My Masterpiece

I love photography. Here are some of my shots which I consider as 'well done'. 

Well, I am not quite a pro yet though, but I think these are quite good.

1. Sydney Harbour Bridge

Taken in Sydney, one fine summer night. No further image editing. 

Camera Canon EOS 1000 D, lens: 18-55 mm f 3.5-5.6 Canon lens

f-stop: f/10

focal length: 20 mm

exp. time: 20 sec

ISO: 100

This is my favourite shot. I love this place, I love the colour, composition, and lighting

Counting down NYE 2011 in Sydney-The longest 16.5 hours in my life

This is probably one of the most ridiculous thing I've ever done in my life

For the sake of New Year's Eve fireworks in one of the most iconic place in the world, I spent more than a half day waiting.....

31 Dec 2010

07.00 am : me and a bunch of friends caught a bus from Newtown, heading to Macquarie's Point. I know that place is the most wanted NYE spot, so we better be hurry up

The streets were quiet that morning though..., not so many vehicles or people around, so I thought we must be quite early :p

7.30 am : arrive at Art Gallery road, oh my gosh...., there are hundreds, and I guess almost a thousand of people already queuing :(. Geez, what time did they get there? I bet they spent overnight, and slept there. We joined the queue which already overflowed in the park nearby

7.30 - 10.00 am : queuing in the park, playing some board games with friends, eating, and people watching, just for killing the time.

10.00 am : the gate was finally open, and we started moving...yaaaayyy...., but it's still a long way to go to the spot.

Jalan-jalan ke negeri Kiwi

Last week gw sempet jalan2 ke negara tetangga, NZ, puji Tuhan...it's all by His grace. He gave more than I expected. dulu cuman minta ke Oz, dikasih bonusnya ke NZ. I spent 9 days disana, bareng temen-temen gw Cecil, Mei, Adit.

Day 1 : nyampe di Christchurch Airport, jalan2 di Christchurch. Bekas-bekas gempanya dah gak keliatan. kota ini kota kecil yg sangat asri. kalo seneng tinggal di kota kecil, CHC ini tempat yg ok lah.

pas pertama nyampe di CHC airport, jelas poto2, hehe. trus naik taksi, sopirnya cewek bo..., ibu2 yg cukup ramah dan berasa jadi tour guide singkat kami menuju motel. Pas udah nyampe motel, we're happy to unpack our luggage. cihuuuyyy....we're in NZ finally :).

trus habis itu keluar motel cari makan, maaakk....baru jm 5 sore dan jalanan udah sepi. terpaksa kami jalan ke city centre nya nyari mal (teteepp..).

city centrenya namanya Cathedral square. kenapa dinamai itu? ya karena ada cathedralnya spt gambar di samping, hehe. yah, Day 1 cuman muter2 Christchurch, dan cari oleh2 tentunya, keluar masuk toko.

Day 2 : Edoras Tour

Whoohoooo, sebagai fans berat Lord of The Rings we're so excited about this tour. Dan emang worth it lah. Tour guide kami baek dan lucu, namanya Paul. kami dijemput dari CHC naek 4 WD. pemandangannya selama perjalanan kereeen bo...., trus pas nyampe di Mt. Sundays (lokasi syuting Edoras), pemandangannya jg kereeen. gak salah emang tempat itu dijadiin lokasi syuting buat Edoras, yg katanya emang memenuhi 4 deskripsi Edoras spt yg ada di bukunya Tolkien.
