My New Gadgets… Olympus E-3

Categories: My I.T., My Photography's and Olympus E-3

During the Kuala Lumpur Photography Festival 2008 at Berjaya Times Square, i had bought this new gear. Well i had been thinking of it quite long time ago, i had also study and survey others DSLR cameras too. Especially now my company are using the Nikon D300, i love the camera model, but is not that convenient for me to bring along so many lens while travelling.

And also i found this model is the most similiar or closest specs with my recent camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50. Now i had to sell this camera off to obtain another telephoto lens, really hardly for me to say goodbye to FZ50 (T T)

I won’t introduce much about this camera, since that i haven’t mastered to use it yet! Here are some of the reviews and specs, just click on it: Olympus E-3

Lastly, some of the shoots i made this days. I did use the FL-50R Flash Gun too, still got more technique to learn!

I was so excited to test my new camera on this event, but the end i made up a mistake! I don’t have any bloody zoom lens~

Madness Shooters!

Raymond Lam & Vincy

Liew View Mode

The place is too packed & difficult for me to screw in for taking more close up photos, end up i rather stand behind and take some photos of my friends. Here are some test shoots by using the camera built-in flash! (my external flash been borrow to Fattien)

ah kwong & Min Yin

Eri?!

For most of the event like promo tour, fashion shows, live concert and others. This small little stools are very useful, you can step your foot on to it and will be taller than anyone else about 2 feet. I will consider to get one of this if i’m ready for this sort of photography! And also, the live view cameras is getting more & more… kinda blocking ler!!!!

The most wanted to visit in this Bangkok city, Erawan Shrine. The four faces budhha! You can take the sky walk or from the BTS to the exact location, it is also very near to most popular shopping centre. From the sky walk view, here is the places:

The Erawan Shrine

We walked in to the small park, it was crowded and many visitors keep coming in to pray or making their fortune wishes. Hehe… should i make one?

Golden Painted

Blessings~

Erawan Shrine is well known for granting wishes for success in love, examinations and the lottery(of course). You may also wish to ask for blessings by buying incense, candles and flowers and the uttering a short prayer for good luck!

Random Shots

The Crown

Min Yan & Jesse

Well, we are also very busy in taking photos. Many interesting stuffs over this small little place, crowded & also lots of smoke indeed.

Action Shootings

Praying

Childs Play

After the busy, smooky & hottest sessions, we decided to go MC Thai to cool~ down ourselves!

Anston & Jesse

Only one thing i would like to say is, the price over here is more expensive if compared to our local MC! Funny isn’t it? But the insides interior and furnishing very nice and comfortable!

We are SATISFIED!

Last week on the Raya Holiday eve, i was suddenly came out this idea to visit this restaurand, as been told by Nkwai when he show me the discount card. So i also ajak Lynn go test water. Is name Bumbu Bali Restaurant, located at Bandar Puteri, Puchong.

The Dine Room

First step into this restaurant i feel like very relaxing, are you feeling like in Bali? The interior design of the restaurant was in dark and yellowish lightnings, displayed many culture statues & old traditional furnitures. They also hang many photos and articles about Bali. It was my travel list to go, but couldn’t make it liao for next year (T T)

Some Photos

The Toilet Sign

Old Fashion Staircase

I think most of the Balinese local foods can be seen over here, most is hot and spicy! We look over the menu, luckily Nkwai knows which is the best. So let him recomend lor, but comes to end, my dish is over size liao! Is H~U~G~E!!!

Ayam Bertutu

X Meal?! Some Western Grilled…

Mine is big enough to serve 2pax, especially the rendang chicken got into 2pc. Taste awesome, hot and very spicy! The chips were best than those in mamak stores, haha! Very yummmmmmy~

As for Nkwai one is X meal, forgotten then name liao! But is taste great too, it looks huge~ Well overall the foods over here seems to be the same big, don’t think about how much u will pay, just order! You won’t regret!!

Remark: Planning to go again? I would prefer day time

We had a good sleep, but not for the girls, they met “something” on the night. Hehe… We gather then decided to have a peaceful walk on the town, walk over the shopping mall. We found this small, cute & weird transportation: Tuk-Tuk

The guy was asking us where to go, we actually wanted go to Siam Square. Then he firstly offered 20Baht for 4 person, but the condition is have to go one place 1st to collect the petrol voucher for him. I sense suspisious, but he said the place oso got many tourist and many things to shop around. Finally we said: OK lor~

Camwhore on the ride!

This is my first time sitting on Tuk-Tuk, the three wheels taxi car or motorbike! They also called Samlors, they are fun for short trips ride, please negotiate the fare before boarding.

The Driver

The Best Tuk-Tuk in town?!

We came to this place, a huge white building: GEM Production Co. LTD. Exporter, Wholesaler, All kind of Gems and Any Karat Gold Jewelry. Inside is the factory of the production, you can have a visit to see how the workers doing there. From a normal or ugly stone turned into beautiful and valuelable cyrstal rings & necklace.

For guys information, if you wanna find something cheap or affordable price to your dearest, pls come here, very cheap man! hehe… (^ ^)v

We went to the Discovery Center, is nice and high end departmental stores. I was finding LOFT because my boss did asked me to visit & do some homework lor. Surprisingly this shop got more latest design and more features than ours in KL. is a Japanese departmental stores but lots of stuff to browse around!

LOFT in Discovery Center

Later we need to look for food, because we haven’t taken breakfast yet. So by not choosing outside stalls, we go to have some steamboat. Is nice to have something hot & spicy during the rain outside, delicious & yummy~
