Sitting under the deep blue sky, watching the clouds roll by… singing to myself, and dreaming of yesterday…

Light you don’t normally see…

Finally gotten around to do some IR pictures. Shot this handheld while on the way to school. It takes quite a bit of estimation to compose this picture, as you can’t see through the R72 filter.

I admit this picture has nothing special, but i missed the IR tonality…

Nice blue skies today!

So happening, yet so boring…

 

MAF again. The bigger the crowd, the lonelier you feel. Is there any point left in going back?

有阳光，有流水，还有微风吹 ……

 Wanted a brighter and more cheerful picture to better depict my mood for that day…

When placed strategically, texts can make an otherwise mediocre picture look polished, giving it an additional point of interest, and helping to balance the elements in the scene. I personally refrain from adding them as it will make me lazy with my composition. (with the exception of photos taken from assignments)

Not in this case though.. coz I really wanted to use this picture.

5 exposure HDR (photomatix) + manual blending + slight-defishing

To watch a Sunrise…

It’s a race against time.. to see who reaches the spot first… the sun or you.

It’s a bet against nature, your precious (and most comfortable) hours in bed, in exchange for a show that is unknown and unpredictable.

It’s test of endurance, to move around with no food in your stomach, but a sole purpose in your mind.

It’s a lesson on determination, to learn not to despair should you come back with nothing.

It’s an appreciation of life.

In summary.. it’s a great way to start the day with you =)

天生我材必有用

Slow… Small… Vegetarian… Born loser?

I don’t think so…

嗡嗡嗡。。。

Insects are amazing… especially flying insects. The control involved in keeping such a lightweight frame aloft, to be able to react with such accuracy and agility… all packed into a processor measured in terms of millimeters… from an engineering point of view, the technology involved is simply incredible. It is humbling to know how backward human knowledge is compared to the power of nature.

First time using a dedicated macro lens (a borrowed sigma 150mm F2.8). It’s great to have AF, as it helps to save time when shooting subjects that vary their distance quickly. (and i can MF by just grabbing the ring to fine tune the focus) A great lens with beautiful bokeh, but I doubt I have the budget and time for macro anytime soon…

Sunshine

Never have I wanted a day to be sunny so badly…

And I’m glad my wish was granted yesterday =)
