Hi all,

I just played those Yahoo Answer and some of my friends there wanna see the pictures of the smiling moon in Thailand. Some says they can all see it throughout Asia and Australia.

This is very odd. I uploaded some pictures into the flicker account that should also appears in this page. You are welcome to down load them. But if you wanna use them for commercial purposes you should be thinking of paying me. It's just a moon smiling on top of my roof.

This is in response to those guys in Yahoo answer who had help educated me on DSLR. I'm just about the last person on this planet surface who had just gone digital. Well, at least I think the time is right. The quality is near film already, and that the price had tremedously gone down to earthman like me to be able to afford it.

OK. I've taking pictures since ages ago. A couple time during my college years, I moonlighted as photographer in several events here and there including wedding (not crashing in), and perhaps the most of all near experience to a professional photographer was when I was the only one official photographer of the Bangkok Tennis Classic, and another event during the Swedish famous Tennis player came to Thailand to play an exhibition tour. His name is really difficult to spell: I think Bjorn Bourge.

During the in door Tennis game, I had to carry three cameras; they were all Nikon (being FM2n, FE, and F3). The only reason for that was during those years the even host needed to have black and white for newspaper, slide for magazine, and colour for other things.

Having then had all film (in 1983 I think), and had to take in door pictures, we did a thing call push or poost it, meaning I had 400 ASA (they called ISO, ASA then), and I need to take pictures with zoom lens on those rapidly moving players, I need to pretend I had higher ASA film and told the developer that I pushed the film to 1600 ASA (something like that) in order that I can take pictures of tennis players in action.

Of course the first couple rolls of film came out bad, as the communications betwen me and the lab weren't that great, but after that they came out OK. With some of the pictures had some potential, but enough for them to pay my cab fares and lunches.

Last Wednesday, I went and bought this camera Nikon D300, my first semi-pro digital Single Lens Reflex after pre-order it for several months already. It was the first delivery day for Nikon D300, and I was the brave one to purchase it. Several 'Pros' went to NIKs Thailand, the sole agent, to try their hands on. I wonder whether I was the first one to really bought it on the first day. Well, the girl, shop attendant, called me brave.

The President of Niks took loads of pictures of me (probably really a first customer for D300) may be for promotional purposes or just like to take pictures. And man, he gave no discount, only some memory cards and a camera bag. But, I was really happy.

After I've got the camera, I need to take about an hour of "Lesson" with the teacher in the shop, of the basic control of the camera. One among the first impressive thing was that I need no three cameras no more. This one take all Black and White, Colour and Slide (well sort of), you know.

My knowledge on Camera is very ancient (still not very use to the term ISO 200 for film sensitivity yet! I am still think in ASA, you see). He need to teach me of the white balance, and many things this camera can do, even removing the dust out of the lens itself.

Frankly, I've took about 100 pictures of everything around me since after I charged the battery already, but haven't yet fully utilise the full function of it. Having just purchased a car two weeks ago, I now have two very high tech toys that cost, or cause me bankruptcy. Plus, I now have two thick handbook of both the car the turn on the light and off itself, with steering wheel that move up and down by itself to let me out of the car to this camera that seems to be taking pictures by itself as well.

Just for your information, the picture of the camera in this blog is taken by Dopod P300W. This is life. A good phographer will never have his picture taken by himself, same with the camera!!!
