One of the banes of using zoom-lenses is that of barrel-distortion at wide angles (especially for the cheaper/budget lenses). I came across a link to two interesting free software tools to correct these distortions: RadCor and PTLens (upon which RadCor is based). Digging out a shot that was previously badly affected by barrel-distortion, I tried out RadCor with impressive results. Additional Photoshop tinkering that led to the above image: Channel Mixer tweaking for the monochrome / IR look, followed by adding Noise for a slightly grainy look. Taken more than a year ago outside the ESPRIT shop at Raffles City.

I use some of the pictures that I take for running a slideshow screensaver on my PC. Most of these pictures end up on my photoblog. The above is one photo that I took on New Year’s Day 2004, which I have somehow missed putting up. I was struck by the nice contrast of deep saturated colours when it showed up on my screensaver a couple of days ago.

At Work On The Hospital

Updates to my photoblog will be a little slow for the next few months since I will have lesser time for updates due to my upcoming post-graduate examinations…

A picture from the past archives…

As part of the 80th anniversary celebrations of the hospital that I work at, photographs depicting hospital staff at work (from technicians, maintenance, to health care workers) will be put up at a commemorative exhibition. I went around the hospital looking for pictures to take (when as luck would have it) I came across this scene of cleaners at work on the exterior of the hospital building. I like the contrast of the human activity against the patterned backdrop of the hospital building windows.

NB: I no longer working at this hospital currently and the above-mentioned exhibition has already taken place.
