mari belajar tangkap gambar

Skrg ni tengah semangat nak belajar tangkap gambar. Sama mcm cik fizz..hehe.

hari2 dok menelaah e-book fotografi (books courtesy of awi, tq!). Seronok plak blaja sendiri ni..mmg mengamalkan konsep self-study n lifelong learning tul.haha. tp tula, dah terbiasa agaknya, or maybe org yg terdedah dgn budaya akademik ni, bile belajar, mesti nak kene ade buku. mesti nak bace basics die. kalau boleh setiap butang n function yg ade kt kamera tu, nak tau ape mendanya. mesti nak tau what, why, how etc. so membacala keje hari2 seminggu dua ni. bace bukan setakat 1 buku je, 2-3 buku, then ditambah lagi dn website2 n forum2 online pasal fotorafi..punyela nak pandai... well at last boleh dikatakan teori tu dah cover gakla..ISO, aparture (btl ke spelling?) shutter speed, dah tau la sket2.

tapi when it comes to composition, framing, sume tu, bace banyak mana buku pun takkan pandai. yg kelakarnye, kekadang info dalam buku2 yg dibaca tu bercanggah antara satu sama lain. contohnya, masa kite nak compose our picture, ade buku yg kate mesti n tak boleh tidak kena follow the rule of thirds ( kaedah utk letak main object kite masa nak tangkap gambar). ade pulak buku lain yg kate rules are meant to be broken..hahaha..pening2. last2 i've decided, OK, cukup setakat tu, masa utk belajar secara hands-on. so i picked up the camera n tangkap la gambar banyak2..ops sebelum tu ade kene marah sekali dgn missD sebab tanya die ada tak website yg ajar cara short-cut utk pandai tangkap gambar? hehehe..tensen missD dengan kemalasanku...

So now i'm concentrating on how to take potrait picture indoor (yerla, dok dlm rumah je kat sini..so no choice la, kena pilih indoor) n satu lagi atas saranan missD, tangkap gambar makanan. tang gambar makanan tu mmg xde masalah nak tangkap. tapi tang potrait tu...masalah betul! sebab model2 free yg ada kt rumah ni susah nak bekerjasama. baru nak snap gambar dah bergerak, gambar pun blur la jadinye...tutup muka la, menangis la, nak pegang kamera la..macam2! hehe.

takpe...masa sangat baaaanyakkk for me to learn photography. bukan nak jadi pro pun, hanya sekadar hobi, utk tangkap gambar famili, sebagai kenangan :)

model yg ni suke sgt tutup muka or buat aksi2 yg ntah ape2



model ni plak suke sangat bergerak, n nak pegang kamera

antara shot yg susah nak dapat..dua2 dok diam. ops, gambar ni telah di crop (for better composition.ayat buku tu... jgn main2.hehe) dan dibetulkan lightingnya menggunakan Picasa :)

baru perasan..xpernah letak gambar adik lg kt blog ni..huhu. kat my fb banyakla gambar die.

my 2nd daughter ni cepat betul perkembangannye. umur 2 bulan dah meniarap, umur 5 bulan dah merangkak. sekarang ni nak masuk 6 bulan, dah mula nak berdiri plak..cepat betul! mungkin berkat fully breastfeed kut? ataupun die dok tgk kakak die, pastu tak sabar2 nak kejar kakak die, tu yg nak cepat berjalan tu kut.

die punya suara pun boleh tahan kuatnya bila menangis. lambat je sikit layan start la radio die tu..ummi die je blh pujuk laktu! kadang2 geram jugak. yela, kite dok sibuk nak buat keje, nak masak ke, nak sidai kain ke or nak uruskn kakak die ke, pastu tibe2 die dok nangis2 nak dilayan, nangis sekuat hati laktu, kalau org dengar, mesti ingat kene dera ke ape ke..hehe.

ape pun saaaaaaayaaaangggg adik banyak2!

well, here she is, budak kecik yg suka nangis tuu..

snoww

Some snowy view around our flat

eh..eh..salji la!

