Insects
|
|
I went to the Botanical Gardens today not to capture flowers but to capture insects instead. It was a scorching hot day today!! Stayed there for about 2 hours with my 2 buddies before setting off. Tired! Here's the outcome. I'm not too satisfied with it but I tried! Thanks to the 28-135mm lens.

Macro Photography
|
|
Got these pics from City Hall. I suck at my macros.. Just trying my luck here.  It's a little unlike me to capture flowers but I was rather on for it today.

Fashion Photography
|
|
Today is the last day of my photography module.  So sad! But well, the topic for today is 'Fashion'. I enjoyed the outdoor photoshoot even though it was a hot day today!

Studio Photography - Portraits
|
|
I just realised I've gone away for a month from posting my pictures here. Been really busy and haven't had a bit of time to capture great pics. But nevertheless, here are some pictures of me and my team on our photography lesson yesterday. The topic was on 'Studio People' and we decided to come out with the theme 'Emotions'. We set up our own lighting and we became each other's model. Below are our best shots.

2 Years
|
|
Today marks the 2nd year since the devastating Tsunami hit regions in Asia! Quarter of million have cherished. Hundreds of thousand left homeless and lost their loved ones. Well, one such country that was badly hit by the Tsunami is Sri Lanka. Last year, I was given an opportunity of a lifetime to go on a trip to the southern coast of the beautiful Island of Pearl which was destroyed by the natural disaster. It was an eye opening trip. I stayed there for 2 weeks in September 2005. Here are some photos from my trip to Sri Lanka which I would like to share.
This is the hotel which was the worst-hit in Sri Lanka. 9 months later after reconstruction, it looked so tip top! 5 star hotel, what more do you expect..  Anyway, I didn't reside here. I was there to do some charity work.
That was my team(Republicanoz) and the Chief Village's family. It was our second last day there and the village chief invited us over to his house(which was not badly destroyed by the Tsunami) for lunch. We had Sri Lankan delicacies.
This is the temporary housing for the Tsunami victims.
These kids are made homeless as their houses were destroyed by the waves. They're living in hostels with their 'new' family. They were amazing! I looked forward to see them each day while I was there.
This is where I reside. My team rented a house in this neighbourhood and it's where we spend our time for two whole enchanting weeks.

Insects
|
|
This is an area where I really suck at - Insects! They're simply too fast and I always had difficulties trying to get a good shot of them. These pictures below are some lucky shots of an unknown insect and a dragonfly. I found the unknown fly landing on a car so I quickly snap it from a distance before it flies away. I used a 28-135mm lens for that. As for the dragonfly, I found it on the wall outside my house. I think it's a cool looking dragonfly so I quickly went into the house and grab my camera. I'm afraid I might scare it away so I was really far from the insect. I was quite in a daze when I capture it as the sun is still rising while I capture that.

It is a perfect medium for one whose mind is teeming with ideas, imagery, for a prolific worker who would be slowed down by painting or sculpting, for one who sees quickly and acts decisively, accurately.' - Edward Weston |

This is my elder sister Farah. Love you heaps sis.. 
| Quote: | | 'If photography is allowed to stand in for art in some of its functions it will soon supplant or corrupt it completely thanks to the natural support it will find in the stupidity of the multitude. It must return to its real task, which is to be the servant of the sciences and the arts, but the very humble servant, like printing and shorthand which have neither created nor supplanted literature.' - Charles Baudelaire |

Network Security Investigation
|
|
On Monday and Tuesday, my school conducted this NSI event for secondary school students. I have no idea what they the participants were supposed to do there but my job is to snap them in action. It was a seriously boring event for me because the responses from the participating schools ain't that overwhelming. Doesn't even look like a big event though. My mates and I were slacking half the time when we're there whereas we actually have to go round taking pictures of the event. But nevertheless, the second day of the event was more fruitful compared to the first day.
