I remember it started off with a beach, forest, a semi dark sky... and lots of screaming. Or at least, that's how I remember Jurassic Park III started in my memory :bsmilie:

I'm not sure why I'm uploading this, but I was quite bored with processing my forever-unending-Taiwan holiday photos. So I flipped my workflow around, and it turn out to be... different. :bsmilie:
Maybe I'll continue this path to see what I'll get...
Bro! Are you sure these Singapore!? Mai Xian leh! But very nice captures!

Wow, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and I'm certainly flattered!
While one of my goals in photography is ultimately creating images that would inspire others, I certainly felt that I have yet to reach that level. I seriously feel that I'm still far from the masters like Terence Lee, Jonathan Danker, Manita and Lin Yi Han, whose works I admire greatly.
But having said that, I'm glad that I had inspired at least one person to pick up his camera. Looking forward to your shots!

This part of Taiwan looks completely opposite from the other side of the road. The other side of the road is a night market, a throwback into the 1990s. Just a stone's throw away, this bridge looks just a little too futuristic, or maybe it's just me and my imagination
And with this photo, it concludes my trip to Taiwan. It's been fun processing them, learning alot throughout the way. Though it's been also very disappointing to continually stare at my photos which is nowhere near Liew Tong Leng's level of travel photograpy. Hopefully one day I'll be able to reach his level of using backlight and reflection, as well as his immerse attention to details.
Last saturday at clubsnap's organised talk, he taught about LCM - Lighting, Composition and Moments. To be true to myself, to date, I had only been focusing on composition and moment. It's not that I had completely ignored lighting, but I had never paid special attention to it like I did for composition and moment. "As long as it's decent and okay, I'm fine with it" is my attitude towards light. I had always believed that lighting can always be saved in post processing, but composition and moments when lost, are lost forever. "Better to have a shot that's savable in post processing, than no shot at all". However that results in long processing hours in the photos, since heavy doses of time have to be spent on saving the light. But it's probably time that I need to pay more attention to the light to bring my photography to the next level, since photographers are essentially light painters.
Till my next trip, which is Borocay after my wedding in Oct, cya guys around! I doubt that I will be shooting Singapore landscapes before that, since I'll be busy preparing my wedding and exploring other genres of photography (e.g birding and wildlife) where light is more crucial

The Sail
The Sail
Boracay, Philippines.
We went to Boracay, Philippines for our minimoon last October. Beautiful beach, beautiful place!
What you see here is one of the bread and butter in Boracay. These sail boats serves a single purpose; for a fee of 300 peso (which is about 9 sgd), they ride you out to sea to view the sunset.There's hundreds of these sail boats and competition between them is extremely intense. You literally can't walk 10 meters in Boracay without anyone approaching you asking whether you would want a ride. It can be extremely irritating after getting approached over 300 times in 5 days. They also don't care what you are doing at that moment, or what time is it, or even if there's a typhoon approaching. They will hunt you down and approach you like Liam Neeson searching for his daughter. This is perhaps the only thing I don't like about Boracay.
