My Birthday @ Clarke Quay

Went to Clarke Quay for my birthday celebration with my girlfriend. Taken some photos along the way to the Brewerks pub. It's a pleasure walk and i captured some scenes that i would like to share here.


A weird dome, there are 2 weird domes in the "The Central" shopping center for shoppers to rest. I do not really understand why in the shopping centre they built a shelter for that.

Fake Leg. real or fake leg??? My girlfriend spotted this fake leg in the resting area.

Love letter?! I don't know where the people get this love shape paper and write on it then hang it in the fence, we are trying to get one, but can't find the papers ...

There are many people along the street even though it is not a weekend. We enjoy our long awaited stroll along the street. On the most left hand side, can any person see the Brewerks banner (Please click the photo to see ...)? That is the pub we are heading to ...

Jumbo Seafood restaurant along the Clarke Quay

I like B&W photos, recently, i shot a lot of B&W photos. Personally, i think B&W will provide clean subject explosion effect which color photo difficult to present.

Beautiful Night scene along the Clarke Quay and The Central Shopping centre

Waiting for my girlfriend during the toilet session, i took a photo for myself ...the scene behind my image is mixed with the background behind me and the opposite outside as I'm standing in front of the window at 3rd floor.

I took this photos from the 3rd floor, these 2 persons spotted me when i point my camera to them. As the shutter speed is slow and the photo is taken behind the window, these person looked like superimposed on the background and the background scene can still be seen, i like this kind of virtual effect even though it's not a sharp clean photo.

Chingay @ Bukit Panjang Town 2012

Lion Dance

 In February, I attended a Chingay at Bukit Panjang Town 2012. It's my first time attended Chingay in Singapore and this chingay is so near to my house so i attended with my girlfriend. This is also my first time using the DXO Film pack to process the photos, the result is really good!

Since all the photos here are taken with my combination of Panasonic G3 and the 14-42mm kit lenses (i set the ISO to ISO-1600 in order to balance between the ISO noise and the shutter speed) in a very dim shooting conditions, i do not have high expectation on the photos posted here due to the lenses that i used BUT, after i use the DXO film pack, i found the different is huge. Personally, i feel that the DXO film pack will sharpen all the image and hence they look better than the original photo.Of course, i like the natural color produced by it!

Let's have a look of the photos here ! (All the photos are processed using mode : Generic Fuji Velvia 100 in DXO)

What's that?

Open Ceremony, Dragon Dance

Dragon Dance Shot

The shooting condition is very challenging for my kit lenses, i pushed up all the ISO to 1600, the above photo shutter speed is 1/60sec, focal length:84mm(equiv) and the subject still not sharp enough, this is the best that i can have during that crowded situation.

Sharper Dragon head finally!, the exposure time pushed to 1/160sec, focal length:84mm(equiv)

A sudden head from an Uncle, i never expect he will stand up while i'm still framing, but his head still under foocuss..

People, the DXO deliver good color to this photo

Indian Dance

Waiting for the chingay vehicles

Panning, i think i need more practice. 1/8sec, f/5.3, focal length:102mm(equiv), tele-converter:on

People standing everywhere to wait for the chingay vehicle

Missed the focus!, too much contrast distracted by the light, very difficult to focus well
