salam wrt.

hi. so this is my first post after i decided to photo blog again.

i just got myself an Olympus OMD EM10, which to date is the most expensive camera i have bought so far.
actually the reason i'm doing this again is because i sort of promise myself that i would at least post a photo once a day. the camera is bloody expensive, (well at least to a non-professional and not-that-kind-of-enthusiast-yet like me) so i might as well put it into good use and hone my skills along the way.

i actually also have a Sony NEX 5n which is a good camera by the way but i guess i am always a fan of olympus cameras. Bought the 5n approximate 2 years ago before i went with my wife to Bali. At that point of time we needed an all rounder that is compact and capable as we're thinking of children along the way but i guess as a hobbyist, good quality sony lenses are prohibitively high so i decided to buy into a micro 43rds.

this morning i went for a walk at a semi-deserted open area near my apartment block just to try out my new camera.

i decided to name the blog 100 days of istiqomah because i think thats how many days i need to turn this into a habit that will last long.

this pic was taken using the built-in art filter soft-focus effect of the camera.

actually i have been trying to get myself to be istiqomah in a lot of other things--- like to never miss the jamaah prayer in the masjid for subuh and isyak, to read the quran everyday and so on. i hope in a way this might actually help.

this pic was taken using the built-in mild sephia art filter effect of the camera.

Maybe along the way i will talk about other matters as well, turn this into a blog full with opinions and other affairs that are of interest to me.

we'll see about that. insya allah.

salam.
