This Is Me

The moment is here.

I finally bought my DSLR.

My passion for photography goes as far as when I was a primary school student.

I remembered vividly during the CCA orientation session. Every CCA had their own booth and we had to basically sign up for whatever CCA tickled our fancy.

I was standing the middle of the hall and glancing through all the CCA booths. Students were chattering and moving from booth to booth trying to learn about each CCAs. The photography club seems to entice me the most. I scoffed and walked towards the badminton booth instead.

As much as I love photography, I didn’t join it photography CCA are lame. Students will be given cameras and taking photos of school events. For example, if we were having a children’s day concert in the hall. You would  tend to see students around the hall taking pictures and what not. I’m honestly not interested in that.

In any case, DSLR has always been expensive though they take amazing pictures. However, DSLR prices have been going down and becoming more affordable. I decided to take this opportunity to get myself a DSLR.

I head down to the Sony Style store in Wisma Atria. My mum sponsored me $300 and I got myself the A500. In my opinion, the A500 is far better valued compared to the A55o. I bought the camera and the lens kit. It cost $1,299.

Vertical Grip

I got the vertical grip and 8GB memory card as free gifts.

Since I was at Wisma Atria and ION is just beside it. I decided to head down to Sephora and pick up a new foundation from MAC Cosmetics.

The images above were taken with my Sony DSLR A500.

I wanted the MAC Face and Body but it’s a mac pro item in Singapore. I got the Mineralize SatinFinish instead. It is expensive. It cost $61 for a bottle of liquid that is like 30ML.

Anyways, it was a great day. I absolutely love my DSLR and I love my new foundation though I still wish I got the MAC Face and Body. The following are just some random shows I did with my new awesome DSLR.

I've always wanted to do this kind of shots.

My eyes ain't close. I'm just looking down.

I’m thinking of starting a new blog where it’s strictly limited to posting of photos daily or opening a deviantart account or a flickr account!

I’m not in an art course but i don’t mind studying photography. I’ve seen graphic tablet. They’re absolutely cool and they give you much more control for the strokes using computer especially Mac OS X.

I was talking to my mummy and i said loosely that i wanted a graphic tablet. I wanted it but i knew that my mummy wouldn’t buy it for me because i don’t need it for school more like for recreational purpose and it’s a waste of money. But but but guess what! She wants to buy it for me! 

Initially i suggested the Genius brand which is pretty cheap. It’s $60.00 for A6 size i think. She agreed to buy it for me. So i tried pushing my luck and said i wanted the graphic tablet from WACOM instead, which is a company that has built reputation for making durable graphic tablet over the years. Genius isn’t bad but it’s not well known to the graphic designer’s world. 

GUESS WHAT.

SHE AGREED TO IT. Moreover, i wasn’t serious. I mean i was like joking with her saying ohh i want those graphic tablet that is made mostly for those professionals. But whatever she agreed to it and I’m getting my WACOM graphic tablet!! Woohoo for Nazri! Now i’ll be able to play the touch surface on my computer like denise’s tablet pc!

WACOM isn’t cheap. Their cheapest tablet, the size of A6 cost $139.00 And of course i bought the cheapest. Anyway, my mummy ordered online because she was lazy buy it from the store. They don’t sell it in the east area. It’s sells in places like Funan IT Mall, Challenger at harborfront, IT store at orchard and so on. It’s pretty far.

Obviously, you’ll be thinking like are you dumb? Genius is way cheaper and genius’s graphic tablet has a pressure sensitivity of 1024 whilst WACOM’s lower end graphic tablet has a pressure sensitivity of 512. That means, like a coloring on a paper, the harder you press, the more color there is instead of those white grains in it. But yea, with different pressure settings, possibly we’ll have more control instead of clicking and stroking using a mouse.

With a flash of her credit card, the transaction is done. It’s gonna be delivered to the house in 3 days time! I’m waiting anxiously. 

This is mine! WACOM Bamboo, $139.00

This looks way nicer because it’s white and it’ll match with my MacBook. Anyway, it’ WACOM’s Bamboo Fun. The size is exactly the same exactly as above but it includes a mouse that will only work on the tablet. It cost $189.00 Yes, i know it’s retardedly expensive. Moreover, Bamboo Fun’s pen has an eraser at the end which means you can erase your mistakes of with just a flip of the pen!(And some stroking)

12.1″ LCD Screen. $1999.00

21.3″ LCD Screen that you can swivel it around. Price: SGD$4890.00

LOL YES IT’S $4890.00. Kamelia wants this baby.

Anyway, when i think about it, I’m an amateur in photoshop, illustrator, flash and so on. I don’t think i really need it other then for ‘fun’ but whatever.

Mummy has been weird these days. She’s been especially nice to me. The other day she wanted to spend $60 on SPORE. It’s a Mac/PC game that was developed by Maxis, who also developed the all-so-wonderful Sims 1 and 2.

PRETTY!

MINEEEEEEEEE!!

And the weird thing is that i haven’t thank my mummy. HAHA. I will, once the package arrives.

P.S. Who doesn’t love Les Choristes?
