This write-up is for readers who are curious what camera and lens I have used.  I started my photography interest through food.  Well, food is something that are always needed by people, don't you think?  I quoted what my beloved mom said when I was confused what major I was about to choose for university.  Anyway, back in 2005 I started writing bilingual (English and Indonesian) recipes, posted online through my multiply account (I don't have and use this account anymore) and used my point and shoot camera that I brought from Indonesia at that time.  In 2006, I began using this blogspot for achieving recipes that I've tried. I kept using my point shoot camera until I reached a thought that I wanted to learn more about photography.  I saved up my paycheques from my full time job and bought a decent camera in 2007. It was a Canon Digital Rebel XTi (or the Europe and Asia Pacific version of EOS 400D). I was thinking only to buy the body and would get another lens later. But, it changed! I ended up buying the kit lens as well for some reasons.




Then, in 2008, I bought another lens for a food photography purpose, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro. In 2009, I finally got a prime lens, Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. Last summer, I also did my first wedding assignment. I used two lenses at that time, one is my fave prime lens and another one was a wide angle lens, EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L II USM that I rented from a camera store here. To see more wedding pictures please visit this wedding photography set.

I still have to learn a lot about photography and become more and more interest into architecture and landscape photography as well.  One thing that I know for sure, everyone has their own preferable when it comes to pictures.  Art is something that is not easy to make everybody enjoy or love.

These pictures were taken at the park in Winnipeg that honestly I forgot the name. It is close to where one of my buddies lives. Out of the blue, this buddy called and asked me to go to the park for pictures. It was in the middle of September. With rush, before the dusk, I drove to her house and picked her up. She brought me slices of brownies. Thanks!

Here are two other shots that I have the permission to post.

Happy Canada Day to All Canadians, including New Canadians!

I decided to call my friend last minute before we were heading to the Forks. Since my place is very closed to where the Osborne Street Festival was, I had to go a longer way to pick up my friend. Then, I parked the car at home and we walked to the Forks.

It was fun! We enjoyed the music from the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and other bands. At 11 PM, the fireworks started. I don't know how many shots I took, but I had to hold my camera up for 15 minutes.

Here are some photos that I shot. They are still and will to come at my flickr page.
