Se Ja Meh

ISO 800 24mm f2.8 1/60 sec

I'm glad this restaurant is close by where I live. It used to be one of my favorite lunch spot with my coworker because it's just right around the corner (26 John Street). Their "Dolsot Bibimbop" is awesome! I didn't know they moved to 114 Greenwich Street until I received their menu about 2 months ago. I had a chance to order it early this week because my mom and sister came to visit Brendan. Those little containers are kimchi dishes. They gave us so many and they are free! Overall, the quality is pretty good. Would love to have an "Isupport" lunch there soon!

RedHat RULE!!!

ISO 800 24mm f2.8 1/60 sec

As you reading this post, I'm working my ass on the redhat RHCE exam now. I actually don't care if I will pass or not (yeah right). This week of training definitely improve my typing skill. LOL

Not even 17mm will do

ISO 400 24mm f2.8 1/1600 sec

At first, I want to shoot the whole building of where I attend the training. However, 24mm just couldn't make it at all, I doubt even 17mm can do that. Well, this building has over 45 floor. Is there anyway I can do the trick with 24-70mm?

I'm debating whether I should stay home after class to study for the exam tomorrow or enjoy with badminton first and deal with the pain later.

Artistic?

ISO100 62mm f2.8 1/60 sec

I found this pic quiet interesting as it feels a bit artistic to me. I'm still fairly new to photography world and I'm still try to cooperate between technical part and artistic part. As you may know, artistic is a very subjective matter. More ppl critique my pics will definitely improve both of my skill sets.

How can I find more follower? I wish blogger.com could provides the search function to look for your gmail address friends from your address book.

Bicycles

ISO 200 38mm f2.8 1/50 sec

I took this pic during my break from training. Those bikes belong to one of the pizza store near my work area. I remembered they don't have that many last year. Maybe this explains why people are tend to "cheap eat" more due to the bad economy. Also, I wonder how many stolen one in here :)

195 Broadway

Good morning. Today is president's day and our office is closed. However, I have to attend a training class this week (included today) and need to go to office to take care some work. Sucks :(

This pic taken in the lobby in my office. The interior design is so attractive. I heard ppl had their wedding shoot here. I always want to take a snapshot of it but I'm afraid the security isn't allow. Today I only see one security at the front desk so I was lucky to take some good shoots :)

Brendan's 1st Birthday Party

ISO 1600 24mm f2.8 1/800 sec

This pic was taken from Brendan's 1st year old birthday party. He was crying because most of his gifts are clothes or pants but those are for 18 months and up. He couldn't wear it. I was surprise he knew that.

Ha ha. Just kidding. The truth is, his little cousin (Catherine - upper left sized) was playing with the balloon and didn't noticed Brendan was in front of her, so she literally kicked his butt. Ouch!

I was actually LOL when taking this photo and surprised it wasn't that blurry ;)

24-70mm f2.8

I borrowed the 24-70mm f2.8 from Rob. This is a great lens. I mounted it on my 40D as soon as I back home and started shooting. I noticed the f2.8 is a bit difficult to get a good shot indoor if the light situation isn't that good. After dinner, I went outside to shoot. It was very windy and cold. I didn't go anywhere far but just my building downstair.

Here is the shoot I like:

ISO 800 24mm f8.0 1/4 sec

I like it because I can captured the blue light reflection (like a star). I was wonder why the white light on the left didn't shows the star shape. I think I should set shutter speed a bit longer, so that it can absorbed more light, but then I need a tripod to prevent my hand shaking.
