I’m no apple fangirl. Of course, you can take such pictures with any android or smartphones. But look at what Lee Morris has done. Amazing work! All you need are a gorgeous model, a group of hair/makeup artist, a good knowledge of your lighting and really mad editing/retouching skills to get such photos. 

And I’m not saying that all photographers should use their iphone for their assignment. It’s ridiculous isn’t it? Your client paid so much for you to use your iphone to take his/her wedding?

But that’s NOT the point of this post.

 “So before I say anything else let me start by saying; I created this video to simply show that you should not be limited by your camera. Obviously there was a lot that went into this shoot including a professional model, hair and makeup, a studio, lighting, and a retoucher. We may create another video in the future where we shoot with only natural light but this video is simply about the camera. There are so many photographers who are obsessed with noise, sharpness, color, dynamic range, megapixels, chromatic aberration, moire, distortion, etc. So many photographers get wrapped up in the technical side that they forget how to take compelling images. This video is for them.”

Spinner 360° reminds me of the horizon panocam which I used to have back in my schooldays. But this does not take a panoramic photo. Instead the camera will spin 360° around its own axis and snaps a picture at the same time. Cool, isnt it?! But like the reason why I sold my Horizon panocam, I can’t afford to have this because it’s using film and developing film is NOT cheap. But it’s still cheaper than a Horizon (which cost me S$450 back then btw).

I can’t resist taking a macro at the zoo…heh.

The funny thing was Aisyah didnt seem to be excited but her Ibu (thats me!) was superduper excited. The last time I visited the zoo was when I was single and that was like 7-8yrs back. At that time, I was into shooting wildlife and the next best thing to do that is at our Singapore Zoo.

More pictures from this set.

Unfortunately i didnt take much pictures this time because I had to concentrate more on the girls lest they might wander off into the gorilla’s cage…*gulp!*. And the husband would be complaining if I took too much time taking pictures…hehe. I didn’t bring my dslr with my lenses but I brought my trusty gxr although I wish it has a longer zoom. 50mm is just not enuff!

I don’t watch soccer but I get all excited when it’s worldcup time. I still remember how some of the animation students in my final year course managed to tweak the teevee (which was meant to show only their animation works) and got the worldcup channel. And it was FREE at that time! We cheered for our favourite teams when the match started. Of course, the team with the most number of handsome boys will get the loudest cheer amongst the girls. hurhur. I miss those days.

Yes, I have to resort to sneaking into the loo to do my errm, business. :p

Bishan MRT looks kinda surreal.

Paya Lebar MRT. Snapped this pix before I was approached by the staff and told not to take any pix.

As crazy as it sounds, I went to Paya Lebar just to get putupirings from the famous putupiring shop at Haig Road.

Putupiring!

Putu Piring is essentially the Malay version of Kueh Tutu. According to the friendly uncle at the stall, this dessert has its origins in India. The Malay version uses gula melaka for the filling and is served with grated coconut while the Chinese version (i.e. Kueh Tutu) contains grated coconut or peanut filling and is generally smaller in size.

Hmm, maybe this is a good time for me and family to have a family portrait. I want to be in the family album too!

A couple of pictures from my morning walk. I’m always drawn to the long morning shadows.

The twins…they have grown!

The guests.

I have to control myself frm stuffin myself with every single one of these while at work. I did take a break and tried most of it…like who can resist them anyway?! They’re calling out to me while I was taking detailed pictures of them. Oops, I think I talked too much about the food in this post. lol!
