Weekends and 35mm – Part 2

Posted on 26 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The more pictures I take of Hannah, the more I’m convinced it’s incredibly hard to take pictures of children! Specifically; they don’t pose on demand, and they’re constantly on the move. Out of say every one hundred pictures I take

BlackRapid RS4

I’ve finally picked up a replacement strap for the Optech. Many photography enthusiasts will be familiar with the BlackRapid series. Basically, rather than a strap that goes around the neck and gives you strain right about there when you’re lugging

Rarely does a day go by when we don’t find ourselves surprised by how quickly Hannah is learning to communicate with us! For instance, she was having her routine 15 minutes of Where’s my Water last night, and upon an unsuccessful

Happy Meals on Weekends

Posted on 16 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by Ling

It has been more than a month since I last blogged. I have switched to a new working environment since the beginning of the year and the workload has been heavier than before. I have not had the time or

We were expecting the worst when heading out for a family dinner this evening after work. It’s Valentine’s Day, and every Singaporean couple and family are out for a celebration dinner. We raced off after work, drove like crazy to

Bay Windows

Posted on 12 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The last of our weekend pictures taken of Hannah. This bunch was just after she woke up from her afternoon nap on Saturday afternoon. Our girl has taken to sitting on it and looking out to the swimming pool, trees,

Punggol Waterway

Posted on 11 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The Punggol Waterway is a pretty easy spot to find for us, since we’ve driven past it before when on our way to Hannah’s nursery school. The place was officially opened on 23 Oct last  year, and features a roughly

OK; it’s official. I have to squint real hard if I want to read the viewfinder’s information display now. !@#!@#! We’re gonna be heading out later in the afternoon to check out the new Punggol waterfront area that our friends

GGS III Screen Protector

Posted on 10 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

I admit it – I’m endlessly fascinated with gadgets! The Acmaxx LCD Screen Protector protected the screen without any perceptible loss of light transmission even though I disliked its chrome trim. There was a one major problem though. After blogging

Focus Fine-tuning

Posted on 9 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

One of my relatively unused lenses is a 50mm f1.8 that I bought for cheap off an ex-colleague some years ago. The lens is a little on the long side for a crop sensor body like my old D300 and
