Calton Hill, Edinburgh

When I first arrived at Edinburgh, I was greeted by the typical greyish UK weather. I was kind of disappointed but since I was already there I decided to see what I can get out of it. I’ve seen many nice photographs taken from Calton Hill, so despite the appalling weather decided to go up… Continue reading Calton Hill, Edinburgh

Loch Katrine

Our final stop is Loch Katrine, where we also stopped at the Stronachlachar Pier Tea Room for a drink and some snacks. It’s a cosy little place and the owner appears to be a photography enthusiast as well, working on some beautiful photos which he’s taken in the morning. Outside the tea room, we can… Continue reading Loch Katrine

Loch Chon

After shooting Loch Lomond, we went on to Loch Chon, another lake in the area. Along the way, we came across this at an unnamed lake near Loch Chon. The weather is still holding out pretty well, which provided the nice lighting that we all love. I posted this shot on Facebook and a friend… Continue reading Loch Chon

Loch Lomond

Lying on the Highland Boundary Fault, Loch Lomond is the largest freshwater loch/lake in Great Britain by surface area.

We stopped by at one side… Continue reading Loch Lomond

A whole lot of photographers including myself have gathered at the Merlion Bridge early, pointing their cameras towards the Esplanade… Continue reading Making the Best of the Situation II

Little India – Traditional Indian Stalls

With bigger bookstores and new magazines all around the country, we seldom get to see the traditional magazine stalls anymore. But here in Little India, there are still some around. The books and magazines are neatly spread out on the table, and more are hung from clotheslines at the top. This makes for a colourful… Continue reading Little India – Traditional Indian Stalls

San Francisco – Fisherman’s Wharf

Some shots from the Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, a very popular tourist destination. The Boudin Bakery, famous for its sourdough bread, is situated here. The nice San Francisco weather makes for a good alfresco dining experience, unlike in hot and humid Singapore. There are many buskers located throughout Fisherman’s Wharf, giving their performance in… Continue reading San Francisco – Fisherman’s Wharf
