What I am Doing Now (11 November 2022)
Like many people in Singapore (and probably around the world as well), I bought a bike (folding one) and started cycling amid the COVID pandemic in 2020. Two years on, I’m still riding weekly (about 30km on Saturday). I’m glad I’ve picked up cycling, as this is the only exercise that I can continue, because …
Photo of the Month (October 2022)
Photo of the Month (October 2022) This is the same place where I took my POTM for February, which is the front-runner for the best photo of 2022. I’ve always wanted to shoot 1 or 2mm wider here, but this is the widest I can go with my 18-35mm lens, unfortunately. 😅
What I am Doing Now (28 October 2022)
I’m now planning to revamp my Tumblr . In a way, my Tumblr website is like a carbon-copy of this website. The layout looks similar, and the photos posted here can all be found there. I’m still posting there, but unlike this main website, posting has become a chore rather than something I do for …
What I am Doing Now (21 October 2022)
Photography is my biggest passion, and this website is my passion project (a.k.a. self-satisfaction 😅). I’m quite happy with what I’ve done so far, from both photography perspective and web-development perspective, but I have a few more dreams to fulfil. I’ve long wanted to self-publish a coffee table (photography) book. I’m sure there are many …
Review: Zelda L-Bracket For Nikon Z 5, 6, 7, 6 II, 7 II by 3 Legged Thing
Upon upgrading to Nikon Z 6II , I bought an L-bracket (Zelda L-Bracket For Nikon Z 5, 6, 7, 6 II, 7 II Cameras ), which is an L-shaped piece of metal that can be attached to the camera body and clamped to the tripod head. The L-bracket comes in handy when shooting vertically (portrait …
What I am Doing Now (7 October 2022)
So, about a few weeks ago, Nikon announced Nikon Z 17-28mm (f/2.8) lens, which will be released in late October. It’s something I definitely want to rent and test its sharpness when it comes to Camera Rental Centre. Compared to my Nikon 18-35mm (f/3.5-4.5) lens, going 1mm wider but losing 7mm at the tele-end, which …
Photo of the Month (September 2022)
Photo of the Month (September 2022) I skipped POTM in August, as there wasn’t anything worthy of it. 😅 This is the first decent photo taken with Nikon Z 6II that I finally upgraded to last month!
What I am Doing Now (30 September 2022)
Over the last few months, I’ve got a number of gear in and out. Here are the main changes. In: Nikon Z 6II , M.Zuiko 45mm (f/1.8) , Manfrotto 055XPRO4 Out: Nikon D610 , Nikon 14mm (f/2.8) , Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 I had a difficult time finding a buyer for Nikon 14mm (f/2.8). Apparently, this lens …
What I am Doing Now (16 September 2022)
Besides Nikon Z 6II + Nikon 18-35mm (f/3.5-4.5) which is primarily for my cityscapes with long exposure at blue hour, I do own Olympus PEN E-PL10 and M.Zuiko 17mm (f/1.8) that I’m using for casual shots and when I want nice background bokeh. PEN is a Micro Four Thirds camera with a crop factor of …
What I am Doing Now (9 September 2022)
I’m back again in Uluwatu, Bali, but this time with my family. 😀 Unlike the last visit, I went to a few places of interest, but actually prefer just staying in the villa and chilling out. 😅 So, I went onto renting Nikon Z 14-30mm (f/4) and tested last weekend. Before renting, I was thinking …
