Hartal, Hartal!

Russell — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:32:19 +0000

The National Committee on Protection of Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Ports called a half-day strike on 14th September 2009 in capital Dhaka to protest the government’s recently announced gas exploration deals with international companies. It was first hartal since 2006, and also the first one after the current government came to power early this year.

I was at Paltan the entire morning, and here’s the coverage of the hartal processions, protests, more.

Canon EOS 450D

Russell — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:41:03 +0000

I’ve been looking forward to get myself a SLR for over a year now, and I finally got one today! It’s a Canon EOS 450D, the one I wanted to buy since it was released last year. It came with the EF-S 18-55mm IS lens, which is good enough to start with. I also bought an original Canon bag and a Canon vest which has “EOS Professional”. Pretty cool!

Here are the basic features of the camera:

12.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor
Canon EOS Integrated Cleaning System
3.5 frames per second
3.0″ TFT LCD
Live View shooting
9-point wide-area AF system with f/2.8 cross-type center point
DIGIC III image processor
Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites

To note, this camera is known as “Digital Rebel XSi” in US market, and “Kiss X2 Digital” in Japan.

Here’s what it looks like:

I can now take much better photos, and more importantly try more genres of photography, which wasn’t possible with my credit card sized Canon IXUS 70. So yay for me!

Addicted to Flickr

Russell — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 22:19:31 +0000

I’ve been using Flickr for one and half year, and right now I’m completely hooked to it. I had a hard time to get rid of my Facebook addiction, but seems like giving up Flickr wouldn’t be easy. But hey, I don’t need to do so, cause it’s helping me to improve my photography skills and acquire more knowledge on photo-taking techniques by seeing the works for renowned photographers from around the world. So yay for me!

Here’s my account stats:

370 pictures;
23 sets;
223 contacts; and
137 favorites.
