Chinese Garden
03:38 PM on Saturday 08 March 2014
Woke up at 6am today to walk to Chinese Garden to take photos of the sun rise. Well I did manage to catch the sun rise but there was a lack of interesting clouds resulting in a very plain looking sky.
Moon
09:24 PM on Thursday 06 March 2014
Another attempt at taking photos of the moon using the 75-300. It is really quite difficult to achieve accurate focus even with a tripod as any slight movement results in a major shift in the image due to the extreme focal length. The craters are clearly visible but not as sharp as I would like them ...
Kids at the playground

The family took the opportunity on Sunday to walk to the coffee shop for breakfast. Along the way, we stopped by the playground where the kids had a good time at the playground.
Photos near Biopolis
10:25 PM on Saturday 01 March 2014
While Esther had her art class at Fusionopolis, I took the opportunity to walk around and take some photos using the EM1 and the 12-40. I particularly like the wider part of the lens for this.
Post-processing
12:39 PM on Sunday 23 February 2014
Had a bit of fun with Perfect Photo Suite 8 and Lightroom to create a more artistic looking image of a shot done at East Coast Park. Here is the final results of the processing. I like the final results as it gave the original image more character, like an old deserted spooky place. The colours are ...
Wooden dinosaur
12:41 PM on Saturday 22 February 2014
Esther and I built a wooden dinosaur using a kit that Pauline brought. The kit was rather well made and we had a good time making it. The dinosaur has motors and sensors on it so it could respond to commands given using an IR remote. The following is the final dinosaur in all its glory. http://youtu ...
Smiley on cup handle
09:53 PM on Sunday 16 February 2014
Esther with her sharp eyes spotted a smiley face on the cup handle.
Abstract lights
09:20 PM on Sunday 16 February 2014
While at the prawning place, Esther and I had a play with some long exposures on LED lights that were decorating the place. It is quite amazing that some simple LED lights on the tree below can turn into something so abstract. We set the shutter speed to about 1 sec and the aperture of f11 to create ...
Prawning
09:09 PM on Sunday 16 February 2014
We spent the afternoon at a prawning place next to the Jurong Bird Park. Everyone had a good time catching prawns. Ednalin and Ernest were rather good catching a couple of prawns each. There was fishing in the evening where one can get a rod for $5 and attempt to catch some fish. It was rather excit ...
Valentines's day
02:29 PM on Friday 14 February 2014
I got roses for Pauline this Valentine's day. Guess what she got me? An Olympus EM1. Super happy with that. Made my gift look so lame.
