3rd album: Fireworks on 22nd Aug 2008 @ Marina Square

Image
Yesh.. 3rd week since I got my DSLR. Although still as blur as the first day I got the camera, I got a bunch of friends who got better knowledge in photography and it was really a great thing they are willing to share their knowledge with me. It was a rainy day and I was so afraid we might ended up caught in the rain (which didn't really happen). Come to think of it, I was almost an hour late upon reaching City Hall. (But wait, I did mentioned that I will be there later than expected.) Anyway, after I met up with them, we hurriedly made our way to the bridge near Esplanade (where I gobbled down my Meatball Marinara from Subway LOL). When we reached the area, I couldn't help but felt so stuck. Lucky for us, with the sharp eyesight of our friend, Andy, we managed to grab the best spot on the bridge, which we set up our equipment (tripod and camera?) and camped there (to capture the fireworks). Here are the first few try shots (ok, I actually took like 40+ pictures BUT these are ...

My first picture collection - Botanic Garden

Image
My very first D-SLR D40!! I finally got it! Tomodachi~! (You know who I am referring to right?) Arigato Gozaimasu~!  If not for your help, I don't think I will be able to get the camera! Couldn't be more happy when I finally got the camera and has the chance to use it for my first trip to Botanic Garden.  When I first arrived at Botanic Garden, the sky looks (and sounds) gloomy.  BUT! That didn't stop us (me and a lady friend of mine) from ending the trip. (Sorry for the short words but quite tired now so let's just look through the few shots (out of the many that lost focus totally) Saw this and couldn't resist from taking a snap shot which turns out pretty well. A pity I dunno how to make the water flows look better.... Looks like twinkle stars but it's OOF! Have to really open my eyes BIG to check the results!! Cropped from a larger image.. I had wanted to take a picture of the flowers and I spotted a grasshopper! I like this shot ONLY it's is to...
