Holidays are coming to an end...

Time flies.

In the twinkling of an eye, holidays are coming to an end. 

I would share with you a bit of my trip to Tasik Perdana, KL.

I could vividly remember that it was a sunny day.

Yup, a good weather to go for a trip.

It's an eye-opening trip for me.

Travelling helps me open my mind and adopt a new perspective.

It has been almost a year since the trip actually.

I started to pay attention to details, pattern, texture, ...

therapeutic




All in all, a pretty good trip.

That's all for now

I shall sleep, like a boss tonight.

Good night.

:)

Google Sketchup

I got Google Sketchup installed on my laptop some time ago. I was interested in trying Google Sketchup. Finally, I got the chance to try it out. So here's the simple 3D visualization I did just for fun :)

The house model very a basic one...not according to any rules. Please don't follow aiiks...what a bad example >< . Next time, I'll show a better one. So yeah, I would like to learn more about Google Sketchup so shall I start practicing the mouse skills so that I can catch a mouse? I need to estimate completion time accurately. More shortcut keys should be learned to make our life easier in doing architectural modelling. There's also quite a number of tutorial videos on the web. Overall, Google Sketchup is fun and user-friendly. Quick and easy ketchup. Opps! Google sketchup sounds like ketchup. Hmm, the person who named must have been eating a lot of ketchup. XD

Okay, enough is enough.

Coming up next: Blender VS Google Sketchup VS CAD VS Rhino VS Vray VS Indigo. Which one will win. By the way, I'm reading a forum http://blenderartists.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-205360.html. I like this quote "...just hate when things like this degenerate into "A must be used for this, B must be used for this, A is better than B, B is better than A, etc.". I think the best judge of what a program can do is to take a look in its user gallery or see how it integrates in other artists' workflow. I like modeling my windows in Blender for the most part because I'm a bit OCD when it comes to keeping my mesh sparkly clean. That said, I'm also guilty of hacking out quick study models in SketchUp (even though I barely know how to use it, hard to be interested in it). I've also seen very clean models done in SketchUp that are a breeze to work with, so that's why I find it very hard to say what is best. I'd rather stress good modeling practice and discipline, as those can be applied to either or :P"



I'll be back...to be continued......

Snail

Hello! Hello! Hello! I can't believe it's mid March already. I'm having enjoyable holidays. But, I feel like my muscles are weakening so time for me to get my butt off and start running again!

I promised myself to be strong. So, I went out for a walk.

Yes, it's fun to talk a walk in the early morning.

Look! what I found during that time!




It's a snail.Sails are slow but they have strong muscle as a result of steady movement.

I like the natural colour of the shell. Look at the unique texture of the shell. Wonderful! It looks good, doesn't it?



p/s 1: How's new logo for my photo signature?
p/s 2: Actually, this photo was taken for quite some time ago during first of October last year. HAHA!

That's all for now.

Take care.

KL Here I Come

I haven't really blogged in centuries and this is a very random post. I have the urge to write this post and take it as a personal reminder while taking photos in KL.

So yeah..I went to KL on Christmas Eve. It's my first time to venture to older part of KL streets and places of worship around KL just for photo-shooting activity. 

Yup, KL a must-go place for tourists as you can see the liveliness atmosphere and the diversity of culture in KL.

During the journey, I got to capture photos based on my selected theme and concept which are harmonious culture and texture in KL in context of social activity, food, architecture, etc. 

I tried to be attentive to the details as possible to capture good moments. 

Now, I know that photo-shooting in places of worship are not as easy as I what think while trying a capture the right moment and not to disturb people from their worshiping activity. 

I was taking photos as paparazzi. HAHA. 

The people in worship place are friendly and kind to let me to take photos. The KL trip is a good experience for me. I  must have the courage to take more close-up photo.

Texture photography, here I come!
