Playing ard with my (sister's) camera
Its actually quite an old camera, with only 3.2 Megapixels (considering handphones can give you 2 MP easily nowadays!). After being appointed cameraman to Dharmacamp, i just sort of find out more about this old camera on the internet and read up on how to use some of the manual settings it offered. Think my sis got a lot of photography stuffs which she din touched at all. Not a strange thing since she was from Mass Communication when she was in NTU. Found a good and tall tripod. Found some materials on photography too... So now i know how to change the exposure settings and the aperture settings, and some default mode like sports or night or scenic or portrait.
Today tried out the camera whilst i was waiting for the bus.
The above was taken using the old trick of using a large aperture, such that the near objects are clear while the background are blurred. Often found in portrait photos. Tooo bad i don't have beautiful flowers to try and i also paiseh the pple at the busstop are looking at me...
The photos i took at the Dharmacamp meeting was an absolute disaster. Low bat means i can't use flash, which combine with the poor lighting conditions (cum the fact that i must have very steady hands under such conditions), the photos were awful... Tried to played with the exposure after i had thought the photos were too bright (from the camera lcd) BUT actually it was just nice, as seen from below. Regretted changing the settings...

Anyway managed to squeeze some battery life out of camera to allow me to capture 5 photos of Foo Hai to be used in the camp booklet.
