Glimpse

Some photos simply speak for themselves.

Simple Joy

It was a wonderful week spent with the little ones during the vacation Bible school...

Perhaps, in photography, there is very little else that can compare to the joys of capturing stills amongst them. There is this liveliness, and spirit in it that cannot be found in the most brilliant of sunsets, or in the lofty grandeur of architectural wonders.

Being the mascot (I was Captain Cosmos! An intergalactic astronaut of unparalleled courage) helps tremendously, it removes any apprehension or unfamiliarity you might face...

It was a return, back to the days of childhood, before the simple joys of life, and crystal innocence are tainted by this world.

Above all that, there was no greater joy than to see them discover who God is.

It was a day with the 50mm, plenty of Bokeh, Off hand/hip shots, unfeigned smiles and innocent laughter.

WAVES - LOOK AT THE YELLOW LINES






Ah. Lameness at its prime.

Spider Lilies

Was down at the henderson wave during the day. Not really impressed. Flora and fauna was lacking terribly, the only thriving species were ants. I'm no macro photographer (I was infatuated with my 50mm all over again) and well, just did what little I could. As you can probably tell, I need a little more practice with aperture management. I tend to shoot at the lowest f-stops possible, but that leads to the lack of details or clarity. Well, practice, practice.

The architecture probably would work out alot nicer at night with the lighting. But then again, unless I have 10-22 or fisheye on me... I've got no interest in heading back anytime soon.

Well, I've got no desire to come back with a load of touristy sunset-with-cablecars-industrialpark-crassjungle-juxtaposed-"scenic" shots. So much for Singapore... I'd save my breath for streets, people, and the Thai trip coming up.

Mugathoner!

2 Weeks to the exams, and we've been having mugathons in the library! This is a typical scene when James does his research papers. I've jut got to have the books laid out around me, and it sort of really reflects upon my scatter-brained, random mind. I flit from book to book like uhm... a butterfly from flower to flower, tasting the sweetness of the writings from ages past... Uhm Yes. Something like that.

Just me, iBernia, 5000+ musty books and God.

The Early Days

Rummaged around lightroom, and found this little piece out of the 15000+ photos.

This was shot during a street shoot at Clarke Quay years ago when I first entered the DSLR territory. This would be one of the 5-foot walkways at the shopping/dining arcade. Architecture and Depth of field remains as one of my pet favourites.

I did compose this shot with a wider angle to the right, but that photo just got too distracting with unnecessary objects in the distance, so well, this was a product of the early experiments. It has a smooth finish due to the fresh renovations then.
