I’ve always been a fan for anime featuring mechas. My most favorite tittles would be almost any MS Gundam tittle from Universal Century Timeline. They have the most close to real storyline, cool and realistic mecha design, and one of the most comprehensive made-up physic background to support their stories.
But for a sheer stupid fun, My choice is the super robot genre. And one of the is Getter Robo series. Recently, I saw the total remake of the original series, and immediately hooked up by it’s opening theme song “Dragon”, performed by none other than JAM Project.
And I saw this on youtube.
They actually perform that an acoustic version of “Dragon”. These are some of the most talented people on earth
I went to Pentax User Gathering yesterday, which was held on 2nd floor of Oktagon Photography shop.
The theme was “How to maximize your Pentax System”. Now why would you make the theme in english, when 100% of the attendant are Indonesian?
Anyway, It was interesting. Mr Johan Kertakusuma shared lots of tips and tricks about -well of course- how to maximize your pentax system. It is very nice that he offers solutions to most of our problem using the most standart equipments that from the most avid photographer to cheapass hobbyist like me
would likely to have, such as built in flash 
. I learned a lot from Mr. Johan Kertakusuma, mainly about fill-in flash, metering, etc. There was also a try-out session for a couple of lenses and flash units. I immediately fall in love with the SMC-P DFA 100mm F2.8 Macro, and it immediately breaks my heart by flashing its price-tag 
Well I ended buying the AF360FGZ flash unit, which was on “Special Offer” list
The show was closed with photo session with ms. Jenny Cortez as the model.
Oktagon was kind enough to lend us three unit of pocketwizard to control the lighting equipments, and all of us take turns using them. well there was no turns…
Well, anyway. This was shot with my SMC-P DA 40mm F2.8 on K100D, ISO 1600, no flash.
Cropped and picasaed to add glow effect to hide the noise
