I got pretty tied up with various things the last few nights and had no chance to upload
these photos. So here goes, with a bit of a catch-up of the last few days:
(18) Shin-deshi
(shot date: 25
Jan, post date: 2 Feb)
(Sony A200, 50mm, f2.0, 1/5 sec, ISO 400)
This was one of my submissions for a monthly photo competition at another photography
group/forum. The shot was my first "real" experience with off-camera lighting, which in
this case was a torchlight with tissue paper (diffuser) wrapped around the front and held
in one hand from the side, while my other hand hit the timed shutter. All this while lying
flat on my tummy on the floor of my flat with all the lights off. Maybe not the most
glamourous of setups or execution but, well, it was something like midnight so nobody
saw me doing it and it was a bit of fun!

(19) Texture of the waves

(Sony A200, 50mm, f8.0, 1/160 sec, ISO 100)
This photo was taken handheld at Sembawang beach, with my camera down near the
water and looking out towards Johor. I just like the satiny look of the water and the deep
blue tone.

(21) Back of Toys R Us at Forum shopping mall
(shot date: 29
Jan, post date: 2 Feb)
(Sony A200, 50mm, f1.7, 1/80 sec, ISO 250)
Shot handheld, inside at early evening when the light was failing outside. The shot is taken
from the playground area at the far corner inside the mall and looks up at a large neon
Toys R Us sign. I wanted to capture the failing light and I have also 'moodified' the scene
somewhat. I especially like the light details on the ceiling.
