Lady at the gate: B&W rendition

Old News: partial eclipse

On the 26th January 2009, me, my wife and Raudhah were eating out at KFC Yayasan whereby I noticed quite a number of people gathering just outside on the footstep. Luckily a fren of my wife mentioned that there will be a partial eclipse happening. Duhh..! Been busy with work that I miss on whats happening. Luckily I brought along my brand new Camera.. hehe.

Captured a few photos of the small event.

An interviewer and interviewee on the steps of Yayasan

FYI those two guys did not turn into those two eggs. (Eggs left by the man without the cap). I overheard people mentioning that eggs would rotate by itself when there is an eclipse. Beats me..

As you can see the bloke really did not turn into an egg. hehe.. RTB also there to capture the event.

The special telescope placed inside the tent as it was still raining.

Leaflets regarding the eclipse were distributed. Made a new friend 'Sulaiman from Fire & Rescue unit'

The crowds..

Sorry dude.. I also could hardly see any silhouette of the eclipse as the sky was still gloomy.

I'm not sure whether you could get any photo of the eclipse using that camera.

At last I could see the partial eclipse. Well.. its actually a computer simulated model on what you should actually see.

At the end, it did not turn out as good as I expected or maybe I wasn't even expecting it at all as it was just another outing with my family. Sorry Sayang as you have to go around shopping without me at Yayasan with Raudhah.

It has been a while since I have not been back to KB. I have met my dad last night and he inquired about my little ones. That reminds me that so far only my youngest has not been featured in my blog, thus here is the photo of her.

The How-To

I have forgotten to mention what software I used and how I did the two pictures; Raudhah in words & Naurah's Puzzle Board.

Well, the software I used was Adobe Photoshop CS3 and the how-to was from http://www.gavinhoey.co.uk

I think he is one of the best teachers in the on-line tutorial area so far. Well paced and most importantly very comprehensible.

I have link both tutorials from his website as below. Enjoy and have fun.

Raudhah in words

I am always fascinated by pictures being composed of words or anything that may seemed to be not so conspicuously link to it.

For this particular case, I have made a picture montage of Raudhah comprising sentences she always use like "Raudhah suka princess", "Raudhah suka pink", etc.

I hope I will be able to decorate my house with interesting pictures like this with different concept and style which revolves around my family.

Enjoy the picture..

Naurah's Puzzle Board

I have not blog for quite a while as I have been pretty busy with work especially relating to the weather impacting our country.

Anyhow my wife ask me to do a photo project; collection of family photos that we could display in our new house nanti. So thus I have been trying different sort of photo manipulation.. learning it of the Net.

Here is one of my fav..
