There’s something jinxed about me. Tried to take some pictures at the Tour de Langkawi Stage 10 in Kuala Lumpur today, and it rained. Rather heavily actually, I’m sure if I had my D70 again at that time it would not survived. Luckily I was using an F4s.
The first roll of film went very fast. Had it on Continuous high, and I think its something like 5-6FPS, so you can finish a whole roll in 6 seconds. Had to use it becuase it was getting dark already and even with ISO400 film in the camera I was getting barely handholdable shots with f2.8. The rest of the second roll of Provia was shot on ISO100 and the shutter speed was barely 1/8 sec so had to do some pan-shoot style.
Will send in the negatives for development tomorrow, lets see if I’m lucky. How I miss changeable ISO on a digital SLR!!!
Did my first 50km bike ride today. Had to think of some creative routes to get that kind of distance without spending too much time on the highway. KL highways are just too notorious to take a chance… A woman driver almost reversed into me in a car park, seems that you dont really need signal indicators or rear view mirrors on cars here in MAlaysia… no one seems to be using it.
Anyways, next… the Century!
Today is the 4th day of the chinese new year. and this year we’re doing it in KL, and its as dead as Paris is in summer. No cars, no shops open… just like a dead city. This week is a long week of holidays here in KL. Just found out that tomorrow is still a holiday, (thursday) and I was already planning to make it back to work!
I’ve been waiting too long already to buy a replacement for my dead ipod g2… a video ipod could be next. NOt too sure… got some questions on what kinda video it can play. In a way, the flash nano is quite interesting, but sometimes I go on without a PC connection for months, so wouldn’t want to repeat the same bunch of 2gb or 4gb songs list…
