So, how do you usually have your breakfast?

The tip given on near and far photo challenge was to use smallest possible aperture to get focus on both near and far end of the image. But instead of doing so, I opted the opposite approach.

One night, I went out street photo shooting with my friend, Rio. This is Rio’s iPhone at the near end, capturing light trails. While at the far end, the light trails are projected on the iPhone screen.

Interesting topic for this week photo challenge is urban. So here I present you an image of urban life in Surabaya — traffic congestion, even in evenings. Most people prefer to invest their fortunes on cars or motorcycles and flood the roads with the privately owned vehicles since public transportation systems do not suffice their needs of simplicity, flexibility and safety.

Wedding rings are not only a symbol of marriage, but also to merge two big families.

Wrong: this is jasmine tea beverage, in tetra pak packaging, but branded “Teh botol sosro” – or if translated to english becomes “Bottled sosro tea”.

So where’s the bottle?

It is not easy for me to interpret growth, visually. But anyway, this is my entry for this week photo challenge: Growth on a very hostile habitat.

I’ve recently puchased this purple bottled fragrance coz I love the sexy notes of sandalwood, vetiver, amber, musk and tonka bean. The combination of those makes a soft base notes. The additional scent of lavender creates the floral top note and provides the initial scent of the fragrance.

Initially fresh, crisp and clean, the White Musk reveals masculine scents blended with sensual notes of musk to create an addictive, alluring sensuality that radiates across the fragrance – leaves skin sensuously scented. Overally, this reminds me of the good old Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent. Only far more economic, and vastly available in many stores not far from home.

Vehicle may appear pretty fashionable at the exterior. But inside the engine hood, lies a 120 horsepower monster. And sometimes it is exciting to unleash the beast within…

Boy in red shirt was resting while his friends were playing football. The boy was dreaming that someday he could be a famous national football player like Irfan Bachdim.

It was not easy to freeze such rapid movement, especially when there was not enough light to compensate shutter speed. But anyway, these are my speed junkie fellows, racing go-kart for fun.

Fleeting moment was captured as I walk by the pavement and found a biker outside the bikes lane (lajur sepeda).

How was your Sunday morning?

First, you need a black cloth. And make a small heart shaped hole on it. The hole I made was approximately 7.5 mm in diameter.

Then, use the black cloth to cover the lens. Like this:

That’s it. Now feel free to experiment with various combinations of aperture and focus points…

Have fun
