Capsicum

Last weekend, I tried out some capsicum studio shots using my Canon 50mm F1.8 prime lens and Tamron 90mm macro lens. These capsicums were taken out from refrigerator and left a couple of minutes for the water condensation to take place on the vegetable skin.

Penang Pesta Cycling Championship 2009

It has been quite sometime since I last updated this post. I was getting use to my newly bought digital SLR and had a chance to try out some photo shootings in one of the many events in Penang for the month of December. This annual Cycling Championship 2009 was held on 13 Dec at Padang Kota Lama.

The midday sun was quite harsh causing many images to have dark shadows. How I wish I have a flash with me to do the job but overall, I am please with my camera performance.
