Emo Technical: Pentax K-X, Petax DAL 35mm, ISO400, f2.4, 1/10s, colour PP Trying to learn the eye-focus technique for portraiture, not sure if succeeded. This is a posed picture with a very complying subject. Subject appears washed out. Fairly happy with bokeh because grass background is very near to subject; but might reconsider f2.4 because…
Path Technical: Pentax K-X, Pentax DAL 35mm, ISO100, f10, 1/30, B&W PP Isn’t there something about B&W shots that make them instantly interesting? PS: All photos of the week will be posted on Sundays.
I own a dSLR, and obviously, I want to outfit it with a second lens. Thus far I’ve been relying (too much) on my 16-55mm kit lens and a cheap (read: <$100) 50mm f1.7 MANUAL lens (from the film camera era). Needless to say, manual focusing is a bitch and I really can’t use it…
I attended a cookout organized by my sister and her friends on Sunday. I brought my cheesy herb biscuits along, and watched the rest (read: children) cook. *Warning: image-heavy post*
I read an article recently on creating a lens hood for funky bokeh effect. For unintiated, bokeh in photography refers to certain effects achieved with a shallow depth of field (aka blurred background). Light bokeh is when light source in the background become distinct round patches. The article essentially introduced us to making lens hoods…
Over the Hari Raya break we went to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. The last time I went there I was back in secondary school, so it must be about 9-10 years ago. We took the South View Path, the supposedly more scenic and less steep path.
Because I am lazy to blog about my trip to Sunway Lagoon, I shall show you this cute picture of a tiger I took while I was there:
I suppose one of the highlights of the trip is the Renggis Island snorkelling trip. The package includes all the snorkelling gear and the short boat trip over to the island and it costs RM40 a person, and is supposedly for 1 hour. Initially we wanted to take up the longer package (3 hours) that…
On Sunday, my little niece took part in the Cold Storage Kid’s Run held at the F1 pitstop. I tagged along to play shutterbug. This shot was taken with the High Contrast digital filter on my camera; I suppose it’s good for post-processing but not on-the-spot shots because it requires rendering time. But overall I…
We got to Tioman by coach and ferry. First we took the coach from Singapore to Mersing, which takes about 3 hours. From Mersing, we took a 2-hour ferry to Pulau Tioman. Pulau Tioman is big by my terms. It measures about 20km by 11km, maybe 1/3 the size of Singapore. Most of the island…
