A few more street performers at Forrest Place.

I’m in a serious need to focus on assignments which are due next week (happens to be my study week break!), but for some reason I just don’t want to do anything right now :/ Have a good weekend!
Some photos from Targa West 2009 at Toodyay, about 90km from Perth.
There are a total of 1200 photos from Targa West 2009, of which I haven’t even seen all of it so far. But here are 24 shots which I think people want to see. There are a couple of Nissan GTRs, Porsche 911, Lotus Elise, and of course, an i30 SX CRDi (unfortunately all the i30 shots turned out unsatisfactory). It was my first attempt at panning photography, so 70/80 per cent of my shots turned out kinda unsatisfactory.
Some overexposed, out of focus, not composed properly, etc. Oh, and we were in the spectator zone, so there were no way to get a better spot than the spot we were standing at, so all shots came back with the same angle. I remember I crossed the tape that kept us in the area for like a minute and the “marshall” came and asked me to go back behind the tape.

This post is way overdue, but here are photos of a street performer with his ball, taken at Forrest Place one fine sunny afternoon:

I haven’t really found time to update, nor do I know what to write besides my new car, but my past two entries have been about LANA. So here’s something else for a change:
Here’s more photos of (my Hyundai i30 SX) which I attempted to shoot tonight after cleaning and polishing her for around 4 hours today. However, I failed miserably despite driving 100kms around the city to hunt for a decent spot to take the photos. I left home at 10pm or so, so the lighting condition can be considered horrible since the moon wasn’t even in sight.
Although I’m now armed with a tripod, no equipment can ever replace natural light – but I tried.
To make the long story short, I came home empty-handed, and decided to take a few shots at a car park 100m away from home instead. Here are some photos I managed to salvage from the bunch of not up to par shots:
Here’s one extra shot from Friday, taken in uni:
Do note that these photos are not an accurate representation of Hyper Silver colour due to image post processing and extreme lighting conditions.
Have a good Sunday 
My Hyundai i30 Hyper Silver SX 2.0L Manual has finally been picked up at 9am on 6th August 2009. I could not have been happier as it is the first time I’m buying myself a brand new car.
After picking her up which took about 40 minutes, I headed straight to uni as I had to get to a lecture at 11.30am. Since I had almost 1.5 hours to spare, I drove around campus to look for a spot to take some photos, but there wasn’t really a good spot unless I stop in the middle of the road or drive over the curb and park on some grass (but no, I don’t wanna do that on her first day out with me, lol).
Anyway, I finally found an okay place, so here’s some photos (do click to enlarge individually):

Very ashamed to be saying this, but I have stalled her like 8 times just today. I find that it’s such a smooth and quiet ride compared to my 1990 Nissan Pulsar and Supra, and the stick is still quite stiff, especially on the Reverse, 1st and 2nd gear. Or maybe I really do suck at driving manual? :/
Nevertheless, there were a couple of minor scratches that I noticed later on, but I think that can be fixed when I bring it in for its first service on 8th September. And about 3 air bubbles which are probably not even noticeable (about .5mm in diameter), still not sure if I should talk to the dealer about that.
All I can say now is that I LOVE the car. Best car I’ve owned!
On the 5th of July, I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph Fadh and Winnie’s wedding reception which was held at their humble home. This was my second time shooting at a wedding reception at home, and it was quite a challenge due to the lack of space and lighting. Nevertheless, I couldn’t be happier to be there to capture their special day.
Thank you, Winnie for letting me have the opportunity to photograph this wonderful day for you and Fadh. I had a ball of a time and I definitely enjoyed the food! 
Now let the photos do the work (click to enlarge):
I just realised I’ve already posted a couple of the photos a while ago, but no harm re-posting them right?
