Olympus E-620 Preview and Nikon D3X In-Depth Review

This may not be the latest piece of news, but I am still sharing it here at allenang.com. On 24th February, Olympus had just announced the E-620 among their product line. Olympus E-620 is of upper entry-level DSLR, packed with 12.3MP sensor, and it brings features from the recently introduced E-30 in a body nearer the size of the E-420. The →


Random

Random update. I was browsing through the recent photos I have taken, and only to realize that I do not have much portrait shots of late. I should start shooting a concept shots. Hmm. Yea, maybe that can be my next project. :D Anyway, let's take a look at the randomness of this post, from Spider in the wild to a corner →


Make Up @ Stage

I was browsing through photos in my hard drive, and found this. I shot this pic late last year. Wanted to capture this kind of composition for a long time already, but there wasn't much opportunity. Then, I happened to see this with my camera in hand, so I just aimed and shot.        All I have to say is, I wish →


Leona Chin in Kuching

These photos are pretty darn old. It's taken back in October 2008. Leona Chin was here in Kuching, when she paid a visit to Boulevard Shopping Mall at 4th mile, Kuching.           Camera man from RTM All photos were taken with EOS 450D.


DCIM Show 2009

To all shutterbugs out there, you guys should take note of this. Digital Camera Magazine and Velocity Media are working together to present us their very first photo trade expo, which is known as Digital Camera, Imaging and Media Show 2009!  Venue is set at Hall 2, Mid Valley Exhibition Center (MVEC), and the expo runs from 27 - 29 →


Go Bald Campaign

I happened to be there when this event took place. People were lining up to get their head shaved, for good course. They did their part in raising fund for the SCCS.   I spotted few familiar faces there, which you will see in the photos in this entry. Meanwhile, I was there simply to support my cousin, who sign up to →


Flowerly Saturday

I was out for a not-so-planned shoot yesterday, and here are some shots of a flower. I'm not too sure what the flower type is, but it sure makes me thinking about macro photography for a moment. :P And, No, I'm not going into Macro photography yet. :P     This one is cropped off from the original.     All shots were taken with aperture set →


Bokehism

  Showing a little bit of bokeh presence today. EF 50mm f/1.8 at f/1.8. I hope to get over my BUSY mode asap. 


Eiffel Tower?

  Apparently not. But the sky was nice, sun sure sets fast. It's gone even before you know it. I am pushing myself to completion of all the tasks in my hand. I'm truly sorry if any request is not attended with the quickest response, but I guarantee you that all these will change once things are all resolved at my end.


Come nearer and I’ll jump!

    It was by chance when I saw this grasshopper stopping at edge of the platform the other day. Then I decided to make use of the 'macro' capability of my lens. Hehe.. of course, this nothing if you compare it to the real macro lens. 


It has been a long day…

I'm back into BUSY mode again. It has been a long day for me, so much work to do. So, I have to revert to a one-pic-post again.    I'll make an exception here, by posting 2 photos. It's actually duplicate of the same photos, but saved in different compression. One, I saved it in "Safe for web & mobile device", whilst →


Photoshoot at Four Points by Sheraton

The sky was clear, the sun was just nice, and I was visionary about doing a shoot in front of Four Points Sheraton. I tried few snaps, and I couldn't get what I wanted. I lost inspiration at that point. Then I suddenly had another idea!   While Louis and Frankie, who joined us not long shortly after Louis and I arrived, →


Amazing Cloud

  It was much like scene in the disaster movie from Hollywood production, i.e. ID4, Twister, Day After Tomorrow, etc. It was really amazing to see those details in the cloud with your naked eyes, but at the same time, these clouds are the ones who killed my plan for sunset shot. -_-"


It wasn’t quite a lonely Valentine’s Day after all…

As I may have a valentine date in this NiangZi (娘子 pinyin: Niáng Zi).. :D    She looks very cute, no?     And most importantly, she fits in my hand well.      Hehe.. Just fooling around. I got this cute NiángZi from my friend's wedding. How was your V-day?


Four Points by Sheraton

I wanted to upload more photos I shot at the same day, but the bulk uploader doesn't seem to load. The sky was beautiful that evening, which prompted me to do this shoot that day. Here are two of few from that day.      More to come soon.     Another HDR from allenang.com


Happy Valentine’s Day

allenang.com wishes everyone Happy Valentine's Day!     祝天下有情人终成眷属。


Light Trails at Simpang Tiga

Ah.. I haven't been able to post anything for the past 2 days. Gosh! I have been quite packed with my schedule latel, as I am focusing on completing my task at work. Hence, I have been posting so many one-picture posts lately.    Anyways, here are the selected shots from that night. I didn't manage to get many shot, for that →


Four Points Preview

Me and Louis went to shoot some photos around the evening time, as he wanted to shoot around the newly constructed Four Points Hotel. Frankie joined us soon after I gave him a call.    Here's one for the preview. :D     Ah.. I know, the after-CNY-effect is kicking in. I need to do something about that. More of the shots will come, this →


Megan Fox Digital Painting

I used to love sketching on my sketchbook, or any piece of paper I can find. And, human portraiture has always been my favorite subject. But when I see this, I'm amazed by how this is done. I wish I can try that one day.


Light Trails

There was a turn for the weather in Kuching, as there isn't as much rain as we have seen in the past 2 weeks. At least we got to see more of the blue patches in the sky yesterday, and could more warmth from the sun yesterday.   Since the weather was a little bit too hot for me yesterday, I've decided →


Olympus

This is for you, Robin. :D     Your favourite Oly! :D   [Update] .... and the owner.. :D  


The Dark Casts in Future..

  I have some entries pending for posts, and I promise to post them up soon, after I clear the things on hand ASAP. I hate the dark clouds these days, they just cast more doubts on you.    雨过该会天晴吧?   Image Note: These photo was taken not long after I got my EOS 50D. I wanted to test sports photography with my 50D. I →

雨一直在下

Rain, rain, rain.... it just doesn't stop, does it?     The downpour was really heavy, and it only got heavier when I was about to leave for home last night. The clock stroke twelve, and the City was soaked in rain. Some of the roads were clogged by overflowing water, and there are worries among the folks in the city where flood →
