This post is titled Dinner by Candle Light at Sheraton Utama Hotel by author SoulJah. 0001_DSC_5433

This was taken during Earth Hour 2009, where Sheraton Utama Hotel did an event marking the occasion with a presentation and talk about the effects of Global Warming.

Will get back to the swing of things soon. Been too busy with a wedding event, and my short trip to KK. Will do a post requested by my mate from a mate of mine for a very interesting topic for you frequent travellers. Stay tuned.

She's a representative from KK competing for the first time in the ISO category. Previously she competed in the Opie or Optimist class of boats, which were the tiny little one man boats. Even at her first competition, she bagged a respectable third place!

This post is titled Final Dash by author SoulJah. 0101_NIKON D300_DSC_1047

0182_NIKON D300_DSC_1236

Taken during the DST Women's Sports Day event at the Balapan last Sunday, which saw the Ministry of Finance team bagging second place overall. Good job team!

Good opportunity in getting to grips with my new TeleConverter. A stress test revealed it might not be able to keep up with fast sports, and I really need to do an AF Fine Tune to get the sharpest image possible. But I'll learn to work around the shortcomings and make it fit into my style of shooting.

A flag bearer stands infront of a giant Brunei flag that will be carried into the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien at the start of the National Day celebration.

The reflection off of the flag sets the subject apart nicely out of the background.

Couldn't get much focus blurred shots in, as the show ended abruptly. I was set up with a 70-200 at the outset, but once reality sets in, I had to run back to the car to get my 17-55. And focus blurring with the 17-55 is a real pain in the rear.

A young lady waves a mini Brunei flag while taking part in the march past at the capital.

I thought last year's celebration was already huge in terms of the number of photogs descending upon the capital, but here we fielded our own platoon of shooters almost rivalling any other photography organization. Great show guys!

Face painting was also quite popular, with a constant stream of kids and adults coming in and out.

Human Foosball was also another attraction. This kid is way too cute to know what the hell's going on.

Cute kid.

Even though it's human foosball, the celebrations on a goal was almost like any other football game.

She was enthusiastic, and keep on going for the ball the whole game.

I thought this would be the last picture of the day. I went off for lunch shortly after this, but when I saw the Stormtroopers roaming around the place, I went back to my parking space, and paid for another hour of parking just to catch em.

It turns out, that this was in fact, the guy who went to the 501st Legion march during Macy's parade last year in New York. I was utterly and totally, geeked out at that moment.

This post is titled Moon Cake Festival/Mid Autumn Festival by author SoulJah. 0011_DSC_0039
A stage actor adorned with make up and full on costume prepares for the stage show.

Looks like the transition is complete, well on the surface that is. All my links will point to the new site, and my old link will redirect itself to here. But all my older posts are still pointing to the old server and looks like I have to edit all the files individually to point to the new site so any visitors via Google will find the new site. I'm just anal when it comes to the little things really, so all these little nagging things, such as redirecting, dead links, and dead images are still at the back of my mind.

My biggest concern really is the Metal Gear Solid Codec Ringtone I've posted a while back, that has since become my most popular post. Since it looks like I can't redirect it automatically as easy as it was with the main index page, it seems that the ranking for this new site's Codec Ringtone is gonna start at the bottom now.

Anyway, everything I've designed has been translated 98% onto the final site, 2% of which is the little small problems, like dead images and in IE, those menu won't drop down at all. Oh, you're on IE? Go try Firefox or Opera or even the latest phones to check my site. It should either drop down, or gracefully downgrades to an accessible site without the layouting. My N80 can drop down the menu items. An iPhone could as well (that's for another story), I haven't tried on Linux systems or other obscure browsers, but if they're based on a good CSS compliant browser, it should drop down.

And oh. The biggest thing that led me to design this site as such? Now I can present a full 1024 px wide landscape images. Fun for your bandwidth.
