Google Chrome & IE8 - NO Colour Management

Yes, i know the new chrome browser from google is awesomely fast and the whole world loves it! But.. chrome is NOT colour managed and displays a very dull & bland image. This is a HUGE issue, it applies to IE8 as well.

You can confirm this yourself, open the same image of your liking on the web with both browsers. See for your self. You are encouraged to use do this test with any photo on my site or this blog.

If you are into photography or image manipulation or just browse the web viewing peoples lovely photos, and happen to use google's chrome, then i recommend you forget chrome and Un-Install it! 

Use Firefox! Its the only properly colour managed browser. Well, there is another..apple's safari, but that has another set of problems, so for now, its only Firefox.

If you want to know more about this issue, google it up.

With that said.. I DO NOT RECOMMEND anyone viewing my photos or giving me C&C with any web browser other than Mozilla Firefox.

Colour is Life. Life is in Colour!

The Tree - A Vertical Panorama

Ya, i know. Boring right. Simple tree shot, not even whispering interest... Sorry. ;) It is my first vertical panorama, stitched from 13 horizontal shots panning upwards. 

One hot & humid sunday, slightly around lunch time, we were loitering around one of the trails at FRIM. This is one of the tallest trees i found with a clear view all the up to the canopy. SO, there you have it...

Bento on the fasttrack - Hachigo KLCC

Too busy and just need a quick filling bite? Fed-up with the usual fast-food? Japanese bento is the answer. Fast and mobile food that's made fresh really really quick. Ok, there is some wait time but its still pretty quick compared with the usual fast-food outlets. This weeks food review brought us to Hachigo at KLCC with Aly And Hawa. Oh, photographing at KLCC requires the photographer(s) to obtain a pass! And the conceirge is sooo faar from the food court.. ;) 

Imagine that.

Nagomi at Jaya33 (The "All New")

Yes, Japanese food is very nice! But i still don't like fish..although i love salmon because it does not taste like fish or have a fishy taste. I Like Beef! At Nagomi, everything is excellent..the food, the sake, the beer..so everything works out to an enjoyable evening with Aly and the usual RedFM gang as we ate, drank and photographed our way through another huge spread for the weekly food review.

I strongly recommend the Kobe Beef. Its not from this planet! 

Aly's Review of Nagomi is here, and my complete album is here.

Enjoy!

Paya Serai Ramadhan Buffet, The Hilton PJ

Hello Everybody! With the Muslim fasting-month of Ramadhan just around the corner, off we went to check out a Happening Malay Food buffet for "buka puasa" at the PJ Hilton. What better timing right? The buffet is highly rated and considered by many to be the best Ramadhan buffet one can have around here.. So, along with Aly, Terry and Hazim of RedFM, i went wining and dining and took some shots with some new hardware.

Check out Aly's Food Review of Paya Serai.

Kula Shaker in Kuala Lumpur - 05 August 2010

It was a awesome memorable concert. The crowd was small, and it was very comfortable. 

The Sound and Atmosphere was Mind-Blowing! 

Kula Shaker was just pure Energy! Loud!
