Living life at its best

A geek's journal on things that did not matter the most.

Time sure flies fast :-)

Wednesday, September 19, 2007

It's already been 6 months when he first came into our life. It just felt like yesterday. Time sure flies fast. Daddy's and Mommy's addiction :-)

All covered up!

I just need something to bite

Hello Daddy!

Just a note: These 2 pictures below are processed using the unconventional way of portrait, which is HDR and Orton. (and my wife would probably dislike it hehe) :-)

Hmmm Interesting - Using Single RAW HDR

Hooded - with a pinch of Orton Effect

Don't you just love kids... I know I do, as with my wife :-)

Center of the universe

Thursday, May 31, 2007

What else is there to say when you have a new born kid. He is the center of our universe now :)


Relaxing on Grandpa's lap

Dad, can we go home now? I am sleepy...

I've not been taking pictures lately due to the busyness of life but next week will be different. I've got an engagement and a wedding to cover. Apologies for the lack of updates.

Been busy...

Tuesday, May 01, 2007

I've been busy lately.. Work and family. Though I still can squeeze a tad bit of my time taking pictures... just barely *sigh* Let me recap - 2 weeks back I decided to hang out with Ipin at KLCC. Been quite sometime since I've been there. So met him and we went hunting for a bag that fits a camera, a few lense and a laptop. Well actually Ipin is the one hunting, me.. I'm just being a busy body :)

Since it was raining we decided to take a break and have some caffeine at the indoor Starbuck. Ipin didn't find the bag that he wanted. Thinking that the rain would spoil the sunset over at KLCC, we stayed indoor until 7PM. Ohh boyyy!! Did we made a mistake. The sunset was beautiful and we missed the golden moment! But all is not lost - at least. Hurried to Asy-Syakirin mosque and I decided to re-take a shot from the same angle I previously took. Perfect! Ipin had to leave early to continue his search for the bag.

Ohh yeah, did I mentioned he's going back packing to Europe? Well he did. And still in Europe at this point of writing.

KLCC Dusk in HDR

Asides from that, it's work, and going home watching the baby grows up. He's almost 2 months now and the jaundice has gone - Thank you to sensei's medicine.

My son growing on strong

Today, I just had to come early to work since I was involve in a project and had to schedule for a product upgrade/enhancement with the vendor. Long story cut short - Postponed. But before I reached the office, the sun was giving that "Golden Hour" hour again. It seems, if it rained earlier in the evening and stopped around 6PM, the sun would give that look - you know the "Golden Hour" look. But I was a bit unlucky, yet again, and only manage to capture a glimpse of it. Turned out to be a gloomy dusk in Gotham City. Only thing missing was Batman hehehe..

Gotham, I mean Sunway - Gloomy mood in HDR

Update:
Just finished processing this morning shot and converting it to HDR. I think I need to scout for better place. I'm running out of cool places to catch sunrise/sunset and still make it back home on time.

Sunrise on Labour Day.

Anyway, there's been quite a number of requests from friends that I publish a simple How-To on HDR imaging. Well, it's getting there. At the final stages of my little tutorial on my HDR processing. Should be ready by end of this week :)
(Sabar yek Ab4h!)

Uhmm I'm signing off now.. 3G connection is not that good today *sigh*x2

I am so...

Sunday, April 01, 2007

... addicted to my son now. Guess this is what fathers around the world feel like. Can't imagine why there are inhuman humans that abandoned their offspring... You and mommy completes me, myself and I :) Sigh.. I'm working now and I'm already miss him and mommy.

Sun bathing: He has a slight jaundice and it's my job to take him for a short sun bathing :)

The world through his eyes

Innocence.

This month I am picking up my photography actively. The EOS 400D is just sitting there on my table at my house. Will make arrangements with the guys for some photog outing later this month. (Ab4h: are you going for arial photography this month? I would like to join. Sorry for not being able to join you that day.. appreciate the invite!) Sometime this week or next week, I'm gonna get myself an ultra wide angle lense for my 400D. Have not decided on getting the
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM or the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM. If any of you have a suggestion, do tell me. I love doing landscapes in HDR, so an ultra wide angle lense is a must for me.

I'm really living my life at its best

Monday, March 19, 2007

No words can describe how good my life is now. No sentence can describe the joy and happiness I now feel. I am now a proud father of adorable baby boy. He came into our life at 4:14PM, 15th March, 2007 in SJMC, Subang Jaya. My wife is doing fine, though she is still recuperating from the labor at my in-laws. What can I say except I thank God for all the great things in life, my life especially. 2007 is a great year for me. To all who came and visit, and also sending best regards and wishes - I treasure them, and will forever appreciate it. I want to take the opportunity to say Thank You all!

Daddy's boy - 1 day old. I love you so much!

Daddy's boy sleeping.

My priceless treasure. Nothing compares to you and mommy.

Life begins on a new path for me, and it is all for the best.

P/s: Thanks to LV and Nina for visiting us :)
