My First Panning
Panning –
In photography, panning refers to the horizontal movement or rotation of a still or video camera, or the scanning of a subject horizontally on video or a display device. Panning a camera results in a motion similar to that of someone shaking their head “no” or of an aircraft performing a yaw rotation.
In other words, the panning was trying to achieve a fast motion effect
In still photography, the panning technique is used to suggest fast motion, and bring out foreground from background. In photographic pictures it is usually noted by a foreground subject in action appearing still (i.e. a runner frozen in mid-stride) while the background is streaked and/or skewed in the apparently opposite direction of the subject’s travel.
So the other day, it was an open practice sessions for the motogp in Sepang F1 Circuit. Wingz, Ho and few of us went there. My objectives was to expose myself to motor sports photography or sort of. One of them was trying to pick up the panning skills. In my last venture to F1 2009, the turnout to be fiasco as the place was crowded and I couldn’t find a nice spot plus it was raining too.
Nonetheless, it was good experience. Out of so many attempts, few turn out to be slightly sharp and in focus. Other than that just went blur.
By the way, the place was a little run down as not properly maintained the facility. It was like being used once a year. Anyway, I heard that the management going to shutdown the place for maintenance. Perhaps to renovate it for the upcoming F1 in April.

Taken at Sepang F1 Circuit. Terence will be motogp today and tomorrow. Went for the practice session. It was open free for public. Guess there wasn’t much publicity about it.

The Tipping Point
After I finished the book, “Outliers” I decided to finish up the “The Tipping Point – How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference”.
Likewise with his writings, the author Malcolm Gladwell dwells in the singularity of the issue. He examines the culture of the Hush Puppies from a small to international brand that making millions dollar annually. He wrote that the culture was epidemic. Starting from small numbers of urbanites until it catches on fire into the runway. It seems as the culture took off at the certain tipping point.
So, clearly his book was mentioning the small little things that sometimes we did not pay attention to. From that small things it turn out to be the tipping point once it reached its critical mass. Sounds like physics.
After reading this ‘Tipping Point’ I felt that the idea and the basic drive for this book it splendidly good. No doubt that Malcolm is a good writer. He prose and eloquently good with his writing skills which I came to envy about. Nonetheless, the book was considered information overloaded where by I don’t get how he trying to jive the entire several ideas and laws together. Maybe it’s not him, it’s just me.
But above all, I like the part where he shared about the tipping point to make it an epidemic hooha. It just gives me the right idea. That’s all.

End of February
Another month has gone. We are approaching the final month for the first quarter of 2010. Time flies. Looking back at February, it was totally like a holiday season with the Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day and few holiday in between (Federal Holiday and Awal Muharam)
Coming into the month of March, what lies ahead are far beyond my imagination. Aware that there were few things stored from wedding dinners to holiday and stuff, it is not easy.

In Celebrating Songkran
We had a roadblock. An obstacle. The kids were armed with water guns. We couldn’t pass that area to get out from the Chatuchak.
these people are dangerous
They found the prey.
The man mooned them earlier.
Finally we made it through. Here’s Wingz’s best friend. The officer gave Wingz the address asking him to forward the photo of him once produced.
We left the place and soon check out from the hotel
The ladies miss Thomas a lot. Look at their face. Awww so cute
After we checked in at the airport, we got about an hour to kill. Asking Thomas what’s his plan, he was counting 1-2-3.
Time for final round of massage perhaps? We manage to find one last massage center. It’s Chang Foot Massage. For your info, three of us fell asleep in there.
By the time we are done, it was almost the boarding time. We had again to run towards the gate.
Otherwise we got stuck in Thailand. LOL.
