Tanah Lot Sunset
The highlight of the first day with Dewa Marco, a driver I’ve decided to coin as “The Best Driver in Bali”, was our sunset visit to Tanah Lot. This temple sits on a rock formation and is set some distance

The Place
The flight was pretty pleasant and smooth, and we arrived at Tepi Sawah Villa at 5 pm on Saturday afternoon after weaving in and out of Bali traffic for nearly an hour. Our suite, Pedang Villa, pales a little in
Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag
I started creating the Excel spreadsheet for my packing list to Bali several months ago. Yep, it’s still that Excel spreadsheet fetish I’ve got. Funnily, that fetish has rubbed off on Ling too. These days whenever she makes an overseas
Rain and Fire
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
Fireworks Festival 2008
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
People Mountain People Sea
As enjoyable as the fireworks shoot yesterday was, the overall event itself was at moments exasperating, and at all times sweaty. I started looking through good sites for the NDP fireworks shoot a fortnight ago. The open field at Raffles
Happy Birthday Singapore!

That’s about the amount of luggage I was hauling around this afternoon. How’s that figure? Well: Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 tripod + 488RC2 ballhead ~ 2 kg D300 ~ 0.9 kg Sigma 150mm macro ~0.8 kg Sigma 10-20mm ~0.7 kg SB-600 with
Bye Bye KM5D
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
Tak chek time
That quite literally means “Study books time”.:) But seriously, the last two of three books I’ve put on my photography reading list finally arrived from Amazon.com several days ago. I’ve ordered stuff from Amazon.com before, and they’ve typically arrived in
Onion layers
Having picked up a used 50mm f1.8 prime lens for cheap from my colleague and also resurrected my 20 year old 70-210mm lens, the last lens to finish up the series was to be a macro lens. I haven’t got
Dust bunnies
It was a matter of time before dust finally get into and settled on the sensor, especially now that I spend so much of my free time at home playing around with the D300 and the six lenses for it.
