply put, Deftones has one of the best front man I've ever seen !<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I got a call me mate Peteh, 4 hours before the show if I was interested in snapping some photographs at the Deftones concert. Why not ? About time I tested the Canon Mark II in concert lighting conditions. I gladly say yes and hung up only to realize that I <s>actually don't have any lenses ! </s> have only the Canon 50mm. All the shots you see in this post were shot with a fixed focal length lens.</div><br />

Chino Moreno is one awesome front man. Two words. Endless, Energy. It was a joy photographing Deftones. Enjoy the photos. One more thing, just in case you're wondering where's the photo of the drummer and the bassist ? I couldn't get them or maybe I did but some other bloke jumped into my frame in the photographer's box.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Yes I was at Deftones on Valentines night. My apologies if I've missed some of you guys while trying to squeeze my way into the hall. I tried my best to say hello. It was madness, The amount of people waiting outside to enter.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm going to take a while with the photos. Trying my skills at a preview video with <a href="http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1175714228541#tabview=tab0">Corel Video Studio Pro X3</a> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Expect the photos to be up by next week and the video in the next couple of days (if my software arrives in time). Shot the entire concert with a <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/canon_50_1p8_ii_c16/">50mm lens</a> on a full frame camera because I didn't have any other lenses with me. Big risk ? Yes. Big challenge ? All the better.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Over the winter, I sit in front of my fire place sipping my hot Milo trying to figure out what I could come up with for the new year. I switched system, I have no lens and I no longer have the CLS system with me. Worry not, I tell myself. I'll have to get some other light source for the mean time. What ever light that I can get !</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know how some of you would want to see the behind-the-scene stuff but I really don't have much time to come up with something organised. There's a couple more sessions coming up so I'll make this a quick one. This isn't exactly a tutorial, some of you could even pull this off better than I can. My lighting laws may be wrong. I do what I can with what I have to get the shot that I want.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is pretty much what reality has to offer and how I manipulate what I can to come up with an image. I do not know the rules from text book. I just fit in what I can to get the desired effect. For now, I offer to you my recent session with <b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Anthony Noel, CEO Producer</span></i></b> of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"><a href="http://www.bigaproductions.com/">BIG A Productions</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Anthony is a very busy man. We somewhat manage to squeeze a studio interior shoot and one portraiture shoot in between his recording schedule. In fact, on that day, he had to get a guitar track done for <a href="http://www.myspace.com/meetunclehussain">Meet Uncle Hussain</a>. I wanted to keep things simple for this shot.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I added one light source from the left which feathers to the back of the LCD and the back of his head and another light source high above the camera to get a nice fill and to give the 2 audio speakers some highlight. And a black 'screen' to absorb some of the light to avoid reflection.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Took a couple of shots and it's done !</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why am I sharing this ? It's simple. Because I care ! I would like to learn from you too so do drop in your comments on this one. I know it isn't perfect or something a lighting yoda would do but at least it's what I wanted.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cheers and until then, take care !<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">As we know, the country might just be heading for its election much earlier than expected. Apparently, our economy is doing fantastic.

