Jumping About Pictures


Jason, Cherrie, Rames and I went to KFC for lunch. We did not talk about what we wanted to eat, but we all ended up ordering the exact same thing! We all paid exactly RM8.61, for a two-piece chicken value meal with Pepsi. All Original Recipe flavored. A working-class meal.

Three of Rames’ colleagues then bumped into us at KFC, and they sat at the table beside us. They ordered a two-piece chicken meal too, except they all chose Hot & Spicy flavor! The same happened for another bunch of distant colleagues from the IT department; they had Hot & Spicy.

And now, for some random photographically-techie pictures.


Okay, so I didn’t have time to prime the shot, but I think it turned out pretty well.


Jason, Jenifur and I were out of pictures to take at Fathima’s (behind Bangsar LRT station) so I meddled with spoons. Somehow, the artistic intended individualism did not carry through, but I reckon I could use this idea again.


This was between Bangsar LRT and Fathima’s. Again, there could be better composition but I couldn’t figure it out. Yeah, go ahead, steal my idea and make it better.


Closing time, One Utama.


Fill-in flash is what happens when you choose shutter priority or manual exposure mode, and turn on the flash. It flashes, then exposes for a while, leaving the background to expose.


This is another example of fill-in flash; this time, I jumped with the camera. How did I get that distance? By hooking it on a tripod, and holding the tripod by its legs!


I tried doing those jump shots as popularized by Jason, but ended up like this. I also like this picture because it makes me look fat.

    malaysian kfc is the best. i don’t know what extra ingredients they add but the kfc in japan and the netherlands definitely pales in comparison.

    Last one reminded me of Resident Evil, man. For the fork and spoons… well, You want a clean background, colour doesn’t matter, as lnog as its plain and does not distrct the subject. You can try placing each subject with a distinctive distance from each other, but at least create a sense of similarity [same position, same angle etc.]. When everything is lined up exactly the same way, the only thing that makes a difference is the fork, because its the only one that’s not a spoon.
