Nothing going on.
Just been busy with work.
But a dilemma with regards to lenses came about
24-105mm f4 IS vs 24-70mm f2.8.
I guess I decided more on the 24-105mm against the 24-70mm.
1) Longer Reach
2) Indoor can be coupled with flash so a extra stop from 24-70mm doesn't matter
3) 24-105mm has IS giving me extra 2 stops
4) 24-105mm is lighter and smaller
So it seems its the 24-105mm f/4 IS L lens =p

LOMO Lubitel 166+ Camera
Details can be found here
Lubitel 166+
Cool Retro camera.
Quoting from the site
'Shooting with the Lubitel+ is different than anything you have shot before. The combination of its glass lenses, the flexible 120 or 35mm format, fully manual everything, fully automatic nothing, peering into a waist-level finder, slowing things down with focusing and dialing in the correct exposure settings, and a myriad of other analog factors make it a full-bodied experience that activates all of your senses and brings you into a special and very intimate place."
At about 350USD, not a bad price. A good alternative to the hassleband =p

2nd Wedding Project
Completed my second wedding project.
All pictures are mostly taken with the Canon 50mm F1.4 sometimes with flash but mostly without.
I really love the 50mm f1.4. Main focus was mainly people. Pretty happy with most pictures and I consciencely check to make sure that the depth of view was good as much as possible. Most are pretty good.
Slight editing and some changes to the temperature, didn't really like too much yellow, so opt for a more balance tone for the pictures.
All pictures are posted on fickr...couldn't resist leaving my camera hanging there..hahaha

Panasonic DMC-LX3
DMC LX3 Compact SLR.
A not so new Panasonic camera that got my attention.
The function of a SLR but a miniture size.
Tempted to get it because of portability and can be used in situation when carry a SLR can be a pain =)
Pretty good specs and has a fast lens since it is using Leica Len with max aperture of F2.0 to min aperture of f2.8.
Should work pretty well indoor conditions.
So it can give the old Canon G9 a run for its money. As for the up and coming G10 with Digi4 processor, I still think in terms of size, function and cost LX3 wins hands down....
Tempting but with the downturn of the economy, I better tighten my purse string....=p

Updating will be suspended temporarily
I will be busy for the next 1.5months, so I guess I wouldn't have time to update the site.
But found out something interesting about 1st curtain and 2nd curtain. It DSLR way of doing double exposure. It's worth a try to get rather interesting effect.
Basically, using long exposure. 1st curtain if you want to capture the initial subject and then subsequently the motion. 2nd curtain if you want to capture the motion and then subsequently the subject.
This is a better explaination.
Front Curtain Sync
Generally, the flash sync fires at the instant the front curtain has fully opened. This is called front curtain sync, and it is used where it is desired that the flash freeze motion at the beginning of the exposure. Front curtain sync is adequate for most flash-photography. When making long exposures while also firing a flash, front curtain sync creates an effect where any motion blur - from ambient light - appears ahead of the subject, i.e. it appears to leave the subject behind. In the case of a moving motor vehicle in a night scene, for example, this can create an unrealistic effect since its headlamp and tail-lamp trails will extend out in front of it
Rear Curtain Sync
Some cameras offer the ability to fire the flash at just before the second curtain closes. This is called rear (or second) curtain sync, and it is used to freeze motion at the end of the exposure. When making long exposures while firing a flash, rear curtain sync creates the effect of motion blur trailing the main subject.