I've been fighting Canon 'all my life' and here I am having a Darth Vader-Luke Skywalker moment. A tad earlier ofcourse than poor old Vader. He had to lose his arm before he brought balance back to the force.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's extremely annoying. You've been snapping away with your current tool and editing those photos to be as good as possible, spending countless period of your life making it perfect, and suddenly came along this tool that gets the job done at that instant! It simply works for you there and then. Every time I get behind a new piece of Nikon glass, oh gawd, it gives you that hope, that one last hurrah from this leviathan to assure you that the darkside is the pathway to many powers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So it's back to the financial board. I am no longer performing liposuction on fat. I'm cutting away bone and muscle. Important stuff. This then boils down to the biggest question just before the end of 2010 which many of you would ask</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Why jump ship ?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hated the term 'jump ship'. If jumping ships was a major sin then I would have been crucified more than once.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>The History.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A long time ago ... far away in the galaxy .....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I started photography with this awkward ugly piece of thing, the Fujica SLR. It's film all right and every time you load a film in, you have to make sure you turn the ISO dial to the film's ISO that you bought. And then you look in that view finder, of course everything looks fine and dandy so you click the snap button, mirror flips and when the photos are out, they were all black.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I then played with the compact camera for most my years growing up as a teen. 4 years ago I went into those large cameras you see kids hanging around their necks today. New blings I call it. I started off with the help of a French man, Malik.B. He was kind enough to lend me his Olympus e-510 and boy I was brave. Covered an entire fashion event with the 14-42mm and 40-150mm Zuiko lenses. Results ? Wasn't that bad. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And then there was the Canon 350D and Canon 400D with the 18-55mm lens. Those cameras were huge to me at that time. I was a young boy, nearly joining Yoda on a quest with a Canon 40D. I even had the opportunity to train with an Indonesian fashion photographer using the Canon 1D series. Along the way, just like Anakin, I was tempted to join the dark side.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I bought the Nikon D300 2 years ago and it served me well. Beyond well really. Took me to places that I never thought I would be able to go and meet people that I could never imagine. Top of the line crop frame DSLR camera. What more can I ask for? They call it the ultimate DX camera from Nikon. The flagship. I told myself that I could use this camera for life. There is no need for an upgrade except buying new lenses. I was right on the lenses part but wrong on the body.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><i>The Reason.</i></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544078671977008098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh05NzMpQEpluBrBy4TNk2w0qJY9FIvfyZyjbd4xCQuWodGZ8M1DGk-VCBIfTLf9sj7JEMdWrcDb30dfWmXg4NWN6CYuhlbKRTMiEj3vlz4wbB7mcPv_EmIXSlfwk1vk5bE2BO7YKPA_LlH/s400/cartoonSmall_fas+copy.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 335px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 350px;" /></span></div><div>It is basic finance calculations. My main objective is to move to the full frame zone as the assignments I receive today are much more demanding and it gets more demanding from month to month. I need something that could reduce, significantly, my time spent on editing those photographs. Full frame is the answer and it is easier on the pocket to jump ship rather than to go for Nikon FX.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">(I spent many sleepless night working on the finances)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It appears that I will most likely return to the force. The simple truth ? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you're a Canon user, you will jump to Nikon. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you're a Nikon user, you will jump to Canon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I do have to sacrifice a number of technologies once I join Yoda. (You know how it is in the Jedi, you can't use this, you can't use that). I suppose I will be missing the following;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li>51 AF points + 3D tracking.</li>
<li>Grid lines and horizon.</li>
<li>Built-in CA management.</li>
<li>Ability to cap auto ISO.</li>
<li>Every other colour except red.</li>
<li>Nikon CLS System.</li>
</ul></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And this battle that begun long before the war in the middle east will never cease until one of them decides to join the agriculture industry. Therefore I now present to you my lovely set, the set that took me to Japan, the set that took photos which appeared in various magazines across the world, the set that help me make new friends and the set that brought my photography to a whole new level,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I bump into him at Sunway Pyramid, talked to him, shook his hand and forgot to take a photo. Another photo opportunity gone. I was also afraid of his >6 foot bodyguard. Anyway, some of the best and sharpest shots of him performing were from last year. I do not intend to repeat my shots therefore these few photos are from a different angle. </div><div><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih8o7OIfWmbSl2mAyKlkGHzXllo_2w-6f-ZOBh8yjlt9IJhMRNLC-Fgc5ywA2ulHK4BnvTqeoFXf0PDg3pe-0T2j4eDPWT0_N9Wg6uoCVofkafysdoyywD7l8SuG0wDEkhHpDKpSTwkXMH/s800/SIM_1802+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525365902442468850" style="cursor: pointer;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAnLAs3f8WqA4agEnKM7MzOddJSxdBSJ557E4Oa7IA42kEUJGt1LRgXP5wRrx7amm4-JY8XfB0Ado4j19Pt8C0wYEoef0veIw57nDAir94cA8qU_8MCerILwonpLn52XfXKcx3MEvtJk_8/s800/SIM_1808+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525365906124242754" style="cursor: pointer;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-2YghdbqHdsEqzOiAxh9OoWiRot7v7hf1vUD1mS6T_HYQ1YLK1oXl85xV4cAgssp6ezJL6FecTn-usk34hj49d2qxseGQgDApnJMpcSfU2MwW_oCErN3NugWwNHLLpC9_5eKYPXAwPFWX/s800/SIM_1846+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525365929193412114" style="cursor: pointer;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0f3qrhny4Tiw__s06yHEZHHVDoRaeNKddQME0dSkzzFItpoMPrhVWUAzmm93dgfAVOtDlsKlgTWfRVYiHm79yo2vrkzlSI18ydDXqW8bSI9vjZdJrRJXvj0P55qFhKMwTecP-1S7Xb0Ew/s800/SIM_1826+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525365919484582146" style="cursor: pointer;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><i>" I've been trying to move my music photography to shots that showed more emotions.

