The dino park sadly was not that fanastic. Went with bro, his gf and mum haha
This is our first stop to the pengiuns! Problem is here that since they were all behind the glass, it would be difficult to take a clear picture of them since the glass is not that clean... I like this pose the most, this is where all the pegiuns gathered at the edge of the rock before the waters and just stand there. Reminds me of the show rosy business when all of the actors and actress (good ones) walk together to get their rights haha
Who would wanna miss the eagles? too bad, my lens is 70 to 300mm and i could only take the big birds that are not at the top of the cage as well as not too close to the cage or like the one above, the cages lines are still visible at the focus point of the eagle.
This shot was so by accident, my lens was not working too well at the place where we get to close up with the parrots cos you move further, the parrot slide closer to you or that you are too close to it and by the time you move, the parrot fly off le.
As said the dino park wasnt that good at all...having problems manuel focusing cos its so dark, you could hardly focus on the subject.
I kinda like this shot, the aus grull haha! taken behind the glass.Well after the trip, went to clementi to have botak jones and then back home haha.
But after they open their eyes and start eating, they grow chubbier! hahaha
this is berry, she is the only girl in the house.
this is chip, he's the cutest among the puddings
dale and almond, almond at first i thought is orange pudding but he turn out to be a cream yellow pudding. he's being reserved for adoption.
Intially want to have the best fly sia but then they only left 7,10 and 15 feb flights which i will reach there by 11.40pm and have to spend the night at the airport there.
You guess it! my favourite milk give birth to a boy and a girl on the 27 nov 2009
Work is like busy...plus this weeks move house,everyone's tired. I did not do much, like only went there after work to carry some stuff up, paint toilet and wash the paint off the floor and then at night 10 plus go home. Been going to sleep from 12 to 2 plus this week and on wednesday, i was sleeping at my desk when working. Went to the new house carry some stuff then sleep on the floor then wake up gastric and then vomit, diaherro and then head ache... mum tell me see the doctor then come out is gastric pain ... never know this would happen to me...
then now cannot eat too spicy too sour....
Haha what you are seeing now is mum's flash gun that she bought for dad's camera in the past where i was not even born yet lol! Dig a bag of cameras out from the drawer but Dad say its not his. His was the 2 lens in one old camera, minolta and canon which was no where to be found in the bag like what he had say lol.
Well i have never seen this brand before, mum thought it was mine at first and i was like i dun even know such brands exist. This above is spoiled as the battery was not taken out and melted inside.
This is the camera that mum bought the flash gun for. Surpise! the lens is interchangable! and the interior is very new. The lanuch date of this brand is in 1977 and the lens is make in singapore! mum remebers that they se to go on holidays with this camera but dad doesnt remember
This was the last camera in the bag. Its makes me thinking when my bro commented that I got the interest from my dad. My mum say when he was young, he used to take his camera and go here and there snapping pictures and one of his pictures the merlion win a gold coin as a prize which he offer to grandfather as a token from him to give my mum when she offer him the tea during the wedding day. I seen the gold coin, my mum kept it. Its proven that my dad wasnt boasting around like he usually does. And got me thinking what if time can reserve back to the past, given a second chance would he give up photography for a stable job like being a contracter? Look he's got a gold medal, it already says that my dad has his talent there...but was to give up for the sick of supporting his family (not me and my bro la, that was before i was born). What if he stick to his passion, what would life be like? Is that his passion? What if he was given another change to hold a camera again, would he be going around to snap pictures? When I start to remember things, it was my mum going around taking pictures of us. My dad would always be empty handed. Was it painful for him to chose between those paths at that time?
Another Question is that is it a 5 minutes heat or a passion. Seriously I have no idea, things that I think is a passion in the end I give up... I been thinking if man were each given something to be good at...what's mine? Study - nope...I always like due date want to get it over and done with and when the results come I like why didnt I get higher. My heart cant seem to be at it...drawing? I cant draw, there are many that draw better than me, the colours and all. Being nice? now thats hyprocite! I not a nice person like what jm has been saying ' you been giving in too much' , what she didnt know is that I just dun dare...my mind is always full of bad stuff like man I seriously should just walk up and confront the person, I want to outdo you, why you cant do such a simple thing etc.Being able to take pictures? nah~honestly any one who got the same gear could take the photos that I have taken. I not sure if its a 5 min flame or not but honestly, last year july when I saw courts having a red thread sale selling the sp560 at 300, I was like wow its one of Aud's alike camera that could take those clear pictures and since my mum says its good to change our family camera, I took the initative to buy it. From then on, I been using the camera and thats where I start knowing whats apeature and shutter speed, white balance and etc. The camera comes with a live view and weilin's present was taken by it when i was not familar with the settings. For that camera, I used like apeature mode more but it has its disadvantages, it runs on double AA which takes up alot of power and everytime i go for a shot, i need to take a bullet of batteries. I begin to get disappointed with my pictures quailty and was like maybe i should get a dslr so the quality be nicer. so in the cheap bargin i got the e410 behind my mum's back and at first i was like not very comfortable with the manuel mode and lens but then as i pratice with nino's first litter, the manuel mode becomes my default mode and the manuel focus becomes one of my usual settings. Then after using e410 to adapt to the system of the dslr for 8 months or so, I change to a canon dslr display set mainly cos i prefer the 300mm zoom which let me close up to my fav white tiger in the zoo -.- stupid sia...Recently the feeling kept coming again... I having no breakthrough in this area...its this which makes me give up half way...thats why i keep questioning myself...which is passion which is 5 mins flame and get it clear in my heart. I hope one day i be worthy to hold the canon mark 1 d type of camera in my hands. Having the money to buy it in future does not prove that I am worthy enough for it. Even now, I still feel that I am not worthy for the eos 400d in my hands.
Have been reading this book that I bought from mph ,cost me 30 plus , every morning to work. Not sure that i have abosorb all but i got to know more about the sensor meter and the histrogram readings.
I really wish to go to auckland. not only because of the chance to take photography pratices as a elective but also to grow up as someone here is waiting for me to grow up when I am there studying. I cant promise her anything as my promises are not worth a cent but I could only try my best to grow up and find the answer to my heart on what is it that I really want in future?
