Singapore in 2 hours

Re-discovering my love for non-wedding and non-diving photography. That’s pretty much where I started. Felt the need for lines, so I went to look for it when the heat in the house becomes a little unbearable. The weather moderator is on leave. It’s either raining mad or hot like oven. It’ll be nice to average out.

Bali shorts

Was around in Bali couple of months back for a short getaway. Good food, good rest, and took whatever came along. Here are some images from the trip.

A rainbow during a morning walk. The locals told me it’s a common sight. I thought it was a magical sight. Now I know they live in a magical land.

A temple at Ubud.

Feeding frenzy by the tourists.

Love this moment between the two.

Eat, Drink, Monkey.

They are everywhere. The moment  you put your hands into the bag, they’ll rush towards you, believing that you have something edible in your bags. Sometimes, you don’t even know where they came from. In this forest, your every move is watched.

The comic clouds.

Cactus on the rocks.

Apart.

I was pretty near the pot of gold. But someone got there before me!






Lembeh 2011 December

Dr Heng said, “you can go scuba diving now”.

A post lasik dive trip. Why not? I went through my calendar and found a 2 week break that fit nicely into my schedule, so I had them blocked and sent a couple of emails to my contact at Twofish Divers. This will be my fourth time there and my second this year. I’m a little like a whale on migration, always going back to the same area year after year.

Just over less than a year, so much has changed here. I was greeted by many new faces, who would after this trip, become familiar faces that I hope to see again soon. Their way of life intrigued me. It seems like the digital revolution hasn’t really hit them yet. Life revolves around family, the sea and music. Almost every night, they will be singing and playing their homemade instruments. Merry making till the last guests turn in at about 9pm. After which some of them will stay back to have a game of chess or watch english dubbed chinese kungfu movies. I didn’t seem to notice all these ongoings in my previous trips. I knew enjoying the experience is going to be of higher priority over photography this time.

I am happy I learned something new this trip. A change in approach and mentality.

Overall, it was a great trip. A trip that offered me more questions than answers. I am already looking forward to the next trip.

A panoramic attempt

I used to love taking panoramic pictures with my Canon S10 when I was traveling. The nice thing about compact cameras is that they do not suffer from parallex errors like DSLRs. I attempted a quick panorama today at the Marina Barrage and it didn’t turn out too badly. I wish I could’ve salvage the fountain at the bottom, but I guess not this time. Now I just need a spirit level for the tripod and hopefully it will stitch better.
