photo walk day 1


Me and my girl had a photo walk last Sunday. It was a long walk in a sunny afternoon. For those who are already been here in Singapore, we walked from Chinatown / Clarke Quay then passing through Fort Canning Park and ended up at the other side of the hill near City Hall station.

Here is the photo that I like. Simple yet colorful. It's like a combination of the old and the new. I took this at Clarke Quay. It's an area where the old buildings were converted to restaurants/bars so the area is alive every night filled by tourist from everywhere. The ETFE canopy gave the photo a "new" look. It's a nice place to go here in Singapore.

Some of the photos are uploaded in my flickr account.

Lightroom tweeks

Right after my officemate introduced lightroom to me as a photo editor software, I started to view some tutorials online. Lightroom is almost the same with photoshop but with some features that are friendly to some photographers.

Here are some images that I took in Singapore Bird Park.

I used my 18-55mm lens just to have a sharper output. (because as I see it, the 18-55 lens is sharper than my 18-105 lens). I managed to have less noise on the first image.

The background landscape of the second image looks dull at first, after some lightroom tweeks, I was satisfied of the outcome.

My Gear

I created this blog mainly for personal reason only - I just want to see my progress. Of course I also want to know what others might say about my photos. In short, I'm trying to learn technically everything from everyone =)

I bought my dslr camera a few months back, and since I am new at this so-called "hobby"- I'm still trying to learn most of the techniques using my camera.



These are my gear so far:

Nikon D 90
Nikkor 18-55mm f.3.5 VR
Nikkor 18-105mm f3.5 VR
Nikkor 50mm f1.8


I'm planning to buy a dedicated flash, cheap extension tubes just to try a little bit of macro photos and a wide angle lens next time if I have an extra budget. =)
