Joyce’s Photoblog

4.00AM, tripod-less, 100 ISO, 2 seconds shutter speed, 3.5 aperture, 18mm, and one final result.

Translation -> It’s really hard to hold a camera totally still for 2 seconds long without any support when it’s 4 in the morning and you’re sleep deprived, but I nailed an okay-shot after a dozen tries and I’m very happy about it.

p.s. I was in office, working.

Yet another busy casual-outfit Friday.

We monitor medias in all languages in Asia Media Monitor, and I’m in the press team (magazines and newspapers). It’s a heaven! Chinese publication alone we have at least 6 sets of newspapers. Imagine the amount of articles I go through everyday. Imagine the amount of work by photojournalists from different places I get to see everyday. Hectic, but really fun for me. Does it make sense?

Never thought I’ll miss her, that much.

If you’re wondering where your comments in the previous post went, it’s probably in the recycle bin because it contained too much hate. Feel free to continue the discussion with your buddy anywhere else you want to.

I deleted a very unpleasant comment in my blog. Someone called me less than a noob and useless in photography, I removed it because it had a lot of foul words.

I don’t care, actually. No, really, I don’t.

*a don’t-care face*

Here’s a photo of KL Tower I took not very long ago.

Okay, I do care. Just not enough to make me lose some sleep over it.

Dear matt-something, I won’t say your full name and bash you openly because I’m a kind person, even though you are a snob who can’t accept the fact that I get more praises than you did in major photography forums. All you have is technical know how like pinpointing exactly why one camera is better than another. Camera specification wise the photos you took are nice, but the only message they sent was - like many established professionals told you in forums before - you should had invested more money in photography lessons than gears.

Photography is subjective most of the time, which is why I never really bothered trying to compare who is a better photographer. Grow up, you’ll see my point, and you might just learn how to take better photos too.

I’m still not comfortable with the new zooming range - or rather, the new lack-of-zooming range - of the kit lens. Here’s a couple try with landscapes, trying to get more familiar with it.