Harini ade salji turun.. actually it's been snowing since late last night. kebiasaannye, sini takde salji tapi winter kalini dah 2 kali dah salji lebat.. orang sini kate disebabkan global warming..ntahla, mungkin jugak! ape pun, seronok tgk salji kt luar tu..everything looks white and cold..(tgk dari ringkap rumah jela..nk kuar takleh, hubby xde, gi school). according to forecast, salji akan turun sampai malam kang..hopefully dapatla tgk salji kt luar ptg kang.hehe

kali pertama tgk snow haritu, jakun betul! masa tu baru lepas mandikan qyst, tgh siap2kan die pakai baju, tgk2 kat luar tingkap ade benda putih turun,macam hujan..tp mcm pelik jer..tgk2 balik br terpikir ape bendanya. pastu ape lagi trus jerit, "eh! eh! snow la!" time tu tggl bertiga je ngan anak2, husben gi kedai, so excited sorang2 jela, sambil qyst n adik dok pelik tgk ummi die heppi tak tentu pasal..orang kampung chemor, first time tgk snow..jakun la jugak..kwang3. ape pun, subhanallah..camni rupenye snow ye! mmg kagum. besar sungguh kuasa Allah..

lepas husben balik trus cepat2 pakai baju tebal n turun bawah, nak main snow la kunun..sekali, sampai je kat luar,tgk2 snow dah abis...tp sempat gakla tangkap gambar, posing2 sikit n pegang snow.. pastu qyst pun dh nangis2 sejuk agaknye, lepas tu hujan lak turun, terpaksala naik atas balik..huhuhu. takpela, asalkan dapat tgk n pegang snow for the first time :)

2 days before christmas aritu ada heavy snow, tp malam.. ramai org dekat area ni keluar main snow, siap main baling2 snowball lagi. tp kiteorg tak keluar..kalau ikutkan hati memang nak keluar, tp kesiankan budak2...sejuk sgt, lgpun malam2..dierg pun dah ngantuk time tu..so again, tgk dari dlm rumah jela...

anyway, hopefully today dapat turun, tgk snow. dapat tangkap gambar pun ok dah. bukan nak main sangat pun..nak tangkap gambar je sebenarnye.. (my new hobby, menangkap gambar, baru nak belajar, tak pandai lg) for now, tangkap gambar dari tingkap rumah jela..huhu

right now salji tgh turun sgt2 lebat! kagum2...subhanallah!

 Sian..tiap kali snow, patung santa n snowman depan flat kiteorg ni mesti tumbang. kalini due2 tergolek, pengsan agaknye,sejuk sangat.hehe

2010..Perantau

Phew..it's been a long..long time and it's a new year. Happy New YEar!! this year everything is different.  my hubby is doing his phD in liverpool starting december last year. yup, we're in liverpool now, trying to adjust in this new life, new weather, new environment :)

we safely arrived here on the morning of 29/11/09. the journey here was very tiring. it's definetly hard, flying for about 15 hours straight and it was even harder travelling with two babies..but alhamdulillah, we got through it and here we are! 

my 2 girls are beginning to adjust to the cold winter weather. they've passed through the fever/flu phase, alhamdulillah. both of them had fever on the 1st week here, qyst with a scary 40 deg C fever, which caused us to rush her to the clinic (thanx to a friend). adik, on the other hand i think has a stronger immune system. she only had fever of 38 deg C and was better after taking some pcm. now the girls are fine, and don't seem to be bothered much with the cold weather. maybe it's true what they say that children do adjust quicker to new environment thn adults.

as for me..well, i'm a full time housewife now (my dream job btw). everyday is a busy day with these 2 active children. especially now, adik wants to cling with me all the time! and she likes to cry! manja betul..

to tell you the truth, living here is way different than m'sia and it's not just the weather. everything is different.  the house, the way of living, the people, the language, everything! it was challenging starting a life here, but alhamdulillah, the were many kind saudara semalaysia that helped us a lot. without their help, i don't think that we can survive here..

now we are ready to face all the upcoming challenges in the new year,insyaAllah.

ps:- having high IELTS band does not make you a fluent english speaker. i happened to experience that first hand here.tonggang terbalik speaking ngan mat saleh.hahaha
