SnapSnap Again With DianaF+

Here are pictures taken from the two rolls of films I just send to developed and these are all my most favorite shots :)


I finally had my chance to visit the museum of Brunei.


My cousins invited me to a picnic that he organized. It was at Berakas Forest Reserve.


Kids playing among themselves while the maids look after them.


Enjoying the small waves and the view of the sea.


Where's your slippers?


1acre of paddy field in the school for the agriculture students to plant. I get to learn the step in preparing to plant the paddy, from seed preparation to land preparation and planting. It was really tough work but I bet all my course-mates are enjoying it!


And we just finished plating it on this Monday.


Fasting Month for the Muslim would be one of the most favorite month for everyone because of the FOODS and its Promotion. During the Fasting Month people doesn't go Stadium for keeping fit.


People go there for the ultimate foods hunting. There are a lot of foods to be choose and there are also foods that only show up during the fasting month.


Classic...


The lonely red plastic.

Journey With Diana F+ II

It had been months since I used Lomography Camera, Diana F+

The same old story again and again about the diana f+. It is always that exciting and adrenaline pumping when it comes to knowing Diana in the very first place. It caught my attention on the first time seeing her. That's because of all the Lomography camera, Diana has the biggest & the kick ass flash!


It's like love in the first sight!

I was so passionate by Diana that makes me go crazy all over her.


Crazy till I did stuff like these! I wrote an entry titled "Am I Ready For A New Relationship?" which people at first think I'm in love with somebody but lastly end up knowing I was having a relationship with a plastic camera.


It was hard at first in using the camera that most of the times I get blurry images like these.


Other than the blurry images, I also get wrongly focused images that the pictures developed was completely different from what viewed in the view-finder during focusing to snap the moments.

Every time when sending the film to be developed, it was curious and exciting to see the outcome of the pictures snapped. And every time, the excitement turned out to be disappointment.

Even though the pictures turned out to be blurry and disappointment is the feel after seeing the developed film,


Diana F+ is nice in some ways too! Despite the blurry images and the got body but no head images, there are nice images taken! It does give effects that are unexpected from a analogue camera with film.


Amazing effects that doesn't use any editing using photoshop, remarkable effects that have over saturated colors and giving of dreamy effect to the pictures.


It just so UNIQUE & CLASSIC!

Time after time after exploring and understanding the camera, the last time I walked out from the photoshop was with smile of satisfaction :) Start to get the kick of Lomography!

Two photos above and the rest after this sentence are photos from the latest films developed.


A visit to Tamu Kianggeh, Bandar Seri Begawan.


The tamu is always full packed with the people busy selling and buying stuff!

Right before the school holiday start, there was a school field trip to BLNG. Unfortunately we can't enter the plant due to maintainence protocol.


We had the presentation from the BST's people in Liang Lumut Recreational Club that is situated near to the BLNG plant and Brunei has the longest jetty in the world.


Had the chance to attend my cousin's wedding at Lawas, Sarawak


My uncle-uncle and auntie-auntie

Here's how we get to Lawas.


First of all, pass by the Chinese Temple by the roadside before reaching to the Limbang Town.


From Limbang Town sit on ferry to go Temburong District.


After Temburong District, another ferry ride to reach Trusan. Trusan is the first village that we reach after the ferry ride.


Town area in Lawas that takes 20minutes of car drive to reach there from Trusan.

It was so great timing for me to visit Lawas that it is also the celebration of the Murot & Iban Festival.

Dates With Diana F+

It had been two months since we both met and I'm still in the process getting know more about her.


Two months ago, she is a stranger to Brunei because she came all the way from China. Brunei is a new environment for her as everything seems unfamiliar. It would takes times and efforts for her to get used what's in Brunei. A new surroundings & peoples for her to know, new cultures for her to learn and new lifestyles for her to adapt.

The better way to learn all those above is go for many many outings!

*The pictures below were all taken by Lomography Camera [Diana F+]

She get to watch the last [HOME] game played by Barracudas Brunei in National Indoor Stadium. [The second roll film used, mostly every pictures in that film turned out to be very very blurry]


Brunei is a Muslim country that is MIB, "Melayu Islam Beraja". Showing her around and learn the cultures that are different from we Chinese.


Brought her to the busy commercialized areas in Brunei-Muara that are the Kiulap and Gadong to see the lifestyles in Brunei. [Seemed that images taken on daytime with strong-light exposure is not blurry compare to the one taken in areas with low-light exposure]


In 2months time, she also get to witnessed one of the grandest celebration celebrating in Brunei that is the National Day. [Picture was taken in the car on the way to BSB from Kiulap]


And also the Chinese New Year! [Picture taken @ NBT Gadong where they made CNY's decorations around, image still blurry]


Chinese New Year is all about visiting houses to houses and wish everyone a prosperous new year!

After some time, it is time to introduce her to the families, relatives and friends...


Taken @ Kampong Lamunin during my uncle's birthday.


The most important person to meet, my MUM! That's when the "LOMO" meets the "LOUMOU"!!! [LouMou in Cantonese means Mother]


And also my little brother, Ah-Liang & my cousin whom is playing handphone, Kojack.


My cousin, Chiew Sheh & Wen Biau that had gone back to Kuala Lumpur. [Didn't roll the Kodak Film properly to fit the frame]


Taken in Excapade Sushi Gadong.


It was one great dinner I had with few of my closest friends.

Diana is hard to control because she is sensitive.


Once the hands move a bit while holding/ releasing the shutter, the pictures turn out to be blurry. Even with the viewfinder, it is hard to capture the right angle. Numbers of picture that turned out different from what I see from the viewfinder while capturing it. The pictures either showing the only half of the people or the only half of the things.

Even though Diana is sensitive and hard to understand...


She could be nice in some ways too! The outcome of the pictures are FANTASTIC and UNIQUE! It does give the dreamy and vintage effects that reminds everyone of the Classics.

Things I founded so far about Diana & Lomography can do is these.


Double-Exposure that there is image overlapping on the other one. [Click the shutter once. Without rolling the film into the next frame, click the shutter one more time and the pictures are overlapping on each other]

After finding out good things about Diana [Lomography]. It just worth the patience contributed.






The long-exposure that is simple to be done. The 3pictures above were taken inside the car while it is moving. [All we have to do is switching the camera into "B" which is the night mode. Click and hold the shutter as long as we want, let the light moves in and release the shutter]

But one thing that is scary about Diana too. She does not bite! Because she is one analogue camera and pictures are all captured in film. It is very dangerous that
