About this blog

My blog is the story of my life - a living diary. If it happens, I blog it. And make it as entertaining as possible. My lousy grammar is lousy, hope it's not too much of an annoyance to you.

Bye bye prosumer hello DSLR

To me, result matters a lot more than the technical specification and I’m glad it performed! Oh, I was talking about the Canon EOS 450D I bought today.

:D

It’s an obvious upgrade, obviously. The speedy-procedure alone could make me high for years - I used to spend a full minute or two trying to get the focus right and what not with S2IS, now it’s just literally a few flicks and I get to hit 3 good shots in a second.

Here’s another example what S2IS can’t do.

Bye bye prosumer hello DSLR

An actual photo of a basketball game going on, after 7pm! Amazing! I mean, S2IS can never get this kind of sport shot when it’s dark even with flash, especially after 6.30pm. I never went for any night games to take photos because I can’t take photos with S2IS at night. Now I can. Hehe.

So now, my S2IS is officially partially-retired. I’ll still use it when I need some serious zooming power. Only have kit lens for 450D now. More photos from 450D (mostly candid):

Bye bye prosumer hello DSLR

Very hazy today, as you can see from the last photo, so nothing great produced today. Still I’m happy what this puppy can do. Can’t wait to find a superb subject!

Canon EOS 450D with kit lens or Canon Powershot S2 IS complete set of lenses?

with one comment

Dilemma. Why can’t they both perform the same to save me trouble deciding which to get?

The roads not taken

Terible cliche for a post title. I know, I know.

One day, one room

Echo is another colleague of mine in AMM. We were having lunch in office’s pantry. I took this candid portrait when she was teased, something about having chili on her hair. I had to bump up the ISO to get a less blurry shot, so the noise is kind of high.
