Wednesday Clicks

Over the past week I had a huge scare when I tried updating this blog and I also gotten a new 1TB hard disk thanks to munZ. I installed it into my PC at home and only realised that I removed the wrong SATA cable and now one of my older hard disks is disconnected. Once the new hard disks are formatted, I will attempt to reconnect back the other SATA cable as well as try to tidy up the mess that is inside my PC.

Been looking at options to update my blog layout as well as a full redesign. Can’t seem to find the time to sit down and look through all of the codings. Might need to setup another test blog before moving over.

After enjoying a long weekend and actually playing golf again at the Bangi Equitorial resort after a long hiatus, I must say that I became faily tanned and realised that I may be alergic to the sunblock I bought. There were some interesting photos I took over the weekend on my Facebook profile, mainly taken with my iPhone and then uploaded them via Maxis 3G. Here are this week’s Wednesday Clicks.

  • Sick of your old camera equipment and you really feel like you would need the latest spanking new camera body or that new lens? Well, here is a good reality check for you.
  • If you have recently upgraded to Adobe Lightroom 2 and was wondering what new feature that was in it, do check this tutorial out. Very nifty and simple especially if you are unfamiliar with layers.
  •  Here is an interesting link in the event you feel as if you are having a mental block especially if you are a photographer. Something similar to breaking writer’s block.

I can’t wait for this weekend with another round of golf with my friends. I am leaving this week’s Wednesday Clicks (ok, it is still Wednesday in Hawaii!) with a strip from one of my favourite comic strips.

Update: I had to include the last link into this week’s Wednesday Clicks

I guess if there were any other posts here, this blog would then be called the Wednesday Clicks blog. Anyway, let me start off first with a little bit of what has been happening. I read a food review about Popeye’s latest fast food chain here the other day and was extremely curious about the food. Usually I trust certain food reviews but me being a fast food junkie, I headed there last night and decided to try their fried chicken. My review about it? Well, the food is not going to lure me there as I really felt that it was just “so-so”. Nothing spectacular about it and since it is located in the busy area of Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, I doubt that I would be there anytime soon.

Back to the clicks.

More posts coming soon!

I am completely late for this week’s Wednesday Clicks so do forgive me. It has been a hectic couple of days of fun and laughter and catching up with friends. I have two sets of wedding photos to blog about and that should come pretty soon. In the mean time, here are this week’s Wednesday Clicks.

This is it for this week’s weekly links. Next up, an actual post with more photos!

Update 2: Added a new link icon smile Wednesday Clicks

Update 1: Thanks for pointing out the broken link, fixed it already

Alright, Nick was right. At the mean time the only thing consistent is this weekly post on some links I think is interesting. Believe me, I want to post more but I am just so short for time, you wouldn’t believe how incredibly crazy things have gotten. Here are some interesting links for this week icon smile Wednesday Clicks

  • Jasmine Star has started teaching photography workshops. So if you are in the US around the 10th of March, that is when her first workshop begins. Its a one day workshop at the cost of USD$750 per pax.
  • Our local wedding photographer, Anna-Rina, has combined her blog and her online portfolio following in the steps of her favourite photog. Check it out here. Her arms are more toned than most guys I know icon razz Wednesday Clicks
  • Apparently someone found out that a certain individual blared out that “one Malaysian Top Politician was involved in the murder of Altantuya, that Mongolian woman”. Check it out here.
  • Nikon has released the 1.01 firmware for the D700 and the 2.01 firmware for the D3.
  • Another lengthy open-letter about the proposed LABU airport.
  • Two of my favourite photographers from the US whom I check out their blog regularly, has published their top 100 engagement photos in 2008. Yes, top 100. That is totally awesome! Do check it out here.

That’s all for this week. Back to work work work work work….

I think I’ve gotten more gray hairs over the past couple of weeks.

Wedding Photography Exhibit + Late Wednesday Clicks

I have been busy running some errands today getting photos printed and later setting up some photos for WeddingStory at the Hiplist Photography Exhibit at the Times Bookstore in Pavillion today and tomorrow setting up the photos at the Times Bookstore in Bangsar Shopping Centre.

hiplist Wedding Photography Exhibit + Late Wednesday Clicks

Celebrating the Art of Malaysia Wedding Photographers

I would like to invite all the readers of this blog to attend the exhibition as well as for a talk I am giving at Pavillion Times Bookstore at 2.00pm on Sunday. The talk will be for couples who are looking to hire a wedding photographer and I will be sharing with them on what they should look out for in a photographer. Also, there are RM500 vouchers and discounts available in goodie bags.

