San Francisco Videos – Golden Gate Bridge

Posted on 12 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY

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

More Hannah photos

Posted on 9 Aug 2009   by CY

We didn’t watch NDP on the TV – Hannah wanted her dinner. So I occupied myself taking more pictures – but this time with the Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens. This is the cheapest lens in Nikon’s line up, but is

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

Posted on 7 Aug 2009   by CY

Posted on 6 Aug 20095 Apr 2010   by CY
