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!
