Kuala Lumpur Stay



These shots were taken during my stay over at Kuala Lumpur (KL) Malaysia during one of the friends' wedding dinner. Stayed at this nice Concorde Hotel, where I had my best buffet dinner I ever had from Malaysia hotels.
Night shots aren't easy to take especially when it's handheld. I got this steady shot against a palm tree for support, which is one of the best means when one lacked a tripod at the moment.

Busy Bangkok



The busy traffic of Thailand Bangkok. Fruit Stalls can be seen everywhere along the streets.

Babies at MediaCorp Super Tots Contest


She's literally looking straight at my big lense.. =)

We have a lot of hilarious baby costumes around~ lol

Here's the Piggy..

Watermelon.....is here?

Woo..leopard kitty as well

She's such a Princess.. ;)

Spotted a sweetie pie =)


Reaching out.. Making friends

It's a long..long..day. Even I'm tired myself..

While the babies were having fun at the contest, I was having fun taking photographs. Simply love my 100-400mm lense

Xu Qi the MediaCorp Artiste



Isn't she lovely? She is the invited MediaCorp guest for the Mediacorp Super Tots Baby Contest. I'm so glad that I brought along my 100-400mm lens. Zooming from far is really a piece of cake! lol Such telephoto lens is a must especially when you know there will be a big crowd at the scene.. I happened to meet a man shooting photographs there, whom did not believe I bought such a L-series lens just for hobby sake. =p

The Huge Hopper



I came across this....huge grasshopper and took this photo. Wooh~ it was at least a 5cm+ in length. This is definitely a "find" for an urban guy like me, where the grasshoppers we see are only 1cm! Anybody knows what species this is?

Palm Tree Revisit



Here's a revisit to the Palm Tree collection. Well, two coconut trees selected to frame this photo. Ohhgoshhh~ I miss the vacation feeling~

Hey folks I went NATAS Fair yesterday. And....I BOUGHT TICKETS TO GREECE! *Shout* HA! This is my longest holiday travel in record. ;) Looking forward to the new photo collection..ha..for June. 3 more months of waiting

Singapore Asian Civilizations Museum



This is the Asian Civilizations Museum, Singapore. I was in luck when I was framing the photo. Notice the line across the sky? That was a plane flying pass the sky.

Palm Tree Delights



I have taken a lot of photos on beaches. hmmmmmm I just enjoy the tranquil feeling it can give. Today's theme is Palm Trees - Coconuts :)

Cloudy Sunrise


Waiting...

Coming...

Finally...

But...
Well, in fact this is my first attempt to capture the sunset scenery. Kinda disappointed though, as my luck wasn't there when I took this photo. Simply too cloudy for a sunrise isn't it? lol But I did enjoyed the process..woke up early..creep through the dark..brave through the cold alone.. Oh well, shall have another attempt again :)

Spiral



btw, if you noticed, I have added a chat feature to the blog. :) Feel free to say hello when you drop by

Fun with Glasses 4



Did anyone guess this is actually the Champaign glasses setup?
This photo sums up the last of "Fun with Glasses" theme, for now :)

Fun with Glasses 3



This is actually a direct shot into a mirror. :) The glasses are placed on a mirror with the rose petals as the accessories. The focusing is actually on the mirror reflection.

Fun with Glasses 2



Here's another glass photo. :) Try out different angles. You never know how amazing the photo can turn out to be. The idea is, to be creative :)

Fun with Glasses 1



The theme will be "Glass". I will be posting photos on glasses these few days. Have fun playing with glasses.

Fun with Lights



Having fun zooming in and out :)
Tips to share:
1. You need to set to a longer shutter speed. Best if you have a remote shutter, then set it to BULB mode.
2. Best with tripod
3. Start off either slowly zoom in...or out.
4a. If you are using manual shutter speed, allocate more time at the end of your zooming.
4b. If you are using remote shutter (BULB mode), hold on to the shot longer at the end of the zooming.
The objective is to have a more steady and precise image as more light is captured.

Try it out! :) Have FUN !

Urban Night



Welcome to Singapore :)

Bokeh



These photos are taken using the Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM lens. Look at the amazing bokeh that this wide aperture created.. Cool isn't it?

Beach Stroll



Lovely stroll by the beach. I love the shadows and the wavy lines created by the residues left behind by the waves.

Birddie Zoomed



This is my first shot with my Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM. Pretty cool lens, it definitely offers a superior zoom. Oh, and it's my first Canon L series lens ;) *Proud Owner*
Here's a review of it from fredmiranda.com

Longing a Getaway



Just for your info~ I spent my Valentine's Day in the library whole day working on my papers.. Not just that, coordinating work...calling my client.
Enough whining. Well..an extraordinary VDay for a change this year :) Longing for a getaway once I get my papers done. That's my mood for now :) Looking forward
Here's a photo taken in Malaysia Redang

Love is in the Air



Happy Valentine's Day to all

Waves



This shot was actually taken in the night.. Thanks to the wide aperture. It was handheld, on a shaky boat. I'm amazed that I can still capture the sharpness of the tiles. LOL Firm hands, once in a hundred :)

Funny Bangkok



Lots of interesting stuff in Thailand. By the way, the chain of cow dungs are fake. LOL
But that box of fried worms is for real!

Dare Devil



These shots are taken just merely a meter away from this magnificent beast. Thailand Bangkok
