Bed-Time

Posted on 26 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Given the heat in recent days, we’ve been trying to give Hannah a second bath each evening before the last feed of the day. This will usually be at about 8 pm. Ling bathes Hannah, and I do all the

Another Blurb

Posted on 23 Feb 201013 Mar 2010   by CY

Writing and preparing yet another Blurb book has become a regular ritual for me. As soon as I finished Book III of the series of Vita Una books last September, I began work on Book IV: The initial plan for

Photography = Chaos

Posted on 21 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Comical situations occasionally come up at home. Just 30 minutes ago, Hannah was sleeping and I was working on the PC when Ling came into the workroom and said in hushed tone: “Dear, want to take pictures of Hannah? She’s

Hannah @ Play

Posted on 21 Feb 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah was in one of her usual wailing moods mid-afternoon yesterday. Ling was preparing her solids feed, so it fell to me to have to ‘entertain’ and quieten her just so that the entire block of Rivervale residents don’t come

CPL + GND stack

Posted on 19 Feb 201013 Mar 2010   by CY

I was remarking to Matt over MSN the other afternoon that of the lot of lens filters I’ve got, the GND – graduated neutral density – one hardly ever gets used. The filter is a bit of a last resort

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

If there’s one thing I miss on portrait lenses, it’s optical stabilization in low light situations typical of a restaurant. These were taken (badly) this morning during a brunch at Swensens @ Compass Point, and if you’ve been there for

Baby Faces at 50mm – Part 2

Posted on 1 Feb 20101 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

Danger…danger…

Posted on 31 Jan 20105 Apr 2010   by CY

Hannah was found reaching for the guard railings of her cot after her bath over the weekend! Though you can see that her fingers are grasping the railings very tightly so that she can support her weight, it’s still pretty

Must. Resist. Temptation.

Posted on 31 Jan 201031 Jan 2010   by CY

With Matt coming to stay with us again next month in his third visit to Singapore, we’ve been chatting a lot about camera gear and equipment. He’s picked up a Nikon D90 and the 35mm f1.8 lens for this trip.
