Weekends and 35mm – Part 4

Posted on 30 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

I just realized that it’s been a month since I posted up pictures of Hannah using the 35mm! She’s just about a month away to three years old, and we’ve been teaching her to recognize the significance of her coming

Recording Moments

Posted on 28 Apr 201228 Apr 2012   by CY

Our friend from our cell-group recently gave birth to her first born. During her months of pregnancy, Ling had lots of sharing about our own experiences of having Hannah as our first born, the equipment and apparel she  used  –

Hannah @ 20mm f1.7 – Part 2

Posted on 21 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Another weekend with the Lumix 20mm f1.7, and still waiting for demonstration units of the Olympus OMD EM5 to get to Courts for me to try out.=) I think I’ve found the lens’ sweet spot for center sharpness – and

Fujifilm X100 – Revisited

Posted on 15 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

I’ve been reading up a lot on the Fujifilm X100, X-Pro 1 and Sony Nex 7, but nothing beats taking the cameras out for the weekend and putting it through the places. Not that I had kakis (that means ‘buddies’

Meet-the-Teachers

Posted on 13 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

Hannah has been with her nursery school for a full one term of 10 weeks now. The both of us decided it was about time to speak to her teachers and see how she’s been in school. We do get

Swimming!

Posted on 12 Apr 201212 Apr 2012   by CY

A short video taken over the weekend using the Canon IXUS HS115 + WP-DC310L. I had some difficulty transcoding the original video file onto Flickr, hence the rather weird letterbox around the video below. Might work on it later again.

Hannah @ 20mm f1.7

Posted on 7 Apr 20123 Apr 2018   by CY

A wrap up of several hundred pictures taken over the long weekend. These ones here were all on the Lumix 20mm f1.7. This prime lens remains fixed on my E-PL2 pretty much all the time, though now that I’ve used

Hannah’s Day at the Bird Park

Posted on 6 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

We last visited the Jurong Bird Park in Oct 2009, and that was largely an inspired reaction to the amazing sights we saw at the Bali Bird Park. That was shortly after Hannah joined our family, so she didn’t join

A bathroom singer – in the making

Posted on 6 Apr 2012   by Ling

Hannah usually does her big business just before bedtime. She would sit on the toilet bowl to wait for the ‘moment’ to come. In the meantime, I would keep her company and do sing-a-long with her. Her repertoire of children’s

Hannah @ 24-60mm f2.8

Posted on 3 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The Sigma 24-60mm f2.8 saw a lot of use when Hannah was a year old, but hasn’t been anymore of late since I picked up the 35mm and did micro-AF tuning of the 50mm. I picked up the full-frame lens

Hannah @ 50mm – Part 2

Posted on 2 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The 35mm f1.8D was taken out for a spin last weekend. This weekend, it was the 50mm f1.8D’s turn. I shot a whole bunch of pictures of Hannah wide-open, and as before, at f1.8 pictures were a little soft. Sigh.
