From the Henderson Wave, walk along the path at Telok Blangah Hill, through the Forest Walk and finally at HortPark.

Good that my wife was with me. She has a sharp eye for small details. She spotted these interesting subjects and I shot them.

Great to see some interesting animals in the wild and nature environment.

Tiger Photos

The Chinese Year of the Tiger is approaching. I recalled that, I had taken some Tiger photos sometime in 2007 when I was on a working trip to South Africa. These Tigers were not from South Africa, but from India.

Street of Mongkok on a Saturday Afternoon

I was strolling along the busy street of Mongkok on a Saturday Afternoon about 2 months ago. The street was full of vibrancy. This was very youth street. There are many young people in different attire giving our flyers promoting business. And I can find many, many photographers with their heavy equipment showing the streets, the crowds, and the young beautiful girls :-). I, too, took out my camera and snapped many pictures. When I was leaving the place, I saw two ambulances rushing across. Later, then I read the news on the acid throwing incident. Wow, I was fortunate that I was not one of the victims.

I was quite late. I managed to find a spot at Chinatown Complex carpark, where I can park my tripod.

I was a bit disappointed by the timing sequence. Just before fire cracker was finished, they started the fireworks. It was so much smoke that the fireworks was hardly visible.

Anyway, I still managed to capture some shots.

The firecrackers in position, just before the countdown.

The firecrackers going off. I think I put too long of exposure. Look like burning.

A shot of Fireworks. - f/11.0, 2 sec ISO 100 (bulb mode)

A Shot of the fireworks - f/8.0, 2sec, ISO 100, Bulb Mode

Just after the countdown. Look at the crowd!!!!

Another shot of the crowd

At idea came to me as I open my eyes. Why not, I set my lens to manual mode, switch on the flash, set the shutter speed to be very fast and shoot at the rain? Maybe I could get some shots of the rain drops.

I quickly got out of the bed and tried it out.

100mm, 1/200s, f/2.8 ISO 400

Shooting straight - 17mm, 1/200s, ISO 400

Shooting Downwards - 17mm, 1/200s, f/2.8, ISO 400

The effect look very snowy and artistic to me.

After the a few rounds, I concluded the following:

• It does not matter, if I set to manual or automatic focus. The best is the distance subject is in focus. It provides some form of background. Even if the subject is out of focus, it could be artistic in some form.
• I set the highest shutter speed. I don’t know why, when I switch on the flash unit, the camera only around 1/200s as fastest shutter speed. I think I need to read up on this.

I had some fun using my camera.
