The success rate is quite low actually and total spent is $18.10 for film and developing + printing. Still, there are a few shots that are just fantastic. The scans I did are quite terrible, the print is so much nicer! I picked some to scan and upload.

Still not used to the viewfinder thats why some pictures are cut off. Strange.. I did get some sharp photos at the end cos of the rangefinder I started using. It really helps alot with the focusing cos it tells you the distance.

I like these:

Yep, so thats it for film. haha.. its quite an expensive thing to use all the time.. but I guess if i keep a roll inside and take photos less often, it’s probably worth it. I really like the dreamy effect it has sometimes. I think its the glass thats foggy. Haha.. I think there are some things film does that digital can never do. I like this!

This is one of those times when I wonder whether I shoud have waited just abit.

But any techie knows that you’ll never be done waiting.

Why I should have waited another 4 months includes

• Dedicated exposure dial
• Wider lens
• Digic-4
• Cheaper at $500usd

Why I don’t feel bad buying a G9 on Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 at 9:05 pm includes

• Getting it reasonably cheaper ($430usd)
• having a great 3 months (one month with my bro) of G9 goodness
• The progress isn’t much on the G10
  • 14.7mp??? enough with the useless pixels! down with the noise!
  • In line with the previous point, larger sensor please..
  • wideness is quite slight at 28mm
  • looking at it, I’m sure the viewfinder still cannot make it

So there.. haha.. until someone does a really good hands on test nobody really knows much about it yet. It looks cool though.. thats only cos it looks like the G9. hahahhaa…

Finished up my roll of film! Heh.. going to get it developed!

Did 4k. My 2.4 still not within passing time, its like.. 8m25s per km. I need to do about 5min/km to get a decent time. Now I think I got an idea of how slow I am.

Had a long long day starting at 6am until now. Met people, talked quite abit and now its time for rest. Thoughts about “The right response” has had me captivated for most of the day. Especially when its been called on for so many different situations great and small over the past weeks. “The right response” is simple to know yet so hard to do, especially when “the right response” is called on in a split second, bypassing the mind. “The right response” means many things in many contexts. “The right response” is called for, among other times,

• When treated unfairly
• When hearing news (good or bad or even when its none of your business)
• When annoyed
• When judging people

I think.. sometimes I need more thought as to what the right response is before I commit it to words.

Mainly, if love is lacking (1 Cor 13:1) my well-meaning words will mean nothing and my rants will become a destructive storm.

On an unrelated note, thank God for safety, not just my own. Haha.. we can only laugh in the face of danger past because of the God who has been merciful. We could have been missing a pastor on Sunday! haha.. O_o

Off to sleep.

Me and my bro made some notes on the malay guy.

And as a side note, I realised that the lensmate can be squeezed onto my olympus. Tried the circular polarizer.. I think I’m going back to change it for another.

I feel like I’m going to die if I don’t eat a maggi goreng now. Someone save me!

Ge: Eat this! Haha..

Its getting closer. Shall take advantage of your hurting foot to catch up. lol..

Saw this uncle with an $8000 Leica M8 Hanging around on his neck. That’s worth more than everything on me at that time! haha..

And a photo from dinner that day.
