Nikon D3000

I bought a Nikon D3000 a week ago.... cost $988 and bought it from courts.... yes is an impulse buy... I actually wanted to wait for another 2 or 3 months... until i have saved the FULL amount.... really.. i was really going to wait...

until that night...

We (Lim and me) went to courts for a walk... you know.. looking at cooking .... stuff... then made a detour to the camera section... and it caught my eye... "0% installment plan..."

Why should i wait for another 2 or 3 months when i have have it now?! And is not like i can't pay $82.33333333333333 per month.... you know... why not?

i know... there are interest and stuff... the whole "0%" thing is a bullshit as it is already counted inside the price.... but is like why should i be broke after getting the camera? right? I am spending 82 dollars per month for a year and not 988 for that month.... ... ain't that bad.... see, after getting the camera, I still have enough money to go diving genting or save a few hundred and get a dry cabinet or some extra lens...


..... heck... give me that camera! I am buying it TODAY.... They threw in a tripod, camera bag, 8GB SD card, a lens cleaning kit and plus a huge kick ass umbrella....


I'm a happy girl.... hoo!

Took a few test shots, and spend 2 days reading the manual...

Then I got shots like these...













yup... you must be wandering why i have my signature at the lower right hand corner of each photo... I am planning to sell them at shutterstock.com..... it is about 0.25USD PER DOWNLOAD...
so if I get 1000 downloads i get 250USD.... not bad right?

and maybe sell them in my website in the near future...
I mean, you never know right...
yup... still working on it... above is a small screen shot of what the index, aka homepage, will look like...

Of course, my pictures are not that great... still a noob....and this is a really good platform to help me improve... and who knows, I might be able to get my first 250USD from shutterstock 6 months later.. (I'm being optimistic here... ) :)
and is better to take pictures with a purpose you know... and not just take and keep them in your hard disk for the next 2 to 3 years... is like a motivational force... coxing me to take more interesting photos...

Lim don't like the beach sea and fish

I always thought my boyfriend likes the sea... How I know??

He says he chooses maritime because it is related to the sea...

He spends at lest 15 to 30 mins looking at fish and corals... And even tell me the names of the fish....

One of his favourite pass time is fishing...

He LOVES to eat fish...

He can name most of the fish and ships he sees

So I thought... Why not let's go diving on his birthday... And I will sponsor his trip... And guess what he says...

"huh...don't want la... I want to try the free one before I decide"

Nice....

If he propose to me I am going to ask him for a free trial before i decide... Further more this is marriage... Not just a simple diving lesson....
