Tulips!

3 May 2007

I love bright colours, and hence flowers (especially tulips) are one of my favourite photography subjects.

It was great to be back at Keukenhof again, this time armed with a DSLR instead of a 35mm film camera, even though I was still fairly inexperienced with the DSLR.
















More photos of tulips here.

Snow!

8 February 2007

Taken with my new Canon EOS 30D camera.

It snowed heavily that day and I made full use of the opportunity to take some shots at Hyde Park in the freezing condition.

Sydney

13 July 2006

Sydney Opera House is probably the most iconic building in Australia. However, a close look revealed that it is quite old and not as nice as seen from postcards, TV, etc.





Darling harbour is so beautiful at sunset.



Sydney Harbour Bridge, yet another iconic structure in Australia.

Price of War

9 July 2006

This photo is perhaps a good reminder to the sorrows of war. Unfortunately, humanity hasn't seem to learn to avoid wars... perhaps will never will.

Taken in the War Museum in Canberra.

R.I.P. - My Canon Powershot S2 IS

I found out that my favourite P&S camera has turned blind upon Johanna and my arrival in Amsterdam for our holiday trip on 3rd May.

Based on my internet searches, most likely the CCD is gone as many similar problems have been reported on this model.

I've approached a repair shop in Tottenham Court Road few days ago to find out what is wrong with the camera. My worst fear was confirmed - damaged CCD. The repair will cost £110, which is not worth repairing in my opinion.

It's quite sad considering that this camera is less than 2 years old. I'll definitely miss the 12x optical zoom.

From now onwards, my Canon EOS 30D will get my full attention.

FRIM trip

20 May 2006

Johanna & I had a photo outing at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) with Ozzy. It was my first time at FRIM despite having the intention to visit the place for many years.

What a great place to get in touch with nature, and of course, for photography.

Lotus

29 April 2006

This photo was taken outside a small restaurant in Haadyai. There are plenty of lotuses planted along the streets of Haadyai.
