Europe

Just got back with a painful experience. had ERR 99 randomly happening. Shutter locks up for a good 3 seconds before releasing. Then had to remove my battery, reinsert before the 40D will work again. Seems to be some software corruption. Will try reinstalling the firmware. sheash..anyway some pics!


Traffic in Paris is just as bad as in KL

Sausages and pork legs. Apparently, favourite food of Germans. *shrugs*

Black Forest cake, ate at a town where it originated from, coincidentally, Black Forest too, in Germany

A lion statue, memorial for the fallen soldiers

Sudden heavy snow. When we arrived it was practically snowless. Just took a good 2 hours to cover the whole city up

At the top of Mount Titlis

Milk from this goat is used to make cheese! Not bad I might add

SURPRISED!!!!

A Saturday like any other, woke up, gym, market and ran some errands....then...to my surprised...my wife took me somewhere and gotten a....

Canon 580EX II!

Here is a comparison with the image at the top. This is with flash.

As with any other woman...there is always a catch...no more bday presents for 2009 and 2010! >.<;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

New GearS!

Finally managed to save up some money to shop and LOTS of convincing to make a friend of mine let go some of his gears. So what did I get?

First of, I needed something to clean my lenses.Lenspen!

Here is the retractable brush

And here you have the patented cleaning carbon compound. Just move it around the lens voila done! close the cap back, give it 1/2 a twist and it's replenished for the next use.

Giottos Large rocket!

Before even using the lenspen, it's recommended to blow off the dust first. I've tried several blowers but they end up using a lot of my energy and not creating enough wind to actually do anything. This blower is my last and only blower i will ever get. It looks solid, and stands on it's on! but do not be deceived. I barely used much effort to squeeze this guy but packs quite the punch to blow off any dusts on my lens!



Next up....my first REAL Lens! ,Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8
