BLACK N WHITE

2012-02-15T13:14:00.000+08:00

Two more old shots reprocessed in Black n White.

When you think you are about to snap, hold on to that last strand of hope.

Cold Hearted me.

HIDING IN THE SHADE

2012-02-09T23:24:00.001+08:00

Another pano shot that I attempted. Encountered some problem while stitching, so got to manually stitch it. Argh! Almost tear my hair out.

Will definitely be back there again, this place is nice.

CHINESE GARDEN IN THE RAIN

2012-02-06T22:00:00.000+08:00

We went to Chinese Garden again today, and guess what! It rained and rained.. :-(

No choice but to shoot in the rain. This is the best I can get out of it. Click on it to view the higher res file.

On our way out of the garden, still in the rain.. The sky cleared a little but still not enough of light coming through.

MORE CATS

2012-02-04T11:40:00.002+08:00

Recently, I have been encountering stray cats and photographing them. Here are some new additions to my Cat Collection.

Two very young, friendly, vocal and playful cats. They are so clean!

A pretty cat, but why do you look so moody?

I used to think this breed of cats are dirty, only later to realise later that I got this misconception because of the fur colors. They are actually clean like others. This one looked frightened at first, but as I go near, she is very friendly!

JACOB

2012-02-04T00:11:00.003+08:00

Meet Jacob. The resident cat at our block.

CHINESE GARDEN

2012-01-28T00:19:00.002+08:00

Today we made a trip down to Chinese Garden. My intention was to do sunset HDR at the twin pagodas. However, the weather was not very cooperative, it was a very gloomy evening and the rain hit us shortly after we left the place.

This is the best I can come up. I know my pagodas are tiny, not enough zoom lah..

A composite of 21 shots, this HDR pano shot took me 1hr to edit. (click on the pix to view the larger photo)

I also came across this weird looking tree..

I will be back to the garden again for my pagoda shot.

LITTLE INDIA 2012

2012-01-27T00:30:00.000+08:00

It has been more than 6yrs since I last visited Little India. Today we finally made a trip down in the afternoon. Had our lunch at USMAN restaurant.

Our yummy lunch, bryani rice, potatoes, chicken tikka and garlic naan, washed down with teh tarik and milo. The meal is good.

It is a gloomy afternoon but in the evening, the sun came out and gave the place a nice golden glow. I decided to do HDR for Little India this time round. All photos are 3 shots HDRed in Photomatrix.

Okay, I gotta admit, I am terrible with street shoot. This was a sneaky shot that I shot blindly.

At the start of our journey, shot at the bus stop outside Tekka Centre.

The colorful row of houses against the blue sky. All thanks to the sun that came on in the evening. This is my favorite shot of the day.

The familiar corner stall at Campbell Lane.

My favorite stall at Campbell Lane. Colorful vegetables!

A pottery shop, I think.

Hmm..I forgot the name of the road..still somewhere in Little India, somewhere near Desker Road.

The first attempt at a HDR Pano shot. Total 6 shots taken - 3 for the upper half of the building, 3 for lower half.

The most colorful building in Little India. This is a 6 shot pano.. We are standing too close to this and cannot move further back anymore.

RAINBOW

2012-01-23T01:30:00.004+08:00

MARINA BAY SANDS

2011-10-16T19:36:00.001+08:00

My very first visit to MBS.

The famous Helix Bridge, which I finally got to shoot it. Very tricky, and I have yet to find a good compo of it.

Did you make a wish? I threw a coin, but it didn't get to go down the hole.

This is where my coin should have landed. LOL.. Does this look familiar K. Ho? I copied your angle. hahahaha, except the position of the boat.

This TWG outlet is popular and packed.

Evening time and about to go home. A shot of the Customs House. Yes, the sky is that grey that day and very hazy.

Sunset at CBD on a super grey and hazy day. Sky totally gone, this is the best I can do.

ON MY WAY HOME AT THE LRT

2010-12-13T22:23:00.001+08:00

It's madness at the LRT platform just now on my way home. There was a slight train delay and the platform was packed with commuters.

We decided to go shopping instead, not going to stand and squeeze around with the rest. We came back half and hour later, to find the crowd more manageable.

While waiting for the train to come, I took this shot. Too bad not enough zoom!

LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHER AT WORK

2010-10-30T17:59:00.002+08:00

Here's my 3 yrs old nephew with the SONY. His first attempt at photography and he loves it. He knows how to press the shutter, review photo, zoom in and out. Also taught him on the macro mode but that requires more practise.

He is pretty careful too, throughout the trip, he did not drop the camera, he also know how to shut off the power when he is not taking pics.

Here are some of his work. I just resized them that's all. Of course, he shoots in Program mode. LOL

The first shot.

WALK AROUND ITE

2010-10-30T17:49:00.000+08:00

2010-10-15T00:12:00.001+08:00

There are quite a lot of Domokun merchandise from pen to cushion covers etc.

I bought a pen $5.90, here it is. I love it. The kitty diary 2011 is for my mum. She likes it too.

So all Domo fans, pls head down to Isetan soon.

Tried out something new today, thanks to my good friends Evon and Jason for their tips on Tilt shift effect.

Shot is taken with my cellphone, the effect is created from this site : www.tiltshiftmaker.com. Try it, it's fun and it's free. I think I didn't use a suitable shot, coz it does not have that miniature effect.

Now I got to find other suitable shots and try the edit in PS.

2010-04-13T23:29:00.002+08:00

Just another quick snap of stairs at the void deck on my way back. Why the strange colors - NO I did not edit it to change color, probably the camera white balance went cranky and hence the blue and magenta. I just cropped and added grains.
