I took a photo-walk-about into a nearby forest reserve here in Norwich. Park’s called Mousehold Trap. Its quite a serene place to just go for a walk, and free the mind from all the madness that is going around the world. Since my thoughts were more or less being wiped out, or was more like being reset… its kinda calm now. Here’s some pics taken while I was lost in the lush or greeneries.
Ok… since I’m a lil rush to go out… so I’ll just make a quick note on this shot. It was taken in this place called Little Broad somewhere near the Norwich Train Station… ahh… details later… gotta go now. (TO BE CONTINUED…)
Ok… my Timbalands finally gave up on me after a loyal 5 year service. It has been one of my favourite shoes that I have been wearing all these years… kinda sad to have to chuck it aside. To be honest, the boots are still in good condition externally. But the internal soles are a big time goner. It even start to hurt my feet as it tend to make me walk sliding at an angle which is not a normal way to walk. Still, it has been a very good pair of boots.
So… I got down to Chapelfield and started to hunt for a nice pair of shoes. Faridz was tagging along as well since I wanna chill out with him at Border’s Starbucks. End up doing some shopping and bought a set of comics which is about Zombies and stuff like dat. Its been a long long time since I last read a comic.
Went up to a Timberland store and apparently they had some sales going on. Saw some classic TBL boots but it was waaaaaaaay freakin expensive. Classics cost about GBP120 easy! Then I came across some really neat ones… unfortunately no size for me - sigh!
So we went on and scouted for more options at other shops… ended up in this store and I bought a nice pair…limited ed Timberland boots. (refer to pic), and Faridz got a different pair as well. All in all, it cost me GBP59… its expensive… but for a Timberland which can last for ages… I guess its gonna be worth it! Heh!!
Will be wearing it from now on… Its been pretty much quite comfy for a new shoe to be worn for the whole day….yet to suffer any kinda new-shoe-blister-effect yet (which of course I certainly hope I wont be hit by such a blister!! LOL )…and yeah these photos of the boots were taken by meself 
Ok. I’ve got some news that the moon would be dead full and very near to this violence-filled earth a couple of nights ago. So, a plan was drawn up to head up somewhere really dark to do some moon shooting. It wasn’t until about 10pm plus before I could actually see the moon.
Ah-wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (something like the werewolf’s howl)
Boy the moon was really round! Its huge. Its round. And its simply fascinating. Daniel and I got into my car and we headed right off for our hunt. It didnt take long before Dan sugested we head up to Mulbarton (hope I didnt get the name wrong), which is a small lil’ town in a rural area - almost halfway to Lotus, Hethel. Found a nice sweet spot. Parked the car. And next thing we know, we were setting up our cameras on tripods.
I shot quite a number of pics. But just a few which turn out to be nice. Here they are. Cheers!
Dannngg! Its me and my faithfull 4 sided walls again (and that one door and a half opened window)… Holllllaaa!!
Freakin weather just turn freezin cold again. Well not freezin - but its freakin chilly cuz prolly I was used to the summer heat, when this cold front just sweep in. Kinda stoned tonight…
Kinda stoned tonight… (yeah I know its a repeat - just to show how stoned i am)
Kinda sto… bah dunwan to repeat la…
Just wondering how are things in Malaysia now…
Sigh… I miss roti canai banjir and teh tarik…
Macha!!!!
Gua mau tidur…
Adios - keep it real aight!
Okay, as much as I do know that cars arent really a thing for a lot of you who are gonna view this pic; I just cant help it to shoot this souped up TOYOTA Supra. It belongs to this chap called Daniel Lai.
So I set up my make-shift studio to fit this monster to have a nice photo shoot. Since the color of the body of the Supra is dark navy blue with nice contrasting decals… I decided to use a dark background for the shoot. The "theme" I was looking for is something which is somewhat dark and mysterious… somehing not too revealing of the car. I had to control the lighting throughout the whole shooting. And this is what I ended up with at the end of the day.
