Sentosa Flowers 2009

2009-01-25T09:36:00.005+08:00

Visited Sentosa Flower Festival on the first day. We went rather early to avoid the crowds.. by around 1oam, most of the people came in. Find this year not as good as before. Variety seems to be lesser.. Discarded several of my pics due to handshake.. can't really focus well. Here are the few that 'survived'.

macro attempt

2009-01-06T19:50:00.002+08:00

Haven't been taking macro shots for some time... partly cos i can't see minute details too clearly. Also, I find that I wobble quite a lot..hmm..can't seem to steady myself as well as before.

Pre-wedding: Zhiming & ko

2008-09-26T22:12:00.007+08:00

Pre-wedding..something i've wanted to try... glad to have found a chance now.

Took a day off work to take pre-wedding shots for my sister and her hubby-to-be. It was pouring in the morning and we took some of these in drizzling rain =p I wasn't too happy with my shots, didn't really got what i had in mind to begin with.. but had to make do with the weather though. Hope they likes the pics =p

It's a different experience for me, kinda stress too. Also, special thanks to munch for helping me out that day :D

Second time i've taken the river cruise (bumboat). In fact, there'll be no more diesel bumboat along the river now. There are using bigger battery operated boats now. oh well, its another rainy day today and the river water is an ugly brown.

USA - Coastal drive

2008-01-05T17:21:00.000+08:00

whoa... here we goes. we rented a jeep to drive fr SF to LA, with one night stopover along the way. Frankly we spent too much playing at the beach near carmel thus stopover at san simeon for the night. The next day we set off 5am so that we can reach venice beach before sunset.

USA - San Francisco (Part V)

2008-01-05T17:06:00.000+08:00

Finally, after hours of walking and climbing, we reached golden gate bridge!

USA - San Francisco (Part IV)

2008-01-05T16:47:00.000+08:00

Enroute to golden gate bridge, we went to visit the legion of honor.. This is built to commemorate the soldiers who died during World War I. This structure also houses the palacce of fine arts.

USA - San Francisco (Part III)

2008-01-05T16:39:00.001+08:00

This day, we took a tram to hyde st pier and walked towards the golden gate bridge.. we walked slowly under the hot sun... for 4hours before we finally reached the bridge.. but along the way, we passed by golden gate national marina green area..

USA - San Francisco (Part II)

2008-01-05T16:26:00.000+08:00

I like the architecture of the city... churches, residential...

USA - San Francisco (Part I)

2008-01-05T16:12:00.000+08:00

San Francisco's terrain is full of slopes.. walking for 2 days there! haha. no joke! A pity I didn't capture the tram cars against those slopes, just like in postcards. haha.

we took BART from airport to our grand hotel at bush st.. walked up the slope with my 17kg backpack! nearly died! Then we walked around chinatown, the italian district, etc.

interesting... fr CBD offices to chinatown, to north beach.. each district is SO unique.. we climbed up to coit tower for view of the city as well :)

USA - Grand Canyon

2007-11-26T14:29:00.000+08:00

Went to USA from 19oct to 10nov. Grand Canyon national park is one of my stops. Its my first trip to USA and its really an eye-opener :) Grand Canyon national park is indeed beautiful and inspiring...

wed when i reached south rim, it was very sunny. However, the sky looks foggy.. well, we did some hikes along the rim and took the shuttles sometimes along the hermits rest route. Tried to catch sunset at hopi point..maybe the sky is just too foggy.. can't really see the sun. Nonetheless, it was nice to just watch the canyon gradually changing its colours.. oh, it was damn cold after the sun set too!

trying to catch sunrise at mather point.. freezing cold morning.. almost can't press shutter! haha

My brother's wedding

2007-10-09T16:07:00.000+08:00

8 october 2007 is a big day for my family. After months of preparation, from re-painting our house (yes, we did it ourselves), shifting furnitures to various wedding preparations (we choose photos together, yes whole family at the bridal shop).

I tried to take some shots though I'm not the official photographer. It was quite difficult as i find it hard to expose evenly and my flash control is not good. Also, I need to do other things as well. And due to tradition, I need to 'hide' cos I'm the eldest sibling. Anyway, i give up after a few shots when more relatives arrive at my house.

some thoughts: a good wedding photographer has to be very spontaneous and alert. Things are happening progressively. No retakes, no break. Of course, your basic photography skills must be there. Otherwsie its very hard to capture all those precious moments.

Moments at Mandarin-Oriental

2007-09-22T18:55:00.000+08:00

Results are out! My photos didn't make it for the photocompetition "Moments at Mandarin-Oriental". Oh well, its a nice experience still :P after all, the 15 photographers were selected after a round of short-listing from the portfolio submitted and I'm glad I got to be selected to take part after all! haha

The Mandarin-Oriental hotel is very nice, especially after their renovation. I like the lounge area, very relaxing. The staff allowed us to go into their executive lounge too!I was still coughing a lot that saturday, thus i try to minimize my equipment. Didn't bring tripod. Was sort of regretting, especially everyone else using tripod. Nonetheless, I manage to get some pics i like.

I guess my weakness is still human potraits. For the competition, I didn't take much of people as well. It's more of taking the environment and the feel of the hotel.

