I'm trying to find another alternative to watermark my pictures instead of the one that is plastered right across the picture...
The reason why I used such big watermarks is because I don't want my photos being downloaded and used without any credit given to me...
So yeah~

I'll see what I can do about the watermaking...
Until then it's still the big ones right across the pictures...

With that I end this post~

And this is new, they just built it recently.
Believe it or not!! It's a freaking dyno! In our own college!!
Well.. i'll explain, a dyno does a simulation of a car
running for a 3km or so. Then diagnostics are done.
Outside, 1 run could cost up to RM 1k.
So... we're blessed :D Specially built for Diploma in Motorsports Technology
Canon 500D w/ Canon 18-55mm at 18mm @ 1/125 seconds , f/3.5 , ISO 1600
Of course, there's a Lamborghini Spider Gallardo (I think)
The small one, at the workshop I go to everynight at the college.
We'll be doing CarbonFibre custom on it (--,) *grins!*
Well, that's all for the 'otto camp'. I will, of course, update on my
progress on the cars I custom every now and then.
Till then

Photography Outing @ KLCC (Day 2)


Day 2 of my photography outing with Richard @ KLCC was a very productive one~

We actually wanted to go up to the Skybridge today...
And there were tickets available...
But the earliest time available to go up was 6pm...
And I had to be back home by then...

So we decided not to go up to the bridge but just walk around the park AGAIN...
But this is where it gets interesting...
(you can just skip this part if you've already read about it at my personal blog)

There was this group of Malays (who were also photographers) asked whether we wanted to join them in their model photoshoot~
We were a bit hesitant at first...
But since this was a great opportunity to shoot some "real" models, get to know other photographers around Malaysia, learn some new things, and get some good exposure...
We decided to tag along...

It was a blessing in disguise...
If me and Richard had gone up the Skybridge we would've missed them...
They said they would call us if there is any event or photoshoot in the future~
So it was a good thing we didn't go up the Skybridge~

Anyway...
Without further a due...
Here are the photos from Nikki~
