"many beginners make the mistake of pressing the shutter release button down all the way, without first doing it halfway. as a result, the camera does not get a chance to do its auto-focus job and the subject turns out blurred."
for some cameras, pressing the shutter button down fully without giving the auto-focus a chance to work can result in a blurred subject, even when its at the centre. let the camera focus on the main subject first and hold the shutter button down at the halfway point. press the shutter down fully when the main subject is positioned about one-third into the photo.

Layla (2oo7) - Ramzi feat. Ash King
thanks to fir
for the suggest.
i love the song!
Could she be the one that I've been lookin for
Be the kind of girl that I adore
Make me wanna play no more
Could she be the one that I been dreamin of
The kind of girl that I would love
Must have come from up above
I was cruisin one day in the neighbourhood
When I saw this girl that was lookin so good
I think I seen her couple times in my dreams
She had long dark hair fallin down
Make you lose your balance, hit the ground
Must have been the finest woman that Ive ever seen
I could not help but pull over
I'm wonderin should I go over
And although I don't even know her
She could be my queen
I'm watching her from a distance
My life could change in an instance
I'm tryin to fight my resistance
That is if you know what I mean
She was so beautiful, but she wore a frown
Maybe I could be the one to turn it around
Wonderin what it is thats playin on her mind
I wanna know where she's from, what she like
So that I could change what's wrong to right
If I made a move would I be out of line
She's my kind of beauty queen
Since she came up on the scene
All I wanna do is sit around and daydream
Wonder if we'll ever be, could she be my destiny
Coz she's all that I ever see.
*// i tried embedding the song from imeem but it was unsuccessful. and youtube decided to lag on me at this moment. so i removed the song embed and i'll wait patiently for youtube to stop pmsing.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world.
my really lovely morning
was spent with him.
and at this point of time
im feeling so much for him,
that i want to spend every moment,
with you.

A.n.g.e.l
A.n.g.e.l
Just like a shadow
I'll be beside you
I'll be your comfort
I'm there to guide you home
I will provide you a place of shelter
I want a be your zone
I'll act as if you do
Tell me what you wanted me to do
I'll make you great to be a man
With a woman who can stand
With every promise given
Making vows to please her man
[Chorus:]
If I could be your angel (your angel, your angel)
Protect you from the pain (from the pain, oh)
I'll keep you safe from danger (from danger, from danger)
You'll never hurt again (no more)
I'll be your
A-N-G-E-L
A-N-G-E-L
I'm gonna be your A-N-G-E-L
A-N-G-E-L
I'll be your angel
Just like the moon
I'll step aside
And let your sun shine
While I follow behind
Cause baby what ya got
It is with all the props
You're everything I'm not
I'll act as if you do
Tell me what you wanted me to do
I'll make you great to be a man
With a woman who can stand
With every promise given
Making vows to please her man
[Chorus]
Tell me why there's so many good men
Men in the world misunderstood
He's a dog, he's no good
I wish somebody would
Disrespect my man
You're gonna have to come see me
I go hard for my baby
He's all that I need
So if you got a good one
Put your hands up,
Come on girl and stand up
Go ahead lift your man up
Get up
If you got a good one, put your hands up
Go ahead lift your man up
Get up
If you got a good one, stand up
Come on girl, and stand up
[Chorus]
if you're reading and listening,
this is for you.
the smashing weekday + weekend,
in pictures.
many thanks to those who made it possible,
without them it wouldnt be a brilliant weekday + weekend.
especially syairah,
the mastermind behind it all.
i love them
a million red, green, yellow, and white
smarties.
i got inspired by
the 2 hour cycle in the rain to pasir ris park
on the same weekend
and decided to change the main picture.
nothing beats a bicycle gang of 12
riding in the heavy rain
on the beach
and eating ice cream.
i realised the position i put myself in
while im behind the lenses.
im practically non existent in photographs,
unless i have the come-lets-take-a-picture-together-and-squeeze moments.
but i dont mind not being in pictures.
cause i like seeing the various reactions and feelings of different people
(from the glow of a blushing bride, the euphoria of guys seeing their favourite soccer team score, to the disappointment of a boy who didnt get to play with his cousins cause he had to complete his homework, etc.)
and i love capturing them on camera.
if only i had all the time in the world
i wish i could just sit in a corner of a coffee joint,
and immerse myself in a book, or
people-watch all day long.
its not even halfway through the week
and i have a lot of things in mind,
only god knows.
the post-it on my mirror.
1) check email
2) bring down the dirty clothes
3) bring up the folded clothes
4) recording of student's progress report
5) lesson plan for saturday
6) watch american idol (10pm) and project runaway (11pm)
7) pack the duffel bag for the weekend getaway
i was moving up the ranks
and nearly 7/8 done
when the battery had to die on me!
my eyes went all luxor balls on me,
in various colours of
dark blue
red
yellow
green
black
orange
aqua
white.
