Umbrella Not Included

From my New Year Day’s session at the Marina Barrage… Love the lighting, and the spontaneity from the kids playing at the fountain 🙂

Happy New Year! 2010 started off photographically for me with an early morning trip to the Marina Barrage with dad. We managed to come back pretty satisfied with our haul of keepers 🙂
On a technical note, I have never been a fan of AI Servo mode on my earlier Canon DSLRs (300D/20D/40D) … my one month-old EOS 7D is going to change my mind though: check out the full-size crop of the kid’s face here.

Orchard Road has undergone quite a far bit of rejuvenation in the past year with old buildings renovated, and new malls and buildings popping up very quickly. I had the opportunity to visit the Rooftop Garden at the new Orchard Central building over the weekend. Although the view from the garden was not that great for night scene photography, I came back happy with the above shot of a wire sculpture (by local artist Victor Tan) and its unusual reflections off the tiled walls of a staircase landing.
