New Quote from Montague E

I was chatting with CP over MSN when suddenly this quote came out of my mind.

"Everywhere i see, is an opportunity of a good shot to be taken."

My mind is currently looking forward to my trip to Botanical Gardens next week.
It is most likely a Saturday or a Sunday.

Practise makes perfect, as the old saying goes.........

The day after Sungei Buloh

The day started at 6am when i woke up and leaving the hse @ 6.30am. I took a bus and train to Kranji Station and bus 925 from Kranji Station to Sungei Buloh. The trip took me 1hr 30mins from my hse. Though its far, but the end result is worth it, really..

The whole experience took me and my friends (plus his wife) a total of 6+ hours. I practically went thru route 1 and 2 and some part of route 3 in Sungei Buloh. I believe i really gain alot from what i learnt from my friend CP.

CP is a nature photographer hobbyist, as he is a seasoned one, i had invited him to join me in this trip. He provided numerous good advice and it will show in some of my photos once i have them ready.

Thanks CP, for your presence, it is really appreciated.

Hope you will enjoy the next few pictures (taken by T20)

Welcome to Sungei Buloh




Below are some of the shots i took using my Sony Alpha-100.



This is just the tip of the iceberg. Behold for more to come....

Sungei Buloh - here i come (22/09)

I am currently preparing some theme/pic topics on what to take when i am having a field day at Sungei Buloh (one of singapore's last few nature reserves). Currently, I have 5 types of pictures i would like to take.

Right now, i am at home resting. (*sniff sniff* Cough Cough) Down with a very bad cough and throat irritation. Had 1 day of rest yesterday but having an additional 1 more day today.
I was given 4 types of medication, OMG! well well, being the good boy, i am going to complete my antibiotics full dosage especially as i don't want to affect the rest of the human kind by contributing to the strengthening of the bacteria resistant to Antibiotics. Gd boy, ain't i? hehe

For those who wants to know more about Sungei Buloh (singapore's last few nature walks and reserves) - http://www.sbwr.org.sg/

Looking thru the world via the eyes of my lens......
This world is beautiful as one perceives.

More to come after tomorrow's field trip......

Getting to know a Sony Alpha 100

A few months back, i went for a 2 day Sony Alpha Experience at Sony premises by renowned photographer, Julian W, who conducted the course. The course was really enriching and it demostrated the fundamental techniques of photography and also learning more about Sony's first DSLR foray, the ALPHA 100.

Below are some pictures which i have taken during the course.


















I love the Sony Alpha 100 so much that i bought my own set eventually as my own b'day gift.

Wah ha ha ha ha ha.... :P





My very own set of Alpha 100 includes the following
1) Carrying case
2) Battery
3) Charger
4) Kit Lens (18-70mm)
5) Camera Body
6) Usual Freebies (Alpha 100K) set

I really love my SONY! Finally, its a Sony!






Actually, I have a Cybershot T20 too... hehe....








Pardon my photo, i had used the Mirror for self shot. (updated - Thanks CP for converting the original Pic to show correctly via Photoshop, Great work!)


With the above equipments, i have borrowed a Gitzo carbon fibre Tripod with a Giotto ballhead from my colleague. Thanks CP for your loan tripod.


My passion is at this iniate stage and i hope to grow in this passion. As i grow, i would like to share all that i experience with you and you alone. I hope everyone will benefit from what i have gone thru and lets learn thru my experience.


I love to take more and more photos to share with everyone and anyone reading this blog.

There will be more upcoming photos of 2 events which i will post on my next upload.





Sungei Buloh (singapore's premier Nature Reserves)

Mid-Autumn Festival (singapore's local chinese festival)
