My Bangkok trip

This is the first trip ever that I took only with my siblings all my life. And I love it~

I wish that the trip was longer as we were rushing around to do things with the days that we have there.

Here are some of the photos taken during the trip (on film of course!).

 

This was taken with Canon AE-1 and Agfa Vista 400 film.

I wish that I had a wide angle lens then. This photo would've turned out more awesome. 

 

Beautiful prang. I always wonder whether this is considered a prang? Let me know if you have the answer.

 

My younger siblings busy taking photos on their Konstruktor and ColorSplash cameras.

 

Love their poses in this photo.

 

My silly sister.

 

This was taken with my Canon AE-1 on Fujifilm Proplus II. 

My absolute favourite of the lot.

 

This was taken with my Olympus Mju II on Lomography X-pro Chrome 100.

My sister - 1st time tourist to Bangkok.

 Happy pose by the bonsai plants.

Would love to go back there again with them. The 3 of us had a great time.

Eat, sleep, shit, explore and shoot film!

Olympus Mµ II

I'm back with something to blog about. I've recently acquired a pre-loved unit of Olympus Mµ II from  my client. (No, I'm not a camera seller just an amateur collector) I remember that my high school friend used to own a unit and was so jealous coz the camera was so sleek  and its subtle gold colour is beautiful like a glass of bubbly.

This beautiful baby is also known as Stylus Epic in the US of A. It was an award winning 35mm compact point and shoot back in 1997. I will not go in depth about the specs because it's boring. All I know is that this is a very reliable and light film camera to bring around. The photos are crystal clear and easy to use.

I test a roll of Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400 35mm film (24 exposures) on this baby. And I love the results. If you were wondering where I got the 24 exposures film, I bought it from Amazon. Malaysia only have the 36 exposures type of film.

 

See the clear details on Doraemon ? This was taken indoor with flash with another hour or so of sunlight.

 

PJ Live Arts - with flash around 8-ish in the evening. I feel that red tend to 'pop' in Fujifilm Superia range be it 200 or 400 ISO. 

 

Interior of Publika without flash around 5pm. Soft hues and reverse bokeh. I love this shot among all of it from this roll.

 Shot without flash indoor of Nando's Sungai Wang. I was expecting blank from this shot but am truly surprised with the result.

 

Happy couple - shot at Fatty Crab Restaurant PJ around 6pm without flash.

 

Same as above. Shot without flash around 6pm. Even the chairs in the background are crystal clear.

++Can't wait to shoot slide on this camera. I'm very very happy with my new toy++

 

Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s

Recently I bought a new toy (love gadgets I tell you...). I've been wanting to get one for a long time but never got around to doing it. I kept thinking that it costs a bomb and I'm not exactly rich. Rich in my mind, poor in my pocket.

So on one particular public holiday (FT Day) while Mr Hubs was at work and I was killing time at home. I started surfing the net for more info on instant camera. I did not know that Fujifilm produced a few instant camera model already for the past few years. The price is very reasonable and to me the entry level model Instax Mini 7s is good enough.

Off I went to Mid Valley (never been more determine in my life) and started shopping for the best price. I bought mine at Fotokem at RM228. Films are not included.

 

Pouch is not inclusive as well. I got mine at RM35 from Digicolor, Mutiara Kompleks Jalan Ipoh, KL. Online blogs and forums are selling it at RM85. (same shit..) I got my films at RM22 per pack the same place. Commercial shops are selling the films at RM28-29.80. One camera shop in Pavilion is selling the same film for RM38. They can go eat shit I tell you. Daylight robbery!

So far, I am happy with my new toy. Simply love it.

When I first showed it to my dad, he thought that it's for snapping photos under water. I don't blame him coz it looks like one, look like a toy and plastic-ky.

Do not expect too much if you're using this camera as it is below RM250. It's a fun camera to play with. If you're a photo quality snob then it's best to opt for other models from Fujifilm. Or check out Polaroid's Pogo.
