A worthy companion

Ideal compact – When one has shot DSLR (and larger) cameras long enough, this term will start appearing in the back of your mind. Nope, I’ve not found THE ideal compact yet, but I’ve got something close enough =) [long post. Beware..]

昙花一现…

It may have brightened up the night sky, but how long can it sustain?

Path with a view

My new observation: Rainy morning = clear blue skies in evening.
It’s been a long time since I’ve shot such colourful sunsets at Pandan reservoir lately.. this shot came just in time for me to try out a number of new processing tools.

No emo no emo kk? =)

Fortress in the City

5 exposure HDR, processed a little more aggressively for the controversial, HDR-ish look.

Been rather busy with work these days.. No time to shoot beaches… yet. ha.

Soft and delicate…

I’ve never really felt Singapore’s beaches were worth treasuring, as there is nothing much there anyway, given all the land reclamation going on. But when i heard of the oil spill which left the East Coast and Changi beach covered in oily sludge, I suddenly had the urge to visit all the other beaches before they are affected too. They have never meant so much to me before..

Being a major petroleum refinery, Singapore is highly susceptible to oil spills. The beaches are lifeless enough without all the sludge, and all it takes is a couple of oil spills to finish them off.

Pointing and shooting

Shooting with my E72 never fails to surprise.. Being “free-and-easy” encourages me to walk more, and explore more angles. There is no pressure to create good pictures, but when I make a pic i like, the sense of satisfaction is just as strong.

Colour on the E72 is rather poor though.. and lacks the punch and contrast of a proper camera. But with some processing, I doubt anyone would notice it.

The nameless

Been trying hard to find new perspectives from the short mini stretch of “beach” at West Coast Park. It’s naturally a delight to find new spots, though the environment isn’t what i’d call friendly.
