With over 35 people registered on 2 teams, the trons with their red jerseys have made quite a name for ourselves.
Enter “Captain Saro and the Planeteers”! Led by Saro and each has a power of earth, wind, water, fire and heart, this team is full of spirit and good times.
Half-time. We need to stick to our positions and get to the ball first.
Planeteers aside, team “Ludwik And Anthony’s Most Excellent Adventure Team … United” is armed to the teeth going for the glory. I don’t know how Fatin got his leg stuck so high.
Aaron, our goalie, scored a goal in the first game…go figure.
I tagged along with Horace and joined his photoshoot for a while ago for Klaus Anselm. We had never met any of the musicians before but soon found that their great music and lively performance makes for a great photoshoot topic.
The interior of the bar was pretty dark, and the low ceiling made lighting very difficult. However, it was fun to try out different techniques.
Wednesday night, the idea was generated over some wings and beverage @ Molly’s.
Monday night, mysterious laptop arrive, recruitment for first-year wannabe began.
Tuesday, contacting the professor, planning the location of cameras and 1st year dress codes.
Wednesday 10am. Last run through, the laptop smasher was missing so we recruited Alex last minute, we had to remind him a few things about PDEng to get him all fired up.
10:30am, Jerry, Ryan, Yassir, Alex, and myself infiltrated the first year Mechatronics class. We had our keys around our necks, frosh tote bags, and looked eager to start the lecture.
10:45am, Yassir has made a few high school anecdotes and trying to illustrate his superiority. The professor plays along and suggests Yassir should go into Arts. We tried to fan the crowds with ohhs, ahhs, and headshakes.
Mission Successful!
One of the most anticipated lens of this year. I had bought it while I was in Hong Kong and Horace kept telling me how wonderful it is to taunt me.
Took it for a spin in Kensington Market, it took a while to get use to since it is an equivalent of 450mm in 35mm standards. I was literally ‘head hunting’ in the crowded streets.
This lens is a legend and has sinced been discontinued. I was debating between this or the DA*300mm but in the end decided I love the old school look too much.
I was amazed by the details this lens could pull out. The bokeh is also buttery smooth.
The long focal length allowed for some natural candid shots but in some cases some passer-by can right into the picture as well!
Horace and his new Mamiya medium format system. It is exciting taking film photos with full control, it takes many steps to setup for a shot but forces the user to consider different perspectives and factors beforehand.
Here are some of the shots from this camera, click on the thumbnails to enlarge!
