I love cycling on my java veloce road bike to punggol boardwalk


Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping.

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I went out cycling yesterday on my Java Veloce road bike and it makes me realize how much I miss it. I usually went cycling when there's a long holiday weekend. So, I won't be too tired the next day at work. It was kinda a last-minute decision as I thought I would just rest at home.

Well, I'm glad, I decided to go. Although, it's just a quick ride. Usually, when I went out cycling, I'm in mission mode. Bringing along my Nikon camera to take photos of places I visited. I decided to just have a nice ride along the cycling path and then return home.

I've checked the weather forecast and it was supposed to be sunny early in the morning and heavy rainfall in the afternoon. It was already dark and started drizzling by the time I reached my target destination. I managed to get some pictures and videos of the places I stop by.

You can watch the video above or here on my youtube channel. That's part of the reason why I love cycling. I get to go out and do some exercise and at the same time visit places that I've never been to before. Also, I started to love photography after I bought my Nikon P950 and Zfc

The Java bike that I bought is the only road bike that I have ever bought and owned. I usually prefer a mountain bike. I always thought road bikes are only for athletes and those loving to race. I decided to get one because I thought it'll be much faster riding one.

I found out that it's actually a fun bike to ride. Although I'm afraid to hurt my back with all that bending, it's not all that bad. I just needed to adjust the seat and the handlebar. But, the speed is what it's all about. I love the feeling of going fast on a straight road.

My budget Java Veloce road bike with its aluminum frame is pretty light and strong. I didn't have to use much power and it was a smooth ride even when the road aren't smooth with cracks and small twigs bumps. I have bad knees so, I don't really want to push too hard. 

I just make sure I have a good rhythm and a constant space. I'm not that young anymore too. I think the maximum speed I went was almost 30km/h. That's when it was a straight road with no other cyclists or joggers. I did try to catch a rider though but in the end, he went another route.

My co-worker used to urge me to buy an e-bike. There's been actually a lot of accidents involving them. They've also been in the news that causing fires because of the battery. I think it's cool but it beats the reason of me getting into cycling for health reasons. 

Yes, my knees feel the strain but I rather enjoy the hard work and the sweats. I like my Java veloce but I'm thinking of getting a Java suprema aero full carbon frame bike. It looks super cool and I'm assuming it's much faster. Right now, I'm into Java bikes. Did you know they collaborate with an Italian designer?

my new retro design nikon z fc 28mm se lens pictures and videos


Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body w/NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR - Silver

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I could finally go out and test my new beautiful retro Nikon z fc with a 28mm se lens camera. I actually have the Astrhori 50mm but kinda lazy to use it also I thought it's best I concentrate on what the 28mm can do first. And, it's good, especially the ability to autofocus.

I can always try out the Astrhori 50mm later on. Though, right now I'm still waiting for my Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Lens. I think one of the reasons I was a little hesitant to use the Astrhori was its manual focus.



Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body w/NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR - Silver

My first camera was the Nikon Coolpix P950. What I really like about it is the 83x optical zoom and 2000mm digital zoom. It's also autofocus. When I bought the z fc, I bought it together with the 28mm see which has autofocus too. Yesterday, when I need to autofocus fast it really helps.

I was trying to catch a moving train and if I had used the Astrhori, I don't think I'll be able to manual focus as fast. Still, I might be trying it out some other time. I'm thinking of revisiting a local Japanese cemetery park. They have some nice flowers growing there.



NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

I'm really starting to have a hang of it. Really fun to go out and take photos using either my P950 or now my Z fc. I also have the GoPro Hero10 black. I like it too. Useful when I need to take some action videos while cycling. One of my friends was amazed by the video quality.

I took some photos with the hero10 and it's actually not that bad. Forget about the zooming quality though. You can watch my GoPro videos here and another one here. The stability is very good. I can't say much for the z fc. It's not as smooth as a GoPro.



