on photography again

I'm still trying to get the hang of being a journalist. And due to shortage of staff, I'm photographer as well. A few foolish mistakes I've made:

1. Goes all the way to cover Wesak Day. Leaves the car without batteries in camera. Walks back all the way to car. Finds uncharged batteries. Puts them into camera & prays for some battery life for at least a few shots. Leaves when battery totally dies.

2. Goes to Fatimah Hosp for a health talk. Reaches early. Waits in the car. Walks out 5 minutes earlier, with brochure. Reaches the counter, only to find out that the talk is in Casuarina. Totally overlooked the venue on brochure. Drives like crazy to Casuarina. Reaches Casuarina & enters seminar room at the point when VIP is being presented the gift. Just when camera is out, everyone leaves the room.

3. Goes to Ipoh Padang for UMNO sports. Takes photos. Batteries still got life. Just when Menteri Besar is giving his closing speech, batteries die. Changes batteries but too late because Menteri Besar has already finished speech.

4. Goes to Kuala Kangsar to look around & meet Dr Underwood. Needs to talk to him about KK & to ask his opinion about the magazine. Just before KK, on the highway, shouts...Ahhh!!! Why? Totally forgot to bring a copy of the magazine. Goes to 3 bookshops & 2 petrol kiosks to ask if they sell it. None. Goes to Dr Underwood's house & apologizes.


Oh well. Hope it gets better from here.

Some fun from another blogger

"How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

Charismatic: Only one. Hands already in the air.

Pentecostal: Ten. One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against spirit of darkness.

Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.

Baptists: At least 15. One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken.

Episcopalians: Three. One to call the electrician, one to mix the drinks, and one to talk about how much better the old one was.

Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Unitarians: We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey you have found that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your light bulb for the next Sunday service in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including: incandescent, fluorescent three way, long-life and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence.

Methodists: Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved. You can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church-wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.

Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

Amish: What's a light bulb?"


I must add one more.

Brethrens: Change??

Of cameras & manuals....

I have a camera. It's a Konica Minolta. Got it as a graduation present from my parents. I used to like it. Now I'm slowly losing the liking for it. It used to boast about a fast focussing speed. But it doesn't really live up to what it boasts, especially when it is a little dark. My photos turn out blurry. But if I use a tripod and slow flash, or no flash & longer shutter speed, my photos turn out right. But you don't suppose I carry a tripod wherever I go, right? What about moving boats or dancing people? I can't expect them to freeze for me.

So what do I do? I could read the manual. Gosh. But it's thick. Yeah but it tells me how to use my camera to its fullest capabilities. And maybe it would tell me how I could make my night pictures look better, since the writers ARE the manufacturers, the creators of the camera. Yeah maybe. But sometimes it's hard to understand, you know, the terms they use. And sometimes after reading, I forget. And why does that happen? Well, because I don't try the instructions out straight away. Well maybe...

So, it is with my life. It boasts of what it can do and what it thinks it can't do. Sometimes, things go wrong and I think of my own solutions, rather than reading the 'manual'. Excuses, there may be. But obviously the Author knows what's best. So, yeah...reading and applying...straight away...

(Am pretty please with this piece. Like so profound. Hahah!)
