Meminta agar selalu dapat bersyukur

Ya Allah, anugerahilah aku kemampuan untuk mensyukuri nikmat-Mu yang telah Engkau anugerahkan kepadaku dan kepada ibu bapakku dan kiranya aku dapat berbuat amal saleh yang Engkau ridhai; curahkanlah kebaikan kepadaku dengan (memberi kebaikan) kepada anak cucuku.

Sesungguhnya aku bertaubat kepada-Mu dan sesungguhnya aku termasuk orang-orang yang berserah diri. Dan semoga shalawat/ rahmat dan kasih sayang tercurah kepada junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad Saw beserta keluarga dan sahabat beliau. Amin.

Ilmu

Hanya sedikit mengutip..

Ilmu merupakan harta abstrak titipan Allah Subhanahu wata’ala kepada seluruh manusia yang akan bertambah bila terus diamalkan, salah satu pengamalannya adalah dengan membagi-bagikan ilmu itu kepada yang membutuhkan.
Janganlah sombong dengan ilmu yang sedikit, karena jika Allah Subhanahu wata’ala berkehendak ilmu itu akan sirna dalam sekejap, beritahulah orang yang tidak tahu, tunjukilah orang yang minta petunjuk, amalkanlah ilmu itu sebatas yang engkau mampu.

jadi.. masih mau pelit dengan ilmu?

Camera, the maintenance

Since the late of nineties, digital camera become a common interest on photography. The superiority of these digital camera are because they are very handy, relatively cheap, and very easy to use.
But, as its predecessor -the analog camaras- we need to know how to maintain our digital photo camera to make sure it will always in a prefect condition. These points might give you (and me too, of course) some clues on how to be sure that our camera will be ready everytime we need it.

Ideal shape of camera

The first permanent photograph was made in 1814 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce using a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier in Paris. It was so big and heavy. The shape was a box made from woods and painted in black color, and it’s foots are as heavy as the camera it self. Using this camera on the early time was so complicated.


You may understand why did the photo journalistic are very late compared to writing era. The printing press has deployed it’s writing since more than 300 years ago -In 2005, the World Association of Newspapers accepted evidence that Johann Carolus (1575 - 1634) pamphlet was printed beginning in 1605-, while photographs start to printed on newspaper on New York Daily Graphic in US dated on March 4th, 1880. The first photo on it was Shantytown oil field taken by Henry J. Newton. The camera was became the most obstacle in photo journalistic be cause of it’s weight. Photo journalists would not be productive if the camera he use needs more people to carry the camera and it’s tools.

When is the right time to buy a new camera?

That question might could change to “how long do a camera last?” or “how many years until I should decided to buy a new camera?”.
Well, the world of photography -and present day it has already change to a digilat era- has already change. There was a time when photography is a profession or a hobby, but now it become like a lifestyle. The passion to have a digital camera are almost the same as how it feel to have a cellphone.

We might still could remember when we may use a camera for a very long time -if not forever-, now in the digital era, we may say that camera has a limited lifetime. The inside parts of the camera, such as chips in it, can not last forever. Or, the worst thing is that if the camera has already not-up-to-date anymore, regarding to the technologies in the new cameras. Of course, technologies always move a step forward every time we realize.

Solar eclipse, January 26, 2009 (part II)

Yesterday, January 26, 2009… I finally could see the annular solar eclipse. It was so very beautiful. Thanks to my lovely Cle, without her I probably could not see it and capture the moment.
Here, I posted (only) 3 pictures I captures yesterday.

I found that this kind of phenomena was not easy to capture it with my (regular) digital camera, but at least I’ve tried.
All the images are taken only by my Olympus E-500, Kit-lens ZD 14-45 (f/3.5-5.6), and Zoom lens ZD 40-150 (f/3.5-4.5). I didn’t use any special equipment for capturing eclipse. The additional equipment was only a Velbon tripod and double UV filters (Matin and Kokaii) only.
I was so excited to try and did not care if my camera will break after yesterday. First, I was only try using my Standard zoom Zuiko Digital Lens (14-45mm, f/3.5-5.6) in P-mode. but hei.. I couldn’t capture anything even when I use f/22. It was all so bright! well… I’m still an amateur on photography, rite?
Then I change my camera to M-mode (manual) and try to change everything from f number and the speed. and the moment could only captured in 1/4000 s and f/22. wow!!! well… remember, I did not use any other filter. I should have try to use a CPL filter, an ND, or use a film coating. Well.. next time maybe, if I had the chance to be in that next time.
Then after several shoots and realize that the image of the solar was too small, I decided to change my lens to Zuiko Digital zoom lens (40-150mm, f/3.5-4.5) directly in M-mode, 1/4000 and f/22.
The result? walla!!!! that’s nice!!! and I couldn’t stop capturing the moment… mmm… I realize that I have lost the moment when the eclipse start until it was becoming a ring shape.
Well… that was it.

the moment I was originally planned with my brother, Ical.
bRO, this one is for you, as I promised you that I will come to see the solar eclipse. I couldn’t go to Lampung, I couldn’t go with you, but this is the best I could do, bRO.. as my last promise to you.

note: thanks to sawung, updating all the information about this solar eclipse. and thanks, too, to ria who joining Cle and me.

Solar eclipse, January 26, 2009


This is the last promise I made to my brother, Ical, who passed away on last October’s end, to see the solar eclipse directly from the right place. This one is an annular solar eclipse which will be visible across the Southern Ocean and Indonesia on January 26, 2009.
The annular phase runs from 06:02:39 UT, when the eclipse begins in the South Atlantic, to the end of the eclipse in the Celebes Sea at 09:54:44 UT, while the maximum eclipse is at 07:58:39 UT. Meanwhile the partial eclipse will be visible over southern Africa, the Indian Ocean and most of Australasia between 04:56:38 UT and 11:00:41 UT.
Here, in Indonesia, the best place to witness this phenomenon is Lampung and places around it in south part of Sumatera. The other great places are Cilegon, Serang, Anyer and places around them for Java, and some places in the middle of Kalimantan. So, please come to those places to be one of many witnesses.

Blacklist numbers

Guys…
Kalau ada yang tau nomer-nomer di bawah ini, ada yang punya nomer-nomer HP di bawah ini. Tolong kasih tau gw.
Nomer ini sangat mengganggu dan selalu menelpon atau sms dengan bahasa-bahasa yang tidak jelas dan tidak senonoh.
SEDANGKAN PROVIDER DI INDONESIA TIDAK PERNAH MAU MEMBERIKAN DATA APAPUN BILA DITANYA!!
UNTUK APA ADA REGULASI MENDAFTARKAN IDENTITAS PADA SAAT MENGAKTIFKAN NOMOR BARU?

085695218048
085282697702
02198883756
081977728180
087880465076
087877998609
08195588221
087877753052
087877753053
087877753054
081584228456
+60133365658 (Malingsia number)
081322298016

Aturan mengenai pendaftaran identitas pada saat mengaktifkan nomor baru pun sangat lemah caranya. bukankah masih bisa menggunakan nama dan no. ID palsu dan alamat palsu?
Harus ada aturan yang disempurnakan untuk ini. JANGAN MALAS BERPIKIR!!

note:
kalo ada yang berbaik hati, bisa tolong cari tau sekalian siapa pemilik nomor2 di atas.
dan list ini bisa saja bertambah terus, karena tampaknya ada orang yang bisa punya atau menggunakan banyak nomor, entah pinjam atau jualan nomor HP, contoh aja nomor berurutan seperti yang ada di list tersebut. 0878777530-52/53/54.

Damn!

thanks, guys…
