Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Our fifth day in Bali was mostly spent in photography subject-specific places; we started off in the early morning at the Botanic Gardens in Ubud for macro flower photography, then continued onto the Bird Park for animal photography, then the
The funny thing is that I’m far more likely to remember the tropical rain from yesterday than all the pyrotechnics that followed thereafter during yesterday’s shoot at the Singapore Fireworks Festival.:) Ann’s students recced the area over the several days
We braved the rainy weather and all for the 2008 Fireworks Festival this afternoon, this time with Ann from our church group too. And boy, do we have stories to tell. Ling is completely spaced out though and can barely
Here’s one of the most amazing panoramic shots I’ve seen… like ever! Someone created a 360 degree view of the Beijing Olympics stadium just before the 100m finals: Link right here.:) Use the SHIFT, CTRL, and hold-mouse to zoom in
One of the things that Ling was a little sad about during our Singapore Botanic Gardens flowers shoot a few Sundays ago was that she didn’t have her own camera to take pictures with. We’ve had several compact digicams now

The first digital camera I owned was a Canon S10, a compact camera I picked up in 1999 at a crazily expensive cost of $1.5K (ouch). That was followed by a better prouser digicam, the Minolta DiMAGE 7 in 2002
The SOC was the most ‘feared’ activity when I was doing my national service 18 years ago. In fact, I was so terrifically bad at the course during boot camp that I failed the course each practice run (and got
If this following entry offends, I apologize. It’s really intended to be a humorous take on the sort of things we’ve only up till this point seen on animal documentaries. Specifically, and depending on your point of view, the both