Kinda happy with the results I obtained to be frank…
especially if…
and only if…
…

You really believe that this is a true car. Which of course its not. Its a model. A toy car. 
Cheers!
I observed this nice looking field which was just mowed down and the hay being packed while I was on my way to office a couple of days ago. It came to me in an instant that it would make a good scene for a shoot. Thus, I went down on Friday… right after office to shoot this.
The day was kinda dry (it still is!) and hot, so I didnt stay for as long as I intended to. Scorching sun was almost unbearable… luckily some of the shots taken in a haste turns out to be in my taste.
It was overall a quick shooting session with Daniel, since he brought along his camera as well. I guess I can start considering photography as some form of addiction now… so as with any kinda addiction… quickies are necessary! Wahaha!!
Cheers!
I love to shoot macro once in a while…especially when the subject is full of vibriant colors. Well… was shopping for some groceries a while ago, and ended buying some strawberries.
It just came to me in a flash when I was eating them in the bloody hot evening that I gotta try shooting the colors and textures of the fruit that’s goin into my mouth. I guess the determination came from some strawberry bits that was stuck between my teeth (eww you say?!).
Dashed up to my mini-studio… set up some props and wahhh-laahh! The shot was done by placing a sliced strawberry on some crumpled aluminium foil (which I normally use as a light reflector). Converted from RAW and adjusted the normal stuff like curves and levels in PhotoShop.
Well… gotta keep on biting ‘em now…
Went down to Snetterton Race Track today with Zamir… thanks to Daniel for the free tickets (Cheers! Hooray!). Well it was a good day out; a sun shinny day (which is why I am a couple of tone darker now - sigh!). As usual, I brought along my trustworthy camera to shoot some action photos of those exotic cars. Well in fact I was hoping that some Ferrari might crash out or something like that… It would be even more dramatic if I get to see some Porsche crashing into a DB9. We’ll see…
The race event is suppose to start by 9am. However, due to some late nights and both Zamir and I was sorta reluctant to watch those warm up session… we finally came to a point to start moving out by about 10.30am. The drive to Snetterton from Norwich took approximately 25 minutes or so.
Engine’s roar greeted us as we entered the race circuit. Drop the window and passed the tickets to the security fellas… I swear the feeling was somewhat familiar to that of what you see in The Fast & The Furious : when they start to roll into the race circuit entrance. Ok… crap aside… We found a place to park the car and within a matter of seconds we were already above some bumps to watch the race that was going on. While others were enjoying the sun, I was busy clicking away. Zamir was not left behind as he’s got my SONY W5 to play with and started shooting for some video clips as well.
We ventured around the area. It was well organized. Met some local LOTUS chaps who claim that this event is a much more "Civilized" ones cuz even visitors do get to go near the team garages… no one seem to violate and be a busy body around the mechanics. Cool…
Well the main attraction of the day is, of course, the British Grand Touring GP. Exotic cars of all kinds were there to compete. I saw a couple Ferraris, Porsches, Ascaris, Lotus’ and Corvettes. I might missed out some other real exotic cars’ names as well…
I dont really wanna go into the details of the race… cuz my brains were literally fried by the scorching hot sun while I was being trigger happy with my camera. In the end, one of the Ferrari won the race in the category it was in.
This photo was shot in Cromer, Northern Norfolk, just about a couple of days ago. Cromer has got this beach front which is accesible after going down a somewhat very steep 30′ sandy cliff.
I’m not too sure what these wooden blocks fencing are for… but they are there for a reason. There are only about 3 of them in the whole length of the coast (as far as I could see) of approximately 1km in length. No boats were tied to them, and the sea was rough with crashing waves everytime.
It bemused me to see the creation of man standing in a lengthy battle against the power of nature. The logs does show signs of wear, but it is obvious that the wood type is a very hard one, which could withstand salt water easily. So, its gonna take ages before they crumble and bow down to the power of the waves and the never-ending strength of nature.
