Macro Len... I polled a few fellow photographers who don’t already own a macro len recently. Most would agree that they thought “having a macro len will help them to nail the detail shoots”. Detail shoots in this case are photos such as the lovely rings (not that the rings or encrusted diamonds are getting smaller in this current economic crisis)! That’s what plan to find out this weekend. My first encounter with using a macro len was a borrowed Tamron 90mm Macro some years back. Good as it’s review may be, I didn’t like it as it “hunt”...

Deli & Jaclyn... After going through a few tough weeks at work, I finally got the opportunity to do the things I like most again … wedding photography! Deli and Jaclyn is a lovely couple that I met recently at a friend’s studio. They don’t have a lot of questions to ask but that’s definitely not required. Tagging along was their family members whom fired off the first salvo followed by a barrage of questions.  That’s nothing uncommon as it always better to set the expectation right from the start. Well the 2hrs shoot stretched to nearly 3hrs covering their...

Roy & Sheila... A instant sense if deja vu overwelmed me as I step into The Sentosa Singapore, Beaufort Hotel main lobby last Saturday. I can vividly recalled visiting this place (what was formally known as Beaufort Sentosa) in my younger days with my then girlfriend (now known as wife … grin). The name changed, but the place/structure doesn’t and it brings back beautiful memories. Anyway I was here to shoot the solemnization of Roy and Sheila at the lovely Ginger Cinnamon Terrace, an assignment I have undertake from an associate’s studio. The romantic setting allows...

Welcoming the Ox year... Welcome to the year of the Ox.  I wish all my readers and customers a happy Chinese New Year and prosperous year ahead.  Those who have been to my site before may noticed that I have done some major “spring cleaning”. All my previous entires have been temporary removed. I have also changed my theme to something simple and elegant. Do check back often as I will be updating soon. Cheers.

Western Australia... I went on a self-drive holiday with my family in Western Australia early April this year. A lot of time for pre-planning was put into this trip as I have not driven in Australia since my graduation in 2001, let alone drive in Perth. The trip was also unique, because it will be the first time both my daughters (aka Twin Terror) are coming along. For those planning a similar family trip with kids in tow, this trip is for you. Do note that this trip revolve around 2 things; making the children happy + food. Space does not permit me to put up more photos and full day-by-day...

Koh Samui, Thailand... A short 4D3N trip to Koh Samui, Thailand taken during May this year. Day 1 Arrive in Koh Samui and eat eat eat , shop shop shop… Day 2 Banana Boat and motorcycle (no experience required but RIDE WITH CARE AND DON’T PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK) trip anyone? Day 3 Snorkeling trip and more food plus shopping. Day 4 Rest and relax … The trip was fun, the food cheap and great but i felt that things (i.e. t-shirts) was much more expensive then I expected. Here’s a slideshow for your pleasant viewing.   The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support...

Reflection of Year 2008... Feeling restless and edgy since Christmas, it occurred upon me that 2008 is coming to an end and in four more days, 2009 will come. Why restless and edgy since December always come abundant with holidays? Properly its because of the extra load that was bestowed to me at work, properly it is just the red meat and extra pound I gained since Christmas (ophs), properly it’s just me! As I sat down writing this entry, I wanted to put down the list of stuff that I want to complete by end of 2008. Here they are: 1. Update my Wordpress Theme   done 27th 2. Write about my Western...

Seasons Greetings... Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

2008 Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand P... Flipping the newspaper this evening, I realized that there is only 1 race left in this year Formula Grand Prix. My mind immediately raced back to the Singapore F1 photos buried deep in my hard disk folders! Anyway let’s do a flashback before i publish my photos … Approximately 8yrs ago I was in Melbourne studying for my Degree. My fellow University mates, persuaded me without success to part with A$300+ (can’t remember clearly) to watch a once in a life time F1 race at Albert Park, Melbourne. I have two reasons for not going, firstly as a student A$300+ was a lot of...

Laurence and Livia... Had a enjoyable solemnization shoot yesterday. The couple, Laurence and Livia and their family members are very nice people. With romantic setting, cute toddlers and a JP that looks like our Senior Minister Mentor, I couldn’t ask for more. Enjoy the photos. p/s: The JP is Dr Lee Suan Yew, younger brother of Singapore’s Senior Minister Mentor
