Hooray…. free tickets to a movie Babylon AD which was starring Van Diesel and Michelle Yeoh. Too good to be true? Nice movie?? Okay, this is actually a movie review. I have my free tickets and the whole thing and personally it was a close guarded kind of situation in the cinema. Any phones being lifted up will be told to put down by the guards.

Since I have 2 tickets, partner in crime MsBulat decided to show up again for movie along with the rest of the ShoutOut gang. Well, not too shabby, since this free movie passes were given out by U-Mobile for their advertising campaign needs. Just so happened most of us Shouters of ShoutOutLounge.com got the tickets.

Since this is the second movie in recent months we are going to catch Michelle Yeoh or they call her Datuk Michelle Yeoh here, why not show some support. Well, not to mention Van Diesel. Though I personally the old shots of Michelle Yeoh in this picture. What to say about this movie, lots of action, lots of stunts, makes Van Diesel the ever powerful guy and with Michelle Yeoh strutting her stuffs on air, the combat scene seems livelier.

Comparing this to the other movie which feature Michelle Yeoh though in The Mummy 3, I would give this movie a better rating than Mummy. But nevertheless this movie has good action scenes but a weak plot and ending. If you coudn’t dictate the meaning of the religion that was being mentioned in the movie, then you won’t understand the plot behind the plot.

Well, aside that, I have asked a few of other shouters what do they think about the movie, here’s what they have to say…..

Amazing… there you have it from both prominent movie critics of ShoutOut, Satkuru and Jessica Lim. Point taken, we instead geared up for our family photoshoot.

So I think we enjoyed taking photos more than the movie. Pronto…. what’s next? Just have to wait and see…

This time after a year I owned my Nikon D40, well I was a noob that time, not knowing how to use the camera, it’s time to come back to the time when I first started to use my gadgets which was last year’s MIFC (Malaysia International Fireworks Competition). Yes, ever since that time, I was just picking up photography and the results are so bad, I don’t even dare to put up on the website.

That’s why it’s now a different story. Bring forward a year and now it’s back to where it was. I am now in Putrajaya or rather Cyberjaya covering the Spain Team Firework Display and due to lateness of going to the event, a group of us decided to take photos from a very distant location.

Yes, that’s how far we were from the location. The one in blue is the PICC (Putrajaya International Convention Center) and the one in yellow is the bridge that shoots the fireworks. Most photographers are at PICC while a few of us are way off from there.

So in due respect, here are the shots of the Spain team and damn the strong wind and rain on that day.

The wind, just look at the smoke and you’ll see where’s the wind direction coming from. I believe these are not good shots, but since this is a blog and not a portfolio, why not? *though a blog is also a portfolio* LOL

Hmm.. distorted well, I didn’t have a remote shutter release, so most of the photos you see here are just a distant 2 to 3 second shutter release shots.

But though the wind might affect the photos, there’s always improvision to help display the art of fireworks. Not that I don’t enjoy shooting them, I was actually shooting the fireworks with newspapers as rain coverings and that got my gear partly wet. Lucky it was only a Nikon D40 and not the proposed D300 that I am going to get in the coming months.

Well, looks like that’s all I can showcase for team Spain in the Fireworks competition. I was practically packing my gear due to the heavy rain and running towards the car towards the end of the show.

I promised you the finale would be better shots. I still got lots to learn.
