5 Great Pose Models

Posted by danielctw On November - 21 - 2008

A few days, or rather a few months back.. hmm wait.. it was only a month, a few of us watch a few freaking movie and one of them is a DROP IQ kind of movie which was Disaster Movie. Disaster Movie, more or less like Meet The Spartans, and Super Hero Movie.

Yes I meant this disaster movie. From Batman to Ironman, Kungfu Panda, Enchanted…. etc etc.. now if you have lots of this character into one movie, of course it will be a disaster. You will love the Chipmunks in this movie. LOL…. Let me tell you why. It’s because of the Chipmunks in this movie (Alvin, Simon & Theodore) that we are so crazy over it that we prompt to act them out in our pose for the day, or rather pose for the post in this blog. *sweats*

Post Disaster Movie Chipmunks Wannabe

ROARRRRRRR~~~~~~~ The Chipmunks gang turn killer. You really got to watch the movie to be able to understand why!! By the way, from left, Wendy, Jane, Me (duh..), Aaron & William. Haha.. all are great in making faces. But what the heck, this is all for fun, and yes, this photo was PP (post-processed a lot) for the fun of it.

Sharing Photography Tips

Posted by danielctw On November - 16 - 2008

After about a year into DSLR cameras and photography, I’ve sometimes thought, why not share what I have learnt to others. Well, this has got me thinking also, why not create a blog out of nowhere and talked about few stuffs about photography. Well in line of this, instead of creating one now, I am doing my articles in draft and will be thinking of creating a whole new domain for it. So wait for me while I find a suitable date to launch the website.

A few days back, I had the thought of understanding what was aperture, shutter speed, ‘bokeh‘ and all were foreign to me when I practically started photography without understanding a thing or two. I was more like a photography noob and seriously, I’ve learnt a lot thru reading and experimenting with the cameras and forums. So after seeing how hard it was to learn photography when you’re learning it on your own, it feels that it’s good to somehow help others who are new into it.

DanielCtw giving Camera Tips

Simple tips and tricks of camera and photography. Well, since I am still not even a professional one, so just basic tips and about.

I had my hand on the D2X today and with the 3rd Generation Nikkor 70-200mm lens f2.8 AF-ED lens. The picture was nice and though with no VR, it has to be compensated with lots of other settings. I’ve also found another older photokaki to mix around with. I might even get myself a D300 sooner than I thought for taking up new assignments.

As of now, let’s just say I am no professional, and there are others who are better than me. Look at my photos, they are still amateurish right. But hopefully they’ll get better in time.

I am so random today..

ps : My camera is not with me for a few days, so bear with me with my longer written articles as I go thru a hiatus period.

Trying Hard To Smile

Posted by danielctw On November - 15 - 2008

If you actually knew me, you would have known that I hardly smile in my photos. Not that I don’t want to, but just that I can’t seem to smile in front of a camera. So it took me months of practice and maybe a small little effort to see how I smile in front of a mirror.

That’s because I have a bad talent for smiling for the camera. If I do smile, I keep it at a minimum. Guessed it’s the way I was brought up. I was more of a lone ranger, doing things on my own and finishing them. Even in college, the reason it is, is because I cannot trust their work seeing how bad things turned up during first semester. Thus slowly it became habitual. I was one who was never to rely on anyone but to self sufficiently provide on my own. Thus became the journey of changing myself.

All this starts to change when I first started working. I started to rely on seniors for guidance until a certain degree. After that, the self reliance part of me started to kick in once again. The smile was there, but it was short lived. I guessed things don’t change for awhile. Then slowly the people there became a norm for me, that I started having fun, well it all ended once again after I left that place. It wasn’t the people then, but the things that happened there.

After what seemed like a pose of coolness all the time, there came a time that I started trying to smile ever since. Well, still trying but it’s never easy for someone who hardly smiles. I do smile but I hardly show it, why smile? Then someone said, “Smile, it’ll make you feel better!” I heeded to this sentence, and indeed tried to.

So how does my faint little smile looks? Maybe is not a smile to you, but ever so, I hope it’ll brighten up your day. You never know how important a smile is to someone until you start smiling. So I guessed I should start smiling too.

Piggyfied The 2 Crazy

Posted by danielctw On October - 14 - 2008

It all started at a crazy time in office. Daniel felt he got nothing to do. Or rather he was too lazy and too tired and needs some entertainment. This is where he takes his leisure time and look at his MSN list.

Then see nothing nice to see.. *potong stimz* so he turned to his Google Reader to look for any interesting blog post, till he chanced upon this blog post about Hornication. Daniel was like OMG.. that’s so unbelievingly funny. From Horny talk into a new name, the hornification. What a way to start a day and it looks like aL was publishing what Ryu said.

Though it seems that it doesn’t end there. Why? Because Daniel went to MSN Ryu who then suddenly created a whole new blog entry which was very ‘mempersiasuikan’ and =_= this time Daniel was involved. Well, not to mention, it’s time to run off and hide and pretend nothing has happened.

Surprisingly fast though, aL found out and got another one up her sleeves. Daniel knows he seldom talked during the day due to extreme workloads <– Yeah right.. so he was pawned by this post, or rather maybe aLi was pawned, ahhh.. whatever..

But it’s good to know that Daniel have great friends along this blogosphere, talking crazy stuffs. Well, what can Daniel say about them, Ryu is a very ‘big size’ girl while aL is a very ‘tall’ girl.

Beware of aLi though, she has the power to sihamified you. This time I shall piggyfied you!!!!

PIGGYFIED BOTH ALi & RYU

ps : Can’t catch the slang and the terms used, they’re more or less personal slangs. By the way in case you’re wondering what’s a Google reader? You can start by subscribing here for more updates.

pss : It’s been awhile since I wrote a post without photos, and it sure was breathtaking. It’s just like old Daniel style blog.

psss : darn it… stop writing nonsense….. finish it off already.

HairStyle Revolution

Posted by danielctw On July - 22 - 2008

“Babies are adorable… well, because they don’t have hair at first.”

What gives, well, you can say that again, same to your puppies when they first had little hair and most will be saying… wooots… look at those cute cute puppies, I want to hug them. So you know, that’s why when they’re very young, they’re adorable.

During primary school, most students have to cut their hair short and to be wary of the discipline teacher around. So it’s like shorter hair –> short hair –> okay length hair. Well, that’s true for the beginning part, though I don’t think I seem to follow that trend any longer thanks to preservatives and stuffs. There’s a reason why I am missing from the gatherings, well…. you’ll know when you see it.

Long Hair

From this photo, my hair that time was long. Well, those days, the long hair was the trend, even the middle parting which I had been using since the days of High School. Those days during my secondary school, it was a common trend where almost all guys have this Aaron Kwok hairstyle.

Aaron Kwok Old Hairstyle

One thing about stars and celebrities, people tend to follow them. Then when he started changing his hairstyles, people followed through. So you get people ditching their long hair styles for shorter ones.

Short Hair Aaron Kwok

Then suddenly you have to hand it over to certain people. ‘They’ started a new trend and suddenly everyone’s cutting their hair shorter or some go to the extreme of getting their hair longer. Take for example the picture below.

Long Hair

Impressive? Or some people call it LALA mode? Well, I decided to be different though. That’s the reason I’ve been avoiding trips and such. Just look at this.

Now that’s why I’ve been avoiding the public for awhile. Looks like “Dai Gor” only with this kind of hair cut and look.
