Shortlisted: The Library Photo Competition 2016

A wee of fun, I submitted three photos and joined the university level photography competition for the first round. Apparently I got shortlisted for the second round, with another 19 students. After submitting another three pictures, one of last three was selected to be voted. Unfortunately it’s a Wechat (the Chinese social media, or mainly used in China) vote. Anyway, I think it’s fun enough to see my photograph there 🙂 Jolly exciting.

If you want to vote in Wechat, scan this QR code. Please cast your vote before 11 May 2016 midnight, Ningbo time.

The rest of the pictures are what I submitted, am sharing them with you. As you might observe from the pictures, I am not the best casual photographer with the best technique. I am more of capturing the moment with whatever device I have in my hand. The theme was related to campus life. Taken using different cameras, some were taken from the quadcopter with Hero4Black dangled on the quadcopter, EM1, EOS30d or a GM1.

14 quick idea recipes

Hiya! Slightly off topic here but I just want to share the recipes I compiled. I shared it in my social media to encourage others to share their ultimate recipes too, and do not intend to bombard my website with pictures of home cooked food. I have to do it here due to the internet great firewall where I currently live (you know what I mean!!).

Quick meals for busy days 🙂 I know we can always browse, but sharing what’s from your own kitchen is slightly different isn’t? The 14 quick recipes, click the hyperlinks. The file size is 8.74MB, might take sometime so stay back and chill :) 20160503b_14 quick recipes_Mia Tedjosaputro

Alternatively, the reduced pdf version (not recommended to read the texts) is here, 1.38MB: 20160503b_14 quick recipes_Mia Tedjosaputro_lowres

Hopefully you will find it interesting and encourage you to do yours too. Let me know!

Call for contribution: Second Ningbo Local Drawing Circle!

Hiya all, Poster Xiang is the last sketcher of the first round (and first year) of the Drawing Circle and we are approaching the end of round. We had 12 amazing sketchers and we are starting the second year straightaway, hence I am looking for 12 sketchers! Same drill, the same sketchbook will be in your possession for a month (which needs to be arranged which month) and you can draw as much as you want, anything really. At the end of month, choose one of your favourite, give a short blurb about what it represents; and it will be featured in Ningbo Guide for the second year.

Does the bell ring loud enough? 🙂 Part of Brew Drawing Circle, click here. And click here for the Ningbo Local Drawing Circle updates. Any questions please do not hesitate to be in contact via: UNNC university email system, Wechat if you have got me or drop a line to [email protected] . Looking forward to hear from you. Bye for now.

Mia.

Experimental photography

Matt and I did a weekend project on capturing light, shadow and motions. Facilitated by BeePhoto who let us use the studio while they were away for a photo mission in Xi’an. We meant to do this for quite a long time, just had the opportunity this weekend. Shot using Olympus OMD EM1 and GoPro Hero4Black. I have to admit, it was not an easy exercise. And that was when the fun began. Failed party poppers, split seconds to catch popping balloons and wine glasses’ disaster. Well, lessons learnt!

Slow motion video of the popping balloon is now up in YouTube (embedded).

 

 

I rarely post pictures here in miatedjosaputro.com; most pictures are in my Flickr (click here) and Instagram (click here).

We are assembling the F450 quadcopter specially assigned for experimental works  too, some weekend projects. Will keep you posted.

As part of the open day events, the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) where we currently based at, organised a Color Run. Mimicking the official event, staff and students were involved. Matt and I, we both were invited by the people from CRRC and did the run together with some of the CRRC employees who are studying in UNNC, undertaking some business classes.

Aerial photography of UNNC

A couple of weekends ago we did some aerial photography shots using one of our quadcopters. Yes, we currently possess four of those amazing quads in different sizes. To be precise, three flying ones and one is currently out of action 🙂 We used this quad, FH410, which we also brought to Indonesia and flew him in Bali. I share some views we do not see everyday through our eyes. More of my casual photography, visit my Flickr. Click here.

James: Ningbo Local Drawing Circle February 2016

Hope you guys had a lovely spring festival. Matt and I escaped from the cold of Ningbo. And found ourselves sipping Bintang beers in Bali’s quiet beaches (Indonesia).

Anyway, here are James Johnson-Perkins’ doodles. He shared some of his views while travelling and the scribbles are all well curated I have to say!

If you are curious about the last nine months’ scribbles, here is one for you. I compile a short video (in YouTube, click above embedded video- also make sure your VPN is on. link is here) about the content of the sketchbook (with the help of Matt on flipping pages). Name of the sketchers can be found on the left side of the page. We still have three absolutely amazing sketchers, so stay tuned for the second book.
