The return of Wednesday Clicks

Posted on by

Only to return on a Monday, I have decided to return my old trend of providing some interesting links as well as excerpts from other sources which either inspire me or give some sort of educational value.

First up for this week:

  • I’ve only started reading some inspirational blogs lately especially to gain some insights of what I can use in life as well as apply at my job which has been consuming a lot of my time lately. Just see when was my last posting and you will know why. Anyway, I thought that this article on “How to be good at something” is very relevant and useful to us all no matter which industry you might be in.
  • A good book review on the “The presentation secrets of Steve Job” can be found over at Duarte’s blog. In case you don’t know who Nancy Duarte is, she is the owner of the company that came out with Al Gore’s “The Inconvenient Truth”. I get plenty of corporate presentation tips from her although I still find it hard to apply some of the design principles into corporate slides.
  • In case you have been living in a nutshell, Louis Pang recently launched his new training portal called WedShooter. Check it out over here, sign up quick and get a discount for a year’s subscription as well as his World Tour DVD!
  • Scott Kelby has a recent posting on what every new Lightroom user should know. Check it out especially in particularly that you are new to Lightroom as well as trying to figure out what Lightroom is about.

Ahoy there, what happened to last week’s posting? It seemed to have dissapeared but to be perfectly honest, I was busy catching the Champions League final match between Man Utd and Barcelona in a local Irish Pub near my hotel on 50th Street in Manhattan. The atmosphere was great, the pub was split with supporters from both sides sitting at different sections and me and Jamie had a huge plate of nachos to split between the two of us.

Look at the size of the nachos! All covered in cheese and sour cream, yumz!

Anyway back to the point, let’s have some interesting links here.

  • First of all, I definitely have to highlight this video made by my friend, theBackpackr, watch it here and you will laugh your head off. I guess some people are willing to go to extreme lengths just to get the Apple 3G iPhone. Otherwise, for the rest of you camera fans out there, the video was shot entirely with the new Canon 5D Mk2.
  • Secondly, as part of the WeddingStory team, I was unfortunate fortunate not to have been to Bangladesh because apparently there was an outbreak over there which some people say is more serious than the H1N1 virus. As you can see from this video here, Malaysians who are there tend to end up going crazy, I really mean going crazy. Don’t believe me? You definitely have to watch the video then to understand my point.
  • Only in Malaysia can you confiscate someone’s shirt because of some of the “controversial” designs on it and when the designer asks what are the guidelines for designs, there are no guidelines at all!
  • There is an upcoming Blogger’s Karnival which is going to be held on the 20th June at Jaya 33. For more information about the event, click on this link.

That’s all for this week. I would definitely recommend watching those videos, don’t forget to click “play” first and then “pause” and wait for the entire video to load first before watching it. Malaysia isn’t blessed with fast internet speed so this is just one of the workarounds.

Its Wednesday’s again and time for the this week’s Wednesday Clicks. With all that has been going on politcally here in Malaysia, especially that state up north of Selangor, there have been loads of interesting news flying about.

  • Chase Jarvis has posted on his blog a post entitled, “Shake Your Tree“, which is an interesting read especially for you photographers out there. He talks about how to start shaking our own tree and start doing something instead of laying about idle. Personally, my plan is to start taking more photos with my iPhone and look out for interesting subjects and frames about.
  • Apparently news are going about that Rocky will be the CEO of Malay Mail. According to Rocky himself, it is completely wrong.
  • This link is dedicated to the Pulau Ketam Save the Dog’s Campaign. For more information check out the link, here are some thoughts from some bloggers about, here and here.
  • ShootFest 001 has reached 65 registrants so far and the max number of registrants who can attend is only 80. That means there is only 15 more spots available. I do encourage everyone to participate and find a session to present, it can be either 15mins or 30mins and the rest could be time for networking. Let’s all get out of our own comfort zone and share with one another ok?
  • Apparently some dude in China is saying that he knows of what are the new specs for the upcoming iPhone. He claims that it will have a capacity of 32Gb, a 3.2MP cam with autofocus ability and a 600MHz processor. I do think that the additional capacity and memory bump speed and the autofocus ability of the cam is a nice welcome.

That’s all for this week folks.

This week on Wednesday Clicks I am proud to give you a new word to learn, “Boudoir”. What is it you ask me? Well it has something to do with this style of photography which I am unsure if many male photographers get to shoot. Most of the ones posted on the web were usually taken by famous female photographers. Anyway, just an interesting point to note. If you are still clueless about what “Boudoir” means, just click on the first link.

  • Jasmine Star’s recent Boudoir shoot
  • Last week both Scott Kelby and Matt Klowk…er…that Lightroom guy, anyway, they are part of this new online web resource/TV called D-Town TV where they had their premier episode last week. Check it out here.
  • Check out this competition, it’s called “Name your dream assignment” which is organised by Lenovo and Microsoft. Huge prizes to be won.
  • Learn how to shoot rock concerts here.
  • Apple has released their new line of Macs on Tuesday, “new” Macs include the ever elusive Mac Mini, new iMacs, a bumped up Macbook Pro and the Mac Pro.
  • PSP2 is underway? Images do look fantastic though.

That’s it for this week. Back to the rat race!

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.

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.

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.
