F I N A L L Y . . .

Finally a blog post that I m proud of…

(also a new update)

♥

Yes, it’s been such a long time since I actually I post something
on my blog that I actually love the pictures… Not that I don’t
like my other blog posts, it just I have a pretty high expectations
of my blog posts, I guess i had been posting ALL average standard
blog posts/ advertorials…. This is kinda upset myself, I Rmb a
time everytime when I visit my own blog I actually felt very proud
of my baby blog. Lol.

♥

♥

Anyhow, I LOVE THIS BLOG POST!!! It was taken in Korea 2 months ago,
I explore many new things in this set of photo, this is my first
photography project in Korea, previously was done for fun and nothing
serious, more like hangout and snap, this is also my first time
working with a photographer from a foreign land!! Also… MY FIRST
TIME trying out film photography as a model!! Personally I always
always film photography very fascinating, as I’ve never tried before,
many of the film photographers always produce filtered photos that is
almost impossible to archive with photoshop! I will talk about the
photographer that I worked with later part of the blog post!

♥

♥

♥

♥

This blog post consisted of photos taken with Alice’s Contax Film
Camera, as well as my Canon 60D, to let you guys have a clearer
view of the difference between a digital DSLR photography photo
quality and a film camera photography photo quality, under every
single photo in this blog post, there’s a indication of which
camera is it taken by!

This blog post also featuring one of the coolest gadget I’ve ever
owned!!! The Lenovo YOGA 900!!! Okay where do I begin… It just
have TOO much awesome features.

Here’s some background info on my Windows PC obsession. I’ve been a
Windows user for the past-ever (okay I just made that word up, it
supposedly means forever in the past, lol) yes past-ever and ever!
My 1st PC/laptop was Windows, and all the way until last year, I
got my 1st MacBook, after months of trying to get use to it, I
told myself… I REALLY need a Windows laptop AGAIN. I NEED.

♥

Yes..
I m:-

so used to window’s document/storage system,

so used to the customizable of everything,

so used to able to play all the kill time PC games,

so used to the China softwares that I stream shows on

And so used to photo editing programs that only works on PC.

I M SO GLAD TO GET MY HANDS BACK ON A WINDOWS LAPTOP!!
THANK YOU LENOVO SO MUCH!!!
I got a not only a laptop, the Lenovo YOGA 900 is MANY things!

♥

♥

It’s a multifunctional laptop, the thinnest convertible laptop!
Only 14.9mm… And ONLY 1.29 gram!!! Insanely light!! No, this
YOGA 900 Is quiet, light and thin, but this sleek package DOES
NOT compensate on the performance!! It is integrated with the new
6th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, my edition comes with 8GB ram
memory, it is SUPER high speed, making play games at ultra finest,
literally when I load The Sims 4 at ZERO loading time. Lol,
yes I play the sims. Lol.

♥

♥

♥

♥

With 512 GB storage, (i don’t really need any external hard drive)
with super long lasting battery life, up to 10 hours of video play,
tried and tested, I brought this baby to a library and start working
on some photo editing, I went around 1pm, literally until the library
is close at 9:30pm, the Yoga 900 is… STILL ALIVE!!! I don’t even
need to bring the charger!!!

And even if I do… The charge is just a long USB cable, it’s not
heavy at all… Lol.

♥

♥

♥

♥

Funny story, I remember vividly there are many times while I was
playing game I actually went to the touch my screen of my (non-touch
screen) laptop, trying to move things, when my mouse is being an u
responsive ***. I told myself, how I wish I could have a touch screen
laptop please… NOW I HAVE!!!! Lenovo YOGA 900 is full touch screen
display…! i can’t draw on my screen! I always love to doodle on my photos, 
now I could actually draw on my photos, unlike how I used to try my luck with 
doodles with… My mouse. Lol.

♥

The light package makes working outdoors so much more convenient,
I used to drag myself to go out to work at cafes, back in those
poly days, I need to carry super bulky laptop, a laptop heat fan,
the charger, the mouse, the hard disk and no thanks. Lol. Just
carrying this baby with only a mouse that other day to get some
work done, half way getting to the cafe, I thought forget to bring
my laptop!! Becos it was so light, I didn’t even realize I was
carrying it in my backpack!!

Now I could be ALL cool, head down to the cafes and work my a**
off on photoshop, without being uncool to bring too much barang
barang (stuff/items) out.

♥

♥

♥

♥
The moment I got my hands on the YOGA 900, it was love at first touch,
I kept fanboying over it. I kept repeating “oh my god, how can it be??”

I declare the LENOVO YOGA 900 is the coolest gadget I ever…
OWN/HAVE/POSSESS!!

Rest In Peace, Casio Tr150

11/January/2016 | Camera Talk, Confession of yutakis, Photography, Review

♥

i m someone who actually easily get attached to people and things,
one of the things that i m super attached to is my phone and my Casio
camera, for the past 3 years, she’s been my baby. but sadly, last year,
in last year around may, i noticed she is sick… the censor for selfie
mode is no longer functional, whenever i flip the screen over for a
selfie, its no long in mirror image, its non-reversed image, in the
beginning, i thought it was a glitch, but it could resolved by restart
the camera, it wasn’t much of a trouble. but slowly it got worst. it
doesn’t take restarting the camera to fix the problem, slowly, the
problem become permanent, in july. that’s when i know she is gone.

i was super devastated. she is literally my favourite camera A L L TIME.
like she was with me in so many countries, so many places. that’s why
this blog post is completely dedicated to her, the sorrow of losing her.
i even wrote her a eulogy. and listing 48 of the Best selfies taken with
this ultimate selfie machine.

Dear Casio Tr150,

It was love at 1st sight. i knew i will bring you home when i saw you on
the internet, where other net selfie gurus were using your siblings, i
told myself, I NEED THAT CAMERA. yes, and i got you, ever since, i had
left my bulky DSLR home, only bringing you out. you know how much i love
you, remember so many times when i was overseas, i thought u were lost,
i literally said things like, “ holy shit, i could lose my phone, my
passport, i couldn’t lose my TR150!!” i always keep you close to me,
not even my phone had such privilege.

throughout this 3 years, you had serve me well, u make me feel pretty
when i don’t have believe in myself. you had capture angles, distance,
positions that i could never get if i m using some other camera or dslr.
You are the best. for the 3 years, no matter how i try to find some other
camera to replace you, i couldn’t, non of your newer generations siblings
are better than you. you remind to be the queen of my heart.

Even at my fattiest days, my self esteem lowest days, my ugliest days,
you lift me up, you made me look good, i can’t believe you are not longer
with me anymore, i always said ‘nothing forever, but a selfie does, they
last a enternity’ when i was younger, i guess i was right, we shared so
much memories together, so much that the ones that i posted online are
merely 10%? or maybe less. even when u re gone, i will still slowly take
our those unpublished selfies that you captured for me and post them on
my blog, my instagram, you will always be a part of me.

♥

I promise, i will never forget about you.

May you rest in peace.

always love you madly, dearly, deeply.

♥

Yutakis James.

Thank god, 2 months after the passing of Tr150, Casio finally released a
new generation of Tr series that are almost as good as Casio xxx series.
the two digits TRxx series in past years were super disappointing, i never
thought my Tr150 will be able to be replaced. but, miracle happened.

Shall blog more about my new love which replaced Tr150 in the next post!
Stay tune.
