Weekly Offerings- More bits from Thailand

School's on in full swing now... but I'll try to post some shots up weekly...

Bamboo slats


Memories of quiet mornings sitting on these bamboo slats, reading, and spending time with God, its an environment, a place, a niche which you'll hardly find in Singapore.

A time almost surreal, away from the cares of this world, where you could almost believe there was no worry, no situations.

Just a simple sunrise, and time alone with my creator.



Reading, watching the soft light of dawn creeping above the trees, feeling the gentle caress and warmth of the morning rays, quietly dispelling the cold touch of night air.

Beautiful. I miss Thailand. The tranquility, simplicity of life there.



Some shots from suvarnabhumi airport again...

Guess what's this...


Fellow snapper.



Good day =)

Sails of Steel

Little Bits of Architecture from Suvarnabhumi Airport.



Sails of steel...





School's started. 08's here. I think I'd be busy.

I'm hoping for a 30d. Hmm. I've maxed out my 300d.

Just a little...

Here's just a little bit to keep your eyes bugged here =)

Shots taken in Thailand, Chiang Rai on my recent trip...



Lovely =)

And more Food! =)





Lightroom Madness. There's this flickr issue with colours and saturation, so they aren't turning out as well as they should...

Updates, A Magazine Offer and A Photoblog Feature =)

Just back from a missions trip to Thailand,

2200 shots in 7 days, I predict my macbook and lightroom will merrily be burning away this Christmas season...

And there's a youth camp next week.

The strudel shot has been selected for a magazine publication!





Yay =)

And the kitty shot has been featured on the cutebabyfix photoblog...

Tidbits

Here are little bits of eye candy while I'm busy.

I've discovered Lightroom. Yayness! =) It allows me to mass process stuff so much faster. Thumbs up on that.

I've been busy, despite the hols, I'm hardly home. I've been shooting alot my shutter count has crossed 15k, but finding little time to sit down and process stuff, and I'll be gone again on tuesday for a week to Thailand on missions, so hopefully I'll be back with great stuff, and time to process my shots...

So, enjoy these little bits. =)

Friend on the rooftop of vivo city, candid, right off the floor shots. Leading lines and depth.


Here they are... for the time being...

Refreshers

Exams are over, lots of shoots lately, and posts will be up soon...

New hardware, ditched windoze for the just refreshed Santa Rosa white macbook finally, checking out lightroom first, which I'm inclined to use for now... I'm not sure about aperture yet. And its alot more accurate to edit images up on a mac, the display is simply mindblowing, and the colours are great...

Cafe Pralet =))

Just remembered I had some photos from an FCM outing to Cafe Pralet... Here are just little bits of it =) I didn't shoot much, heh, didn't know how they'll react to this guy with a massive dslr shooting at their stuff... =)

I don't think they have a website... but here's a link that shows the location...

The ambience in the place is really warm and cosy (at least in my opinion, I love warm lights, a yellow glowy interior, nice plush sofas, soft music...) And it wasn't crowded, just perfect for a place to chill out... Food prices are not too bad, you can get an entire decent meal at around ten bucks, (which includes dessert and a drink...) , and the proportions are quite alright... There's a cooking/baking school next door by the same people, so some of the creations I guess, come from next door... I can't remember the spread of cakes and stuff, but its a good variety, and some stuff is really rare, like the Irish Bailey Cream cake which I had...



Love the creative menu... Its a calendar stand thingy... =) Classy, modern, simple =)

Seafood baked rice! Really really good. ALOT OF CHEESE ON TOP =P```



THE BAILEY'S IRISH CREAM CHOCOLATE CAKE =))



Okay, it wasn't as great as I would have expected it to be... (cos the Irish cream taste wasn't that strong, and I'm an Irish Cream fan... Maybe the students baking it next door snuck some from the bottle. Grrr.)

I think I sound like a girl. Heh. Usually guys don't get this excited over pastries, cakes and chocolate. But it was good...

Had this sour plum cooler thingy for the drink... didn't snap pictures of it, but it was great... and they had real sour plums in it... (I got about 6 of them... heh, compared to the rest who got 3/4...) Thinking of it makes me thirsty...

WHO WANTS TO GO =)) I'll prob. find one day to org. an outing there to chill out and grab a meal after the exams...
