Alpha, You've Disappointed Me... Same to you SONY...!!!

During the photoshooting at the paddy field, found out there's a huge dust in front of my 18-200 lens... Assuming it was in between the UV filter and the lens, I removed out the UV filter and tried to blow away the dust by using blower. Looks like the dust is in the lens..!!! WTF..! I wonder how such a huge dust can enter into the lens..! Ridiculous..!

I was just about to celebrate 1 month old of the lens but... "masuk kilang pulak..." Sigh... Frankly, I'm very disappointed with SONY ALPHA product... Not only cheap finishing, but also poor QC... Old granpa minolta lenses also have better quality and solid-built, serious shit...! I can accept minor dust, but not such a huge dust like that..!!! I wonder what will enter into the lens next... Armpit hair..? Pubic hair..?

p/s: -1 for you SONY ALPHA

The grain is about to turn yellow. Another 1 month, the paddy will be riped... If there's a chance, hope I could be there to view it...

The weather machine... Thanks to Wonderboy who introduced this GND filter... Really effective to bring out the details of the sky which usually over-exposed.

Then the next stop was near to a factory. I think this is the only empty brown ground you can find there... Therefore, the ground looks very outstanding as we had too much of greens...

I wonder how they can manage such a huge field.

Sekinchan Paddy Field Again, Again & Again... (Part 1)

Hei ya... Seems like it's been a long long time you don't see green in my blog... LOL... So last week, I went to "cuci mata" with Wonderboy, Enigmaz, Sam and a group of Cari forumers... I mean "cuci mata" in a good way la dei, not the yellow wan..

So it was the 27th of April... Started our journey from Klang by 0600 and arrived to Sekinchan paddy field again by 0700... So many times at there for shooting but it's still fun coz there're millions of angles you can choose from... You can refer to my paddy field series.


Early in the morning for sunrise... it was misty, not haze ya.. ;)
