Water Village Fire

A water village near sutera harbour caught fire on Christmas night. There was nothing much that anyone could do but to watch and take pictures of the incident.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! :D

Forces Of Nature

The day before was really tiring, strange and scary at the same time. There was a pretty short thunderstorm which caused floods everywhere and most ironically my house which is on a hill. We thought it was just another flood that we would usually get when the drains were blocked by leaves but we saw that everything was covered in thick mud and it looked suspicious.

A small portion of the bottom part of the retaining wall behind my house had cracked (possibly because there was too much water retained within it because of some flaw in the design) and gave way to a large amount of rocks and soil which filled the drains around my house and flowed all over the driveway and made its way down the hill.

A lot of water had also flowed into the house and filled everything but a small portion of the living room. It took an incredible effort from the family to shovel, sweep, scrape and mop various parts of the house. We worked non-stop from 3pm to 9pm. Bernard came back at 6pm and helped as well.

Thank god the water didn't touch anything electrical and the most damage it did was on some wooden cabinets that got partially ruined. Now there is the bigger issue of that retaining wall which my parents are contacting the right people to come and repair.

DIY Soft Box Light Test

So this was what went down the past week. Bernard and I made a lightweight and portable soft box that would fit a Canon 430 EX II. There were no specific instructions to making it, we just went along and designed it based on what we could use.

It was made of cardboard, aluminum foil and a large piece of paper as the front cover. It works awesome, and the light is evenly spread. I also purchased a wireless radio transmitter and receiver for Canon flashes. You can check out the details for it here.

Nokia Ad

☻EXAMS ARE OVER!!☻

The exams are finally out of the way and I'm free to continue posting :D My last exam paper was today and it was tough but I think it went okay.

Now this is an ad I made for the Nokia 5130 Xpressmusic. Lighting was simple, just one light from camera left and a reflector beside the phone.
