About My Camera

Right now I'm still using Nikon D70s DSLR photograph camera or with 70-300 AF G Nikkor lens. Really satisfied but I'm not having much more money now to buy a wider lens so it reflects on my photo collection that not much a wide scene or larger view. I'm focusing on detailed object now so I hope it works so well. But if it doesn't maybe a lot of varied angle with do so fine for my collection.

Welcome WACOM BAMBOO to my photo editing work station

Now I've a lot more to do with my photograph and I hope I can draw human object (in any style that i like) cause it matter in design world. So I have to study more about using the WACOM BAMBOO. Just wait for my piece of work....ehehehhe

Material for photo editing or digital imaging

I guess all of the amateur photo editor or digital imaging maker/designer know that it needs a lot of material to build or to make a workpiece (and independent workpiece not commercial use). And the material must be legal too. According to my experiences, there is a lot of source that surely free to use. The design material would be: photo stock, brush, vector, psd, and a lot of Photoshop elements (if you use Photoshop). But there are several disclaimer/agreements/ToS/ToC and mant other terms/condition that the user of all of the material/elements provided freely must be understand and obey to. Several term of agreements:
-Free to use in any occation.
-Free to use in any occation but have to report to the owner or declared the owner on the works.
-Free to use but must have to donate.
-Free to use, but non commercial.
And several others.
So be wise and smart (read first the agreements) if youare going to use any free material for your works.

Diecast Rack or Shelf

When I went to the toys store, I found this interesting rack or shelf that specialized to put their collection of diecast. Why am I so interesting? Because it made by own design and gave the design to the carpenter or furniture maker. The result is so neat and tidy..want it for me to place my own collection. Several material to build that shelf: wood, aluminum, acrylic, wood paint, glass material, and nail. Look how the diecast box (small red color pattern box) or the diecast itself placed in each little compartment.

A qualification for photo editor?

This i wrote because I have several time proposing as photo editor because I really have interest in photo editing. They told me that a photo editor must have a background of designer, since that i have only engineering education background but I increasing my photo editing knowledge through reading and internet browsing looking for tutorials. Could that possibly the main reason (education background) why i am not elected or being chosen as the photo editor? Not because of talented and still growing skill?

0 Km Milestone Monument

This is one of the monuments that Bandung my city has.



And this is about what is the monument.

Photo Editing Tips: Using Photo Software

If you want to try to edit, retouch or correct your photograph you must seriously handle only one photo software that you most known or easy to use. The reason why I recommend this tips because if you try one technique you will get involves easily with other technique and your skill will improve a lot. I mean in other word I want to say that you must focus to one software deeply rather than using a lot of software but you only kow for each software the easy step. But this will different if you surely have accomplish to handling all the technique and you want to try another software or the another software is just for the helping one cause your main photo software doesn't have the tool that you want.

Trade Center, Sports Venue Corridor

Remember when I posted a corridor of trees? Well now I'm going to show another corridor.
First Corridor: The corridor of pathway consist of rocks ornaments pillar
This is the pathway connecting one sport venue to another venue. I might say that this is natural and very neat indeed.

Second: The corridor of pathway in the trade center, we can see rows of rollingdor which is the cover of the trade place cluster unit.
Still close for now, a lot of trader who already owned the unit hasn't moved yet to this new place of trading. This trade center is smaller than a mall. But very popular among trader or businessman for a small-scale business. We can see that one unit already open the business which is by known that is the place for fixing game console. Other business as well that we can establish in this trade center are trading electronic components, trading electronic equipments, selling automotive spare part, and etc if u wish the things you sell ca give you a lot of profit.

Bandung's Becak

Bandung's Becak

Yes that is one of the reliable public transportation for mostly female adolescence (moms, grandmas, wives, even student) especially when they go to the place which short in distance such as mini market, store, public place, etc. Becak is like ricksaw in Eastern Asia, controlled and powered by human. In several place in my country they have been modified using motorcycle. Other function of becak in my city is to become movable goods vehicle so they are not only treating human. Others as well making becak as trust able services to pick up and deliver the children to school, for this one the parents should be more aware and very cautious to the person who becoming the becak’s driver that provide the service.
Related with the picture shown in this post, I want to tell you that recently they have been made the mini version of becak. Look at that, the photograph each shows you as the senior becak and junior becak, even all the person involve (passenger and driver) represent senior and junior. The mini version I guess it is more like to become fun vehicle rather than functioned well transportation.

Senior Citizen Activity In The Morning

In the morning they usually do the exercise just like in the photograph shown. Yes, the acknowledgements about the importance of staying healthy in the old age is increasingly because the socialization through social gathering or media. They usually do this twice or minimum once a week. The group of senior citizen just like in the picture is came from the small society from surrounding nearest neighborhood (formally in Indonesia the society called RW which is the smallest level of government) They have been organized and led by the ones who is representative to be chosen as the leader of the exercise. So they still as a productive citizen even they are in pension time.

The Modern One inside the vintage one.

The Modern One inside the vintage one.

Bandung is the city which known has a lot of inherit or historical building from the age of struggle for independence against Netherlands civilization. Maybe it is a lot more easier if we try to find what kind of the historical building that Bandung has over the internet. But in this case I want to show you the ornament of the one historical building in my city Bandung. The picture shown in this post is one building ornament from an old historical church building named as “Maranatha”. The ornament is a lamp hood/lamp cap or used to be a lantern???. Anyway the interesting is the use of modern lamp (fluorescent spiral tube lamp) inside the vintage things. Conclusion: You can see that there is still a good combination happen using a modern thing with the old one.

Beggar in The Public Park

This is not a single nation/country problem. Maybe this is the common problem for the whole world. Poverty is something that society must handle with. I just want to show you one of contradictive situation. When the park used to be a comfy safe park and then a beggar claimed the place as his/her living place so the situation became much more difficult for the park visitor and the park authority even for the local government. I tell you something, this picture is taken a long time a go (about two years ago) now the local government has decided to build the gate surrounding the park in order to protect the park from uncommon infiltration. A good solution??

PS:
-Photo taken at Halmahera Park In my city Bandung.
-Maybe later if I have a wider lens, I’m going to take the park picture.
