The “Glue” Assassin

 

went a reserve jungle with my friends and family … and have a quick macro hunting … found a weird assassin bug where it stay close to tress with sticky (white, brown) liquid … and it’s “hand” change from tiny to bigger claw (just look like crab claw)  .. not sure what they want to do that .. and if possible I will re-visit and see whether it use for food hunting ? (other insect stuck on the sticky liquid just can go away easily)

… last sunrise for 2011 with limit focal length …

limit by focal length (this view should good with single frame ~70mm FF) .. as I borrow my 70200 to my gang and left with 150mm with 7d (crop body) … to make this view .. I have to create ~15 pictures to merge … and final output is ~120megapix picture ….

... last sunrise for 2011 with limit focal length ...

why GND and RGND ?

did a quick compare into single image .. for why we use GND and RGND

left … – no filter while foreground correct expose but the sky will look over

Center – with GND 1.2, the sky will be balance as reduce light go through on the top part but the horizontal level still look over due to the light source from there

right – the filter transit from center to top (darker at center) so managed to block more light at the horizontal level and maintain the details

there is no right and wrong in photography .. but using different filters will give you how your picture look like …..

and if you look for Lee Filter .. Singh-Ray … i may have some stock available

Terrible Service from Canon Malaysia Service Center !!!

so far, I am happy with Canon products but not really for the service .. previously I complaint once for the sensor cleaning … they make 200-300++ dusts spots after cleaning … and before clean was 20-50 …

but again after 1year, while I have my Len stuck with my EOS 5dm2 .. so I have no choice send it for remove and do a full test/verify (shutter, sensor, dusts….)

27 Dec 2011

camera & Len sent in for len remove, button check, shutter check, sensor check & dust cleaning

5 Jan 2012

– call Canon service center for status update and is that possible for me to collect my len as I do believe len remove should be done after so many days

– call agent told me technician not around and will get them update me .. but no one call me !!!!!!

9 Jan 2012

– call again CANON service center for status update but again .. technician not available !!!! and promise to get someone call me … and even offer me remember her name

– BUT again no one call me …..

 

10 Jan 2012

– call CANON service center will little high tone

– “call agent” told me quotation already out 29 Dec 2011 and pending for approval from me  !!!!!!! and I ask why I call in for few times no one tell me and I did not receive any quotation at all !!!!!

– the “call agent” told me… “sir, if you want your len and camera back… then you can come collect now without repair”  … I am not sure this is a joke or what …. am I too free to send my camera and len without repair ????

– Service Manager call me to say sorry la .. miscommunication .. etc .. but I say how could it be .. as I call in for few times and no one tell me about the quotation .. and do I HAVE CHOICE >>>?????

– after the confirm repair, i ask when can I get my camera and Len back. Lam told me for other service they need time to check and verify

– after 15min, he even call me offer to loan me a 5dm2 until my camera is repair.

– BUT after 1++ hour,  a technician call me and told me my camera and len ready to pick up !!!!! so 1++ hour job need ~10days to get me update ? (I even call in ask for update)

– I wonder they can change mirror box, clean sensor dust, viewfinder dust, sensor pixel mapping in 1hour +++ ?????? and if YES, why they keep my equipments for days ?

I will go to service center tomorrow for this …. and hope all the tasks have been completed as request (I doubt so .. how many want to bet they pass me back a camera without dusts cleaning ? )

This is so call CANON service in MALAYSIA !!!!! I will definite want to avoid their service in future …  juvenile, chick, liewwk
