Starting Work . 初五 . 20 Feb 2018
Konica Hexar RF with 1938 50 summicron, XP2 |
For a 1938 lens, this is full of flavour and character, but don't expect modern sharpness.
I shot this at F2.

Colours in Life . 190218
An Old Malay House in Kuala Lumpur |
There should be colours in life, not just black and white. Colours often bring cheer and a positive outlook, contrary to black and white. But black and white leads us away from reality, yet removes the distraction of the real world and makes us more sensitive to our inner feelings.
Today I choose to share some colours in life that we often overlooked. The roof over our heads, the food we get to eat, our colourful toothbrush, broom and slippers, the clothes we choose to wear, etc. Everything can be beautiful when bathed in the morning sun.
Appreciate what we have, smile when you wake up each morning because you are still breathing, find a dozen of things you can be thankful for each day and your life will be full of colours of your own.

Hairstylist . 2013
Ricoh GR, ISO5000, SOOC, 2013 |
Pasar malam (night market) is a part of Malaysia's culture. Today, it has gotten so expensive that you can easily spend RM50 within 50 metres of walking in it, and your stomach is still less than half full. But walking with a camera is free of charge, empty stomach but if you are lucky, you get some nice shots. It's a good place to test your high ISO, haha...

Expressions . 2013
shot with Ricoh GR, ISO3200, SOOC, 2013 |
I remember I sold my GR a few months after I owned it (actually exchanged it with a Konica Hexar from a friend), because I preferred the deeper depth of field (due to it's smaller sensor) and larger aperture of the GRDiii (F1.8 vs F2.8).
I did no touch up to the above file. It's straight from the camera. That's the nice thing about the Ricohs!
