For the first time ever since I stepped foot in Australia did I finally not have a class on Labour Day. So to celebrate, a bunch of us went to a friend's place for some yummy waffles and bacon and some great coffee made by our friend. We had a great game of Scrabble and ended up chatting a bit since rain came, kinda ruining the photo shoot that we were suppose to go on but that was alright. Great have a chat with a small group of people. Did I mention that there 4 DSLRs under one roof? Yup, there's an entry level Nikon D-something, a Pentax K20, a Nikon D300 and a Canon 5D MkII. On top of that there were 2 film SLRs, a Pentax MX and a Nikon FM2. So basically, there's an average of one SLR to one person. Talk about camera geeks. I know. I'm one of them.
Eventually went out shopping for a bit before settling down for some food around 5 pm. This is such an odd time for me to eat because it was neither lunch (which can start at around 3 something) and dinner (which can be as late as 10 pm). But more importantly there were some good times there. Sure the rain has disrupted a lot of our initial plans but I think I like it this way.
Nothing much that I can say around here except that I think I should really start doing my assignment. This time round it wasn't as hectic as the last semester but I foresee that my 3D Graphics and Animation assignment could be a possible pain in the butt when programming. But at least I would be productive and in some sense I wished that the rest of the subjects were this technical. Either that or they are really slow in picking up the pace. Come on man! I need the challenge!
On a totally random point, I'm feeling for a Bronica 6x6 medium format camera. I would love to have a Hasselblad 500 (it's sooooooo sleek) but I has no money.
And as usual, for me to write another blog post, means that I'm dumping another lot of news stuck on my tabs:
Such an interesting concept for lighting. Would save studio photographers a lot of pain setting up lighting.
I'm sure pretty much everyone didn't see this coming. Can you say "irony"?
I was supposed to be #10 but now I'm potentially going to be #4. But I like being #10...
I would like to know the gender analysis of their subject group for this test. If there is no difference between gender, that may open up a whole can of worms.
This is really bizarre. I don't even know how to piece everything together.
X-ray vision. Yay or nay?
I really want to play Final Fantasy 13. I don't care what they say about the gameplay interface, it has always been a problem to some people. Come on, how can you like resist graphics? =P And yes I'm pretty sure you cried or were utterly shocked when Aeris died.
Selfish doesn't even begin to describe him. Dictatorial is.
Remember the videos from WongFu Productions on how Technology Ruins Romance? With this, expect more ruining.
How is it that the thousands of friends who got or are getting married possibly explain this statistic? Oh that's right, they're not staying in Malaysia...
No aircraft or ground target is safe once this flies. Sick.
Can you imagine all the SuperPoking, giving of stuff in Farmville and the slaying of monsters on Castle Age from him to his "friends"?
Sure it's cool for the PS3 owners but will it blend?
Fairly interesting article on Singapore.
Oh and Pentax releases their fresh from the oven digital medium format SLR, the 645D. That's pretty great but can we get a full frame Pentax SLR any time soon? If you guys can develop a camera with a 44 mm x 33 mm sensor, surely making a 36 mm x 24 mm sensor isn't going to be that hard, no? Kthx.
