Another Combo

The sunshine this morning was amazing again. And before heading out to work, I decided to dust off another lens of mine, the Zeiss Distagon FE 1.4/35 for my Alpha 7R mk2. I was using my Summicron-M on Monday. I decided to have a change. I missed how easy it was to use a setup with built-in autofocus ….

After around 40 shots, I think I might just take combo out the next time I was in town. A bit heavier than my usual setup, but judging from the results, it may be some extra weight worth carrying.

The pop that you would normally see with a Zeiss lens was definitely there. The shimmering morning light certainly brought out the luminous colour of everything I snapped. Sharpness? No question about that …. So watch this space!

Glorious Monday Morning

I must say that I was stunned when I was heading out to send Idlan off to his school bus this morning. Such a glorious sunrise, and in snapped this from my balcony.

I could almost make out Venus right in the Centre of the frame. After my shower and breakfast, the light just kept on getting better. I couldn't resist it but to start snapping around the apartment.

A great way to start the week I thought. The ward round could wait that just a bit longer ...

Golden End

I decided to stay home today and get ready for the call tomorrow. The weather was nice and I had left the hospital earlier than usual today.

Thursday usually meant my no clinic day. I usually use the time to give talks or have meetings. Instead today, there was nothing lined up. I was already at home by 5, with a quick stop in Bangsar to have a look at the recently reopened Czip Lee.

We were done by 6. And undecided to have a session in the gym. A 3km jog on the treadmill was all I could muster before heading up for shower and Maghrib.

But the sunset had a nice shimmer to it this evening. Gorgeous light. And a gorgeous way to end the day.

The Ainuls Coming for Lunch

It's Malaysia Day, a public holiday. And it was a Friday which meant that there would be a long weekend up ahead. On call the next day though.

Anita getting things preparedThere were mooncakes of courseThey arrived just after noon and we went straight to the mosque before returning for lunch. Itul was already there when Syahril and I returned just in time for food.

And Anita cooked her delicious soto. It was a hit.

The table being setBegedil! Part of the condiments ...There were also some macaroniAnd we were off!We ended up watching a movie after lunch. Syahril and I had always been into military movie since in Med School. So, I bought “13th Hour”, the new Michael Bay movie about the Benghazi invitation.

By the time we were done, it was too late for the pool already and the Ainuls had a dinner plan that night.

The Orange Sofa

I thought I upload this photo of me on the newly installed orange sofa at the main entrance of my apartment. I was waiting for a friend to come and pick up a lens he wanted to use during Raya. While waiting, I thought I would just take the Theta out and see what happened.

A quick snap and that was it. Mid Valley next!
