Surfing Knights Of The Round Table

April 21, 2005

Just received news from the Photographic Society Of Singapore that the above picture (which was featured here previously) has been accepted for the To Singapore With Love project in commemoration of Singapore’s 40th National Day. The picture will be featured in a photo art book to be launched by President S R Nathan at the Glass Hall of the Singapore Art Museum on 5 July this year. Selected works from the project will also be exhibited at the Istana, the Singapore Art Museum as well as the Nayang Academy of Fine Arts in August.

“Look! It’s A Bird…”

April 6, 2005

We had some visiting Chinese photographers (from as far as Vancouver) along our trip to the “bird-song park” at Ang Mo Kio last Sunday. My dad thought that the scenes there would be interesting photographic subjects for the non-locals. They were captivated indeed, as this candid shot shows!

“Rise and Sing!”

April 3, 2005

Making a trip back to the “bird-song park” at Ang Mo Kio (pictures featured here and here), but this time with my 20D, I was able to capture some more nice pictures of bird-song lovers hanging up their prized song-birds in cages for unofficial bird-song competitions. The faster focusing of the 20D enabled me to capture better action. What I need most now is a good enough lens (thinking of getting the Canon 70-200mm f4 L eventually, when I get the $$!) as I find the general results obtained with my Sigma 70-300 just a little too soft at wide-open apertures.
