DCIM 2010

Me with Derrick and Kurt

Master Kurt during a hands-on session at the EOS interactive booth at DCIM 2010

One of the highlights at the DCIM 2010 show which was held recently at the Mid Valley Megamall was a talk on Macro Photography by Kurt G.After leaving Bukit Nenas, Derrick, my macro outing buddy and I decided to head over to the mall and attend the show.This is also one of the most popular consumer trade show where photography enthusiasts can try out the latest hardware and also use their skills and talent to capture some models from the DCIM Velocity Angels show.Some hot chicks were vying for a beauty pageant title there, but our key interest was the equipment and talk.Finally, after loitering there for two hours, we had our cameras cleaned for free and a front row seat for the talk by Kurt.On the whole, the show as interesting because most of the industry people were at hand to sell and showcase their trade.

Eric Wong on Starmetro's Timeout

My buddy Eric Wong has done very well.He was featured today on page 15 of Starmetro.Wong has been collecting knives for more than a decade and had amassed a sizeable
collection of custom-made tactical knives.He is based in Shanghai, China, and comes home to KL every year to be with his sister, his
only sibling.And each time he makes a visit, we will catch up and talk about knives.Eric is also the co-founder of the Malaysia Knife Forums. Well, sort of, Its my forum anyway.His knowledge in edge tools simply amazes me and what I can say is that I am very proud of
having him as a friend.

Another weekend well-spent..

I made a follow-up trip to Taman Rimba Kiara with Master Kurt G and a few new friends Bernard and Derrick including my knife kaki Kit.

Made my way to the park and had my McDonald's breakfast and a cup of coffee before I begin shooting some insects with my Canon EOS7D and my EF1oomm F2.8L IS macro lens.

Seems that my new Samo Frankenfuser mk II is holding out pretty well and yielded some good shots.

Seeing the insects up close and capturing them on my digital camera made me forget about that measely 4.7% increment that I received yesterday.

It was an awesome de-stressing session and I was totally focused on getting my act together.

I also made some new friends and am glad that my circle of friends are getting larger.

Photography really helped me to pass my time and yielded some really cool results.

Now, I can look forward to a session of night macro photography outing in Bukit Gasing!
