Photography's Desire

I'm a newcomer to this area. I've learnt so much about photography from my friends and seniors that into it. Photography is my passionate now and I'm making it as my hobby whenever I'm free. For those who are the same level as me and wants to know more, here I share some knowledge and tips of photographing that I gain from my beloved friends, Hunny Bee.

• Selection

Select only the best of your pictures to show to others and leave the rest in the drawer. Showing someone every picture you have taken will dilutes the effect of the best pictures and people will gets very boring.  

• Turn the Camera on it's Side

At first, I felt awkward holding the camera on it's side, but it is worth getting used to. If the shape of your subject, a person or a building, fits into an upright rectangle, you waste so much picture space if you shoot in landscape. 

• Direction of Lighting

Photography is all about light, the direction of the light falling on your subject is most important, you must look at your subject carefully and see how the shadows fall. If you are able to choose the time of day to shoot your pictures, try to pick a time when the sun is low in the sky, either shoot in the early morning or late afternoon. Shooting pictures of people with the sun too high in the sky, tends to mean the subject's eyes will be in shadow and/or your subject will be squinting in the strong light, both of which tend to look horrible. A nice side effect of shooting in the early morning or late afternoon is that the color of the light is 'warmer', reds and yellows are stronger which generally gives a more pleasing effect.I prefer to capture a picture in the late evening after raining and the sun goes out again and almost to sunset.it's such a beautiful moment when versatile meets up the softness of the breeze at the beach. :)

If you are photographing in sunlight, try to position yourself so that the sun hits your subject from the side, this will give you nice 'modeling' and help create a 3D effect in the picture.

• In Camera Flash

When you have to use the in camera flash, keep your subject(s) away from walls, especially light colored ones, if at all possible, and avoid that ugly black shadow which looks like an outline. This will not show up against a dark background.

• Shutter Speeds

When the shutter speed is important as with moving objects, it's a good idea to set the camera to 'Shutter Speed Priority' mode. This is where you select the shutter speed and the camera selects the appropriate aperture according to the light reading.

Here are some photos that I can share with you. :)

That's all from me, Nadia..hope to see you in other entry. :)

To CHEAT or NOT TO CHEAT

       
         Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose.At school, in addition to cheating on a test, students might cheat by stealing someone else's idea for a project or by the answers and turning it in as if it's his or her original work. Copying someone else's words or work and saying they're yours is a type of cheating called plagiarizing.

         It's  tempting  to  cheat  because  it  makes  difficult  things  seem  easy,  like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test — unless the person cheats again.


         Some  kids  cheat  because  they're  busy  or  lazy  and  they  want  to  get  good grades  without  spending  the  time  studying. Other  kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a "good reason" for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And,  if they get caught cheating,  they will be in trouble at school , and maybe at home, too.

     So,the conclusion is, AVOID cheating because it doesn't solve any problems and gives advantages instead you are facing many problems.

why students must vote during the student election???

Students Role During Elections?

Like in a Presidential election?

Why we should vote them?

What they can do for us?

     Those questions always fly in student's mind. the best way to describe this practice is that voting is a RESPONSIBILITY of every student. Often there are more than enough candidate to fill certain position, so we must ensure that the best among the best are selected so that they can do their job well. Selecting a person with no good background might get all the students into trouble because they cannot present the idea from all student.they might come up with their own selfish idea.

    The candidate should be ready to give their full services to their voters. They must fulfill all their promises so that the student should votes wisely for a better future in the campus. 

Meanwhile, the Deputy President of Technopreneur and Student Affairs, Prof. Haji Ahmad Zahir Haji Mokhtar in his closing speech of the induction programme urged students to embrace good values in their daily life.

“As a leader we must have value system. Similarly if we want to be successful in life we must also have good values,” he said.

          So,students out there, vote fairly and make a best choice. (^_^*)

Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa film.

