It has been more than a decade since my last visit to these local attractions. As a local boy there, there is no reason walking into temples and caves once every week like a shopping mall unless I have a reason to. This holiday, I had one; showing my girlfriend around especially Sam Poh Tong [...]

Another experiment on the timelapse and the photoshoot was done at my colleague’s kitchen. This time, it’s rendered under 24 frames per second hence the motion is smoother.
Post production for the photos are edited in Adobe Photoshop CS4 under video mode. I didn’t have Adobe Premiere but the Photoshop CS4 seems to support timelapse and [...]

I’m going to take a short break in the mid December for two weeks. It’s the time of the season to relax, visit family and get together with mate. While I’m at it, I’ve been invited to attend two weddings of my school/college chums. And that’s not all; I was requested to be their photographer of the day [...]

I’ve seen a fair few of branding on eggs but during my photoshoot at a commercial kitchen last week, I found some with a happy face on it. After staring at the adorable smiling oval little fella, you don’t feel like breaking them up huh?
P.S Of course the chef we worked with didn’t share the same sentiment and [...]

Another experiment for the day.  And today’s experiment is  a 360 degrees panoramic view of my office with my mobile phone. I was thinking to use this idea as a template material for my organisation’s upcoming content development. Or perhaps a virtual tour video.

I used my Samsung Galaxy S2 camera and took a 360 degrees of snapshots [...]

I went to Mornington Peninsula for a holiday last weekend with an old Scoopon voucher that I purchased last year. The short trip was  good; calm weather and pretty sunny day. I also had a chance to experiment around with some panoramic shots there. The weather was a little gloomy so the shots didn’t really [...]

I was lucky to have a photoshoot offsite and to continue my experiments with timelapse. This time it’s a commercial kitchen.
This is also my first time mucking around with panning a timelapse shot. It was awful; my timing is so off and my cheapo tripod is clunky hence the not-so-smooth panning.

My second attempt on timelapse

Ah this is what I need! Street photography guide for cowards [Link]

Inspired from the street photography videos (this and this), I wanted to try it out myself. So on a sunny Saturday, I headed for a Mid-Autumn Festival at Box Hill to give it a go.
I think I am too timid to take the shots head on and I wasn’t too invasive  enough (not that I [...]

Had a offsite photoshoot till 10pm yesterday. When you get too tired of it, you’d start thinking something else besides work.
FPS gamer + photography + tiring day = pyscho mode

…because I get to eat the cooked food and keep the rest! Muahaha
Well, at the same I learnt some cooking skills (and secrets!) from the chefs

Taking stock photos is part of my job and sometimes it is fun. This time it’s an offsite photoshoot in a kitchen, courtesy of a colleague of mine. While my team is preparing themselves with the recipes and procedures, I took some shots of Raz, my colleague’s quiet pet dog, which is obviously patiently waiting for free treats [...]

(Pardon my shot. My Motorola Milestone camera is not something worthy to brag about)
It’s pretty frustrating especially for a newbie like me who do not know how to judge a picture preview via the camera LCD or reading the histogram. So I always ended up realising of bad photo capturing only when I got home, [...]

My first attempt to make a timelapse video; A simple 2 hours 30-second interval shots from an office window.

Made a few mistakes when I was making this time lapse. Firstly, I forgot to turn my white balance auto mode off. Secondly, I didn’t check where the sun is coming hence I had to stop when [...]
