Reflection

I'm lucky to get this shot, Elton, Jessie, Wifey and myself are heading back to Alan's place, we tried to go around the town in a Bus in Auckland, but one thing we didnt know is the walk back to Alan's place a quite a walk...

While everyone happily rushed back so that we can have dinner together, I spotted a puddle of water from far, Initially I approached it because I wanted to take some reflection of the buildings from the water, but surprisingly Birdie here flew on top od the puddle of water to check on hairdo, or featherdo.

With my equipment already on standby, I approached slowly and take the shot.

One good lesson learned if you are in a shooting mood, always have your camera on standby

Announcements :)

Do you remember the post I did on a Sampan? I know it's not good to brag around, but I felt too honored when Canon EOS Asia drop me a note in Facebook .. (ego booster)

The Image is selected (1 of the 5 so far...) to feature in their Community Photo for July. I know it's nothing to congratulate me about, but this is one hell of an encouragement! Check it out at the link below!

Lonely Winter's day

This is one of the last few shots I manage to take in Auckland before the end of my holiday :(, Alan and Elaine together with the 2 little monster Emily and Jimmy (although i call them monster but then again they are really nice kids)

But being me, I cant resists calling people monsters... learned this from my teacher... haha

This is one of my favorite shot, although I think the composition could be better, but the feeling is there in this photo, it brings out the feeling of a Silent Lonely Winter's Day feeling... so I thought that you might like this :)

I See a Sea

I took this shot when I went to NZ for my honeymoon. As I am quite interested to see the photo quality of the Tamron 24-70 so I went ahead and rented and boy .. it sure is heavy

But the quality of the photo is not too shabby dont you think?

True Blue, I Like !

I never understand what the heck is so beautiful about true blue (I was either sleeping or getting ready to party at these time) plus the Lighting is not Enough, Shutter speed is slow and the thing that I hate most USING A BLOODY TRIPOD!

But then, since Francis is here, I might as well try to learm abit more from him, so We happily sneaked up to the top floor of a parking lot and waited, and the worst thing in is, we cant smoke in the building. while I was patiently waiting, I was also impatiently waiting for us to finish so that I can go and smoke (bad habits) ! But as the evening gets darker the lights gets more visible and then finally I understand why Francis is happily waiting with his tripod and shutter release... for a priceless shot.

Call me COLOURFUL !

When I was about to leave the shooting ground, this young couple was just riding their bike in front of me. Francis and David were packing their gear while I was literately running towards the young couple with my DSLR trying to hide my presence like a ninja !

I wanna look FIT

After the lovely couple, within 5 seconds there was another lady who jogged in front of me, and again i took another shot, since I have comfortably say on the floor (getting lazy nowadays). Not too bad of a photo as it turns out to be.
