Focus Fine-tuning
One of my relatively unused lenses is a 50mm f1.8 that I bought for cheap off an ex-colleague some years ago. The lens is a little on the long side for a crop sensor body like my old D300 and
Photographic Humor
Saw this posted up on Clubsnap, a local photography enthusiast site: Gave me a laugh.=) As an aside; Ling’s not been blogging because she’s been super-duper busy with her new teaching position! I’ll prod her to post something soon though.
Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 – Center Sharpness
Post that’s only for Matt and the student-stalker.=) Here’s a bunch of haphazardly-taken pictures during lunch time of construction work from some distance away. Source image as follows: The below are 100% crops, with the vehicle’s plate number as my
Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8
I’ve blogged about the 70-200mm f2.8 lens range several times now on this blog and how this lens type is considered a staple for any serious photography enthusiast. The original party manufacturers manufacture these very complex lens to high specifications,

Weekends and 35mm
More 35mm pictures! The first two were taken at f1.8, and other two at f3.5 – and the latter showed noticeable difference in center sharpness, a bit of camera shake in the first picture notwithstanding. I’m eyeing the Sigma 70-200mm
Bubblewrap!
Hannah’s newest weekend morning activity.=) Ling has been sleeping late for the last several evenings preparing teaching materials/marking/setting test-papers. So for this weekend at least, it’s fallen back to daddy to keep Hannah occupied when she wakes up and let

Drawing and 35mm
Hannah now alternates between the Water game and a free(!) drawing program I picked up a week ago. One would think she’ll still be more interested in the game, but funnily, when I asked her last night what she’ll prefer,
The Next Generation
Overheard during our Day 2 Chinese New Year dinner at Lentor. Jonathan – one of my nephews – staggered into the house real tired as he had a long day. His cousin, Isaac, quips: “Tired?” “Yea…” Jonathan mutters “I know
