Posted on 29 Sep 20143 Apr 2018   by CY

I’ve been using m4/3 cameras for more than 4 years now, and was running through my records the various camera bodies of this system I’ve picked up over the period. March 2010 – Olympus E-PL1 April 2011 – Olympus E-PL2

Hannah @ 50mm – Part 2

Posted on 2 Apr 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The 35mm f1.8D was taken out for a spin last weekend. This weekend, it was the 50mm f1.8D’s turn. I shot a whole bunch of pictures of Hannah wide-open, and as before, at f1.8 pictures were a little soft. Sigh.

Punggol Waterway

Posted on 11 Feb 201225 Feb 2017   by CY

The Punggol Waterway is a pretty easy spot to find for us, since we’ve driven past it before when on our way to Hannah’s nursery school. The place was officially opened on 23 Oct last  year, and features a roughly

OK; it’s official. I have to squint real hard if I want to read the viewfinder’s information display now. !@#!@#! We’re gonna be heading out later in the afternoon to check out the new Punggol waterfront area that our friends

Mommy & Daughter

Posted on 7 Feb 20107 Feb 2010   by CY

Last month I wrote an entry reporting that while Hannah’s all me in mannerisms and general looks, her eyes take after Ling’s. Well, here’s proof – got Hannah to pose with Mommy, with Ling making her laugh.:) Looks like Hannah

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 3

Posted on 6 Feb 2010   by CY

These next were taken at the level four Kopitiam at Hougang Mall with warm lighting in the food court. Had to adjust tint levels and temperature, and even then the results still look a little off.

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 1

Posted on 31 Jan 20101 Feb 2010   by CY

My first Nikon lens from 1985 was a 50mm f1.8. As those of us who’re amateurs in photography would know, this 50mm focal length lens is especially appropriate for portrait shots. While I did pick up my first zoom lens
