Hello there..welcome!

These are among my humble photos:

I am a housewife, and a mom of 2 sons from Malaysia but currently live in Tsukuba, Japan. My husband is currently doing phD 1st year at Tsukuba University. 2009 is our 8th year here. InsyaAllah we will go back for good on March 2011.

We recently got into photography and already addicted to it. Anyway we are still beginners and willing to learn. Some of the photos here are shot by me and some by my husband, but most of the editing done by myself. I am using photoshop CS2, Lightroom 2.3, photoscape and sometimes picnic.com. I love the film effect technique and textures. I learn photo editing from the tutorials on the internet and I am sooo in love with it! I am so glad my husband and I share the same interest:)

Our gadgets are:

Nikon D200

Nikkor 50mm f1.8,

18-55 mm VR,

55-200mm VR

Nikkor Micro 105mm f2.8 VR

Tokina 11-16mm f2.8

Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8

Hoya UV filter

Nikkor 52 mm polarizer filter

Slik tripod

Other dream lenses: ( Just a dream, hopefully one day will come true ;)) )

Nikkor 85mm f1.4

Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8

Nikkor 70-200mm f2.8

We believe that expensive camera is not necessary to get great photos. Hubby got the D200 because he wanted the heavier one. We are very satisfied with it :)

I really appreciate any critics that can improve our skills.

Thanks. (I prefer critiques than compliments :) )

I'd love to make friends with all photography lovers. If I have free time I will browse photos of my contacts usually 1-10 pages and give comments to the photos I like.

Happy shooting to all!
