I’ve decided to switch over to Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ7 compact camera instead of getting a brand new Canon compact camera. Panasonic Lumix range has some very good features lately and I noticed…

At first it happened to my brother-in-law’s Canon EOS 40D DSLR camera, and then now it was my Canon EOS 30D DSLR shutter button that was not working. The Canon shutter button problem is…

Its quite a tiring job but when the photos comes up well its satisfaction. So now its time to rest while vic rush for wedding photos slideshow for tonite wedding dinner. After that he'll just knock off for the day.
Getting there was quite tough too having to clamber about the fence because none of want to get our shoes wet!

Getting there was tough. First the traffic jam, then a little commando walking in something that looked like a DMZ before reaching open ground.
Everybody waiting in anticipation. Slight drizzle here. Would they give the green light for go?
Whoa! DSLR enthusiast coming out in full force with telephoto lens!
Our very own jet as opener, a single RMAF Sukhoi Mig-29.

Next up, the USAF F-16 Thunderbirds roaring by!
After a roaring ride up, the contrast is very apparent. Peace and traquility.
All six of them! USAF Thunderbirds in formation.

Too bad I couldn’t get any clearer pictures of USAF -F16 Thunderbirds or the RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM. Should have figured out the settings much earlier on taking clearer pictures of fast moving object from a distance.
In addition, the light drizzle caused a lot of speck on my lens. The commando like climbing plus taking pictures through the fence also scratched my Polarising Filter. I also shouldn’t be too ambitious trying to capture still photos and videos at the same time. In the end, both also not very satisfying.
A basic photography lesson learned from the air show outing. Hopefully can get better pictures next time though I won’t know when any other air force would drop by for an aerial display. Anyway, live and learn.

This wasn’t a chance to be missed! USAF F-16 Thunderbirds are coming to Kuala Lumpur for an aerial display, plus of course our very own local Malaysian RMAF Sukhoi jet in the opening act! So it was a must see!
Despite the traffic jam leading to the airbase plus I didn’t know where exactly is the entrance to the Subang airbase did give me some trouble to get there in the morning. Idil said I should go there early in the morning at 6am! Brrr… I still want my sleep! So I took my time getting there and left about 9am in the morning. The air show was slated to start at around 10:30am but the crowd has already gone on ahead early and I was stuck in a crawl with the latecomers. Halfway through, I decided to stop at BHP petrol station for a break. Met guy there who was wondering why there was a massive traffic jam in the early Saturday morning. So I told him about the air show. This was one of tha “Ah…” moment when he realized what caused the bad traffic jam. (more…)
Put yr face there? How about no face? Looked kinda surreal with the background as the face!
