Hannah’s Blurb Book is nearly done!
Just over three months ago in February I posted briefly about starting work on Vita Una: Book V. The fifth volume is finally about done. And not a moment too soon too, since I’m hoping to do a final check

Integrity, Manipulation and Ethics
There’s an interesting debate running online about the use of a new controversial feature in the upcoming Adobe Photoshop CS5. Specifically, the “Content-Aware Fill” feature that will apparently allow manipulation of specific parts of an image with ease. Just to
Panasonic HDC-TM700
Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work
Bag Fetishes
I’ve posted here about my occasional obsession with camera/notebook bags – which at some level speaks about gender equality; that Ling has her thing about handbags, I’ve got an equivalent thing about camera and notebook bags too.:) Anyway – the
Hannah with E-PL1
Now that I’ve had the E-PL1 for nearly a fortnight and used it with a third party flash unit for indoor flash photography, I think I’ve got a better feel for the camera, its utility and limitations. Oh yeah –
Self Service – Part 2
Last year in December I did a short post on Hannah feeding herself with a Pigeon sippy cup, but funnily we didn’t really create many opportunities for her to do the same again since then. So, the next time she
Going Nuts
One marvelous thing about the 14-42mm kit lens on the E-PL1 is its macro ability, and minimum focusing distance of just 0.25m. While it’s still not quite enough for you to shoot bugs, it’ll be about alright for quick n’
Hannah in Sepia
Truth to tell, while all the other digital compact cameras I’ve had invariably come with special effect filters, I’ve never really got into any of them before. The E-PL1 comes with half a dozen ‘art’ filters, including a couple of

Olympus E-PL1 – Part 4
I’d been taking random pictures and looking with untrained eyes off images. To sum up in a sentence what the image quality in the E-PL1 looks like to me: it’s not quite as good as the images off a D300,
Olympus E-PL1 – Part 3
Now for the inevitable bug bears. The Olympus Pen m4/3 cameras have got a lot of flak for their contrast-detection AF system. Basically, it’s slow. If you’ve only used DSLRs, the AF hunting the E-PL1 does is gonna be real
Olympus E-PL1 – Part 2
Surprisingly, the E-PL1 can be had for relatively attractive prices here in Singapore though the recommended retail price here is SGD998. The unit with the standard 14-42mm lens can be purchased for as low as SGD900, which while is still