Then at the same time I am busy post processing a lot of photos (in the thousands) as well as balancing my need to study for my PMP Certification. I got two text books, one containing about 500 plus pages and another study guide which is 600 pages thick. It has been like almost 5 years since I last studied for an exam and it is definitely not going to be an easy task.

I missed this week’s wednesday clicks so I am incorporating a little bit of that into this post as well. I was held up at training the entire day and then had to rush to KL for another meeting. By the time I got home past midnight so I already missed my Wednesday clicks. Anyway here are some interesting links this week.

  • Yes, the annual ChargeUp Conference is back again and registration has opened. This conference changed my life especially in the area of media. This was where it all began for my life in photography. This time it is held in Penang and yes, there will be a photography stream available!
  • It is not very often you get to see a wedding photographer’s portrait session being taken let alone seeing them in front of the camera instead of behind it.
  • Of course this is big news in Malaysia, do we really need a 4th airport at Labu?
  • Obama’s official portrait has just been released, and it is the first time it was shot with a digital camera.

Here are this week’s Wednesday Clicks with some interesting links to some various sites. Its the first Wednesday Clicks for 2009 so here is to a great year ahead with more interesting news and titbits from around.

  • For you pixel peepers, check out some stunning photos taken with the new Nikon D3x here from our neighbours up north. For one thing, I am extremely impressed with the quality of the photos. They just look amazing!
  • Another site to compare images between various cameras (Canon, Nikon, Sony and the list continues).
  • Find out more about this free software to shoot tethered with Nikon here.
  • An interesting article which highlights MCA and where they stand.
  • If you haven’t found out, YL Camera, that awesome camera store based at Pudu Plaza has launched their website. I wanted to announce this previously but their website wasn’t updated but now I see a whole slew of lenses available for purchase there.
  • Having a dual screen whilst working on photos/videos is awesome right? Now ever wondered if you could have a dual screen on-the-go? Well look no further, the Lenovo ThinkPad W700 might just be the solution for you. Check it out here.
  • Looking for a RSS aggregator? I recommend Google Reader.
  • Google’s Picasa is now available for Macs! Download it here.
  • Apple has released their new unibody 17″ Macbookpro at the MacWorld conference. Other new items include iWork 09 and iLife 09. Also iTunes now deliver DRM free tunes to you. In terms of its released, rumours were that the iPhone Nano might make its debut.

Alright, that is it for this week. I am still way too busy trying to manage every available time I have to post process photos and get them delivered before the Chinese New Year. Please be patient with me ya? Thanks!

Weekly Wednesday Clicks

This week’s Wednesday clicks would come a little earlier as I think I might be rushing through the day to complete quite a lot in a very short time. Anyway, there have been some very interesting sites that I managed to troll out from the world wide web so brace yourself and enjoy the links.

On a personal note, I got back from Penang on Monday and I was totally exhausted. I guess the 9 hour drive up on Saturday and the 5 hour drive down on Monday took a huge toll on me but the trip was fun and relaxing. I really didn’t know that prices of food in Penang has gone up, I ended up paying RM8 for “char koay teow” and worse of all, “tau sar pneah” was completely sold out. I got loads of photos to sort through, process and deliver so will be very busy over the next couple of weeks.

Christmas is almost upon us and I thought I would have missed posting this week’s Wednesday clicks as I am away on training and I have no access to the internet when I am on training. But I decided to stick with my schedule and still post this before heading out for dinner with my cell.

  1. Timothy shares his experience with queue cutters in Hong Kong here. Not a bad strategy by our neighbouring Asian countrymen (not the Hongkies) icon smile Wednesday Clicks
  2. Steve Jobs is skipping MacWorld? Who will present the new Mac Mini?
  3. Check out this interesting Nikon D3 which is nicknamed the “Wedding Photographer Edition”
  4. Twitter chooses Google over Facebook, er, what does that mean to me?

Tomorrow is my last day at my PMP training to prepare myself to sit for the PMI project management certification. One thing I learned is to bring loads of coffee over there and try to avoid the traffic jams at PJ State.
