Digital Dream

I had three visitors to the office today -- Nuar, Mina and Wai -- all of them came to have a look at the picture I've taken in Tenghilan the other day. I guess they like the picture and the way the camera -- and the cameraman -- took it.

Then someone was asking about Digital Cameras, about which is which, about what's what and lots of other questions. So I had to become an impromptu photography tutor although I was not much of a photographer myself.

With the help of Digital Photography Review website, I manage to explain to them about optical and digital zoom, about the importance of having an option for 100 or lower ISO setting, about sharpness and softness of images, about certain brand of cameras etc. After listening to my ramblings, I know at least one of them had already set the target of owning a digital camera as soon as they can afford it.

I know Mina had fallen for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20.

    hi, im surprised to find someone from tandek actually writing here. no offence really, but once i was driving through the villages near tandek trying to reach pitas, and saw some poor villagers without even clothes on. just curious, is masin-asin the name of ur family or a sub-tribe?

    thanks anonymous for the comment. no, masinasin is neither a family name nor a sub-tribe. its the name of a very small stream that passes by my parents' padi field (too small it does not even appear in the map).
    true there are some poor villagers in tandek but lots of others have progressed.

    surprised that someone from tandek actually operating a blog? well, someone used to say ict empowers the people, even the rural ones. i guess its very true.

    thank you, anonymous visitor (are you the same person who commented here before about driving to pitas?).

    by the way, yes, this is a family site but it is open for viewing and commenting. in case you have started a website of your own or that of your family, let us know... cheers!
