American Midwest

Posted on 15 Aug 2009   by CY

Here comes the proverbial post on traveling and destinations I’ll like to visit at some point! Ling has visited most of Europe (I’ve only been to Denmark bleh) so whenever I bring up Central Europe for instance as a possible

Men and their bags

Posted on 10 Aug 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

Women have their fascination with the Chanel and Gucci bags; men who’re photography enthusiasts have the same with their camera bags LOL. There’s actually a web site that’s about the epitome of this love, and simultaneously serving also as a

Hannah on ND

Posted on 9 Aug 2009   by CY

The weather looked better on National Day, so we planned to head to Punggol Park to take some family photographs. We had everything nailed down pat – timing, equipment and baby things to bring along. Unfortunately, the most important subject

Feeding, Burping, Reading

Posted on 8 Aug 2009   by CY

Ling has a established pattern when it comes to Hannah’s meal times: it’s feeding, then burping, then reading. I’ve been wanting to try out the Sigma 24-60 mm F2.8 EX DG lens too that I bought last year but haven’t

Sigma 18-250mm

Posted on 8 Aug 2009   by CY

So, after giving it a lot of hard thought, I decided a fortnight ago to get an all-in-one travel lens that would give me a bit more reach beyond 55mm, and which I hope will see extensive use when I’m

Musing about lenses

Posted on 7 Aug 2009   by CY

The professional class of photographers typically insist on prime lenses or nothing. But photography is just a hobby and extra-curricular activity for me. As optically incredible and perfect as some of those f1.4 of f2.8 lenses can be, I just

“Package delivery for you sir”

Posted on 6 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

One of the nicest things about being in a technology-enabled generation is that your purchasing options opens up a lot. I remember my first online purchase was in 1996, back during the days when Secure payment modes were still a

San Francisco Videos – Yerba Buena Gardens

Posted on 6 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

The about 8 hours of HD video I took during the San Francisco trip have been left on the computer hard disk for a while, so I finally got round to encoding some small snippets. I’ll be uploading these video

16 kg lens

Posted on 31 Jul 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

Just for laughs; is this the heaviest lens available at consumer retail? And mind you; the lens above actually exists. It’s the Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 APO EX DG Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens, and retails for a very cool USD28,999.00. And Amazon

Fireworks Festival

Posted on 21 Jul 2009   by CY

A colleague was asking if I was intending to do the Fireworks shoot this year. Unfortunately, with Hannah that’s gonna be real difficult. Besides, one thing about the NDP fireworks is that as spectacular they are, they aren’t really different

Olympus E-P1

Posted on 18 Jun 2009   by CY

One thing that occurred to me while I was at Thomson Medical Center the other week waiting for Hannah to pop was how much easier it was to take pictures on the move while balancing the HD digicam using the

One year later

Posted on 26 Apr 200914 Jan 2010   by CY

Time flies! It’s been just over a year since I bought the D300, and I thought it’d be fun to do a short post on what’s happened to it over the first year I’ve owned and used it.:) Cost $2,450