GoPro HERO11 Black - Waterproof Action Camera with 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 27MP Photos, 1/1.9" Image Sensor, Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

I should have waited for Hero11. It even has 27mp photos. If I was impressed by Hero10, the Hero11 is definitely another step up. For now, I'll stick with Hero10 as it's my first GoPro. I seldom use it but I always bring it along during my cycling and photography trips. Just in case.

I'm even thinking of getting the Fujifilm X-H2. Looks like a super good camera. But, there are rumors of an X-T5 with almost the same spec as the x-h2. I've never owned a Fujifilm camera but it sounds interesting. The X-T4 already has good reviews.



FUJIFILM X-T4 Systemkamera (26,1 Megapixel, X-Trans CMOS 4 Sensor, 7,6 cm (3 Zoll) Touch-LCD), schwarz

I'm feeling like a kid in a candy store. So many good cameras but no money. Lol. Well, I always say to myself that I have a whole lifetime to try them all out. I'm only just started learning photography and using both my Nikon P950 and Z FC. Both are really good cameras.

I'm also starting to learn which type I prefer. The zooming capabilities and the autofocus is really important to me. I heard that zooming lenses aren't as good as prime lenses. The good news is they're getting better. I hope the Nikon Nikkor Z Dx 50-250mm won't disappoint. Can't wait!

JJC optical glass lcd screen protector for my nikon z fc lcd touchscreen


Screen Protector for Nikon Z fc Zfc Camera, HUIPUXIANG 0.3mm High Definition 9H Hardness Optical LCD Premium Glass Protective Cover [3+1 Pack]

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yes, it's already been 5 days and I'm still covid positive. The good news is my fever and body aches are gone. Maybe, a little cough here and there. Other than that, I'm doing well. I guess, this is a good chance for me to relax at home.

I bought an LCD screen protector for my Nikon z fc. Which is a touch screen. I keep forgetting about that. Before it arrived, I didn't want to get my screen all smudge with my fingerprints without the protector. Once, it arrived, I quickly did a quick install.

Installation is rather easy. As you just need to make sure that it's straight and follows the LCD screen's 4 corners. Make sure you clean the touch screen with the alcohol cleaner. Wipe it with a cloth and use the sticker for any little dust.

After installation, I test the touchscreen and it works perfectly. Having an LCD touchscreen is pretty useful. No wonder most camera reviewers always wanted it. My Nikon p950 LCD wasn't touchscreen and I didn't really care about it.



5 in 1 Dedicated Accessories Bundle Kit for Nikon Zfc Z fc Camera: Metal Hand Grip + Aluminum Alloy Thumb Up Grip + Lens Hood Replaces HN-40 + Glass Screen Protector + Microfiber Cleaning Cloth

I found myself using the touchscreen which is much faster when you want to quickly go through the menu or settings. I wish there is a scroller wheel on the Z fc like on my P950. When I want to go up and down the list, a scroller wheel is much faster than having to press up and down.

Most if not all reviewers of the z fc think the battery cover is flimsy or the texture of the camera is plastic and cheap. Personally, I don't have any complaints about the texture or battery cover. That's just nitpicking. I did buy myself a handgrip for a better grip on the camera.

I'm also looking around for some affordable lenses to be used with my new camera. The 28mm kit is good and sharp. I'm learning how to use it. But, as I have covid and am busy with work, haven't yet tried it outside. No matter as I'm not really in a hurry.

I like cycling to nature parks and beaches. It'll be great for me to bring along my Nikon z fc and take some nice pictures. Besides posting my videos and pics on my youtube channel, I also post them on Google Maps. If you like traveling and taking pictures post them there.



NIKON NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Portrait Fast Prime Lens for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras



NIKON NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 S Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

I'll need to save up if I want to get any of the lenses above. They are pretty expensive. That's why I like my Nikon P950. Its 83x optical zoom is fun to use. And, you don't need to bring along any separate lenses. Well, every camera has its pros and cons.

I'm just happy to have two good cameras to play with now.

finally! my new cool retro nikon z fc camera with 28mm lens kit

Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body w/NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR - Silver

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I hope you had watch my Nikon z fc with 28mm lens kit unboxing. You can watch it here. I'm still waiting for a good day to go out and shoot some pictures with the camera. I usually go cycling to nature parks or beaches and take photos.

