Long long long gap since my last post. Its like nearly half a year since I posted. Anyway, in between that long gap, I managed to get myself the Sony Alpha 200 as my first DSLR. Quite amazing I got to say, its like only 4 months since I got myself a decent camera before I finally got the Alpha. From my initial plan of getting the K850i till the ownership of the A200. Wow.

Since then, I have been to a couple of outings with my fellow Alpha brothers from Alphadslr forums
and from them picked up tips, tricks of course, enjoyable hours of photography with them. Firstly was the Formula Drift Singapore, and what a hot event it was. And I do mean hot, went home sun burnt but at least met up with most of the brothers from the Alphadslr. Though did not stay till the end of the event, but the time spent there was already worth while. Some pictures taken during the event.







Yes, the whole group of Sony Alpha mount photographers.



Since then been going around randomly taking photos during off days. Also learnt how to post process the photos in Photoshop and much later on, Lightroom.

Happy Lunar New Year minna-san! ! ! May you readers have an enjoyable holidays ahead and happy ang bao gathering! ! !

For the first time, I tried something different for this CNY countdown Instead of staying put @ home, I went down to Marina for the fireworks display. Goodness me, surrounding me was not the usual masses of avid shutter-bugs with their DSLRs, instead it was hordes of foreign workers, mostly from China. Goodness me, either they ARE dumb or loose screws, messing around even though they are just 1 mis-step away from dropping into the dark waters beneath. And of course, so the 'considerate' to those shutter-bugs by moving around like monkeys, blocking the views or even coming down to knocking down the tripods. Damned, I know that being the CNY, I shouldn't be saying all these, but ZzZ, I can't keep it shut, so just vent it out here. . .anyway, still manage to grab quite a couple of shots during the display. Yes, I DO really need a DSLR, though my T20 is doing fine this early morning, but the difference is quite obvious la, since the T20 is just a point & shoot as compared to the complex DSLR. Also taken some night shots of the surroundings before the display began. . .
