Tasmanian Film Festival

Wow! it's been more than 3 weeks since the last time I posted something substantial. Came back from July Camp and of course previously, Tasmania and it was all good. As always, here are the pictures from my film camera but the digital one is going to have to wait. My laptop is dying and I'm going to get a new computer so I can start editing stuff on Lightroom.



Decided to try the slideshow feature in Picasa, see how is it like so for those reading this on Facebook, I don't think it will show up. Gives even more reason to come here *cough* . I have to say that I wished that more shots on film that I would really really like. My current favourite is the second night shot, the one with the building. But there are some pretty good accidents and mistakes that came out of film which I would have never dreamed off in digital (or at least it wouldn't have crossed my mind). There is a ghosty picture of all of us in the background of snow capped mountains. That was a double exposure and it happened because I was a little ignorant of the number of shots I have already taken. I had a 24 exposure roll and the film seemed to stop at 22, 2 less than what I'm supposed to be getting. So I manually override it and continued shooting. And it turns out that it shot on the same frame, giving this lovely result of a ghostly picture. Cool.

And now I shall leave you with articles of the three weeks. More to come after I get a new machine...
Big huge labs. It's sort of like Picasa Extended.

This is something I've read from time to time since I found this because I think it's pretty true here and now. Especially over these couple of weeks where stuff like these happen and as the author said, it's annoying and sometimes painful (that's my bit). I've mentioned to a few people that I am on the quarter life crisis after looking around my current situation and relationships are one of the factors in that crisis. Not that I don't want one or am uber longing for one, but it's just that everywhere I turn there are couples doing semi-couply stuff and leaving me in the corner because there's someone else. That again is not wrong in anyway, but sooner or later pretty all attention goes to them leaving people like me feeling like they have no friends, making feel like they are lacking something or someone. I guess what I am trying to say is what the author said in his title, we deserve props.

Very old news but I'm still shocked to hear that 3.7 million viewers watched the final episode. That's like 15% of the total population of Australia!! Too bad Poh didn't win, otherwise Malaysians all over Australia will be shouting "Malaysia Boleh!"

Something that my parents should have done when teaching me any of the dialects especially my mother tongue, Hokkien. I now find that not being able to speak any Chinese dialect has disadvantaged me in more ways that I thought possible.

I guess there is some truth whenever someone says to you "You have a certain glow on your face. Seeing anyone?" They say that the light is too faint to be visibly seen, but I wonder if subconsciously the light gets to the eyes and still is registered but not enough to form necessary information to make you aware of it but the subconscious does. Hmmm

Cleartune on the App Store is the best guitar tuner for the iPhone ever. I bought and love it already...and it looks retro
