Ever since this page went up http://www.canon.com/moon/en/index.html it is getting everyone excited. A lot of rumours has surface on the internet that it could be the 5D replacement namely 5D MK II or 7D. However, nothing has been released on the spec except for some 'prediction'. Can't wait for it to launch !

Fungus can grow inside a lens if it has moisture being left there for a long time. However, fungus can easily be killed if they got expose to sunlight. That said, you should use your lens regularly (every week) and rest assure you shouldn't have fungus. Shoot an object a day, keep the fungus away ! hahaha
Unluckily, one of the lens my brother own has fungus in it and I have decided to give it a try to remove it.
I shall warn you DO NOT FOLLOW WHAT I WILL SHOW YOU BELOW. DO NOT ! DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !
The problem.
This is how fungus looks like on my brother's Konica Minolta 75-300mm f4.5-5.6

I got panic for a while when I cannot transfer to photoshop the photo i wanted to edit using the short cut Alt + P in DPP. I thought I pressed the wrong short cut, and thus i decided to do it the manual way by clicking on Tools -> Transfer to Photoshop. Deng it still fail !
I have been into this situation before, what I did was to make sure Photoshop is my default application to open *.TIF. After that it's all back to normal again. So I decided to blog it and so I'll had it permanently.
Something i read sometime ago which is very useful for people who just got into photography. The one most common question is why my shots are blur? wat shutter speed to use?
It's pretty simple, basic rules is 1/x shutter speed, in which x = focal length.
Example:
u using a 18-55mm lens, when shooting at 55mm you will need 1/55 s. However, due to the crop factor in digital body, we need to multiply with the crop factor. so instead of 1/55 s it becomes 1/88 s which is around 1/80s.
A simple chart for you all

Yup I'm a proud father. My wife gave birth to a baby girl on 19th June 08. It is seriously another chapter in my life. I was with my wife but not in the room not because i'm afraid of blood, but I cannot bear the pain she is having. I just have to leave the room and stay outside or I think i'll whack the Dr. and nurses.
Well I do trust that they can do a good job as such i left. The actual pain lasted around 1.5 hour and I was outside hearing her complaining of pain. I left the hospital at 3.30am, and I went home, and i can tell you I can't sleep because I really felt the pain she was having. OUCH !
Less talking more photos
This is when she just born, about 1 hour old, the first thing I notice was her lips, so like her mother.
Day 1 - at home
Day 2 - sleeping most of her time
Day 3 - She opens her eyes, and peep at us
Day 4 - My mom feeding her
After a week of downtime, it's finally back !
Gonna post some of the recent activity here very soon. Stay tune !
I recently purchased 2x HP DL360 with dual Quad core and 4GB of ram. For some reason it only shows 3.24 GB
After some google, i found that it's the limitation on 32-bit processor. By adding the /PAE to the C:\boot.ini (hidden) solve the problem.
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003, Standard" /noexecute=optout /fastdetect /PAE
