"Take Off" is my first photo that was posted as selected cover at www.megapixel.net 

The photo was sent a day after I sent "Hang On". Just received a reply from John Mello that they were reviewing the photo. No news from John Mello for almost a month, made me thinking that the photo was rejected.

I just knew the photo was selected from a congratulation email sent by Om Budi at milislfcn. At that time, I wondered what photo was selected since I had send another photo after "Take Off".

Thank you to Om Jeff who introduced me about birding & thank you to Om Wilya who encouraged me to send my photo at that web.

"Hang On" is my first photo that was selected to be posted to www.megapixel.net's Macro & Close-Ups Galery

Om Wilya encouraged me to send my photos to www.megapixel.net. After I had my bravery,  I sent this photo to that web. A day after I sent this photo, John Mello, the Managing Editor of Megapixel.net, replied the email, he asked me to resend the photo with different size. Then, I resent the photo with the size requiered by John Mello.

One day Om Wilya sent me a massage, told me that my photo was selected to be posted. Wah I was surprised & excited at that time since i didn't expect about this. Till now I am still surprised

Thanks to Om Wilya who encouraged me to send my photos to www.megapixel.net

"Just For You" is my first photo that got the "Editor's Pick" at www.betterphoto.com 

I was surprised since I didn't expect this photo will be selected as "Editor's Pick". This photo was entered in free contest at www.betterphoto.com without any expectation. At that time I just want to share the photo I was taken at that web and want to challenge my bravery to enter a contest.

I shot this photo when I had my first flower workshop with Om Jeffry Surianto. And for this flower (gladiol) I just only had one shot.

Thanks to Om Jeff who encouraged me to enter the contest at www.betterphoto.com.

Dari milis sebelah...

Ada emoticon yang punya sebutan Kaomoji, yang mulai merebak penggunaanya di kalangan netter dan pengguna SMS. Kaomoji berasal dari Jepang. Secara harafiah, kao berarti wajah, dan moji berarti huruf. Jadi, bisa diartikan bahwa Kaomoji adalah huruf-huruf yang dapat mencerminkan ekspresi wajah. Tampilan Kaomoji lebih ekspresif, dibandingkan face mark buatan Amerika, seperti :D atau :-P atau :-). Memahaminya pun tidak perlu memiring-miringkan kepala Anda. Cukup sedikit berimajinasi dengan menatapnya secara tegak lurus, seperti kita membaca biasa. Unsur-unsur karakter khusus yang membentuknya biasanya terdiri dari tanda kurung tutup sebagai wajah, tanda kutip sebagai mata, dan garis bawah sebagai mulut. Kadang kita pun dapat menambahkan gerakan tangan dengan menyisipkan karakter tertentu. Sekilas mirip dengan tokoh-tokoh kartun gaya Jepang. Mukanya bulat, dengan ekspresi mata khas kartun anime. Elemen utamanya adalah karakter tanda kurung yang membentuk pipi dan dan garis bawah yang membentuk mulut.

Contohnya, (^_^) yang digunakan untuk mengekspresikan senyum, atau sedang bahagia. Kalau senyum terpaksa, hilangkan saja tanda kurungnya, sehingga menjadi ^_^.
Ingin menggunakan ekspresi tangan? Bisa saja. Misalnya ingin mengacungkan jempol tanda salut, tinggal ketik seperti ini (^_^)d. Selain itu, Anda juga bisa menampilkan simbol keringat atau air mata yang sedang mengalir seperti (^ ^;) atau (T-T).

Kaomoji ini cukup fleksibel. Dengan karakter-karakter dasarnya, Anda masih bisa berkreasi lebih jauh untuk menciptakan simbol ekspresi yang lebih unik. Misalnya, saat Anda sedang ber-chatting ria dengan kawan Anda, dan ditanya apa yang sedang Anda lakukan, Anda bisa menjawabnya dengan gaya anime yang unik.

One of my wish list is I want to take a ride on Bajaj BBG

Silly wish list, some people may say so

But for me, it's not a silly thing, I just want to have an experience how is the feeling while I take a ride on Bajaj BBG.

You know the old bajaj, don't you? When you take a ride on old bajaj, you will be deaf since the machine sound is so noisy, you will be shaked since old bajaj don't have good shock breaker & spring, etc. Those are the reasons why I want to take a ride on Bajaj BBG.

Another reason is in my neighbourhood Bajaj BBG is very rare

Ah, just yesterday finally I took a ride on Bajaj BBG

Just like my expectation, I like taking ride on Bajaj BBG. The seat is wider than old bajaj. The noise is much softer than old bajaj. The shock breaker & spring are also good as you take a ride on car.

After having this experience, other wish lists come to my mind. I want more hahaha & I want to shot Bajaj BBG in panning mode hahaha
