Big planes and oversized trucks…

SOSAM recently had the chance to visit the Penang International Airport.

How was it? NOT as fun as I expected but quite interesting. At least it’s better than getting your hands dirty, as an addition, it’s quite informative too. Disappointing at the same time we didn’t get to go to the big control tower…:(

The best is always the last isn’t it? We had a chance to ride on one of those huge and expensive fire trucks.

TA~DA…

Fire trucks which costs them around 3 million each…even the tyres cost 15k each…wow…(how many D3x and D3s are there??)

Hey you better bet on these guys you know…they’re the ones that will keep your asses kicking when your planes catch fire…

From the smaller watch tower at the AFRS a.k.a Airport Fire Rescue System.

Woo check out those buttons…NOT as many buttons as expected…but there were four phones???

and a big red one…*like that red phone you see in Powerpuff girls, where the mayor would use to call the girls*

the firetrucks demonstrating their upper turret and bumper turret? a.k.a shooting water…

An Air Asia plane taxing, waiting for clearance to take off…

Before taking off, the pilot would communicate with the control tower and all you would hear in their conversations are things like alpha bravo charlie delta echo foxtrot golf hotel bla bla bla and whole lot of alien numbers…

At 200mm focal length(above) vs 55mm focal length(below)… woo taken from same distance…

This plane just landed…

What’s a trip without a group photo. :)

Well…the next time you take a flight…remember that these are the guys that will be watching you…LOL well for safety reasons i mean…

Of clouds and skies

Wheee……took some time going through my pictures.

Among 15103 pictures…here’s some of the skies that I’ve taken.

Ta-da…Penang Bridge…

Ta-da…dunno where is this place…

Somewhere along the highway…my bro took this one…I was driving…and I hated it…

Some fine day in my backyard…

Oh, above was taken during Theresa’s birthday at Bayview Beach…

This was again some random night…no clouds very shiok lorr…

again somewhere along the highway.

Right: just exited the toll heading into Kuala Kangsar…

Another random sunset photo along the highway.

Boomz my toys

Oh ok…this is not a huge post of ALL my toys…

Just one of my most ‘pattern-ful’ toy at home…

Whee…

My optimus prime again…

  

Got a new Phottix Aster last Friday. Excited…

It’s quite good for eliminating stupid background shadows and at the same time don’t want to overexpose the foreground…

you know…pop up flash…commander thingy?

OK I know the words at the background looks really weird isn’t it. But it’s just nice for taking pictures. All you need is an old styrofoam container…of course a big one…

Boomzzz…ok next…

Another year gone by…

I remember it was always around this time of the year. Yea, Theresa’s birthday…

Always so special and pattern-ful. I have to say since like F4? I’ve been to her birthday party but I seldom manage to get the location right.

It was just last year that we were talking about buying DSLRs and stuff. And today…we have 4 DSLRs in our group already. wow…

Anyway…just a quick update.

Location this year: Bayview Beach. Time: Late evening.

The beach… 

Ta~da group photo 1st.

Eric the cyborg…*brzinkkk…scanning…*

weeehe~he~he~he…look I’m full of sand…

 

Right: bikini bottom with crocs nipples.

Wohoo…Theresa got her wish…she now has a C cup.

Whee…

Boomz…

The girls posing…

Question 1. What is the sense of belonging in the picture above.

I have no freaking idea what was this for…

 

the four crazy girls…pick one…

Ok…after this…battery habis…WTF!

Happy birthday Theresa…:)

Of Birds and Bees?

Owning a 55-200mm is just great.

Doing nature shots with this was very, extremely fun indeed.

with focal length of 200mm? you could stand far away enough, well so that you won’t scare those animals away. HAHA, isn’t it?

Look, you see there’s a heart shape.

Butterfly with two heads…? DUHH, Camouflage…LOL

OK, another way to edit your pictures instead of tweaking those mind boggling, meaningless numbers, graphs and all sorts of somehow useful but seem useless things to you, is to simply copy your picture into Photoshop. Click ctrl-J on your background image, and select overlay blending for that copy, Voila there you have it, well saturated, high contrast or whatever the crap people call them(well I don’t care as long as the pictures are great.)

Someone said this butterfly looked like an owl?? Hmmmm…….I guess it does.

A house with a backyard or garden is really syok betul. There’s so many things that you can photograph. Lots of weird looking fauna and stuff…LOL

LOL, the bird looks very behshiok-ing. You see somore it shakes its butt butt…

HAHA, the hibiscus also very emo.

Yup, that’s just another typical morning for the animals and insects and plants in my backyard.

I swear, NO zombies here.
