Cloudy Days

Dark skies across the skies, a symbol of things to come, will it rain? Sometimes it does, sometimes it don't.

Will it rain? How can i go home? Did i bring my umbrella? Did i hung any clothes outdoor? Did i close my window? All sorta question will pop up

Outdoors plan will be ruined and hoping it wont rain that long, while there are other people who will not leave this natural phenomena to waste, well of course by recuperating... @@

And there are people who enjoyed the sound of rain, the smell rain ( mainly due to evaporation of water on the floor ), just that the rain creates a gloomy, calm feel that signifies the wonderfulness and harmony which only nature can offer.

Well cut the crap! its geek-info time on some HDR attempt photography!

The picture above was a so called HDR photography, which normal digital compact cameras cannot provide such output (unless with a built in HDR feature) . As normally if its not too bright, its too dark.

Such example is that our eyes can see our friend faces while behind a clear blue sky while inside our camera either is a white-blown background or a clear blue sky but dark faces. This is due to the dynamic range our camera sensors can provide, its not as good as our eyes. To achieve such effect, the trick is using three different photo, which was then merged together to achieve a HDR pic. Just set camera in a static position and capture three different photos by playing around with shutter speed (better than changing ISO and Aperture) .

Normal

Bright

Dark

Just merge this three pics using an automated feature in Photoshop and you're done!

I hate Running

Joggings are... repeating actions of rapid movements with not much changes in moves in time, not much skill required, nothing new to discover, the feelings were just like slowly killing self bit by bit and you never know when you should stop @@

Running is no fun at all

There's an annual event "larian kecergasan" during my secondary school and never once i completed within one hour ( if done so, will contribute marks to the team ) most of the time is due to stamina and for the final year is too much participant jay walking on the roads, chit-chating and blocking all the way -.-

It was then until November 2010, which during my intern at Penang, my buddies registered me for a 21km marathon and no turning back, As 10km is too little while 42km is too exterme.. Thus it was my first official marathon and make me even more hate running during the trainings (being left behind all the time).But since then, it was a pretty great experience where such achievement in life was made and from that moment onwards, running seems to be a good activity even though i do hate running itself -.-

PBIM 21km 21-11-2010

Realizing running is the easiest activity can be done by a lot people, which part of my course mates joined, i started to ask my CS (Community Service) members and eventually a lot joined as time goes by =)
