Beyond 50: Life Needs Something to Look Forward to, Both Short and Long Terms
So, I crossed 50 back in July, which is such a milestone, but nothing really has changed in my life. I continue working full-time and getting completely exhausted at the end of each working day. 😅 It’s hard to keep going like this, but at least there are a few things to look forward to …
Photo of the Month (August 2023)
Photo of the Month (August 2023) Photographed on 21 August 2023 at Esplanade (Singapore). Normally, I shoot my blue hour shot at the close end of dusk (10 to 5 minutes before the end of dusk) for the best result, but for this photo, I intentionally shot much earlier (18 minutes before the end of …
Caturday Special (August 2023)
Since I regularly take pictures of cats on weekday mornings when walking back from my kid’s school, I’m starting monthly posts called “Caturday Special” sharing cats photos on the first Saturday of each month (as long as there are worthy captures to share 😅). FYI, all these cats photos are shot with my photo-walking camera, …
Making of a Photograph: Part 13 – ArtScience Museum (Singapore)
This photo of Singapore skyline was shot within the compound of ArtScience Museum in October 2020. This museum always closes at 7pm, which makes it difficult to shoot at blue hour, as dusk never comes earlier than 7pm in Singapore. The earliest dusk of the year in Singapore comes at 7:11pm (while the latest is …
Toy Photography with Squidward (SpongeBob SquarePants) Collectibles
Recently, I bought these Squidward toys (they’re called “collectibles” 😅), and biked to East Coast Park (Singapore) to shoot them in golden hour using Olympus PEN E-PL10 with M.Zuiko 17mm (f/1.8) lens. I can’t be happier with these results! Imagine a 50-year-old man enthusiastically shooting Squidward toys from all angles (I chose an area with …
Making of a Photograph: Part 12 – Gardens by the Bay (Singapore)
This photo of “Supertree Grove” was shot at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore on 3 March 2020, which was less than 3 weeks before Singapore closed the border to all tourists due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I remember Gardens by the Bay still having quite a number of tourists and doing Garden Rhapsody show (light …
Photo of the Month (July 2023)
Photo of the Month (July 2023) Photographed on 17 July 2023 at Shenton Way (Singapore). POTM is back after skipping May and June (no worthy photos to be shared 😅). I’ve tried this spot for light trails several times over the years, but this is my most favourite so far! This place is close to …

Making of a Photograph: Part 11 – Fukuoka Tower (Japan)
This photo of Fukuoka Tower was shot at Momochi Seaside Park in Fukuoka, Japan in September 2018. Fukuoka is the place that I call home, as I spent my childhood and youth years there (as an uncool kid 😅). Fukuoka isn’t a big name among travellers, compared to more illustrious cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, …
