   Been ages since I last post something here.. Been extremely busy with work lately. Think I would need to explain it on my work blog :) But that doesn’t mean that I didn’t took time off to go around taking photographs :) I weight in myself the other day, and confirm I have dropped from 95kg down to 92kg. Lol, talk about losing weight while taking photographs. I guess it could be from all that walking and also the sun which pretty much made me sweat a lot. So it’s all good :) Anyway, this was taken from another flower album :P (more…)

Forever Love

    This album was taken yesterday morning, as I pretty much had a better time in shooting pictures. Went out about 7.45am and started to look for things to shoot. Anyway, from the overall pictures that I’ve been taking for the past few days. I’m more focused on objects, flowers or insects. But never people. Can someone please give me the guts to shoot people. Lol, I’m running out of ideas. Lol.
    Anyway, while I was heading back to the shot. I’ve caught these two love birds apparently having their usual morning walk. These couple actually operates their shop a few blocks away from ours. I did take a front picture of them, but then I apparently just had to do aim somewhere else first to prevent any suspicion. This is my favorite shot for the day. Do visit my 2008-06-06 : Thank God It’s Friday album for more interesting shots. (more…)

Thursday Catch!

    Ok. Apparently today I was slightly fortunate because I had a spare battery my battery grip ran out. Lol. Next time I’ll prolly be more careful before going out again. Hehe. Ok, so I got up about 7am, and took 15 mins to get ready for my first attempt on my morning walk. So I went out, and apparently the sun was already up and pretty much very hot already. So I started to move around and see what interesting pictures I can capture today. So instead of making a right turn heading to town, I went to the opposite side which eventually brought me to the wet market. During my journey there, I did stop a while and took a few more pictures here and there. But never really thought of heading to the market.

    Upon arriving the market, the fish was actually my first subject before taking pictures of this woman here slicing and dicing the fish. Hehe. Apparently she was camera shy, and but of course. Have to act as if she’s really working hard before the owner actually came up to me and asked me what was I doing. So I just told him that I’m just taking pictures for fun, and who knows if there’s any competition I’ll just submit these pictures. Then he went on saying that, if you want to win competition one should not always take pictures of beautiful scenery but rather the dirty part of town. He even jokingly said that the Chief Minister as well as the Prime Minister will pay me heaps of money for these sort of pictures, so that I won’t even consider posting them. And told me it’s another method of “covering up”. Anyway, after conversing with him a few more mins I thanked him before I left the place as I need to get back to the shop. Before it’s too late.. But all in all, I guess sometimes photography does have it’s way in starting small talks. It’s all good. Probably I might take his advice after all, because he told me behind the market that’s where the real beauty is.. lol. Have a nice day.

On The Streets

    Here is the other album as promised. Currently there’s pretty much nothing around this side of town. Was actually on the way to collect business cards that was just recently made. So ended up bring my camera out to have a little bit of fun. Didn’t really go and shoot people as pretty much might get clobbered for that. Lol. But it’s all good.

    This is probably my favorite shot in this album. Had suddenly got the inspiration to shoot this kind of angle. Anyway, will try and go around more if I got the chance. But so far I’ll probably linger around waterfront here due to the fact that I’m planning to have my evening walk around this area :P I’m getting overweight. So by doing so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

    I pretty much had fun editing these pictures.. Though I still pretty much suck at it.. But apparently it made the picture slightly nicer, compared to the original. But still trying to figure out how to do Black and White as well as Sepia pictures to be more outstanding. Anyway, more from this album can be found here :- 2008-05-23 Plain Shooting

The Love For Photography

    Photography have been a really good friend of mine. Just too bad that I don’t really have the time to really go out and shoot things. Which pretty much explain why the lack of update on this site. Anyway, pretty much upset over a few things lately.. Fortunately for me Deluxe was so understanding and let me wander off to go and shoot some stuff to get my mind off the issue.

    Anyway, even though editing photos do take up a lot of time.. But it does do wonders for me as well.. Lol.. I guess it’s all good.. Anyway you can have more pictures here on my Flickr Account. Waterfront @ 9AM. Currently uploading another album which I just completed editing. So it’s all good. Ok.. Have a nice day.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Imaging

Ok. Didn’t really had much time taking pictures lately. But yesterday I went and did something out from the blue. I got this idea from Nick on HDR whereby you can read up more on HDR here. Anyway, he uses Photomatix so I tried downloading the trial and see how it worked. Apparently was pretty amazed by how it turned out to be. Basically you combine 3 same pictures, but taken at a different exposure. Anyway, make sure your tripod is stable because which is very important. Mine wasn’t that stable so a lot came out weird. Lol. Anyway, enough said. Here’s some of the HDR pictures that I tried taking. For more samples you can head over to my flickr account on HDR.

Ok. Last few pictures before calling it a night. My expedition ended when it was about to rain, so I quickly went over to India Street and take a few shots then walked back to the shop along waterfront. Anyway, you can see more pictures that were taken here at my Flickr Account. Still considering of upgrading it. Well, will see how it goes once I finished up using my bandwith.. HEhehe.. So it’s all good. Anyway, enough nonsense. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.
