Macro photography is hard and requires a lot of practice for one to be any good in it. I’ve over the years dabbled occasionally in it, including the one-stop flower macro photography spot in Singapore i.e. National Orchid Garden @
The ‘mysterious’ camera strap I wrote briefly about a month ago here arrived not too long after that post, and I’ve been putting it through the paces since. The strap is from Joby, the California-based company that is perhaps better
The third – and probably last post on our Minton renovation one year on – unless there are more things to say later in the years to come! Previous post here. Children’s Bedroom double-beds: this was one of the key

Continuing on a widely spaced thread on our Minton home, post-renovation one year on. The last post in the series is here. If there is any one aspect of our home renovation that has not worked well, it’s been our
I did a check on the last time I wrote on sling-type camera straps and realized that it’s been more than 3 years since I last wrote one such, even though these sling straps are a much-needed improvement over the
Most of my Nikon gear got sold off last year, leaving behind only the Sigma 18-250mm – fond memories of carting that all in one focal length wonder through several staycations, Japan, Boston, and Hannah’s first years – whose AF
My first impressions of the E-M1 against the E-M5 after several days of use! The E-M1’s overall ergonomics and handling surpasses the E-M5, easily. The handgrip makes it easier to balance the camera’s weight against mid-length zooms, and the two
