Photography experience Part 1: Taking it up

Well, i started taking photos (if i can recall) since about 6 years ago. Back then i was always amazed by the beautiful photos which i have seen on the internet or by my friends. I was thinking... how am i going to achieve all those? The natural answer was to get a camera first (pretty obvious! :P)

Arggghhh, when it comes to camera, i was a newbie back then. Technology was certainly not as advanced as now. A simple compact camera easily cost about SGD$800 (and yet the technology is even obselete nowadays!).

I rem i got my first camera - Canon IXUS. Cant really rem the model name. Was so thrilled by that camera then though it cost me a bomb then! Imagine $800 bucks spent when i am not even working?? Nevertheless, it was a money well spent.

I played around with the camera, trying to figure out the various angles and the effects on the photos. I never know the term "perspective" then. It is actually the different views seen by the photographer that makes the difference!

My beloved Canon IXUS compact camera stayed with me for about 2 years.. then came then turning point in 2004...

Manning week....

Wow, my manning week has just passed without any activation! Heng ah! If not i will need to put on my army uniform and carry all those items to report to camp! I think its a good way of keeping us disciplined after leaving the army. Keeps us alert. :) The only thing i do not like is the constant feeling of 'dunno when' the call will come... Can't plan things beforehand. The last time when i have booked the movie tickets for movie with my gf, i got recalled back to camp! Since then, i need to just set aside the time for this manning stuff.

Oh ya, probably in the next few weeks to come, i will be sharing some of my humble photography experiences via articles. Hope can have more people to go into this hobby! So people out there, stay tuned to my blog. Cheers ~

Care for some sushi?

Suddenly i felt so hungry... maybe its because i have not eaten my lunch yet...

This photo which i have taken some time back makes me wanna eat some japanese food! Hmm... Pasta Waruka maybe? Or Sakae Sushi? Whatever that may be, i am going to eat some jap food today!

My very 1st blog!

Well, finally i have manged to set up my own blog! It's my very 1st after seeing so many of my friends having this. Seems like the "in" thing nowadays. I think people nowadays tends to use avenues such as blogging to bring across what they have in mind.. Nevertheless, i still enjoy talking to people directly. Thinking of using this blog to inject some lovely pictures to share with all of u! Cheers!
