Happy Birthday 1st Birthday to alphadslr.com!

Finally back here to post again. What happened in between the weeks from the last post? Nothing but more and more shoots. So far already went for 3 TFCDs, and though still in the learning curve, but I'm enjoying every single second of these shoots. From each shoot that I been to, always there are new things to learn. Be it camera settings, model posing, somehow its a brand new experience to me. With September to come, there are more shoots to come, new things to learn.

Last Saturday was the 1st birthday of the Alpha mount user group in here in Singapore. Despite the very spoiler of a weather, but everyone still enjoyed the celebration. From photo hunt, cake-cutting, special talk by Stanley from SLCC on flash photography and also Wilson from Sony for 'helping' to further poison us by letting alphadslr.com members to have first hand try on the new flagship flash. Yes, I mean it, where's the MO for the flash?

With Comex approaching, gearing up to push for sales during the 4 days for Buffalo. Yes, looking for external storage or network solutions, do approach me in any of the 4 days and I will do my best to provide with the best solution possible within my means.

Sign off for now, do look up for more photos as I aim to finish up the TFCDs before September or else its a never ending work for me. . .

Tired. . .

Already starting of August 2008, time really flies. What a week so far, started with Garden Festival on last Sunday, went back there again for my first TFCD in the same venue with 2 gorgeous ladies. Then concluded by a ride on the Singapore Flyer on Saturday night courtesy of bro Tan KM. Not to mention the number of photos also piled up as well, still haven't done with the TFCD photos, while just finished the shots taken on Saturday night. With NDP coming soon, gonna find someone to cover my NDP weekend shift and enjoy the 2 days snapping all day long. . .

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. . .
