falling in love with photography all over again..

X100S is so hot! Nite photography is very fun and very addictive with X100S. I have just invested in a very good Sirui carbon tripod. My past tripods were either too small to do anything serious or they were too damn heavy to lug around for outdoor photo takings. With the Sirui T-025 tripod which weighs a mere 0.7kg, I can lug it around easily anywhere during nite shooting.

Street photography - Little India

Little India is possibly the most colourful place in Singapore. It is a very exciting and vibrant place to do street photography. Here you can find gaily painted  shop houses and buildings. The best way to appreciate Little India is to take a walk with a camera.

Little India - a world of its own!

Street photography at Tanjong Pagar

Tanjong Pagar is filled with nite lives when the sun sets. Pubs and water holes are plentiful along every streets and corners of Tanjong Pagar. It is a good place to do nite photography.

Don't keep your camera when the sun goes down! Life has just begun at Tanjong Pagar!

nite photography at Telok Ayer

Nite photography is fun. For this photo outing, I used a small aperture (eg f8) and play around with shutter speed from 1 sec onwards. Keeping the aperture small is one way to bring almost everything in focus and also to prevent the photo from being over exposed. Remember to carry a tripod for nite photography.

Toa Payoh Town Park

Everybody knows that Toa Payoh is a HDB housing estate. But did you know that nested within the concrete jungle is an oasis of greenery?

I took a walk at Toa Payoh Town Park one fine evening after work. Surprisingly,  the park is very scenic and I only discovered this now, though OrangeTee building is just opposite the park.

Selegie – a walk down memory lane

I took a stroll with my camera along Selegie Road and its neighbourhood last weekend after my viewing at Sophia Residence. Much of Selegie "old" characters since my school days are preserved. Even the old Cathay Cinema facade is maintained, though the old cinema building was torn down and rebuilt.  Now, we have the School of the Arts (SOTA) as the dominating character in the Selegie Area.

Go take a stroll at Selegie . It will sure bring back some fond memories of your school daze. Remember Bras Basah?
