What did i do on the 1st weekend of 2009. Not bad lar, very productive day…
Let the photo tell the stories from 6am till 12am, after that i’m totally Knocked out with my lights bedroom on.

Woke up early morning.. Waiting for Edgar come to my place and then in 1 car we head to Jefferi’s Territory.
After waiting for him 5mins.. I drive all the way to

Tamparuli………. for the first time.

Tamparuli Lost Colonial Shoplot.

I went there for my Anima Portrait shots. Joan and her sis volunteered to become soul-less for 5 mins.
Once again, thanks to them.
Nanti saya hantar to gambar.. My laptop is a mess now, load my cs4 always not responding.

That’s me.. Edgar is the flash man. Pics courtesy from Jefferi without his permission. Sorry Jeff!!

After the shoot, lepak and have breakfast somewhere there.

We talk and discuss nonstop until we forgot the time.

I think we head back to KK around 1pm. Since 3 of us are ex-La Sallian.
We decide to stop by there and refresh our mind.
It bring back lots of memories indeed, especially Senior Block.

Junior Block change allot!!

Senior block remains the same but too much propaganda. Feels like Im in the Nazi’s Territory bah.

Once a La Sallian, Always a La Sallian.

After visits our ex-High School head to Jeff’s Territory minum2 and we saw Papa Joneh with his family.

In the evening, Edgar hang out at my place for a while. Later that, he decide to bring Ki-Chan to Citymall for Hainanese Chicken Chop.

After Hainanese Chicken Chop. Edgar found out that the whole CSP geng playing Left 4 Dead at Citymall’s Arena.
So we join them and create a team name that have GG infront or back of our name. hahahaha

Left 4 Dead Infectorzzzzzz…

Basically you can hear everyones shout “TANKER!!” or “SMOKER!!!” or “HUNTER!!” or “^@&(&@*#(&@!! TOLONG UI!!” when someone play Left 4 Dead because the game is so exciting and makes you wanna shout lar.

Basically, That’s how i spent my 1st weekend of 2009.

So if anyone are interested to volunteer themself for my Anime Portrait.
You can contact me by email at flaneganb[at]gmail.com

Konnichiwa, Boku no namae wa Kuro Toro desu. Canon gara utsukuru.
Hello, My name is Black Totoro, made from Canon.

Nihon de umare desu.
Born in Japan.

3nisen wa hikouki de touchiakusuru Kota Kinabalu desu.
I arrived Kota Kinabalu 3 days ago.

Ima-kara, kono Collage of Life to Flaneganb.net no mi desu.
From now on, I’ll be the eyes of Collage of Life’s Flaneganb.net.

Dozo Yoroshiku Onegai-shimasu.
Please treat me well.

Kuro Toro a.k.a Black Totoro.

What Can I say about 5D Mark 2. I can say this camera is one of those camera will change the world of Digital Photography and also maybe world of DSLR. I call it the Ultimate Dynamite Camera (random one). I can’t compare my 350D with 5D Mark2 because 350D will still be my baby. All my requirement goes to 5DMII.

Although is not a complete set for me cos i need to get myself an extra battery, a battery grip and also cable release for KuroToro.

21megapixels DSLR equivalent to :
- 5616 x 3744 resolution
- 18.72 x 12.48inch
- 47.55 x 31.70cm

Size of A2 paper, If you know how to upscale smoothly to A1 pun boleh with borders.

ISO wise. 100 times better than my 350D, I don’t need to think about noise anymore cos i can pump up the iso too 3200. ISO6400 is still acceptable equivalent to 350D’s ISO800.
The Highest ISO for 5DMII is ISO25600 or known as H2 in the camera. Itu memang rusak lar, the noise almost looks like 350D’s ISO1600.

About the sensor….. 5DMII is full frame. The 350D pula Frame Separuh only.

You can see the differents here. (kamu tau suda bah kan but still i want to show.

This is Canon EOS 350D Half Frame Sensor on 17-40mm F4 Lens.

and

This is Canon EOS 5D Mark II Full Frame Sensor on 17-40mm F4 Lens.

What a Huge Different.

Dial Function have 5 extra dial beside the M, Av, Tv, Auto & P.
3 Customize Function (C1, C2 and C3), 1 Creative Auto (or known as CA) and Bulb Function.

The Customize Function really makes my finger easier because you can save the setting for future use, for example :
C1 : I want ISO800 for shooting indoor with less light, Activate Lighting Optimizer.
C2 : ISO100 and Bracketing for shooting HDR.
C3 : ISO200, set the Shutter speed and aperture to 1/60 at F5.6 and also set my flash guns to ETTL +1 brightness.

You get what i mean? So when i want to shoot HDR scene i just dial it to C2. Everything kao-tim in less than 1 secs.

Awesome thing about this DSLR is you can record a HD Video or just a normal video size with all kind of EF lenses.

10secs Test video on HD Mode.

The size of 10 secs HD is around 45mb. So if you have 1gb, 2gb and 4gb CF card. It will only last like 6mins in 2gb CF card.
That’s mean i have to get bigger than that lar. Ngai tiao betul.

The Dynamic Range in 5DMII is quite wide than my 350D, that’s mean i have to change my editting habit a lil bit because of the Dynamic Range. But no worries, everything is gonna be alrite.

And last one, before i stop talking crap again.

5DMII will help you to reduce the vignette of your image in the camera because they have the function called ‘Peripheral Illumination Correction’.
Just switch it on, you’ll see less vignette on the edge of your camera.
Well for me, I’ll switch it off because i love baby vignette.

Alrighty, that’s all about my crappy review for the first time.

Before i want to press the Publish button.
Let me upload a few pics i’ve taken with my 5DMII.

The Title for this Photo Series is Familiar Places :

My Bedroom

Computer Living Room.

Entrance to the love shack.

The Balcony Store.

Alright, That’s all from me.
Have a wonderful day & Happy New Year 2009.

I never set my own resolution every end of the year because… to be honest, I never plan everything lar.
But for 2009, I try to set my own resolution just for fun.
Since I ain’t got nothing to do since my CPU’s MSN Messenger Screwed me up.

This is my New Year’s Resolution for 2009 :

1. Graduate smoothly and attend my graduation with happy smile.
2. Complete my Anima Portraiture Series… I’m aiming for like 20-30images but I try to extend till 200 images, hope to complete in 2011.
3. Before Graduate, I must find a Job with any press agency no matter where are they gonna send me. I’m ready for an adventure work!
4. Own an awesome Camera Backpack.. Big one like my size. maybe bag from Think Tank Photo.
5. Get myself a Nintendo DSi International Version.
6. Extra Flash Gun & 4 Channel Transmitter and Receiver.
7. New Pair of Jeans, My current Jeans (the only jeans) one of the pocket koyak suda.
8. New Tech stuff.. Maybe New Laptop that have a Video Card GPU can support Photoshop CS4 new function & support HD resolution.
9. Stay Healthy and explore the world (not travelling) by understanding all kind of Human Being to be a better man.

Yup.. That’s my 2009 resolution.