<br />
<br />I've got nothing much to say but the fact that YZ International artistes - PopShuvit, Mizz Nina, Thaitanium and DJ Fuzz were owning the stage. Thanks to YZ International for the invitation.
<br />
<br />The road to Sunway was jammed up for miles and I was stuck on the highway for almost 2 hours. Tickets were sold out for the celebration that Friday night. While I was circling Pyramid Tower Hotel looking for a parking spot, I heard PopShuvit's intro. By the time I found a spot and made my way to the stage, I only manage to catch the final minutes of Mizz Nina's performance with Colby. Here are some of the photos of Mizz Nina's performance with Colby and Colby's solo performance after that.

I suppose it wasn't the season, or perhaps the environment has just gone worse. Dark clouds were moving over to the area. I could only manage one shot which right after, the rain started pouring. It's not everyday that I could see something like this.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is one of the best sunset photos I've ever taken in Malaysia. I've been on a few road trips but I think nothing I have quite beats this one. Perhaps I might find better scenic photos from the islands on the east coasts. Truth be told, I've yet to visit the islands off the east coasts ! But as far as it stands, I love how the colour shifts from dark blue to purple and orange across the sky. Sometimes we just need to stop what we're doing and take a look outside and appreciate mother nature. Do you think it should be a limited edition print ? Would love to hear your opinion on this one.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

This is definitely going to be a limited edition print so keep watch on the 'Large Print' page. However, if you can't wait to get your hands on this one, drop me an email. I'll be more than happy to reply your enquiries.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499680718445883779.post-83224089087141911012010-08-30T12:55:00.006+08:002010-08-30T13:17:05.359+08:00Ladies Love This Place - Shibuya, Tokyo<div style="text-align: center;"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO1-TWofZBHqOZ-kcLKDQ0oDB3Vh2wRENhtJXQu0hz57WTlZxHd-1T0iiV24w-zR2y0p61TKt-s4FA9EM6zblmuuvEv2Er0JUl6rXol5X9o4ngUYGYJg94TZBn6qseK_ecR48OVBhYtJ7A/s800/SIM_0892+post.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511063279145750994" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">" Shibuya 109 - Probably one of the best place in the world for ladies to go shopping. The building is operated by Tokyu as a 'Fashion Community' with small retail stores targeting early 30s female. The 109 basically stands for 'To' which is 10 and Kyu which is 9 in Japanese. Pretty much means Tokyu. There are over 5 floors of women retail stores. 5 because I accidentally went in there last year and it took me 5 floors to realise that this is an all women department store. These days, retail stores cater to even teens in their early 20s from the <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyaru">gyaru</a></i> subculture.
