New Camera

 

Finally got my self a new and more handy camera. It's the new Lumix GF2(2 kit lens 14-42mm and 14mm), although it is not light as I wanted it to be I am pretty happy with it. I have yet to give it a spin though.

So now, I feel more optimistic in taking pictures to share with you and get this blog alive. New things to share soon!

you get everything you want after all...

I have long been gone from the blog world, though I try my best to do blog walking from time to time, at one point in my life, i thought i'd give up this blog but more often I think that it was a big part of my person that I just can't let go, although right now I am more focused on reviewing for the board exams for nursing which will be on December. Don't get me wrong, I do love dressing up and all sorts, I still can't sleep thinking of that perfect pair of shoes or dress, or accessory. I still religiously read fashion magazines and style books but I think I just have to cut back on some things and know my priorities.
I recently got back from a 3 month trip to the US and oh boy, the shopping experience was beyond awesome, it's always different when you're independent, you know what you want and you're mom's bank account backs you up..

I'd try to recall my 2010 wish list....
On this post, you get everything you want after all...

Nikon lens review

This post will serve as a review for the Nikon 35mm f/1.8 I recently got.

I am not good with photography at all but I wanted nice pictures with blurry background, after reading several reviews and after several months contemplating between the 50mm, I finally decided to get the 35mm.
For these 2 main reasons:
1. 50mm is too near for me if I want to take indoor photos, there would be more backing up and adjusting
2. 50mm is not a DX lens and cannot auto focus, although a lot of people like it better to focus manually, i think it's always better to have an option

So they are finally here. Photos below are my test shots, trying out how the bokeh effect would turn out and all that. I just want nicer and sharper pictures and I think I have found the answer. This is a good lens for beginners or those who wants blurry pictures on a budget. I got this for $197

And I am currently reading everything about photography from my ipod, an application I downloaded - dSLR toolkit for dummies, it is very helpful for beginners/dummies like me, it also has specific exposure calculator for every event or setting you are shooting and a whole lot of photography tips. I got my money's worth for 99 cents. =)
