Broken Canon EF-S 55-250mm Lens Filter

Written by Nicholas Chan on June 2, 2010 – 1:34 am -

I have my Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens kept in a Lowepro lens case. Today I wanted to take it out to breath some fresh air and surprisingly saw that something’s not right, the lens cap is stuck with the filter. I had to take it out by force.

After taking out, this is what I saw. The lens UV filter is broken now and luckily there’s a filter. No idea how this happened, maybe is knock on something. Gonna go get a new filter soon. Shit, it’s cheap, but I am broke.

Away to PLKN (Day 65): Lomo and Fisheye

Written by Nicholas Chan on May 31, 2010 – 2:58 am -

One sad thing, I lost my Diana F+ kit plastic lens and now I only left with the fish eye lens, so my Diana F+ serve as my lomo fish eye camera. Here’s some shot.

Love the Ikea table lamp.

My workstation. Haha.

Junction to Gurney Drive. It’s Sunrise building at the back.

Myself inside the room. Cannot see anything also. Dark.

Furniture’s gallery and interior design studio. Check out Ethnic.

=========S.O.X. All-Stars Drum & Dance=========

A months of heat and S.O.X. camp, finally the most grand and most excited and most nervous part of the competition is here. It’s the Final of S.O.X. All-Stars Drum & Dance competition. Looking at After School’s Bang music video, it inspired me so much about cheerleading and all the girls are hot!

Who doesn’t like to see hot chicks? Or an awesome performance? Everyone like it! The final of S.O.X. All-Stars Drum & Dance will be held at bigger place this year at Stadium Negara on 5 June 2010. Bring all your friends, supporters, family, pom pom and everything to join the fun at the finale! You will like it. =)

Check out the website for more info.

Lomo on SPM

Written by Nicholas Chan on May 20, 2010 – 12:00 am -

Don’t play play. I brought my DSLR everyday during my SPM examination in 2009. But on the last day, I brought my Holga and Diana F+ lomography toy camera with me. I’ve decided and tried to shoot everything left in the roll and here are 3 that I’ve got.

Jing Min jump shot, Taken with Diana F+. Pretty cool right?

Arron with his Hyundai Sonata, fetching his friends back home. Taken with Holga.

Hock Sheng and Jerry after exam. You know what, the photo people didn’t scan this shot, I had to scan it myself, so the color is not so sharp. Self-scan also not bad right?

Away to PLKN (Day 50): Lomo on Chung Ling Sports Day I

Written by Nicholas Chan on May 16, 2010 – 2:30 am -

Last year’s Chung Ling High School Sports Day, I brought my Holga with me to school. Put in a roll of 120mm film and I shoot on the nice sunny day. It’s always the best to shoot on a nice sunny day, I like it.

People might thought I am weird a bit last time because hanging to camera, and one feel so toy-ish. But now, lomo toy camera is getting more and more camera. Do you know what’s a lomo camera?

Karate! You see the lights? It’s called light leak.

Mr Mohd Hafiz! My biology teacher in Form 5. Very good person. He was a flag man on the last year’s sports day.

Me.

Me, Min Xiang and Yong Seng.

I miss Chung Ling High School, but not really the sports day. Sports Day is always boring to me. Haha.

Away to PLKN (Day 16): Lomo #3

Written by Nicholas Chan on April 12, 2010 – 12:05 am -

At the very first time, when I knew about being chosen for PLKN, I was very scared. I was not sad, but scared, worried that how would I survive in the camp.

Jing Min during SPM 2009.

My mind go on and off for this PLKN. At first, I thought of going, Google a lot about it, then I didn’t get in the first batch, after a while, I didn’t feel like going already because the exciting feel went away, and then, I got news about being in the 2nd batch which is this batch that I am in currently, I become excited again. Friends who had went to, came back and told me about their experience and I felt not that bad afterall.

Arron and friend and his Sonata during SPM 2009.

Being bald is not what I worry (actually got dislike a bit, hehe), but being disconnected from the world and outside was what I worried. No Internet, no mobile phone, no radio. This sucks a bit. Although we are allow to use the mobile phone on weekend, but for sure the Google Nexus One is not with me. If I bring it, I scared it being stolen, and no camera mobile phone too! It must be camera-less phone. Sucks.

Somewhere inside school, the field, on a rainy day.

Then the next thing I worried was about gangsters inside, but I think nothing will happen if I do nothing to them. =)

Somewhere outside school.

15 days gone. Less than 85 more days to go! Yay.

Away to PLKN (Day 7): Lomo #2

Written by Nicholas Chan on April 3, 2010 – 9:00 am -

I don’t know how do I schedule my post, it just goes randomly and it’s very short, something not like I write usually. I want to keep my blog alive while I am away to PLKN, what’s PLKN? It’s Program Latihan Khidmat Negara, also known as, the National Service.

Toilet?

So, basically, I am in the army, a camp, with woods around, bathing cold water, marching and physical training everyday. ^^

Sale anyone?

Not easy to take lomo indoor because of the lighting and the shutter speed, you need to turn it to bulb mode and hold it on a steady hand to capture light into your film.

More sale.

More lomo coming up. Yoyo, everybody, I am not a hip hop kaki. I am being lame a bit right now.
