A nice sunset was forming as I made my way towards the Bélem Tower in Lisbon, Portugal after shooting the Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho Monument. Ever since I got the iPhone 4, I always like to take a shot on the iPhone in addition to taking a few on my “real” camera, a Nikon D7000.… Continue reading Bélem Tower at Sunset

Flying Into the Sunset
On a recent holiday to Spain and Portugal last year, my tour group arrived at the Belém Tower park at sunset after a city tour. I caught sight of the Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho Monument and a crescent moon which has just risen. I decided to capture the plane of the monument seemingly flying… Continue reading Flying Into the Sunset
Supermoon Redux
Last year, I set out to shoot the Supermoon but it was thwarted by the cloudy weather and I came home without any shots of it. This year, the Supermoon came by again and I decided to give it another go. However, irresponsible Indonesian farmers decided to use the ancient “Slash and burn” technique of… Continue reading Supermoon Redux
Marina Bay Sands At Dusk (Or How I Failed to Shoot the Supermoon.)

I also asked a long time friend of mine, Clarence, who agreed to come along as well. The trip itself… Continue reading Perth Sunset

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
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
Golden Durian
Was at the Esplanade (also affectionately known among the locals as the “Durian” due to the spikes on the domes) before a concert when I saw the golden rays of the setting sun striking one of the domes. Took out the Panasonic LX-3 and grabbed a couple of shots before the light faded. To enhance… Continue reading Golden Durian
