The Art of Camera Tossing
What is Camera Tossing? A Camera Toss photo is made by tossing your camera into the air. "Tossing? Are you crazy?" - yes!!! ;-) It doesn't have to be ur expensive DSLR ofcoz, just a normal consumer camera will do, even a cameraphone works fine. The camera is not necessarily tossed very high into the air. Normally you toss the camera about 10 to 20 cm high, sometimes even less. As a subject are mainly used any kind of lights sources like neon signs, TV screens, computer monitors and and..sigh the possibilities are endless.
ehehehe so are you curious now? Have fun and discover the World Of Camera Tossing.
Tip:
Be careful
Yes it sounds obvious, but I don't think this point can be over stated. Your photographic equipment is important to you and is probably quite expensive, so think before you toss! For example dramatic lighting conditions give good results, but will also make it hard to catch the camera if you loose sight of it.
Have fun
In my eyes the process of taking the shots should be as enjoyable as viewing the results, there is a certain feeling I get when I launch hundreds of pounds worth of camera equipment in to the air and although it probably shouldn't be it is a good feeling. I think this is one of the main factors that keeps me coming back for more.
Experiment
As aforementioned the camera tossing phenomenon is very new so there is no such thing as an expert, no official guidelines as such, nobody has done it all and camera tossing seems to mean different things to different people, so do what feels right for you and explore the photographic opportunities which present themselves.
Set your camera to 'slow shutter speed' (some digital still camera has this feature) then toss it away!!!
And again, if you ever crazy enuf to try Camera Tossing don’t forget one very important thing: Catch your camera after you toss it! DUH!!!
And 1 more thing, I accepts no responsibility for any injuries to YOU or damage to YOUR photographic equipment sustained during the tossing process! Try at your own effing risk :P
Have fun!!!

Contre-jour
Pictures taken from flickr.com
Silhouette? (i use to call it 'selulit' :P ) Maybe for beginner this is a new word. So, I just wanna describe it a little bit. For me, this kind of technique is kinda awesome! Why don’t try it for yourself! It's really kinda easy. I have read many of article in magazine and in internet. There's so many effing tips and tricks you can learn.
So, what is 'Selulit'?
Contre-jour, French for 'against daylight', refers to photographs taken when the camera is pointing directly toward the source of light. An alternative term is backlighting or silhouettes.
Contre-jour produces backlighting of the subject. This effect usually hides details, causes a stronger contrast between light and dark, creates silhouettes and emphasizes lines and shapes. The sun, or other light source, is often seen as either a bright spot or as a strong glare behind the subject.Fill light may be used to illuminate the side of the subject facing toward the camera.
My Silhouette Tips
When you are getting ready to take your silhouette pictures, there are a couple things u shud keep in mind. These tips work for both digital and film photography. Make sure you never point the lens directly at the sun. If there is too much light, the light will fall on your object. If there is not enough light, your background will become gloomy and your subject will blend too much with the background. The main key to silhouette lighting is having your background lighter than your object, which mean, your object shud be in between you and the source of light (sun, lamp etc etc) and it can be done in more ways then one. Many photographers focus on a certain time of day, where their subject is, what kind of weather there is and where the sun positioned in the frame. If you want to take a picture when sunset, be sure to bring a tripod with u. It’s important. Even a photographer sifu can get their hands a lil bit shaky when it comes to low-light environment.
p/s: dun worry, it's not u. Even me myself having trouble trying to understand what the hell i'm talking about sometime.
Try Not To Cry Little One
I am so disturbed by what i've seen in newspapers. The pictures was so horrible for me to stomach, let alone trying to read the stories. How can anyone stomach it and move on to live their daily life, especially the Zionist Regime. Ya Allah, tamatkanlah penderitaan Palestine.

Revolution of Branding
Not sure if the sources are correct because got this from email. How many times their change the branding but still it looks stronger then before. I like what they did with Nokia. Just my 2 cents, Palm shudn't really change their logo to orange. The blue one's better.
Neil Duerden
Neil Durden (UK, Manchester) the most trendy designer I find out last year. There are more then 100 amazing graphic works in his portfolio! His design is a balanced mixing of photo objects and vector shapes. Plus he is playing with different colors, simple 3D effects and floristic ornaments. And don’t forget to visit “motion” directory in his portfolio, you won’t be disappointed by his dynamic, bright and awesome ad clips.
