As reference to my previous post about shifting from Digital photos to Film photos, this is the deal I'll be getting while waiting for my D200 to be repaired and the takes at least TWO months.

OkOk no point OTLing but just make do with whatever I have and whatever my friends could help me out with.

Ok, that's all folks for now.
Be shooting something new soon and posting up at multiply.com soon and be updating it at LJ as soon as possible when I do.
CHEERS!!!

My Digital SLR(Big camera I use to shoot cosplay pix since 2005) have been damaged(CRACKED BODY and LCD PANEL) and was sent to Hospital for repairs...be expecting it to return after maybe two months.
My spare DSLR is loaded to a friend who need it, her DSLR also sent to Hospital but rather serious case involving the sensitive electronics inside the camera.

So I'm stuck with my small compact digicam but I still have my film SLR Equivalents and a few lenses at my disposal. So I'll need to be careful with my shots(cannot shoot like AK47 like in digital) and its gonna cost me RM5 per roll for negative processing only. Instead of letting the photo shops dictate my pictures...I decide to scan de negatives myself(I got a negative film scan function flatbed scanner btw)

Instead of worrying about not getting to shoot anything, I got to learn something new from this predicament. Also a friend of mine is chipping me with additional film camera bodies as well as rolls of unused film F.O.C. ^~^

But I noticed since the extreme usage of digital cameras, some people have looked upon film with disdain. I heard one to me

"WHAT? YOU STILL USE FILM NOW?"

Another friend of mine even said

"YOUR SHOTS ARE SPECIAL! THEY NEED TO BE PROCESSED WHILE MINE DOESN'T NEED TO"

I do sense a faint scent of sarcasm there

I wonder, how would they feel if they were in my shoes? Will they scream in terror when digital is not available?

Anyway...just a little ranting but hopefully not that much. I'm now looking up to MR PANG PIAU KAN from Penang, International Award Winning Photographer that use Film Cameras without the benefit of anything Digital.

Ordered this Mistress on Monday...waiting waiting waiting until just now...received it with open ARMS ^^ ^^ ^^


Now I have the Nikon D200 Har Har Har

But I won't be going much anywhere anytime soon...my dad's in Hospital and I'll be stuck taking care of him for now.
Nothing I would complain about since he did take care of me for so long and now...Its gonna be my turn ... Ganbatte!!!!

Anyway...I'll be armed with my mistress for future cosplay events like ComiWorld and Cosfest 2007

Been surfing the net for camera and photography information...everyday. And suddenly I remembered reading an article that I've read from kenrockwell.com

It is called 'Why Your Camera Does Not Matter'...something that the TECH-Geek or GEAR-Guru wouldn't want to Read or Hear About.

'Why Your Camera Does Not Matter' Article <--- Click to Read

It's mind bogging and it also challenges our thinking about what our cameras can do for us. It's rather what we can do with ouur cameras that's what is stated there.

I'll be posting other Photography(not camera) articles up from time to time. HAPPY READING!!!

P.S. - Feel free to post comments and questions regarding it here. I'ld love a photography discussion from time to time.