This RM8 billion epic movie used many special visuals and 'computer-generated imagery' (CGI) and some parts seem a bit illogical, but this whole story does not reveal the best and deformities.

However, piracy of Garuda tribes have different plans. They decided to kidnap the Princess of Chna and make it as a hostage. At the end of the Malacca Strait irrigation, Merong Mahawangsa and the fleet was attacked by Geruda.

Great Leaders are Not Born, They are Made..

Yes, I strongly believe in this statement.

Everyone can be a leader, but not everyone can awesomely be a great leader. However, we can learn and practice on how to become a great one. Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, for example, was a great leader when he was in the government administration and till now. Even our Prophet, Rasulullah s.a.w. started from nothing, until he became the first important and great leader in the world.

"Taken on the whole, I would believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men of our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence for fighting for our cause, but by non-participation of anything you believe is evil." —Albert Einstein, 1950

 

 

From the quote above, Albert Einstein agreed that Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader as he was a pioneer of non-violent protest. He use a soft and diplomatic way to achieve what he wanted.

There are leaders and there are Great Leaders. A great leader is different. A great leader powerfully influences organizations or communities to reach beyond their perceived limits and achieve extraordinary performances that are sustainable over the foreseeable future.

 

So readers out there, do think that you can be one of the great leader as long as you have your perseverance to achieved it. Make it as your goal and start planning now. Here are some ways that I can share with you. First key is you must have a vision on what you are going to do. Next, give yourself a passion so that you feel energetic for whatever the outcomes exist.  Then, you must have character.  It is because your innate character strengths and limitations play a critical role in your leadership style. 

That's it..thank you.

whats the buzz...vAlenTino RosSi

for my new entry..i would like to introduce the most importance person who inspires me in arena SUPERBIKES...yeah..thats him..VALENTINO ROSSI..

He was born at Urbina,Italy on February 16th 1979.His height is 182 cm and has weight about 59 kg.His hobby is soccer and radio-controlled toys.Along his carier as motorbiker racing,he has won 7 grand prix which are 1x250cc,1x500cc,1x125cc and 4 moto GP.His first race was 1991 and first grand prix was 1996  at Malaysia (125cc).

Valentino Rossi starts his fourth campaign as a Yamaha Factory Team rider in 2007 with the clear target of recapturing the MotoGP World Championship title after being dethroned by Nicky Hayden last year. After winning two consecutive World Championships with Yamaha in 2004 and 2005, following on from three previous back-to-back title successes, Rossi finished runner-up to the American despite scoring ten podiums and winning five races – more than any other rider. Now the record-breaking Italian, widely regarded as the finest motorcycle racer of his generation, starts the season without the crown to defend for the first time in five years.

Rossi’s five wins in 2006 took his premier-class career tally to 58, leaving him within striking distance of the legendary Giacomo Agostini’s all-time record of 68 – another enticing target for the 2007 season. For the third consecutive campaign Valentino will be ably assisted by his trusted team-mate and great friend Colin Edwards, as the pair apply their highly effective development partnership to Yamaha’s all-new 800cc machine and attempt to regain the Manufacturers’ and Teams’ titles they won together in 2005.

Rossi made history by moving to Yamaha in 2004 and winning the season-opening Grand Prix in South Africa, becoming the first rider in the history of the sport to win back-to-back premier class races for different manufacturers. He went on to win nine out of 16 races, finally clinching the World Championship title, Yamaha’s first for 12 years, with victory at the penultimate Grand Prix in Phillip Island. A final win at the Valencia Grand Prix also ensured that the Yamaha Factory Team won the team title. Rossi followed up that triumph with a season of unprecedented success in 2005, when he successfully defended the title once again with a total of eleven race wins and five pole positions – only finishing off the podium once.

Rossi turned 28 in February 2007 and remains the youngest rider to have won World Championships in all three classes. He continues to have the support of his long-standing Crew Chief, Jeremy Burgess, who moved from Honda to work with him at Yamaha Factory Racing.
