Erm, kind-of a summary from my experience when I went on the flyer. 1. No, the flyer does NOT stop at all, even when people need to get on board. The flyer is just slow enough to let all the passengers [2 to 28] to enter a cabin when it reaches the 'base'. Don't believe? Look from the garden...

I shoot with my left eye I hold my knife with my left I write with my right I play batting games / badminton with my right. And my Right hand can carry more load than my left.

I reserved a 16GB Black iPhone with Singtel at the Ngee Ann City hello! Store. If you want an iPhone as early as it is available in Singapore [or as close to Singapore's launch day], I really recommend you go down to a hello! store to reserve a unit. You'll need to get a queue number under...

I guess I'm the only one here using Aperture, eh? I like Aperture because it saved my wallet off ~S$200, for essentially the [more or less] same function as Lightroom, which is to edit photos. Aperture seems a bit limited, and I do like Lightroom for its intergration with Photoshop, but hey...

Maybe slower than a tactile qwerty keyboard, but hey, it's faster than your Nokia N95! just touch over the letter you want to type, not press the same spot 3x for the letter 'c', for example. Have you ever tried an iPod touch? I have, so that makes me a more reliable source, doesn't it?;p

Wait, there's something I don't understand... I thought there's a round of interviews after the judging? who is that for, when is that, and how do we know we're in? What about the 'losers'? How would we know that there's no need to wait anymore, because your shots were too lousy? [jk. hey, I...

Also, if you are talking about "fundamentals in HDR", -You need [normally] three shots of the same exact thing, but with different exposures. You can set this up easily using the Bracket shooting and shoot 3 consecutive shots. 1 'Overexposed', 1 'normal', 1 'underexposed'. -Load up the shots...

I'd not bring the tripod if I were you. And even if you are, I suggest you to check online if that country has any restrictions of using tripods in public. I heard that Italy restricts the use of tripods and medium-format cameras without a permit, so that people won't do commercial stuff for the...

Erm, if there's bars in the flyer pods, I'd recommend the Gorrilapods. They're not tripods!

Digital zoom is the cropping and then interpolation of a photo by the camera's processors. Basically what the camera does is that it's just cutting out the edges of your photo [cropping], and then rendering out pixels to make the cropped photo as large [in resolutions] as the camera's set...

Well, You could do a Google Maps search. Aside from that, my suggestion is the open field where the IR is being built. That field was quite crowded during National Day last year because it's the closest you can get to Marina Bay [and also the Ben Sheares Bridge]. Just get a long-zoom lens...

I'm using that lens as well. My first lens ever since I switched to a DSLR. It's a great and versatile lens, especially if you are traveling and you don't want to carry too many lenses. Mine's getting old, though. [my bro's lens since 2003, he got it for $900+ as well.] If you're starting...
