MG Astray Red Frame Kai Straight Build

One of the masterpiece of MG.. Astray Red Frame Kai. This kit really have a high value..
1. Cool design with more like traditional japanese style
2. Great articulation
3. Lot's of pose can be done
4. Dual *bling-bling* Katana with each name engraved on it.. [Gerbera straight and Tiger Pierce]
5. Lot's of Mode for the tactical arms backpack [archer mode, worker mode, delta mode, W mode, sword mode, etc]
6. *Optional, if you have astray blue frame, you can borrow the backpack connector and voila.. you can make a lots of combination, for me is Aile Red Frame and Force Red Frame..

As I said for the previous post, this time I try to make a theme photo... Well combining my two hobbies at once [time efficiency eh? hehehe..] Gunpla and photography, so I decided to decrease the number of the gunpla pose and more emphasizing my time for the photos..

Again, still need to try a Canon DSLR. I need to know and feel by myself Nikkon and Canon difference..

Macro Photography #2

Do some macro shoot again.. Well, like someone said practice makes perfect so, here it is..

another "object-less" shoot.. I said object-less cause it's really a random object that I found in my house hahaha...

Well, this is the Photosynthesized Plumeria Leaves..

And the second try..

My Old-fashioned lock can't escape from my PASSION!! Muahahaha..

The last try of the day..

This is just a random shoot, so I really don't have any idea why I took that objects.. What do you think guys? Basically I learned that Macro needs a lot of light.. The Brighter the better.. more like a natural light is better than using lamp, is this correct?

Macro Photography

First time I fell in love in photography because of macro photography.. Awesome detail and awesome focus, at that time I really want to buy a decent camera for macro photo (and of course a budget friendly.. cause at that time my mother would be angry if I ask some "killing" camera like a DSLR or SLR, she will ask me: what's for?? It's too expensive for a camera!! I won't buy it for you.. T_T sigh..)

So at last my decision come to Canon Powershot SX100IS. Quite happy that time.. a good camera with a decent price, doing some landscape photo (and gunpla of course) and totally forgot about macro photo..

And now after some minor knowledge and minor experience, I decided to try it.. This is my first attempt, the object is Plumeria at my house.

My 1st attempt with a Plumeria leaves

My 2nd attempt, now is the flower

After some thought now I really want to move forward to the next level.. How about a DSLR? Which is preferable? (not to expensive but a decent DSLR) Nikon? Canon? Which type? Price range? Lenses?

(this is because I tried some of my friend DSLR, so really want to have it too.. hehehe...)
