Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive

Having switched over to using digital SLR photography, the amount of storage space required for storing and backing up RAW files jumped up tremendously! I had considered various options for data backup, but in the end settled on using the bulkier Western Digital My Book external hard drive instead. (more…)

Switching to a Digital SLR Camera for photography

» Photography — Tags: , , — Jan

Using a Digital SLR is very different from using a compact camera. It is far more complicated to use with its myriad settings and accessories. And it is definitely not cheap! Getting the body was the first step to building a suitable camera system.

My Canon EOS 30D DSLR

» Photography — Tags: , , — Jan

So finally, I got myself a DSLR – Canon EOS 30D. Victor has been pestering me for some time to get one because we are planning to embark on shooting wedding reception photos. You may call it a part time home based business; after all you don’t really need an office to shoot wedding reception events.

Out with the old, in with the new. I may have lost my Panasonic Lumix camera to the pickpocketer, and with it my Hanoi photos together with it. Disappointed, yes, but life goes on and now I get to play with a brand new Canon Powershot A720IS digital camera.

Sob! I lost my old faithful Panasonic Lumix camera in Hanoi...I really needed a camera to take photos for memories, for photography and for blogging too. Without a camera, I seemed rather handicapped. So last Friday after work, I dropped by 1-Utama shopping mall to scout around for a replacement.

Cloth sold in the cloth shopAfter attending to a friend’s daughter wedding one Saturday a few weeks back, my wife and in-laws decided to make a visit to a cloth shop in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Well, I wasn’t too pleased to go downtown on a Saturday afternoon as the traffic is really heavy. After a long drawn out ride we managed to get a parking lot nearby to the shop they intend to select the cloth. (more…)

Playground/Park @ Section 14, Petaling Jaya.If I see an interesting view, take a picture! I should be carrying a proper digital camera then, ha! Yeah, yeah, sure the digital cameras are getting smaller and easier to carry by the day. But the one I bought, the Lumix DMC-LZ2, though small, is still not that small to carry around. I like it because of its 6x optical zoom. (more…)
