Environment: Indoor; Well lit
Shutter: "B" (10s)
Aperture: Partial sun (f/16)
Focus: 1-2m

[ Why I did it? ]
Impatience got the better of me, I wanted to finish off the last shot and have the film develop ASAP...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Motion and parallax are the 2 distinct features of this shot... :-P Must learn to keep my hands still... @_@

Subject: Portrait Shot of Someone
Environment: Indoor; Well lit
Shutter: "N" (1/60)
Aperture: Cloudy (f/11)
Focus: 1-2m

[ Why I did it? ]
Wanted to test if it was possible to capture a decent shot, with the "N" shutter, in a well lit room...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
As seen, it has turned out to be an underexposed shot. I can't even see the person that I was suppose to capture. However, the surrounding objects seems to have made it into print... The water bottle is the most distinct object in this shot... However, if you look hard enough, you could see an outline of a person, at the left side of the water bottle... ^_^

[ Why I did it? ]
Wanted to try capturing a ghosting effect; Subjects shifting during exposure... There are 4 players...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Due to overexposure, the effect that I was looking for was lost... You could still make out vague outlines of the players' "presence"...

It's not everyday that you'd get to see a cow (doll) climb up a wall!!!

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Focus is really blurry, could be the DOF or the focus distance. Nice vignette on the corners...

Subject: Buildings through a Pinhole
Environment: Outdoor (Day); Taken behind a Glass Window
Shutter: "B" (300s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: NIL, without the lens

[ Why I did it? ]
To try out the pinhole in bright light, and to find out what would be captured (in daylight) if a long exposure was used...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Not too badly overexposed, am still able to see the subjects. However, it's hard to make out the Holy Cross on the dome, located in the bottom right quarter of the picture...

[ Why I did it? ]
Love taking pictures of cats; lofty and always in some sort of pose... Caught this fella catching 40 winks on a discarded sofa. It wasn't even bothered by my presence, which was a good thing, took my time to capture the right moment...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Looks comfy... Looking at the picture, I have a tendency to focus more on the cat than its surrounding...

It was windy that night... Saw the flower swaying in the wind, and a thought struck; How would a (long exposure) picture of a subject in motion turn out? Wrapped my gorillapod on a railing and exposed away...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Really, really blurry... However, one could still make out the shape of the subject... You could see that it's a spider lily, right?

To experiment with more multi-exposure shots...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Moonlight "burnt" a hole in the film--no, it didn't, just an overexposed spot... Forgot to set the correct focus distance (again!) and ended up with a badly focused tree... Looks kinda abstract...

Wanted to take a shot using the newly bought gorillapod, and to try shooting without using the viewfinder...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Can't seem to get the parallax thingy right... Oh, the tripod was fun to use and "sort of" stable... Been using it (tripod) as a mini-monopod since then...

Bored too the core and was in need of something fun to do. Took a look at Diana+ and then the mirror, you know what happens next--"Diana+ on Top"...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Serious motion blur, and the focus distance set was accidental (forgot to set it to the proper distance)... AND, shhh... Don't tell anyone about my narcissism... n_n;;;

Why not? Woke up to a nice day, and the buildings were just standing there waiting... :-P

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Nice displacement shot. I could "see" how the camera handles "distance"... Should try a smaller aperture next time, just to see how it turns out...

To see if I had the parallax error figured out. This was a very close shot, around 10-15cm at most...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Motion blur (shaky hands...); Could do with a little higher positioning--Just to let you guys know, I was aiming for the head...

Doing 2 things here; One, to try out multi-exposures. Two, to try night photography, with light pollution nowadays, this should be a sitch--I hope...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
With motion and rotation, the moon shot turned out to be a light streak--no surprise there... Could do will a smaller aperture and faster shutter... The shot of the buildings turned out nice and sparkly--sweet...

Shutter: "B" (90s)
Aperture: Pinhole w/ Lens (f/150)
Focus: 1-2m

[ Why I did it? ]
Wanted to test the pinhole out, and since no one was around, I took my time creating this shot. Broke the balls and place the cue stick at random. Didn't really know how long to expose it, just went with my gut feeling...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Thought I should have exposed it a little longer (90s might have been to short with such lighting conditions), but surprisingly it turned out to be an exceptional shot. Great DOF, sharp and defined.

Don't really know, just felt that the first shot should always be about the camera and user... Or could it be a sign of narcissism!!??

Focus is soft; Overall nice outcome
