In the above photos, surprisingly, i like candle, portrait and self portrait the most… i thought cuisine mode will do not bad as well, going to try out in other restaurant again next time.

juicer is cheap at only RM150, this model can juice whole apple with its 3 inches opening at the top, outside selling for RM209 promotional price(original price over RM300), but buying it in this warehouse sales is a steal, with 6 months warranty with their service centre located in Petaling Jaya.

after kneading all the ingredients, recipe is from a recipe book at home.

after proofing it in warm area for 40 minutes, doubled in size.

second proofing for about 45 minutes.

after second proofing, double in size again

finished baking 30-35 mins

looks nice.

the strong bread protein structure is not there

super macro shot of the crumbly structure.

Post mortem:

– cause of this failed bread could be due to my incorrect mixing sequence, butter should be put in earlier, but i mixed it in when the bread is fully kneaded and springy(kneaded for about 5 minutes), and the butter unable to penetrate into it, thus i torn the bread into small pieces rubbing in the butter, that’s probably where the bread protein structure is disrupted and broken.

Was testing out the preset scenery options of Olympus, below are some of the description of the options, also pics of camera pouch in macro position… testing out the clarity of macro and its background.

– Landscape: vivid reproductions of blues and greens

– Night: shooting illuminated scenes in evening or night, Uses lower shutter speed, stable the camera for best result

– Night portrait: shooting both subjust and illuminated background in evening, shutter speed is slowed

– Sport: capture fast moving without blurring

– Indoor: shoot both main subject and indoors

– Candle: shooting under candlelight, warm colors are reproduced

– Sunset: vivid reproduction of reds and yellows

– Fireworks: slower shutter speed

– Cuisine: for still life photography, vividly reproducte colors of fruits, flowers etc

– Document: increase contrast between letter and background

– Beach & snows: for shooting white sand sea scape and other whitish background.

I find “Cuisine” and “Document” take macro really well, although i find taking food pic with cuisine allows for better contrast and colors.

Whereas “Sunset” & “Landscape” will show background clearly. “Night scene” and “fireworks” works as well.
