Untitled snap with Pentax DA21 / 3.2 AL

A street snap with my beloved DA21, my "standard" lens for street snap. I love it's small size, but the slow focusing speed of the Pentax system is a bit annoying when doing street snap - it's just not fast enough in some situation.

Sometimes I have to rely on the decade old zone focusing technique, not ideal for digital images because you can easily notice the out-focus with these old-day technique when blow-up on your screen.

I am not sure why I like these kind of framing when snapping sad subjects. I just like it.

Molome: a phone photo social network for non iPhone users

I don't want to spend my money on the every-one-have-it iPhone, but I really envy the photo-sharing social network such as Instagram. It can edit the photos on your phone, and upload to the social medias directly. Great for sharing quick snaps with your mobile.

I just found the Molo.me from the OVI market, i think it's a good replacement for non IPhone users. There are a few special effect to choose from, and I really like the square aspect ratio of the photos in Molome. Android and Symbian versions are available. Come visit my Molome page HERE.


Below is a snap with my phone I uploaded.

A broken Nikon Coolpix P50

It was an accident: I tried to snap with the P50 in a dangerous position. When I tried to pull back, I didn't notice the ditch behind me, so I fell. I am okay, but I bump the lens of the P50, so it can't retract into the body again.... sad.

I believe there was a misalignment in the gears of the lens driving system, so I tried to take it apart and see if I can fix it at all. As you can see, the result was a disaster: after I remove the back and a circuit board, I couldn't remove the remaining circuits.... that means I can't even get my way to the lens driving gears....

I never have good experiences in fixing my cameras. I hope I am a better photographer than a camera technician.

The pix was taken with my Nokia phone. Sorry for the bad quality.
