One day, 2 meaningful things...

One day, 1st August 2009...

2 meaningful things to me..

1 good, 1 bad...

Which one i want to tell first?

I think i want to tell the good thing first.. ;)

GOOD

Hmm.. on that day.. I met my new LOVE @ Pertama Complex...
Actually i've met her many times, but not in person..
But on that day..

I met her...
Holding her hands..
Caressing her body...
Spending a lot for her...
Just because I love her...

The best part is..
my mom gave her restu for my new love..
(terima kasih mak..)

You want to know who is she..?
See these 2 pictures... ;)

Hehehe.. yes.. u guest it right..
My new LOVE is my new Nikon D5000 DSLR camera...
It's my first ever DSLR camera!

I fell in love in photography after i have my first digital camera, Kodak C513..
Although I'm quite unhappy with its' performance mainly the picture quality, but it had me thinking and starting to think about owning a DSLR camera...

After a much thinking and researching, at first, I'm targeting a Nikon D60 or Canon EOS1000D..
A basic entry-level DSLR camera...
But, by April 2009, Nikon and Canon both released Nikon D5000 and Canon EOS500D..
Both D5000 and 500D has much less the same spec (i can say that both are intermediate entry level DSLR camera), but after considering the price, I'll go for Nikon D5000, and I'm a Nikonian now! ;)
(actually i do prefer Nikon at the first place..)

OK, what do i get?

• A Nikon D5000 body
• Nikkor VR Lens (18-55mm)
• A tripod (I upgrade/buy a more sturdy tripod, not the free one)
• A 4GB SDHC memory card
• An original Nikon camera bag
• A filter and LCD protector

All of these, I pay RM3060.. (maybe i can get a lesser price at a another place, but I think the range is not that big) and the service is good. I got one-2-one attention from the shopkeeper, thus I'm free to ask him anything that i need to know about owning a DSLR.

Yes, RM3k is a lot.. I would like to thank my mom for sponsoring rm2500 for my camera..
(terima kasih banyak2 mak.. sayang mak..)
and the addition, I add my PTPTN loan money...

I buy this camera, just not by the sake of buying it, but I need a SLR camera because I'm taking a credited co-curricular activity, which is Photography Skills 1 (those who come from uia know this, it is a CCAC subject). Thus, it's a requirement to take and pass this subject for me to graduate from this uni..

And one thing is, having a DSLR is not worthed if you only want to point-n-shoot your pictures..
There is a vast array of functions in DSLR that users can explore. Thus, you need the skills to play around your DSLR and take beautiful pictures. And by taking the class, I can add my knowledge and skills how to play around my DSLR. The most important thing is, it's FREE! ;)
(you know how expansive it can be taking public photography class outside..)

Enough talking, enjoy my first few shots of my Nikon D5000 camera.. ;)

From now on..
I need to take care this most precious posession of mine...
I can't imagine if my D5000 is stolen.. (May ALLAH protect me and that from happening.. Amin..)

And I need to improve my skills after this..
Do leave your comments after seeing the pictures.. ;)

Buah cempedak di luar pagar

Ambil galah tolong jolokkan
Saya budak baru belajar pakai SLR
Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan...

that's the GOOD part...

the BAD part?
