A learning process

My first time taking part in a competition (SYPA) seriously.. and the first time I had to print some of my favourite images. There’s a lot to learn from the process.. the selection of pictures, the editing, proofing and finally printing. Click on for the whole story…

How many hours of sleep is 1 mark worth?

According to my calculations… at least 10 hours per mark… maybe more. Thanks for understanding. =)

漂亮的日落，却只能一个人欣赏，好遗憾。。。

Monkey business

 

Which way’s up? In case you are confused, you are looking at an upside-down image. Yea, my D70 just got a new lease of life – as a stuntman. Ever since it sprouted legs it has been trying out all sorts of weird poses at home. These legs aren’t cheap, considering that they are already OEM products, but are pretty solid, capable of handling even the d300+80-200 combo. It takes some experience to get the legs in the strongest position though, and i’ll need to find a suitable ballhead for this contraption. It isn’t easy making fine composition adjustments when u’re upside down.

I’m already considering the smaller sized models to hold up my flash, and in case i get a compact camera, provided a decent one is available.

好久不见

好不容易有机会遇见的景色，却在刹那间消失。。。 很遗憾，我错过了。月亮太高太亮了，四周的光线却越来越暗。。。

Hmm.. 下个月再见吧!

=)

The day…

Conflicting interests… While I looked forward to this day, I dreaded it too.. How will today pass?

*fingers crossed*

Feb 2

Long time no blog.

Took a new route home today, just to have a look at some of the new buildings (that are not meant for undergrads obviously…) Snapped this with my E72 (inspired by a Windows 7 wallpaper).

Problem with hand-phone pictures… they are so compressed banding is very obvious once you start adjusting (take a look at the sky). Also had a hard time anti-aliasing the over-sharpened edges. In short, this picture went through quite a bit of photoshop.

Just as an update to my loyal readers: I’ll be away for Chinese New Year from 16th to 22nd Feb.

Back to mugging….

Pandan Reservoir will never be the same again…

Will I change too?

For better or for worse?
