A moment between KaiQi and her mum.
Sometimes, moments like this happen in a split second. I like such moments. They are not obvious and are open to interpretation.

i feel it, but i have no words for it.
Father of the Bride Gives her Hand in Marriage. Although in this case, the hand does not belong to the father. But I found the picture conveyed the same meaning with the reflection of the bride’s father. I like both their expressions as well.
Last night, my tire ran flat and while struggling with the change (the last time I did it was 9 years ago), an Indian national came to my rescue and managed to finish the job in 10 mins. A helping hand in times of need. Can’t tell you how grateful I was. Just want to blog about this so I will remember it. Thank you Muruk.
A juvenile frogfish. We picked up the wrapper next to it and used it as a background. The idea came about when I took a picture of a Pedaflap and it had a wrapper right beside it. I thought it would be a nice message. The frogfish was untouched.
If you dive, you will be able to relate to this (especially if you do a fair bit of muck diving) and probably identify the orange juvenile frogfish. This scene is more common than we think. Awhile ago, I was reading up on the Pacific garbage patch and I think if we see what is underneath the surface, the patch is closer than we think.
One of my favorite parts of the wedding is when the behind the scenes where people get ready for the event. You can feel the atmosphere building up and generally people going through a range of emotions. I love this one from Lijing and Debra’s wedding.
I love traveling. But I love my home too. Every homecoming from a trip always evoke a feeling of anticipation and sense of belonging. I look forward to doing up the laundry, cleaning up the house, replying emails (not all, but most) and just the feeling of coming back into the arms of someone familiar. Feeling energized and inspired after the trip, so let the work begin:)
Here’s a shot I really like from Benny and Ginny’s wedding.
This is my 3rd post on Milky Way seen from Singapore. Two days after my first attempt, I went back to the same location again to get a more accurate framing of milky way. I did some research online and made sure I read the constellation correctly as they are the only indicators of where I will be shooting. It was an extremely clear night except we were half way into full moon phase but surprisingly that did not cause too much problems. This time round I spent more time reading the stars (literally) and aligning my shot. This is the final shot after applying some trial and error photoshop magic. Taken with a single exposure. Pretty pleased with the result and probably will make a print when I’m back from my trip.
Well, I caught part of it:D
After a good morning’s sleep, I spent some time working on the images I took last night and managed to pull out the details of the milky way. I managed to capture the tail of Scorpius but I think I just caught the brightest bit of the Milky way at the edge there. Now that I understand a little more about the constellation, the next shoot should yield better results. So it’s proven, it is definitely possible to shoot the Milky Way in light polluted Singapore. The place I was at was not exactly super dark either. Many thanks to the photographers who did this before me that inspired my late night search for… milk:)
About this image, it was shot in a single exposure with 3 frames stitched together for a wider angle.
