Doing the Post

After the walk yesterday, we all spent the night at the apartment. Partly for the boys to play with their PS4 and Anita to do some cleaning. But for me, it was all about the post-production work and posting of the photos I took during the Scott Kelby Photowalk - #WWPW2014# - yesterday. All together, between the GR and X-T1, I got almost 400 snaps, but it boiled down to around 255 post-sorting out and editing.

They were all grouped into five segments, and were already up on Flickr, Facebook and SmugMug for my record. I would be blogging about it after I get some breather.

Exiting ApertureUploading onto SmugMugThe boys were up past midnight playing their console, while I woke up early - always a morning person - to finish things out, do the uploading and then off for my morning ward rounds.

Next would be lunch before returning to Gombak. I might pop out to Low Yat in the afternoon since I need to get a new Bluetooth handsfree unit for my phone. The last one gave up on me last year and never got around to be replaced.

More blogging later then ....

Gearing Up

Another year had passed and it would be another installment of my yearly photo walk and getting to chill out with friends with a camera. Scott Kelby's Annual Photowalk was back. As usual, time to get ready with the gear, get the batteries filled up with the juice, polishing the lens and the lot.

Tomorrow, I would be bringing a couple of cameras. My XT-1 attached to the 56mm Fujinon f1.2 and the smaller Ricoh GR. That way, I would be able to cover wide angle - with the GR able to capture 28, 35 and 47 mm - and the XT-1 obviously the equivalent to 85mm in old money. Should be a great outing although the weather forecasters to be suspect. And there was the issue of the haze as well although it hasn't been too bad today.

My Fenix 2 also needed chargingThis time, we planned to congregate near Pudu Plaza by 9am and would be venturing towards Pudu Market. Should be a decent sized crowd and looking forward to great snap.

We would be spending the evening at the apartment hopefully after that, whereby could get on with post-prodiction and uploading. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

The walk last year was written up here.

A Long Flickr Morning Walk

It had been a long Sunday. Globally, today was famously inducted as Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you as the saying went.

But in the Photographer enthusiast community, this weeks marked the tenth anniversary of Flickr. It was celebrated worldwide with what photographers loved to do, a group photowalk.

KLickr joined in the festivities by conducting its own photowalk. We decided to explore Brickfields this time around.

Hot and sunny although it didn't looked like it when I was driving to start my ward round first thing this morning. I was done by half eight and drove to KLCC to park my car, later taking the LRT to Sentral to join the crowd. The starting point was the brand new shopping mall next to the terminal called Nu Sentral. Swanky!

I reached the meeting point just after 10, settling in for a quick breakfast. Soon the group swelled and it was time to start the walk. The customary group photo was around 60. Not a bad crowd at all.

Hot weather indeed and the whole group congregated for lunch just after noon. But not before I snapped around 250 frames.

I wished that it was more of a guided walk as there were plenty of scene to be taken in then. Plenty to discover as Brickfields was full of history and at the rate the development around there were going, the place would soon change.

As for now, it was certainly an enjoyable walk. And a great company to boot. Will blog more after I got the photographs in post-development.

KLicker at Feeka

As mentioned previously, right after a busy week, it was always nice to unwind. This time, the KLickr group congregated at Feeka at Jalan Mesui for a spot of coffee.

It had been a while since we met up. The last meet up must've been during the wedding of one of our members. They were now expecting a baby - that told you how long it had been.

We caught up about old times as well as plan ahead for the activities for the year. But I missed he highlight since I had to leave early. One of our members got out his balloon kit for all of them to enjoy .... minus me.

Long Weekend Over

It had been a long three days, but things got quieter by yesterday afternoon, so much so that I was able to join my KLickr buddies for a spot of coffee in town.

The boys enjoyed their PD trip, especially Idlan who was still buzzing about it when he reached home last evening. Hour was talking about how serene things were at the beach, not like the hustle and bustle of town over pizza last night.

The boy was clearly growing up too fast.

They have another day of their CNY break today to enjoy before returning to school tomorrow. As for me, I was contemplating cancelling my afternoon clinic in Subang. KL was on holiday still today, so no trip to ParkCity this morning. ‎
