Lower Seletar Reservoir

If anyone asks me what i like to take photos of, i'll reflexly say children, flowers and food.

Ystdy i took my camera out for the second time and i managed to meet this family from India tt kindly allowed me to take photos of their child. They asked me to send them my photos! I hope they'll like them :)









Anyway, i really think it's qt a challenge to take photos of children. They're so active and their constant movement make it difficult for me to take crisp and sharp photos i like which i can qt easily achieve when i take stationary close ups :)

I have plenty to learn still! Perhaps 60mm and a flash will be my answer to what i currently like :)

Oh, lastly it's a pic of the resevoir with a passing train at sunset:)


Clearly, landscape isnt my forte!

Favourites of Yunnan

I looked through my yunnan photos today and found that i still like some of the photos as much as the day i took them. The last time i posted yunnan pictures, the emphasis was on the trip and the pictures were posted in chronological fashion.

This time i shall post only selected photos :) I hope u find something u like too!


I love the vibrant colours.


My mom likes this photo maybe cos she took it. But i do look qt happy with the corn:)










In yunnan, i saw a lot of traditional costumes. Because 52 of the 56 tribes of China can be found there! Most of their traditional costumes are rather elaborate, bright and colourful :) I thought this pic has a rather interesting contrast btwn the bright pink and darker background.







I love Children! Naturally a large percentage of my favourite photos have them :)














In yunnan, the long bus rides meant there were multiple toilet stops. This has become a source of income for some of the locals. Most of the toilets will fall below ur expected hygiene standards, but u're expected to pay nevertheless.

I managed to take some photos of children who collect money from tourists.













Cat in a basket outside the toilet.

More Children











A granny walking her dogs. At the background is one of yunnan's most famous mountain 玉龙雪山:)

I was rather fortunate to be able to go to Shangri-la. If u havent already known, shangri-la means 心中的日月. I think the thought of it is qt nice :)

I heard the place is most beautiful when all the flowers bloom and there will be seas of red orange and yellow at different altitude. Sounds awesome!











Nothing is more me, than a macro shot. I love the vibrant colours of lantana :) I was fortunate that a bee stayed long enough for me to take this shot.


I dont think i have posted any of my photos in grayscale before :) I shall end with my first 3 of them :)






These photos never fail to remind me that traveling with a camera is a perfect combination. I'm really looking forward to the next time i travel! :)
