New Camera

We (Hubby and I) bought a new camera on Monday 31st August 2009!
Ah hem... actually HE was the one who bought it as HE was the one who paid for it.
It's a Canon PowerShot G10, attractive features include a 5 x wide-angle (28 mm) optical zoom lens and 14.7 Megapixel resolution.

The camera is of no ordinary digital camera, as mentioned in Epinions.com, 'G10 is a compact alternative to a DSLR'.

There are so many functions and settings in G10, as an amateur myself, I really do not how to adjust and do not understand most of the terms used in photography. For examples setting the shutter speed, setting the Aperture, getting the right ISO etc.

I think i should get a 'Photography for Dummies'.

There're much more to learn and i'm really excited in learning more about photography.

These are just a few shots that i took in my room with my bangles. I'm travelling to Siem Reap, Cambodia this Sunday and that's my chance of trying out this new toy.
I'm really looking forward in visiting Angkor Wat as it is one of the Seven Wonders of the world.


Saw a snail in my porch... casually snapped it . . .

Anand, you sure love this .. haha .. geli isit ??

And now . .. I want to intoduce an amazing HDR photographer to those who have not heard about him ... he is Trey Ratcliff.
This Angkor Wat photo was taken by Trey Ratcliff using HDR method.
This is what he wrote in his HDR tutorial -->HDR is short for High Dynamic Range. It is a post-processing of taking either one image or a series of images, combining them, and adjusting the contrast ratios to do things that are virtually impossible with a single aperture and shutter speed.

This is another photo by Trey Ratcliff, he took this during his trip to Kuala Lumpur. He's a photographer with a unique style.


He has a blog where he posts photos taken from all over the world.

R.I.P Coco

Coco should have already reached heaven by now.

This is our good dog, a dog that had lived with us for more than 10 years.

The dog grew with us, she's part of the family.

Unfortunately, she had cancer, the tumor grew aggressively on her leg.

We had to let her go.

Memories of her will remain with us, she left for the better.

愿他下世投胎成人,脱离畜道。
