I use Google Reader on a daily basis to stay up to date with all the blogs and news sites I track. The coolest part of this free online apps is that I can access the reader anywhere I have internet connection, even on my mobile phone.

Once you add(subscribe) the RSS feed of a blog or website, Google Reader will keep track of any update. Once you login it will let you know how many updates there is of a certain blog/site, very convenient. I have tried a few other blog reader but I found Google Reader simple interface and layout to be my favorite.

Photo Assignment - Candid (2)

Wednesday, May 07, 2008 by , under

Assignment time! Well, it's actually for a class I took, "Basics to Photography". I chose the subject "Candid" so we went to Herman Park last weekend to complete my assignment. I didn't spent much time on it so it didn't turn out as well as I hope. By the way, all these shots are taken with my Canon EF 75-300mm. Comparing to my previous post, you can definitely see the difference between a regular lens and a "L" lens.

Looking
Caught this kiddo running around, took me a while to frame this shot because he just will not stand still.

Relax
Saw these love birds relaxing on the field. Good looking people too.

Run
I took many photos of this kid but only one turn up ok.

The Difference of "L" (2)

Tuesday, May 06, 2008 by , under

These are some of the photos I took with the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. The image is so sharp and the bokeh is really amazing. All these shots are taken at 400mm.

Michael
That's Michael, a good friend who used to work in the same company as I do. That's a crawfish in his hand.

Michael
Check out the bokeh, it's so smooth and nice.

Kristin
Kristin, a sweet girl and a good friend and another former co-worker as well.

Chris
Kristin's hubby, Chris, a very cool guy. The bokeh on this shot is even better.

The "L" Lens!!! (0)

Thursday, May 01, 2008 by , under

May I introduce you my new Canon "L" Lens.

Back to reality, day dream is nice sometime. I wish this is my lens but it's not, it's my manager's lens. He's into photography too. He bought this lens for his upcoming trip to Alaska.

It is the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. For those not into photography, the "L" lens are Canon top of the line lens, which also means that it's freaking expensive. This lens right here is at least $1400. Yes, it's more expensive then my camera and accessories combined!

EF 100-400mm IS
My manager offer me to take the lens home for a weekend but I'm scare that I might break it. Beside the more I shoot with this lens the more I want it. A few hours with it is enough.

EF 100-400mm IS
The photos taken with this lens is amazingly sharp even at 400mm. The autofocus is incredibly fast too, near instantaneous. This will be the lens I want to take to a Formula 1 race or to a nature trail for some wild life photography.
