Taken on vacation trips

On The Milford Road To Te Anau

On The Milford Road To Te Anau
We’re back from what the Maoris call “the land of the long white cloud “, New Zealand! I was a little worried during my first couple of days’ visit there because of terrible rainy weather. However, the weather started to clear up later on and New Zealand certainly didn’t disappoint! The above is one of the many fantastic scenes I got to witness during my short 11-day visit. More to come… 🙂

I had the privilege to purchase a brand new Canon 40D right before my trip which I put to good use during the trip. The camera is a certainly a joy to use… more on that in my future posts to come!

Left Behind At Windermere

Left Behind At Windermere
I had a chance to visit Windermere in the Lake District Area in the UK earlier in July. This was the same place where dad took “First Light At Bowness On Windermere” last year. However, we arrived later this time round and therefore was not able to get the golden light captured in dad’s shot. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the compositional opportunities the place had to offer despite the gloomy weather 🙂

Having A Yummy Time

This was taken in Osaka’s Universal Studios right before I took this other shot. Sometimes, pictures of parade spectators can be as interesting (if not more) as those of the participants. Selective background desaturation done here to bring out the main subjects of the shot.

Update – CY has suggested that this shot be called “Freeze” instead — because the action has been frozen, as well as the fact that ice-cream is being enjoyed. What do you think of this alternate title?