Was quite tired after walking around, so i decide to play a bit :p prop up cushions to take this self-portrait =P

even went to swimming pool to do macro! hahaha

AG255 mega - amazing race style :)

2007-08-31T10:18:00.001+08:00

This is a different mega outing. There's no guide, except instructions on where to go and how to get there by ourselves :p covered northern and central part of sgp.

The sky is so beautiful that day, so much that i didn't take much macro :p below is the one i like most from this outing.

Had fun and fulfilling day :) thanks to B who organise this :)

It's been some time since i managed to join the AG outings. Had fun today :) especially when its the first time i use my macro lens outdoors! haha.

Wanted to try making up a photo story.. pardon my newbie attempt :p

Lone ranger on a quest...

stumble unto caged blocks

Talking blocks...wondering who is this red creature??

Amidst the blocks...

On higher grounds, view of the opposite land emerges..

I must go there, says the ranger. Will this 'boat' take me there?

No, says the snake. You must follow me.

No, says the spider. You must follow me.

No, says the caterpillar. They are going to eat you! Run!

Where can i hide? In here?

Ranger in hiding.. Am I safe now?

Mirror mirror, can you tell me where to go?

Take this pill...

and take this boat...

follow the signs...

through the valley...

and you will reach...

The End.

Thank you for viewing :)

AG194 outing

2006-10-15T21:34:00.000+08:00

Today went for AG outing again... some very unSingapore scenery =P

those guys very into macro! sigh.. i don't have the lens to shoot macro, thus only churn up these pics. Not very happy with myself... but then again, wasn't feeling very well this morning already. after browsing thr the photos, then i realised there are some things i shouldn't do and some setting i missed out trying today *arghh

anyway, take a look lah.

NEL when no one is in the cabin :p
here my walk begins

Searching...
What have i got? hmm...

Is this for real? Not the usual Singapore ya?

End of my walk...

Working...

2006-10-15T20:47:00.000+08:00

Sat, 14oct. Well, only got 2 patients and i had my camera with me, thus i started shooting a bit...

Don't think my job is very 'eng' hor! cos its a Sat mah *wink* :P

Before DSLR

2006-10-07T12:52:00.000+08:00

Before DSLR, i was using a compact sony cybershot. For travel, i borrowed cameras from my friends. Used a Sony DSC-F828 for two major trips: perth and tibet. Liked it very much then :P even contemplate on buying it! haha. In the end, i decided to invest in a Canon DSLR, because i'll have the flexibility of changing various lens for various purposes in future :p

Here are some shots dug out from my archives... from 2003... when i gone digital.

Nepal 2005 (contd)

2006-10-06T19:37:00.000+08:00

Dug out more pics :D

Nepal 2005

2006-10-06T08:43:00.000+08:00

I bought my DSLR in sep 2005. Oct 2005, i brought it to nepal with me. How i come to a DSLR is another story. That will have to start with my tibet trip in june 05 then. Anyway, I am not familiar with my camera when i went to nepal. Thus, was quite fustrated at times when I couldn't seem to take what i see with my naked eyes. Actually, even now, sometimes I still can't get the colours i want.. sigh.. more practise lah.

Nonetheless, there are still some pictures which I am happy with :P *wink*

I wrote a blog when I came back from nepal. If you are interested, can read it here. Enjoy.

Quite fun, except got my eyes tired and wanting to close on me now! hahaha Anyway, recently acquired a secondhand Speedlite 420EX with omnibounce :D also, bought close-up lens so I can take a bit of macro shots now. Today decided to do a photoshoot for my beading products! keke

Siem Reap III

Ta Prohm has a romantic appeal..overgrown and gently declining, yet with hidden corners and mysterious spots..

Ta Prohm

One of the major temples of Jayavarman VII, a temple-monastery, Ta Prohm features a set of concentric galleries with corner towers. The complexity of its layout is increased by its partly collapsed state, with trees interlaced among the ruins. A significant amount of work was done to prevent further collapse and enough clearing of vegetation to allow entry. The trees intertwined among the ruins are mainly silk-cotton tree and strangler fig.

Siem Reap II

Bayon temple is one temple that i liked very much. When i got down from the bus, i was awed by the majestic view.. maybe more so of the many faces... as you walked around the temple, climbing up and down, faces are everywhere... the feeling is really unique.

Bayon

The state temple of Jayavarman VII, it is extremely complex both in terms of its structure and its meaning, having passed through different religious phrases from Pantheon of the Gods, Hindu and Buddhism. It uses a mass of face-towers to create a stone mountain of ascending peaks. Most are carved with four faces on each cardinal point but sometimes there are only three.

Siem Reap I

Will be posting some of my old photos. This is a trip to Siem Reap in april 06. Visited 3 temples: Angkor Wat, Bayon and Ta Phrom.

The Khmer civilization centred on Angkor was one of the most remarkable to flourish in Southeast Asia. A suceesion of Hindu and Buddhist kings created magnificent temples in stone between the 8th and 13th centuries.

Angkor Wat

The world's largest religious monument. A completely realised microcosm of the Hindu Universe, culminating in the five peaks of Mount Meru. Angkor Wat was the grandest of all the Khmer temples and also a city on its own. The outer limits of Angkor Wat was set by its broad moat. It represent the mythical oceans surrounding the earth, and the towers represent the mountain's peaks.
