Photos from Singapore

Alright, as promised. Here are some of my photos from Singapore! You can also go directly to the album by clicking here. I tried to take different shots of Singapore. On this trip, I managed to exercise my new 50-200mm lens to the fullest. I had only switched over to the 18-55mm lens for a single shot, when I had to shoot something on the ground. As for ...

Cambridge Sunset

I had just taken this photo of a sunset, a few hours ago. This was taken from behind my house, in the bit of green right opposite Midsummer's Common and Jesus Green. I just stood up in my room and saw this beautiful sunset outside my window. Knowing that it would not last for long, I picked up my camera, tripod and lenses, and ran off towards the ...

‘Professional’ Photographs

I've been having a lot of Boots meal deals for lunch recently. As a result, I have amassed a small collection of discount coupons for photograph processing. So, I decided to send a bunch of photographs in for processing yesterday. I ordered a bunch of 9x6 prints for next day processing. I went to collect the photos today and was told that there were problems with my order. ...

Colour Scheming

Most of you must have visited my blog and noticed the new look and feel it has. Some of you would have noticed the four little photographs on the right. I thought that I should describe the process behind turning my blog into this new look. It might be good if others are interested in adapting the process to modify their own blogs. I changed the theme, colours ...

Signature Brushes

Having seen a digitised signature on a friend's blog, I decided to make one of my own. The result is the signature image that you see on the right part of this blog. Instead of using the method that he suggested, I decided to do it using a different method. This was primarily because most of the tutorials used tools that were not at my disposal. So, this ...

Black and White

I think that my photography skills have reached a medium level. At the very least, it is enough for me to understand what my limitations are and to give me enough insight into appreciating the photographs of others. So, I have recently been thinking about focusing on a specific skill to further develop it. After some consideration, I think that I will try to do some black and ...

Buying Lenses

I have been contemplating on getting some new lenses soon. I have grown to realise that the 18-55mm lens that I am currently using with my camera, is rather limiting. So, I was thinking of either getting a telephoto or a prime lens. However, after checking them out, I think that I'll get a telephoto lens first, and maybe a prime at a later time. The telephoto lens that ...

Edinburgh Weekend

I spent last weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland. For some reason, it reminds me a lot of Ipoh. Both cities are surrounded by hills, are about the same size, and the way that the main city centre is laid out between two parallel straight roads, just seems so quaint. The main difference, is obviously the overbearing presence of the castle. I took a noon flight on Saturday. Ray picked me ...
