Don't Panik – Eugene's little blog
Food, travel and Photography
Back from LT, a bit tired and heaty from too much sun exposure and sheer fun. Good food, sun, sea and beach and most of all, great friends. You don’t need much to really have a great time. Here’s a little teaser photo…
It’s Saturday finally. Considering the long week, Saturday took a long time in arriving. A super-filled day with lots of activities, some of which involve quite a bit of muscle work, and delivery. Then it’s off for last minute shopping in 1 Utama for more food for my upcoming trip. A fun-filled day but it’s time to pack. Better not be forgetting stuff! Anyway, no entries for the next four days as I’ll be soaking it up in Lang Tengah island with the sand, sea and surf. Not to mention corals and lots of snorkeling to do.
Talk about outings, get-togethers, photo gear, tips, tricks and digital editing as well as post stuff you need to sell or check out some used equipment! You’ll need to be a WebAperture member and have posted at least one photo before you can use the forums.
Recently, I received a few photos of Urumqi, China and they look like standard EOS-20D photos. Not that there’s anything wrong with them but when we take photos, realistic is usually not on our minds. Ignore digital manipulation for a bit here; we’ve been maipulating how our photos look like for a long time. When we choose a specific film, we’re already altering what the REAL picture looks like. Some film like Fuji’s Velvia for example tend to be very saturated with deep greens and blues. I find that the EOS-20D’s out-of-camera JPEGs are a tad undersaturated and soft.

Just four more days (not counting today) of torture before I head off for four lovely days under the sun, coconut trees with beautiful corals, beaches and water… and most of all, no work and kuman.
