Welcome to the family, MARK!

Who the heck is Mark? *giggles*

well..Mark is my new filter’s name; combining it’s brand name, Marumi with macro (is what it does – but using ‘K’ instead of ‘C’) – ape kes la kasi nama kat benda? haha

jgn main2~ ade casing lagi tu haha

It’s only dioptre +3 (I’d love to get +5, but then.. ahhh better keep the money to get the macro lens! w00t! obviously, the higher the dioptre, more expensive it becomes haha)
I got it a few days ago; went to Tottenham Court Road to find some cheap filter (was finding Cokin) but ended up getting a bit on the expensive side filter – geram + terpengaruh dgn org yg jual tu haha kantoi~
It was a proper camera shop, a Nikon dealer to be exact. The shop is so cosy! and would make a good place for 70’s type of picture lol

If you’re interested to see other pictures, it’s already on my facebook album – I’ll be updating that album again tomorrow 😀

It was pretty hard finding the screw in (is that the right term?) filters.. well, as a matter of fact, along that road, only 2 shops got this filter! *faint* maunya tak hot aku cari hehe

but anyway, since I “terbeli” without giving some deep thoughts about it, it turns out that the quality of the filter is top notch! gosh! it’s sharp! it’s awesome! as what the seller said *or so I assumed lol*
I don’t even need to adjust the curve/brightness/contrast at all!

right after I bought it, I went to the British Museum testing out the filter on flowers they got there lol. I do feel like LOLing at myself for going to British Museum for.. uh.. FLOWERS??!!! PFFFTTTT!!! what a joke! xD – btw British Museum was nearby hehe

the result from using the filter? AWESOMESAUSE! senyum sampai ketelinga okeh! hehe
but then, since it has been a while since I last took picture of flowers, obviously my angle was pretty messed up!

So, yesterday I spent a few hours in campus taking pictures of the flowers haha (the weather was so-so; no good for landscape photography so I didn’t go for my “London Tour” :P) they always plant colourful + pretty flowers in uni 😀

Since I was acting suspicious (agaknya la kot), duduk sorg2 atas rumput tu with camera in hand; people who walked pass me either look at me twice, smile while wondering what the heck was I doing or start talking to me hehe – the place where I was lepaking memang depan the main building hehe
uhh.. one of my uni security guard came to talk to me as well *sweat drop* HAHAHAHA asking what was I doing lol

I had fun mencapub tak tentu pasal 😛 plus the grass is so comfy to sit on! 😛
I ended up taking 250 pictures in.. uhh 3 hours I think hehe
the pictures are pretty alright 😀

So, to show the AWESOMENESS of the filter, here are some of my good shots which shows how close I could get to my subject (if only I could get my hands on the macro lens… it would be more awesome! hehe) The pictures below are not edited in any way, not even cropped 😛

err.. the pictures look pretty similar haha; I can’t make up my mind to put only one lol xD – each picture different focus 😛 ok la tu hehe

waheeeee~ I totally love this filter! ❤
I love you Mark! xD WAKAKAKAKAKA

p/s: filter tak semurah yang disangka~ mau good quality sure mahal sket kan? 😛 brand ape yg korang guna and ok ek? hoya? cokin? marumi? marumi mahal aar~ cokin agak murah tp quality ku tak tau~

ape2 pun, puas hati beb! 😀 pokai pun.. errr pokai la.. adoii!!
