Pearls Hill - Part 1





The Hill behind my house always hold a sense of serenity yet mystery for me..

This is a hill which i spend a large part of my childhood in, there are also times when i use it as a shortcut between my house and my grandma's hse which is just on the opp side of the hill. Sometimes i wander around to explore more.

Daily morning activities would see people jogging vigorously, elderly doing taiji in groups, others having their slow morning walk before dim sum, kids running around with their parents. In the mist of this happening, seasonally, you could see raw cotton floating around from the cotton trees. Drifting in mid air, looking for a spot to lay down. A green pasture where it can breath new life into. On a historical side, this hill seen thru the British Colonial days where this same hill, you could see the sea, the singapore river in its great splendour. This hill is no lesser than Fort Canning. It used to house prisoners on the hill top before it was converted to a water reserves as what it is now.

What a place to be in, for nature or history, this is Pearl's Hill......

Long awaited CBD pictures

Its been a long time since my last post, apologises.

Had a few other practise trips after the CBD Pic-Trip, including 1 to Pearl Park for some macro photography. Every Pic i take is a new lesson learnt.
Without any further ado, let me show you some of the Singapore CBD pictures that i have taken on that eventful day.

Early morning - CBD shot

Woke up at 5:30am and went down to Esplanade by 6:15am, to catch the sunrise at 6:47am. 
In my mind, i had pictured having a few shots, before first light, during first light and full sunlight. The weather was cloudy and looks like gonna rain. 

"Not a good day for photography" said a Sony A700 photographer. 
I couldn't agree more....

TWO Highlights of my morning photoshooting today.
1) Got a morning shot that i am looking for. Something which i try to emulate from which i saw on a photomag. (still trying to catch that "moment")
2) Saw a Sony A-700 photographer. He was using the Manfrotto Tripod - 055 model i think. 

I am still going thru the pics and will put up some in my next post. 

Will heading back to office shortly for some work. 

Need a good SUNDAY rest tomorrow... Have a great weekend!

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....
