Duty to Spam

Among the other things I did in the past 3 days were these. HDR Photography... although it isn't really apparent in my pictures below. But I guess it pass for a first time.





Also looking forward to trying out some Lomopgraphy as per klu[x]'s blog next chance I get.

Home Sweet Home!

I'm back! Was back since Monday night actually, but loads of sunburn convinced me I needed to lie on the bed with minimal movement while I shed skin. Lol.

Feeling that Figma's Kagami "Miku" never got enough love for a while now, I decided to bring her along for the trip. Initially I thought of bringing Revoltech's Patlabor Alfonso along, and the idea of Figma's Koizumi scheel uniform crossed my head too, but both would feel a little out-of-place. So in the end, decided to stick with Kagami.




Ahhh... Mabishi


Doing the Hula dance around the island


Remember to wear your life jacket!


Wasn't too happy with this pose I guess




A days work for a figure. Not as easy as it seems. :)


Anyone noticed a problem with my pictures yet?
All the backgrounds are blurred. I know that I should increase the Aperture to take an overall clear pic. But seems like I need a tripod for that as all my photo's come out all blurry. Lol.

Feel free to drop by my personal blog@Blur's Crib for more "personal" pictures of the trip. But a pre-warning, lots of topless shots of me and some other blokes. It is NOT a pretty sight. -.-"

Taking some shots at Putrayaja

Got a new cam on Saturday night. Thanks to compulsive buying and Wayne, a retarded friend. LoL!

It's a Sony A300. Funny thing is, I've never been a fan of Sony... Well, except for Ps2. But they have the cheaper camera kits to start off your photography. And I needed something CHEAP. :p



Not long after I returned home and turn on the Pc Razrig@Baka-Steam messaged me to see if I wanted to go for a photo shoot or something the following day. Lol !Talk about perfect timing!

So I tagged along, took some photos as he taught me quite alot of stuffs. I also found out that I suck at remembering roads. -.-"



Editing the Raw files of the photos was another part of the fun with photography; as I fiddled around to see what I can squeeze out of it. The toughest part for me during editing was to decide if I wanted to
1) sharpen everything and lose the smoothness of the color or
2) leave it as it is, giving a more natural feel but slightly blur pictures.
In the end, I decided to sharpen everything. And probably will keep doing so until I learn how NOT to take out of focus shots. :p



Feel free to imagine your own captions. I'm all out of brain power. Lol!

Not bad for my first photo session with my new A300 eh... :p
*If you could only see how big my head is now :p*

Nendoroids and Mikuru's were courtesy of Razrig for the photoshoot. I only brought the figmas.

Konami Asuna Kagurasaka

Finally, I'm posting about my G.A.C.C. loot. Nothing much, just some animes I have yet to watch , doujin works, figures and a badge. I don't know why. Funny thing is, among everything there, I love the badge the most. Lol!


Can you guys guess which character is in the badge? :p Answer will be revealed in future posts.

For now, here are some pictures of Konami's Asuna. It was very cheap I'd say, but you get what you pay for I believe. And see the numerous amount of flaws on this Konami figure. The obvious glue marks, seam lines, blur lining, etc. etc.

But hey, it's Negima! Got to represent! Lol!



Warm color settings Vs. Cool color settings



Anyone noticed something different with the pictures yet? Yeah, started watermarking em. I don't mind people using them to be honest, my pictures are as shitty as it can get. But I figured it would help Anime3R a little on the promotion side. -.-"

*Now excuse me while I crank the volumn up and indulge myself in some Coldplay... Life in Technicolor to be exact*

Snowing in August

Finally got off my lard-butt and completed this display. Although will "improve" with time as I give it more snow. For now, sore fingers means I'm gonna stop for a while. And being all excited! I'm gonna post this up first. Lol!


Ingredients


"You are taking forever! Give me the foam and I'll show you how to slice it up!"




Sore fingers, a packet of energy drink, and 3 episodes of Majo Saiban later




Dislike how Asuka's hair prevents her head from being tilt up. So she always faces downwards. Only remedy? bent the waist upwards and face her chest up.








Super glue... Your best friend or your worst enemy




Loooooooooong accessory there





Next display I'll be fiddling around with.. will be "A little green" for Miss Nagi-san.
