Went on another early morning shoot with YS at the amphitheatre of the Esplanade. On this day, the waters aren’t as still as one of my earlier shoots, but it’s still a reasonably good time to shoot the Marina Bay Sands and the skyline as the water is still calmer compared to the evening. The… Continue reading Morning Shoot with YS
Double Rainbow
I have not seen a rainbow, much less two rainbows for a long time now. Today, after a short period of rain, my father alerted me to the rainbow and I rushed to get my iPhone and camera to capture this rare moment. It started with one rainbow, but after a few shots on the… Continue reading Double Rainbow
Henderson Waves
Standing at 36m above Henderson Road, the Henderson Waves is Singapore’s tallest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It links Mt. Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill and is part of the Southern Ridges, a 9km trail that links several parks in the southern end of Singapore. The distinctive feature of the bridge are the wave-like structures… Continue reading Henderson Waves
Fujifilm FinePix X100 Hands-on Review
The newly launched Fujifilm FinePix X100 has got to be one of the most talked about “professional compact” recently. A friend of mine tried it out during the recently concluded IT Show 2011 in Singapore and has written a hands-on review of it and you can check it out over at Digital Home Thoughts. Invisible… Continue reading Fujifilm FinePix X100 Hands-on Review
Great Court, British Museum
At the centre of the British Museum is the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court (or simply known as the Great Court). The cylindrical Reading Room lies in the middle, and a massive steel and glass provides a skylight for the courtyard it encloses. I was trying to find a good vantage point from which to… Continue reading Great Court, British Museum
Durham Cathedral
Located high above River Wear, the Durham Cathedral in Durham, UK is one of the most prominent landmarks of Durham and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first two Harry Potter movies were also filmed at the cathedral. Jed and I eventually got to a corner of the cloister and decided to… Continue reading Durham Cathedral
Roman Baths
This is the last stop of my day trip to Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and the Roman Baths. Located in the city of Bath, the Roman Baths is a complex housing a temple and a public bath with naturally occurring hot water from the hotspring below. Today, the water is no longer safe for drinking/bathing. Around… Continue reading Roman Baths
Salisbury Cathedral
This is the 2nd stop of my day trip to Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and Bath. The British people have weird and unintuitive ways to pronounce many of the places in the UK, so I was quite intrigued that Salisbury is actually pronounced solz-bree and not Sa-lis-buh-ree as it’s written. Anyway, when I got there, the… Continue reading Salisbury Cathedral
Stonehenge
I’ve always wanted to see the Stonehenge in person, so I had to make a trip down when I was holidaying in the UK last year. Booked a day tour of Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral and Bath (more about them in a later blog post), and after about a 3-hour journey, I arrived. After walking from… Continue reading Stonehenge
More Megapixels Does Not Give You a Better Picture
Attended a short talk “My Journey, 30 Years On” where Joe McNally shares with the participants the 30 years of his photographic career and some of the backstory behind some of his shots. Among the snippets of information he shared with us is what I paraphrased here: More megapixels does not necessarily give you a… Continue reading More Megapixels Does Not Give You a Better Picture
