End of term

I can't friggin wait to proclaim, "ORD LORRRR!" But that will have to be in another year's time. Damn.

Till then, couple of class photos:


M_K will be leaving Singapore for good and soon! I guess I will miss him and his lessons. I really did learn stuff from him unlike T_M. (Aiyo, that one.) I guess the inspiration and motivation did come from him and I am glad I made the switch to multimedia. I am looking forward to motion graphics next term - Hopefully I can make my own MTV video, woot!

Brokeback 3: check out Beng's expression!

Presentation night: All of us (ok, sans S_M) were all sian. I started off being pretty enthusiastic about the module until I got so sick of my subject!

S_t_ng at the back, Jack and Beng in front - YUM.

S_t_ng was really nice as a lecturer but even better as a bitching partner! LOL! The long running joke between him, Jack and Beng definitely was THE gossip fodder for all our post class supper nights. Hilarious.

Two more weeks to go before another school term; I wish Sem will be good for animation and Raymond to be lenient for motion graphics!

Singapore is really too hot.

Photo outing with la_vue! Was really sweet; got to experiment with her babies:


fish eye lens and a pretty funky filter. The results:






accidentally lomo-ish! We both loved the last one; la_vue mused that it could really pass off as a photo taken straight out of Paris (?) sans the Uniquely Singapore balloon. The vignette coupled with the brilliance of the blue sky, plus the couple by the bridge made it pretty romantic.

For the Korea trip, especially rented the wide angle lens for landscape shoots at Cheju (landscape, please be beautiful!); Nikon 12-24mm:





My favourite: I love the accidental stream of light (I imagine it to be disco strobe lights!) -looked like the church was really in sync with the club beats in the background.

Apparently you are not allowed to take pictures around Chijmes because according to the pesky security guard, it is private property (?!). Yeah, right.

la_vue just took it off from her belly (the guard was super bio-ing us); perfect (taiko) symmetry minus the hands. Sometimes NOT looking through the viewfinder can pack in nice little surprises like this.

I am very taken with the wide angle lens; as compared to the macro 60mm one, I love this one so much more. The only gribe I have with it is the limited/lack of zoom; a 12-300 mm one would be super duper sweet, but of course that is only if I have the moolah (and strength) for it. Another one on my list after the Sigma will be this! :D

One more post before Korea!

Polaroid Love

A Polaroid A Day

Photography with the Wizards

Azhar is the sweetest lecturer ever. Seriously. Thanks to him, we got the rare chance to experience a professional photography shoot, complete with lighting, backdrop etc. We also got to play with expensive equipment - a 120mm Mamiya (eh, $40,000 for a fucking digital back;  twice as much as my darn dip) - and also try our hands at styling our products for the project. SWEET. 

me and the mamiya:


daphne was the poor model for this and an another shoot. She was looking so FHM-ish in one (I am so tempted to post that slutty pic up) and then, totally constipated for the other. LOL.

my favourite:


P/S: I am going to rent a wide angle lens for the Korea trip :D I am so looking forward to the nice scenery in Cheju!  In the mean time, I just need to get over the darn deadlines!
