Model : Waterlily

Here are some pretty pics on some of the model in pc fair 2009 held in klcc. This will be my last events shots for year 2009. enjoy...

Recently a fren of mine open a studio. invited us for a photoshoot session...It was my first attempt at low key photography... :P

The stage


Preparing party gadgets...




Went to Bt Jalil Star Live Concert. The moment of truth came. I would like to see how Olympus Ep1 + Zuiko Digital 70-300 perform in a concert like this. The setup is pretty much mobile. I put Ep1 in one of my pocket and ZD 70-300 in another..Flawless!!

I was standing very far from the stage. with the usual kit lens 14-42 there is no way i can take a pic of my fav singer. But with 70-300 it can make the difference.

Focusing is ok. fast enough for me to capture the action. Low light? surprisingly not an issue.


Kelly Chen doing one of the dance routine.

The setting for EP-1

I was using manual mode. Shutter speed around 1/300 and fx x= watever fastest speed i have. metering = spot iso = 1600

i send in my unit to Olympus Malaysia to change the PCB on the HLD 4. However upon receiving back this unit from Olympus Malaysia. I was shocked to see the screw at the bottom look rusty! I was told that my sweaty hand will cause this but i am sure the screw is not in this condition when i send my unit in. And i am shocked that the screw from HLD4 can rust so easily? Isn;t it supose to be weatherseal unit and i expect some sort of quality to the product.

Take a look at the screw here:-

Mr Leong agree to order the screw for me and i know the rusty screw is very subjective and hard to argue. I am beginning to wonder how much such screw cost? would it be simpler if you guys just replace the screw and charge me. I will be willing to pay for it. Furthermore if Olympus Malaysia is generous to organize event such as the EP2 gathering in Selangor Pewter, i cant see why a few screw cant be taken care of..

The gap and scratch mark leave behind when the technician ply open the hld4 is simply can't be ignorable.
The gap is big enough for water drips or moisture to sip in and my question is whether my unit is still weather seal after this service? I am not sure the proper tool is being used or not when they open up the hld 4. Such big gap should not be present in a so call weather seal battery grip unit.

look at the gap and scratch mark leave behind sharp object when the hld4 is being open.

The new movie Storm Warrior II a sequel from Storm Raider can be consider the worst movie in year 2009. The worst part is it try to copy the combat scene from the movie 300 (spartan) Story line is dull..fightning scene is boring.. arghhh really spoil my mood. Should have spend money on other movie...
