Innovative = Transition
Finally, Air Asia has direct flight from Kota Kinabalu to Jakarta (March) & Bali (May), Indonesia. Bali to Perth (June), Australia. I’m doing the designing for STB for the Dive road show in Jakarta. This project, we use 1 week to process. Choose photos > editing > layout > present > amendment > final touch up…+- final production > deal to client.

Now I using iPod touch to present my work to my client.
Sometime, I feel that my client more impress…. my iPod touch than my work. ;”p
I am very great that today technology so advance. Make my design work process very fast. What I mean is the computer generating very fast, the processor now up to 2.5 GHz very fast and display card fly up to 512MB VRAM.Not like last time, save file more than 100MB duration time is I can go to kitchen make coffee than drink than wash the cup than go back and check the file… still saving. Today, no more nightmare! This is the transition for the computer world.
Celcom Broadband is very convenience to me! I can online in every corner.
Below is my main gear! My partner! Canon 30D, iMac & iPod touch. This is my design & photography team. ERrr… include the Kamen Rider.

iMac join with us mid of last year. We work together very well. I love his performance. How iMac join us? …My iBook…

Last year May 2007 she is very sick. She can’t even open her eye! But still alive (blank screen, HD can run). So send her to KL hospital. Doctor say have to change part (logic board problem). After she came back from KL. Her eye still something wrong somewhere. So send back to hospital check again. This time is her eye problem (screen)… After operation… The cost can buy a new Macbook…
Don’t said I stupid ya… What to do my friend! I have to follow my other printing partner. They are still using old machine and old software. Lucky now they upgrade already. Just pass PDF file to them and direct output. Very easy and fast! No need link here and there. The nightmare is gone…
I love my iBook (2002 till now). No matter how, I have to save her. We fight in the field 5 years. And she help me a lot. That time Mac OS transition (System 9 jump to OS X). The Mac OS interface totally transition!
Before that, I have 2 fighter with me. That is Power Macintosh 7300 (1997 till now) & 9600 (1999 till now, below). Look at the APPLE previous logo.
And my assistant Epson Style colour 1520.
1997 – They are the ONE who support me to build up Melvin Ho Graphics…
Today! The 2 fighters is retired and my assistant… sleeping beauty (1997 – 2003)… For future, MHG have to grow up!
This year we’ll manage to welcome ONE new partner! Hope the new partner… Nimble, meet quick!

are u using lightroom to edit your photo? i find it very userfriendly, make ur work a lot faster. of coz, if u need something pro, lightroom may seems to be a bit low class, but if u need something urgent, lightroom could be a good choice.
Nope. I use iphoto and photoshop.
Normally, I use iphoto to edit my photo. iphoto got 1 feature ‘copy and paste’ which is very useful to me. With in 1 hour I can edit 400 pictures. If creative/commercial photo I use photoshop.
In this post, only pic 3 & 5 made some effect in photoshop. The others no edit. Don’t count on my template ya. Hehehehe…
Talking about photography. If u can get the right white balance & right expose & play around with depth of view. Editing will in less. ;D
so do lightroom, got the copy and paste function. worth to have a look. tat is what my friend told me la. he is apple fans as well.. hehe..
i dun take photo, but due to surrounded by too many photograph maniac friends, i also got some knowledge about photography. a little bit only la. did u go for louise pang workshop the other day?
photography is a costly hobby (the camera body is still ok, but the accssorries like lens, bags, tripod, battery grip, good computer, memory, printer etc is deadly), just thinking of buying a DSLR, any recommendation? at the moment i am considering A200 (bcoz is cheap enough with two lens) or Nikkon D80 (better future expansion and i can borrow some lens from my friends). I wont buy canon bcoz buy those lens will kill me. haha.
Ici. Mmmm…. If I’m not mistaken, Lightroom is a new software for vs Aperture tu. Got story tu.
Apple 1st came up iphoto for simple photo editing. Some more came with machine. Adobe not siok already, so came out Lightroom same as iphoto. I think Lightroom better than iphoto. Lightroom is the complement to Photoshop CS.. Adobe tu. Then Apple come up Aperture. Now market topic is Aperture vs Lightroom.
No. I can’t manage to go there. I have project on. I think I miss it. My friend told me about Louis Pang action in the workshop. I agree with LP camera and software is just a tools, skill is more important than tool. Cos we control the tool not tool control us. We have to know their feature/function and apply on your work.
Yup, photography is a costly hobby. But how you play with it. May be you can start buy second lens. Test on your camera and practice it. Step by step upgrade mah. I also pass from there. Don’t follow the wind, follow yourself! (your budget, Don’t aim new accesorries). Or you can buy 3rd party lens.
Aaaa… You ask my recommend ah? Hahahahaha… For me Canon lah. Delighting You Always! Focusing fast, noise low, and setting user-friendly. Talking about lens. Actually Nikon lens more expenses than Canon tu. Canon start DSLR use CMOS technology. Now Nikon and Sony change from CCD to CMOS. Why? Because of the energy (battery), noise and speed. I think this is the last war of CCD and CMOS. Those technology was designed after World War II tu. I forgot which year. Never mind, who Invented this 2 technology from same person tu… Surprise leh. Salah-salah Canon & Nikon……. Who knows?
Lastly, I give you some photography advise never aim for cheap! After 1 month u will regret tu (Talk from my experience).
Cheers Yuan! Welcome to DSLR world. Choose gear to sui u oh. And better have own lens. My lens, I don’t borrow to ppl. Even thought u buy Canon oh. Wahahahaha…
I still like the old mechanical cameras! It gives a sense of fun and you can perhaps learn more about taking pictures (I may be wrong….ha).
I do agree that in this age of high technology, ease of use and speed are the essential features to users. Isn’t film still give you the best resolution?
i will definately buy my own lens, but the range is limited… which lens do u think is the best shooting range for normal use?
Andrew: ya… film still give the best resolution, haha.
the highest digital resolution i think is from NASA, 1 photo will occupy 24G harddisk space…OO”

Technology give us a lot of convenience. But we have to follow and upgrading ourselves. If not stay behind tu… ;P
Yup. Film still the best, I mean in resolution. But not convenience loh. Can’t see mistake on the spot and costly again. Film can’t last long unless u have a good storage. Digital, very convenience. I can see my photos everywhere, such as tv, computer, handphone or ur gadget Which film can’t to. Pro & con lah… See what u need/want it. Am I right? Hehehe…
Aiya… How to compare to NASA? Now DSLR reached to 21mp cost RM 20k tu! Even now, I use RAW file, the file size 35mb (8mp). If 21mp = 280mb. And depend on which RAW file u r using. And also u need a ultra-super-hight computer to process it. 24g? WOw! Don’t play me oh… I try 1g filei b4.
See how u look at it… Who doesn’t want the world best camera (for photographer)? Do u mind the cost? the value? and ur market?
Yuan: I prefer u use 17-200mm. No regret tu for starting. Welcome to the DSLR world!
Great work.
Thanks!
