Taiwan part 1

National Dong Hwa University, Hualien

As the year comes to a close, I've decided to do this year justice by posting a few more photos. It has undoubtedly been a happening year, especially the second half, with two trips to Taiwan and one long trip to different parts of the US.

The first Taiwan trip is boring. Partly because of a failed proposal, but more because it just kept raining. We were at the tail-end of a typhoon, and only had a single day of sunshine for the entire 2 weeks I was there.. 

As I said.. my sunshine didn't come..

More to come...

火树银花： 继续50年的璀璨与繁华

The past 50 years is has undoubtedly been spectacular. Singapore has rocketed from 3rd world to 1st. But according to the 20-80 rule, a huge 80% of the effort will be needed to sustain our growth from where we are right now. This effort will have to come from a new generation.. brought up in comfort and complacence. Do we have what it takes to carry on?

(Technical details and more photos after the break..)

SG50.

Slowly but surely, we build up common memories that define who we are..

New year, new technique. Hello 2015!

Thanks for waiting =).

Just like previous years, is an uneventful sunrise. I did notice an increased crowd, and some photogs were pretty hardcore (dragging trolley bags of photog equipment!). There was a slight drizzle, so pardon the lens flares.

This is my first hyperlapse project. Although it's really short, it took me a whole day to process. Most of the time was spent stabilizing the footage. Due to the crowd, I couldn't stay on my intended track, and there were some instances where my view was blocked, or where I accidentally adjusted the tripod leg as I moved (See comparison after the break).
