Celebration of Christmas is rising to the peak soon...25th Dec
All the years we had celebrated Christmas but this year I find it quite fascinating that almost each shopping complexes had a lot of decorations. Unlike the usual decorations which only consists of Christmas Trees but this year different complexes decorated their complexes in their own unique ways which also enable us as a visitor or customer in that complex to take a few shots of ourselves or with our family with the decorations around it.
What a fantastic way to pull up the end year sales in each complex.
But well, they really did pour in a whole lot of effort to live up the place with more customers and visitors.
Even though our country are facing some economics up and down, we could still see people roaming around these complexes nowadays, filling the emptiness before this.
Even though mostly of them just went there to snap some photos or do some window shopping, they are still definitely a potential customer that might just drop by any of the shop to get some items that might just attract them during this happy festive season.

Before signing off in this post,
Wishing here all of you
A Happy Merry Christmas &
A Happy New Year.

Nowadays camera everyone also can buy. Are they truly camera lovers?
It's just like a hobby but whether or not one really know how to take a great photo is totally a different side of a story.

That's why photography industry in Malaysia is totally ruined by people thinking that any snap of a photo which even include themselves can be called a photo.
If the camera only purpose is to snap candid or usual photo which we would usually see them uploaded in Facebook or Friendster, my advice would be the usual compact camera, unless one really got a whole lot of money to throw or distribute around.

For a DSLR camera, one need to know it's all about the flexibility and enjoyment of using manual setting rather than auto since it is meaningless to use auto in DSLR. Great photo with a mood that you would wanted to present in a photo can't be produced by auto setting.
Auto setting can even sometime ruin the result of a photo causing the photo to look either to dark or to bright or in another word, bad quality photo (which sometimes you feel like tearing the photos into tiny pieces).
But whatever it is, the most important is how the way one snap a photo by using a right lens, aperture, and shutter speed.
And most of all is the angle where we snap it, could also give others a chance to feel the mood that we wanted them to visualize when viewing our photo.

By the way, in my opinion Nikon would be my option since it gives a better quality photo in many ways and is usable in different weather. Usually a beginner DSLR camera that is common nowadays with the low price start from 1.8K unless one is prepared to get the old model (very old) or with a lower megapixel (nowadays at least 10mp is needed) or second hand, than one might get below 1.8K.
If a beginner really want to go after a cheap DSLR, I would really suggest they go after Canon 1000D or Nikon D3000.

Prices in all shop-lots are following the prices of the dealers which are usually RM400 more expensive. So either you need to know someone selling these cameras or you really need to bargain with the seller.
For Canon 1000D with lens included the price in the market is RM2.2k approx.
For Nikon D3000 with lens included the price in the market is RM 2.3k approx.
If you manage to bargain, you would also be able to get one of them with lens included for only approx RM1.8K (usually RM 1.8K is only the body of the camera in normal pricing).

Lets decide. =D

To whoever who watched this drama,
I know those who are watching halfway find it the BEST!!!..
Well..I totally agreed, thumbs up.
The climax, the action, romance...totally make us wanting more of those and felt like watching the next episode immediately.
For me personally, i felt that it is far much better than Prison Break.
But...
For those who already watched the Final episode,
I share your feeling.
Felt like going all the way to South Korea to ask the director personally why did he killed the main character (Kim Hyun Jun) off.
Just like Prison Break, the main character was killed at the end...but at least he died honourably unlike the main character in IRIS.
This drama has the best option to end the first season good, but they just shook all of us and push us off the cliff by killing off the main character unnecessary.
Want to know how he died? Simply snipped and shot by a sniper.

But a lot speculations are roaming in the net whether or not the main character is really dead since the camera man only shot the scene where he bleed from his head and he slowly faded off by closing his eyes.
If he is really dead by a head shot, it would be instant dead unlike the way where he slowly fade to his death.
And this stories is still far from end...since :
* What is IRIS is still yet to uncover.
* Who is Mr Black the head of IRIS.
* What is Choi Seung Hee relation to IRIS head.
* What happened to Baek San.
etc...
There are still a lot of unanswered questions.
Will we still able to see Lee Byung Hun to continue his role as Kim Hyun Jun in season 2?

Wait up for their sneak peek on the first week of January 2010.
