Batangan Baru Trip part 2.

Care to Kayak, anyone?

Traditional 'board game'!

Broken and neglected.

Au revoir!

The second part of the photos that were taken during the trip. I apologized for the late update due to the size problem of the pictures. I have to resize them all cos last time, the uploader won't let me to upload the photos which made me a bit stressed. 

Batangan Baru Trip part 1.

These are some of the photos that I've taken during the trip to Batangan Baru that was organized by the uni's photography club. As you can see the photos above, we did Batik Painting and that was actually our first activity of the day. I must say that the trip was kinda laid back and I enjoyed it.

More pictures to come cos the Blogger uploader wouldn't let me to upload more pics which sucks.

Photography Contest- Kenzo Peace with Nature.

"You are the MOST vivid from the rest."

A friend of mine on Facebook posted a photography contest that was organized by Kenzo in conjunction of the launching of its new fragrance 'Flower'. The theme for the contest would be 'A Touch of Red', which means red color has to be part in the photo. Contestants can choose 1 out of 2 categories, Advanced Category is for advanced, experienced and pro photographers. 2nd category would be the Creative Category and this category is for casual shooters with creativity in expressing the theme.

Was thinking to enter the contest and went around my house to get inspired and I saw this flower. My mom planted it years ago and it grows healthily, we called it Firecrackers flower cos it kinda look like a small bunch of firecrackers and birds love to suck the honey out of it. I got lost track of  time and when I wanted to submit it, the submission has been closed. Too bad but it's okay though, just not my luck. :D

The Justine Clan.

 Picking up shells at the beach

I present to you my family, The Justine. These photos were taken way back in the month of May. Went back to my dad's hometown, Kuala Penyu to celebrate 'Kaamatan' also known as Harvest Festival. Dad decided to bring us to Sawangan Beach a few days later, grandma was with us too but she's camera shy so didn't have the chance to take her portrait. The weather was fine, a little bit windy but it didn't rain. My little brother and youngest sister behaved that day, no shouting and fighting with each other like they always do so my parents could have their tranquility for a little while. The kids were playing and picking up shells, the grownups chit chat under a tree nearby, and I was busy taking pictures of the sceneries. Too bad my younger sister wasn't there with us, she actually went back to Labuan on exactly the same to continue her study. Matriculation's school break sucks, not long enough for us to spend quality family time together.

Edited the photos in B&W to give a pinch of dramatic effect.

Overall, the day was fun. It was nice to be at the beach once in a while. 

Mini Diana, a princess!

Diana and I.

It's been awhile since my last post and I'm sorry for not updating earlier and often cos I've been uninspired at all, that happen to me sometimes . But today I'm going to blog about the new addition to my family of camera. Welcome Diana! Such a lovely name for an awesome, small and plastic camera! It's actually a lomo camera and it uses 35mm film strip. Bought it last week when a friend of mine told me that her friend will open a booth at Megalong's Flea market and she'll be selling Mini Diana for only RM150. RM150 for a lomo cam?? I thought to myself that's definitely a catch and worth it! In my family, not only me who likes to take picture but my younger sister as well. Marsha is interested in photography too but her kind of approach is more laid back, go with the flow, very relax cos that's really who she is and Lomography suits her the best. She loves Lomography, so I decided to buy it for her, I mean HELP her. She'll pay me back! hahaha! 

The pictures that the mini royal could produce are outstanding by just looking at the pictures on the book that came with the camera. You guys can check out some of the pictures here. This little baby can take 2 sizes of frame, 24x24 is the square format and 24x17 is the half format. That's exactly one of the features that I really love about this mini camera!

Collaboration part 2.

A nice rest.

Too cute.

Having to know Joel who shares the same interest as mine is definitely a good thing cos we can learn a few new things, tricks and skills from each other. Similar from the previous collaboration, I was the one who took the pictures and Joel edited them. 

You can check out his blog and his pictures are amazing.
