My another HDR Photo - Menara Public Bank

How to create? Just follow the following brief steps..
If you have a Digital Camera, take 3 photos with three different exposure.
Example EV+2, EV 0 , EV-2

Use a Adobe Photoshop or Photomatix Pro 3.
I personally recommend Photomatix Pro 3, it will more easier to use for amateur to create great HDR images.
Use the Software to merge the 3 different exposure photos.
After a HDR images is created, normally the image file is in 32bit, a normal Monitor can't display the color correctly, and the colors of the image will be very terrible and wash-put.
So we need to convert the image to 16bit or 8bit. So that our image can be display in our normal monitor.
For more understanding tutorial and information, you can google it yourself.
Is very easy, you can try it yourself.
Have Fun !!!

Discovering Backlit Subject

Canon 1000D's EF-S18-55

My suspicion is that many people are being limited by the above piece of advice
lighting your subject from the front and avoiding back lighting at all costs.
But...
Backlit images can show the delicacy of a subject...

The moment of Shutter Click... xD

I was nothing to do. So holding my camera and try to shoot some stuff where I can find around me.
Toilet?
Ya. Right.
For less then 10minutes...
These are my result = ="

Both Photos taken by Canon EOS 1000D's EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Shutter Speed 1/200
ISO : 100
Aperture: f/1.8
Metering Mode: Center Weighted Average
Note** Flash Enabled

Both of the photos are slightly out of focus, and the aperture is too large, and and create a shallow DOF, so blurry effect occur. Kinda ugly...
Will try again next time.

Any comment is welcome.

I love Movie.

Weekend, during afternoon, I was staying at house, don't feel like studying... So go for another movie again. This time I watched.

Madagascar 2 : Escape to Africa.

The movie is hilarious, no doubt. With more fleshed-out characters, crisper animation and more consistent humor, and I was laughing all the time while watching this movie.
The plot of the movie is about, the few characters in the poster above plan to fly back to New York. Unfortunately, the airplane run out of fuel and the plane crash landing in so mewhere of Africa, and Alex(Lion) meet back his parents... Marty meets others Zebra, Gloria meets others Hippos, Melman meets others Giraffe and the story goes on...

want to know more? fine nearest cinema and go watch yourself xD
I don't want to be a movie spoiler....

I am looking forward for another sequel, Madagascar 3 (comfirm). We sure want to see them make their way back to New York. It set to be released in 2011.
Gosh... another 3 years =="

I enjoy watching movies.... xD

Ryan will write again soon.

My first Ring

Every time I look at the ring. Remind me someone.
Two weeks six days.
Time Flies.
Though my heart bleed,
but...
Sometime I told myself I gotta pull myself together
I am don't know whether I did it or not.
But I know,
do what ever I want.

This ring, got nothing but sweet memories.
Will it come to the end?
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
