Hi, my name is Michael. Normally known around the net as Michaelooi, the unscrupulous guy who writes inane stuffs on his blog for his sheer twisted self absorbing pleasure. Whatever.

But there’s one side of me that not many people know of – that is my naturally given aptitude in arts and photography which have made me millions of bucks. Alright, I lied. I’m just another guy who’s very compassionate in arts and never became good enough of it to be a professional. And it has been 8 years since I’ve been doing this – capturing the sights that I love with my cameras, or any photography equipment I happen to lay my hands on.

But that’s not important really. What’s more important, is that I’ve been given a chance to showcase amongst the worst of my work here to torture your mind, and we’ll have to thanks Digisniper for that. Constructive feedbacks will be appreciated.

My cameras : Canon EOS 350D, Nikon FM2, Sony F707, Canon Ixus 500, Minolta Riva Zoom Pico (sometimes even disposable cameras…)
My photoblog : Capacity Overload
My blog : michaelooi.net

This picture was taken outside my apartment a few months ago. It’s the same view I see when I go to work every morning. It was on that morning, that the shutterbug bit me and got me into capturing this view…

Canon EOS 350D F8 4″ ISO100

Well as you might guess, this is a photoblog! It will have photos (duh!), photoshop tutorials, stuff about equipment (both Canon and Nikon! plus the others like Fuji, Olympus etc..), how to use your equipment, some technical stuff like ISO, aperture etc for those who are interested and whatever else we can think of, or you ask for.

There are a few photoblogs in Malaysia already, but they don’t get talked about much so here we plan to bring together like-minded people who love photography, those who are already good to share their knowledge with those that wish to learn and anyone else interested in appreciating the art of photography and give the whole scene boost.

To start there will be four of us, maybe more later. I’ll let everyone introduce themselves.

I’ll start up with a picture, this was taken in Penang with my old Canon Powershot A70 at the seafront near Fort Cornwallis.

For any pictures posted in this blog, you can click on the picture to see a larger version in a Lightbox, make sure the site is fully loaded first though before you click or it might not work properly. Do have some patience as the high res version might take some time to load.

If there’s anything in particular you want us to cover, do let us know! If not we’ll happily carry on posting pictures.

There’s a little more about the site here.

Don’t worry this is not another cut and paste blog, this will have real content! If you also wish to contribute (you are into photograhpy etc, want to share some tips or just share your pictures) drop us a line.
