Font Canning Hill again

I am really not updating the blog as often as I like to and it almost 3 months since I last bring my toy out to take some photos.

Busy with work + lazy.... finally drag myself out of the house yesterday to fort canning again to see I make any progress with my toy shoots.

Brought the Kotobukiya Hetalia One Coin Set 1,  Seena and Lineage Elf by Orchid Seed but my stamina and time only allow me to take photos of the first 2.

National Day Parade 2010 Fireworks (Warning! No toys inside)

Move my lazy ass down to Singapore river again. Not sure of MBS sky garden allow me to  use my tripod and most of the good spots were taken, really lucky that I manage lucky to squeeze in and find a spot near merlion again.

The fireworks is alot more intensive compare to the preview, near the end it juz took 2~3 sec to overexpose my shot at min aperture, ORZ to the singapore goverment!

Punggol Beach Sunrise 06 Aug 2010 (Warning! No toy inside)

National Day Parade 2010 Preview Fireworks (Warning! No toys inside)

My wife is out that day with her sister so it is up to me to bring 2 kids, my gears and a pram through the crowds, road blocks using public transports and legs to the merlion and take some fireworks photos.

Have to make a few stops on the way to get food, drink and bring the kids to the wash room. Because of the blockage, the slope for wheelchair and pram is unavailable. Had to make a huge detour only to find out there no one to operate the handicape assist. I had to hand carry the huge pram containing

1 younger daughter
2 tripod
3 liter of water
4 set of snacks

down a flight of stairs with a camera behind my back while trying no to lose sight of my elder daugher.

When finally we can squeeze our way through to the merlion and setup the tripod at the spot we decided the day before, the wind is blowing the water from the merlion mouth straight at us. My friend had to move around to look for another spot, my elder daughter chose this magical moment and ask too go toilet again!

Logicist nightmare.....

Garden Festival 22 Jul 2010 (Warning! No toy inside)

Been a while since my last post, abit lazy to post process and filters my photos after work.

I only manage to arrival at the exhibition at 7.00 pm on last day and is really surprise by the size of this event. The next 3 hour only barely allow me to cover all the exhibition halls and the photos are taken handheld (macro nightmare) to save time.

There is veri little post processing done in lightroom, didn't really know what to do with flowers =.=|| Hope to retouch them when I got a better idea on how to do it.