Right now, I'm under self-quarantine at home because somehow someone infected me with covid. Luckily, I got the mild versions. The doc had recommended me do the swab test and it was confirmed I have it. Apparently, there's been a spike in covid infection recently.



Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body w/NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR - Silver

No matter. It's not like I'm in a hurry to go out and test my new z fc. I'm actually waiting for my handgrip by Smallrig to be delivered today. I chose the silver design because it looks much nicer than the black one. I'm sure it'll be more ergonomic.

Having a proper handgrip on a camera is a much nicer feeling than a flat one. Especially, if you're gonna use it for a few hours. When I use my Nikon p950 the handgrip makes it much easier and more comfortable to hold.

I'll probably make a video of it later. Besides that, I also bought an AstrHori 50mm F2.0 Large Aperture lens. Now, I'll have the 28 and 50mm for my Nikon z fc. I was hoping to get the 85mm lens but it's kinda expensive. I don't have the budget for that.

If you want a good camera and good lens you might want to start saving now. Anyway, since I'm a newbie photographer, I don't want to spend too much on expensive lenses. With the 28 and 50mm I can play around and see what I can get out of them.



AstrHori 50mm F2.0 Large Aperture Full Frame Manual Prime Lens with Blur Effect & Filter Slot Compatible with Nikon Z-Mount Mirrorless Camera Z50, ZFC, Z5, Z6, Z6ⅡZ7, Z7Ⅱ, Z9, etc(Black)

I'm in a learning phase and using these two lenses on my z fc would be interesting and hopefully fun. Oh, I'm wondering if I can use them to take pictures of the moon like my P950. You can really zoom in on the moon with it. I'll have to wait though as it's been raining and cloudy.

I'm still keeping my z fc camera inside its box. I can test it by taking pictures of the things inside my room but I don't feel like doing it right now. As I've said, I'm waiting for my handgrip and the 50mm lens. I also prefer taking pictures outside.



NIKON NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.8 S Portrait Fast Prime Lens for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

I haven't used this type of camera where you can or have to change the lens for different types of pictures. That's why I wanted to get the 50mm lens. It's also kinda cheap. Whereas the 85mm cost around USD$800. I'll rather play around with my 28 and 50mm first.

There are some 3rd party companies that are selling the lens at almost half the cost. I'm not sure how good they are compared to an original brand name like Nikon. Unless I buy it and test the difference myself. That's why I got myself the z fc. You learn by doing it yourself.

Finally! My new retro design Nikon z fc camera with 28mm lens unboxing


Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body (Black) 1671 Bundle with Deco Gear with Deco Gear Microphone + LED Light + Backpack + Photo Video Software & Photography Accessories Kit

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Bought my second-ever digital mirrorless camera and I decided to get the Nikon Z fc. Simply because of its cool retro design with all the bells and whistles. I did think I should buy the z50 instead, but I already have a modern-looking camera, the Nikon Coolpix P950.

I'm not selling my P950, yet, because there's still so much I haven't learned from it. I also love the zooming capabilities and don't need to buy expensive, bigger lenses. Though, I might, for the Z fc. In any case, for a photography newbie like me, the 28mm should be enough for now.

My next target camera is the z7ii or who knows the z9. But, they're expensive and I'll need to get better photography skills. I'll say, they're pro-level cameras. Those who need it for work. If you're not making money taking photography I don't see why you'll want an expensive camera setup.

Okay, photography hobbyists might beg to defer. If you have the money then go for it. I would too. Lol. Anyway, for now, my new favorite camera is the z fc. I really love the design. It's fun to play around with the dials control. It's actually much faster than looking around at the LCD touch screen.



Nikon Z 6II FX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body Black

The z fc is basically a z50 with a retro-looking design. You basically want a z fc because of the looks and the manual dials control. They have the same sensor. If you're not into retro design, then get the z50. Never had a hands-on of the z50 so I can't comment much about it. Oh, it's also cheaper.

