Since I don’t have anything to do today, I went to KK in the afternoon and bought a Lowepro beltpack for my prescious D60. The price quite suck and just now when I try to find the similar thing online, it’s RM70 cheaper than my price, even with RM20 shipping cost, it’s still frickin’ cheaper. Shit! (bought from Fotomat Digital, Center Point). Ahh…whatever…silly me. Next time I should decide carefully before buying.

In the evening, I went to IPMB, UMS (@ UMS beach) as usual to take a couple of sunset shots since I’ve not satisfied with the previous results, besides looking on the view during valentine’s day with those loving couples enjoying their so-called “romantic moment”.. .

Golden Ball..I like this very much!

The Last Shine..for today..

UMS Jetty. I like this too!

Bought another lens, , a prime lens, Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D. Currently I’m crazy with lenses and within 2 weeks I’ve already got myself 2 lenses. ‘Pokai’ a bit because of this thing. aiyo0~. whatever laa…

The Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D doesn’t have built-in autofocus motor and can only be used with manual mode with entry level DSLR like mine (D60). I suck when it comes to manual. However, after several tries I manage to master it a bit.

My first shot using the 50mm, a bowl of prawn mee.. . The image was super clear and very sharp. A satisfying first shot. . Then went to UMS beach and took a few shots of today’s sunset.

Looking forward to master D60’s manual mode and the right use of lenses.

Bought a new lens, Tamron AF70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di, for my D60. A nice telephoto lens for cheapskate beginner like me. hehe~..At first I want to buy the Nikon brand but it’s quite hard to find them since most of the shops either don’t sell them or don’t have them in stock. ..I saw the Nikon AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm lens and quite like it but the price is way too high for my budget.

The Tamron AF70-300mm is equipped with macro function with maximum magnification ratio of 1:2, which is great for close-up shots. With that, I don’t have to buy additional macro lens.

The lens comes with a bayonet type hood and has a built in motor for Nikon D compatibility. I’ll be using this as my second lens after the standard Nikon lens AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm that comes with the D60 kit.
