Lomo Smena 8m
this is my classic Lomo Smena 8m.
manufactured in 1980, Made in USSR.
history about Lomo Company, wiki it.
rather than current lomo camera on the market, this is the genuine shit.
unlike modern lomo camera, it's not made of plastic, it's solid aluminum! sturdy and bulky! like it!
an excited thing about it, which you'll never know what you captured until you develop it.
Halo. Lomographer.
next one? saving for a Rolleiflex *sniff*

Can't Stop Macro-ing
macro photography for Nature Lovers!
the best things of Macro photography is the similarity to another interest of mine, street photography, which both objects were captured in their natural behavior/ environment. only difference is, bug won't scold you or give you the Put-That-Thing-Away-From-My-Face look!
eye-contact with Praying mantis! see its' retina? awesome!
which i believe. this could be roaches
it's just veiling with nice looking transparent armors...
katydids (Tettigoniidae). distinguishs itself from Grasshopper with the longer length of filamentous antennae. it feeds on leaves, flowers, barks, leaves although most species are exclusively predatory! spread across North America and Tropical region.
my favorite of the day! a planthopper. albino!!! i mean white planthopper! and it has a little trunk, like a little elephant...lovely bug! and it's so tiny!
Grasshopper. a common species in Tropical region...hope to get some colourful one soon...a yellow banded black grasshopper please...looks like somebody isn't it? YES! Kamen Rider (Masked Rider)!
Candid of the day!!! hop hop away.

i'm trying to peek into the tethered balloon. it's really full of hot air! and someone opposite the hole of no return greets me =)
the Levi's team is settling up the jeans...Classic 501 unbuttoned.

Beneath Poland's...
there's two young lads, Buckled up enduring the adventure ahead. UP!
Participated countries on that day were a little foiled. Japan, Germany and New Zealand'd been missing the show. that's badness.
Mr. Sunny.
Cute Pon De Lion. too bad Jumbo Dumbo from last year been missing the show, it didn't turn up this year. else, it'll be fun zoo here =)
Switzerland Vs Japan. suppose to have two Japan tethered balloon, and only one shows up.
first Year joining USA. but that doesn't look like a USA flag...looks like Great Britain to me!
Para-Motoring! Bear Grylls favorite sport. people used to mistaken it as para gliding, even News reporter from the XXXX calls it para-gliding. heck! it's Para-Motoring. you're moron!
too bad, the Tethered Balloons didn't go all way up in the air that morning...
young girl, don't stand so close to Dark Vader!!!
Pretty Neat huh.
Malaysia's Tethered Balloons for public riding...Design. Color. Style. not bad!
Ms. Nana
that's all from the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon fiesta! next year. hope to see New Zealand's Mr. Eggs. it looks cool from the official website.
people is flocking the event, have to sort out another plan next year... to avoid the stuffiness.

Macro @50m Above Sea Level
50 meters above sea level, is where i do regular hiking. also, a little hill where i used to walk the dog. and this little hill features some interesting creatures!
a yellow weevil, seem covering with some bristle fur... pretty awesome! there's some tiny breathing holes on its' body too. and i'm totally loving its' paws.

Macro with Master Kurt
macro photography is really hard! you'll be lucky enough if someone willing to teach you! and i'm a lucky bastard who get to learn from kurt, a macro maestro. macro! it shapes up images not even bare eyes can see. something magical. and it'd been awhile since i "wow-ed" at my own shots! WOW! macro is so much fun yet hard, an errant movement could just ruins your shots! it's just depressing. but Kurt would said: "don't worry. it'll come back =)"
here some of my shots.
an ant mimic Spider, and it's missing a leg.
Robber Fly. it kidnaps your soul. sucks in and excrete out.
a Spider
Proboscis Fly. or not?
look at its proboscis! can't really see it, isn't it...it's OOF! shite!
Blue Dragonfly
Fly, should be the usual house fly.
front shot.
bonus:
i like this shot in fact, it's because of the shadow, the ambience light.
but it's a bad shot. OOF. and under-expose.