Those who have the z50 recommend it over the z fc. To me, I wanted to learn how to use manual control. I find the z fc to be a fun camera to play with. I think if you're a newbie to photography like me, this would be the perfect camera. Unless you prefer the modern look and usage.



Nikon Z 7II FX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body Black

I'm not saying you can't set the other cameras to manual control. It's just that the z fc with all the dials and buttons control makes you want just fiddle with them. I'm happy just looking at it. I even put a picture of it on both my Samsung s22+ and iPhone 13 home screen.

Currently, I've only taken a few test pictures of my Samsung s22+ with the 28mm lens. From what I've seen it's really sharp. I can zoom in to the words on my phone. Testing the ISO, aperture, exposure, etc. I'm really excited to go out cycling again soon and take pictures with my new z fc and 28mm lens.



Nikon Z 9 FX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body

I've only just pick-up cycling and photography. Yes, you can travel light and just bring your mobile phone to take quick pictures and post them on your social media. But, photography with a camera is very much a different process and experience.

My nephew keeps comparing the pictures of the iPhone and my camera without realizing that it's a totally different processor and even the lens capabilities are different. My P950, can zoom to ships or boats far out at sea and take good sharp pictures. 

Check out some of the photos I've taken on my channel here.

You can also do a search on this blog as I've posted videos and links here.

nikon coolpix p950 evening sky from my window #Shorts #Video #photo


Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera || 24-2000mmLens || 16 MP || Built-in Wi-Fi || Vibration Reduction + Camera Kit Special Including 64GB Memory, Spider Tripod, Photo/Video Editing Package & More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I haven't gone out for a while with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I've been itching to. But, the pandemic is still on and there's been news of new covid clusters. In malls and bus interchanges. Many bus drivers and staff got the covid-19.

In fact, one of the places that I recently went to was classified as a new cluster. My friend and I were damn lucky to escape from not being infected. We even went to the mall to have our dinner. If you're not gonna get it, you're not gonna get it.

The good thing is that both I and my friend are already fully vaccinated. All of my family and near relatives have been vaccinated too. That doesn't mean, we stop wearing masks or being careful. My relative's son-in-law and his mother recently died of covid.

I think both of them didn't get the chance to get vaccinated. So, if you have the chance to be vaccinated, go for it. Don't listen to that anti-vax. It's not worth risking yourself and your family over political or opinion differences. Use your common sense.



Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P950: Getting the Most from Nikon's Superzoom Digital Camera

Anyway, every evening sometime when I look at the sky from my window, the view is pretty amazing. I've taken some pictures and videos with either my Samsung Note 10+ camera or now with my P950. Since I've bought some filter lens, I thought I'll try them out. 

I decided to use the variable Neutral Density Adjustable ND Filter lens that I've bought. That's actually how I got the red version of the sky. You can watch it on my #Shorts video here. I'll also post some of the pics below. I only took a few.

Again, I'm an amateur photographer and only recently bought my first point-and-shoot camera the Nikon Coolpix P950. Although I mainly bought it because of the cool superzoom capability, I've always been interested in taking good photos.

That's why I bought all sorts of filter lens and still dabbling with the P950 menu settings. There are still lots of things, I'm not sure of. I've been reading lots of info on using a camera but, I can't quite get a grasp of some things. I'm not really in a hurry though. It's becoming my new hobby.

By the way, have you guys seen the latest Nikon Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera? God damn, I love the design alone. I want to get it when I got the money. It'll be great if you're on holiday or just out and about. It's definitely lighter than my P950 although, you can't zoom far with it. 

Check out the evening sky photos that I've taken with my P950 using the variable ND filter below:






Kinda cool to play around with the ND variable filter. You can make the scene brighter or darker. For the P950, I tried it on auto and the night scene. I think it looks nice. Of course, that's my opinion. Also, you don't have to go out to take great sky photos.

We can take great photos from our own near surroundings. Only that, we didn't notice it. I only really start looking at things now that I have a camera. Before, like everyone else, I didn't see the beauty in everyday things. In today's fast phase world, it's time to slow down and enjoy the very simple things in life.
