Twilight At The Esplanade

Twilight At The Esplanade
I brought CY to the Esplanade for dinner to celebrate her birthday yesterday evening. We were early for our dinner appointment and decided to explore the roof-top terrace area. Brilliant twilight greeted us. I originally wanted to bring along a tripod but this was not convenient to carry around, not at dinner time especially! Thankfully, I was able to hand-hold the camera steadily enough. The final shot was composited and digitally blended from two different RAW processes of the same file — one for the highlights and one for the shadows. I like the final effect I managed to achieve.

Searching For Vader

Searching For Vader
I made two trips down to Changi International Airport today… first to send off CY and my in-laws on their holiday trip to Hong Kong, then later in the day to send EK off on his trip back to Glasgow, UK. The above was taken at Terminal 2 at Changi with my mobile phone’s little 2-megapixel camera (I did not bring my 20D since I wasn’t expecting photography). The original image has been rotated and flipped. I am almost tempted to add a Darth Vader or Obi-Wan Kenobi in digitally :P. Perhaps George Lucas might be interested to film further Star Wars productions at Changi 😉

Roof Of The Citadel

Roof Of The Citadel
I am back from the UK… and finally an update here (more to come when I finally get out to take pictures after the completion of my exams next week) 🙂

As mentioned previously, the only camera that I brought along for this UK trip was the little 2-megapixel one in my mobile phone. Quality wise, of course that camera can never compare to the even the Powershot G3 I was using earlier on. However, I am still amazed with what I can get from such a tiny little camera given the right lighting conditions. The above was taken at Carlisle railway station (known otherwise as the Citadel station) in transit from Glasgow to Manchester. Apart from the resize and a little saturation boost, the image was pretty what I got out of the camera.
