Happy Thots

Some thoughts have the ability to cause u to hold ur breath momentarily, heart to race unexplainably and make you smile from inside out :)

I'm glad to have music and such happy thoughts to occupy me when i'm doing the most mundane things :)

Happy weekend frens.

Seeing things differently

I've noticed that i've been taking pictures of the same kind of creatures because of their sheer ubiquity!

I'm qt ok with it cos i hope i'm getting better but i hope you're not getting too bored!



I like the bokeh of this one :)


It's interesting how the bug was caught in the moment it was abt to take flight.


This butterfly was at Day 1 of its adult life...Decided to process this old picture cos it made me wonder how the butterflies i saw are doing and whether they're still alive.

Affirmation

It's really true that i like words of affirmation :)

Nice Quote

I chance upon a nice quote today

路再长，必有峰回路转出；
夜再黑，已是接近天明时。
有星星长照的夜，
也有彩虹引人希望的明天。
最凶暴的雷雨过去得最快；
最严寒的冬天，
真是春天早临的讯号。

Happy Sunday frens :)

Young & Old

I just uploaded 2 other pictures taken at Ann's house last wk and i qt like the contrast of the size and age difference shown in the pics :)





It's also nice to mention that the family calls Ann 小安儿 affectionately:)

Family

I just heard that my Aunt's family will be moving to Australia. I'm quite sure i'll miss them a lot, especially Little Ann.

As a little present to the family, i took qt a bit of photos of them and i've procesed the photos and also burn the RAW files into a cd (in case they want to process into JPEG themselves) =)

Here's a few of my favourite to share!




"NAH! Your Phone Call!"



Ann's qt cute isnt she? :) I just realise the next time i see her, she would be so different!

Mini Project

I chance upon a few chrysalis on Monday and decided to bring one home.

Here's the set up, where the chrysalis hung silently for a few days.


I was hoping to capture the process when the butterfly emerge from the chrysalis, but it was already out when i woke up! How unfortunate!

(Photos by my good old Fujifilm compact)







I plan to bring this pretty little thing back to where i found it so it can find its friends and mate :)

While it's at home, it seems to be eating well! Check out the uncoiled proboscis.
Pardon the photo quality cos they were taken thru glass.)









I shall end with my favourite photo. The butterfly looks like it is trying to understand its own reflection. This was taken by wx with his macro attachment on my camera and lens :)



I love this project 'cos its like reliving my childhood fun of keeping bugs found in my grandma's garden.

And of cos, i was amazed by metamorphosis once again.

Good Day

I had a gd day today and had a small revelation that things that contribute to a gd day are often the small, simple things =)

Beauty Awaits

Words cant describe how much i'm looking forward to see the pretty one that will awake from its slumber :)

Strangely Varicella

I'm cutting holes on cellophane for a mini project. I must say it's kinda therapeutic :)

AH Butterfly Trail

I've been feeling antisocial of late, so i decided to drive to AH on my own after dropping my parents off at the Asian Civilisation Museum today.

Not exceptionally fruitful cos the butterflies all stopped qt far away (or didnt stop at all) and i didnt want to trample on other plants to get near to them, but still OK! cos i took photos of other things :)







Shall end the post with a B&W pic :)


Hope u had a great wkend :)

Tilt-shift Minature Effect

I have new found favourite!

I'm often not motivated to take landscape photos cos my natural inclination is to take macros.

Fren showed me these videos from the digital photography school newsletter. I like the effect of tilt shift lens cos it's like having a macro effect on landscape! Perfect.

Dont u think making things look like miniatures is uber cool? I encourage u to watch the videos in HD and fullscreen! :)





I love the music of the second video. Hope u all like it too!

Clementine

Love this song :)

Our City at Night

Landscape is not really my forte so i have plenty to learn. It can be qt fun actually, especially at night, cos there's plenty of waiting to do and it's qt interesting to see photographers wait patiently and stay stationary for the shutter to close.

Some of my attempts of our very own classic cityscapes :)









Happy May day frens!
I'm feeling better :)
