Sarawak Regetta 2011

Posted on September 19, 2011 by allen

Sarawak Regetta has become an annual event on the calendar year for Kuching, and it could only do all good as it attracts people from all around the word. I was glad not to have missed the water action on the conclusion day for the event.

I am always thrilled to be able to capture sport actions, it must have something to do with my addiction to sports channel (i.e. ESPN, Starsports) since young. Equipped with only 70-200mm f/4L USM, I was pleased with what I have captured on the day. I didn’t have any special passes, and I didn’t have lens which have long enough reach to capture the action up close!

I still have to crop this images out, despite that the equivalent reach on my cropped body (EOS 50D) is about 360mm. Otherwise, I will be struggling to get a decent composition.

Stars of Florida crew put up a great show at the Sarawak River at the Sarawak Regetta Event which concluded on Sunday.

There are a few more to come from the event right after this. I shall spend some time to sort the final images before posting them here. So, please stay tuned for more updates.

Another filler entry to my blog. I’m still trying the caption style within the images. This image was shot with 50mm f/1.8, with ambiance lighting, with the aperture opened at maximum aperture. On the other hand, I have ordered new item from Shashinki.com, yet again.

This time round, I decided to expand on the wireless flash triggers. I have lost my previous one, a YingHe Cactus which is similar to this Phottix Tetra, while shooting one of my recent assignments. Instead of getting a replacement in Phottix Tetra, I have ordered Phottix Aster, 1 transmitter 3 receiver. The Cactus PV-4′s transmitter is somewhat compatible with the Phorrix Aster. However, I was not able to define which channel to trigger from the Cactus transmitter (NOT Phottix Aster’s).

While searching for this model, I came upon this new wireless trigger by Phottix. It is said that this model is compatible with Pocketwizard Plus II 433 Mhz. This model is Phottix Atlas Transceiver, which cost RM355.00 per unit at Shashinki.com. However, it’s cheaper to order 3 units a bundle per order at only RM1,015.00, which is about RM338.33 per unit.

I’m definitely interested to order a set of Phottix Atlas. It is a cheaper alternative to Pocket Wizard. No doubt about it.

I shall take that into serious consideration.

Saturday Afternoon – 19/06/2010

This post is pretty random in every way you see it, just posting some of the things I saw and bought yesterday.

I’ve got myself a Rubik’s cube, as a birthday present, for myself. I have been thinking of getting one for a while now. I’m starting with a 3×3 challenge, and I am currently studying the algorithm to solve this puzzle. Not too bad, after trying the algorithm, today sponge reviews, I’ve managed to solved two layers, and the last one is quite tough!

Albeit the strange results in South Africa, I truly appreciate this gift from my friend Jeannie. She brought this all the way back from UK. Thank you!

Also, I had a shutter therapy that very afternoon as well. Hopefully I can post some up by tonight. Time to go to work again.

Ciao!

It’s still going to be filler entry for now, as there is still so much pending things to be cleared. Meanwhile, just bear with the fillers a little longer. I’m attempting something different in editorial this time round. I feel that I’ve still got so much more to learn. One of the bloggers I know who has done so well in this caption editorial is none other than Smashpop, and Rames, and their gang.

There are quite a few sets of photos pending for editing and delivery. Till next entry.

I’ve been away..

I have been busy, and have not been able to do any update here for the past month. It was pretty crazy last month, and especially the past couple of week. I have not been able to post a follow up entry on the Sandisk’s feedback!

All those will be sorted out soon, as my schedule runs a little easier from now till early July.

Here’s a photo which goes with this entry.

I shot this during one of my recent wedding day assignment. The image came straight from EOS 50D’s JPEG compression, and straight upload without further enhancement or post processing.
