And Now For Some Durian Macaroons

So, I tried my hand a having a decent presentable food photo. Some of our FB friends will have their saliva flowing with food photos. I took a bit of effort to move outside since the sky is over cast and there wasn't decent lighting inside.With decent light, it is easier to get a nicer picture.

The above is homemade durian filled macaroon is taken in natural light at f/10, 1/50sec handheld, 50mm lens.

Standing Still In The Face Of A Storm

Do you need to stand in the face of opposition? All of us do eventually.
Remember, this too will pass

Crossing the Big Blue Sky

Blues skies like the one in the picture are quite rare in Kuala Lumpur. I dropped what I was doing when I noticed the amazing sky and took a few shots of the orchid.

I was inspired with the 15mm DA Limited ultra wide earlier and took the following with the 18 55mm kit lens. The 15mm is still on my "should I get it or not" list.




With most lenses even average one, by f/8, everything start to look good. If you don't have money for expensive lenses, what you need is good light. So that you can shoot at apertures that mask weaknesses of your lenses.

Shy Dog

There are times when I feel shy. Shy to shoot people. Shy to get the type of "in your face photo". Shy to constantly hold the camera waiting for the right moment to shoot.

With dogs, it is different. As long as they don't run away or take a bite on your leg while you are busy with manual focus & exposure.

Taken with a 135 mm manual focus lens. Focus is a tiny bit off at 100% crop but on the small screen, its okay.

Time's Up

In life, there are moments that you cannot choose when to stop or when to start. It all happens. You are just a passenger, not the driver.
