Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 3
If there’s one thing I miss on portrait lenses, it’s optical stabilization in low light situations typical of a restaurant. These were taken (badly) this morning during a brunch at Swensens @ Compass Point, and if you’ve been there for
New m4/3s!
The micro four-thirds format sure is picking up steam. I blogged about the E-P1 last year in June. But as attractive as the size and sensor format of the camera was, I wasn’t tempted. The first iteration of Olympus’ design

Time to work on the HDR compositions! Here’s Part 2.:) I finally managed to get some much nicer bracketed exposures of Kumamoto Castle on Saturday morning – the day before departure. Like the picture taken from my blog post “Meals

Though I decided to bring along the Sigma 18-250mm lens at the last minute while packing for the trip 9 days ago, funnily I never got round to using the lens. It sat in my luggage bag during my entire
Kyu-Hosokawa Gyobutei
The last place I took a quick look at was Hosokawa Mansion, which was a short 10 minute walk from the hotel. This is a 300 year old samurai mansion that was the former residence of the Lord of the
