Hi people,
Had horrid pics the last time i visited marina barrage happily 2nd day into the ownership of my D90. Promised myself to revisit to do the place and the camera justice. Improved i think but still lacking in comparision to zola70's test shot with his nikon D5000. Will seek to improve.
Been hit by the poor economy as well so trying to give myself some encouragement in forming a storyline with my pics : Trying to tell myself rest is impt in such a time, to gain energy and move in the direction charted, possibly dramatically different from one well travelled. If timing to move is not right, look for comfort and joy in things familiar, dun get bitten by the despair bug and things will be fine.
Things gets more wordy from here so advance thanks to those who take time to see.

TAKE A BREAK
If you are tired,
take a break.
Seats aplenty for you to take.
If you are tired,
rest your feet,
Else your destination you wun be able to reach.
If you are tired,
just sit yourself down,
To go further you need to rest now.
If you are tired,
Take a look around you,
perhaps you might see things to make you new.
If your are tired,
take a break,
this could be the difference that will make.

CROSSING THE RUBICON
Sometimes we need to cross the rubicon,
In the search of a brand new dawn.
Caesar did it to build an empire,
All I want is to just relight my fire.
The rubicon is not a sea but just a creek,
A symbol of things we dare not speak.
Crossing it is all in the mind,
When you set the course all will be fine.
So take a rest and set your sights,
Catch your breathe and look left and right.
Mayhaps a bridge over troubled water you will see,
Cross it and in starry starry land youll be.

FINDING YOUR SHANGRI LA
Shangri la this definitely is not,
Singapore is way too hot.
Our city is a FINE city yes it is,
Whos to complain when we live in lawful bliss.
Prices are up and wages down,
Is that reason enough for a big big frown.
Bad things are aplenty if we nit and pick,
Pushing ourself into the doldrums where all is bleak.
Just like an underexposed photograph,
It might not be bad due to the photographers craft.
Oh yes we can blame it on the camera,
But is it the camera or our endeavour.
Push away the gloom and doom,
Sweep it away with the proverbial broom.
Look at all thats good amidst the bad,
Things will definitely be better a tad.
Oh things wun be better immediately,
But at least one will maintain ones sanity.
In keeping the right frame of mind,
Our own Shangri La we can find.
Well thanks for the viewing if you got so far, also this seem not a conventional way to share pics, apologises to the mod if this is not inline, please let me know to rectify.
Thanks.
cheers,
