This post is overdue by two weeks, but here are some shots from Australia Day 2010 taken at South Perth:

I wasn’t exactly camping at the right spot as I’ve seen much better shots from other photographers who knew where to be. Ah wells, there’s always a next year.
Have a great week ahead! =)
…time flies when you’re having fun.
I just realised today that it has been a month since my last update. Technically speaking, my last post was last year. I wouldn’t say I was having the time of my life, but when you no longer have uni assignments and exams to deal with, there’s always other things (eg. work) that bothers you. I have been taking it easy on the job-hunt. Heck, I haven’t even prepared my CV or resume to begin with.
So what have I actually done for the past month? Nothing much except for work and more work, really. Well, my niece, Sophie turned one month on 14th January. Here’s the cute little thing:
I have been a Nokia fanboy since I was 13. I still remember my first phone being a trusty Nokia 3210 (Google it if you’re too young to know the model), which had the best game ever (SNAKE!) during my schooling days. I would bring it to school and risk having it confiscated because it was against the school rules then (not sure about now). Later on I had the 3350, which introduced cooler ringtones and games. I had a 7250i when it first came out (one of the first phone with colour and polyphonic ring tones and camera!!) and then downgraded to a 8310 when my phone was robbed 
The 8310 stayed with me for a year or so with me after I came to Perth, until I signed a contract for a N95, which was my phone for the past 2 years. I was deciding between the N97 and an iPhone 3GS, but finally couldn’t resist but to join the dark side – I got the iPhone.
Sad to say, I haven’t regretted the move from Nokia to Apple by the slightest bit. The UI is just too pretty and I love how it doesn’t lag at all, unlike Nokia’s line of “smart” N-series phones. Everything is right at my finger tips with the iPhone, and the app store is amazing, to say the least. Nokia has a lot of work to do to catch up in the game.
Happy Australia Day for all Aussies for tomorrow! =)
Dear World,
Meet Baby Sophie, the new addition to the Chan family. She was born on the 14th of December 2009 at 11.58pm at King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women. She weighs 3115grams and cries like a loudspeaker.
This is her first (angelic) smile caught on camera by her Uncle Raymond on 15th Dec:
My site has been acting a little weird of late. I haven’t managed to write an entry without the server giving me 404 errors. Unfortunately my webmaster hasn’t been able to find a solution to the problem, where it can really frustrate me at times because I’d have to wait for about 30 minutes or so for the server to come back up. Nevertheless, enough ranting and back to my entry.
So here is the continuation of my first post a couple of weeks back, Perth Skyline at Night. But unlike the first set of shots, these ones were taken elsewhere, at Applecross.
Enjoy:
Yes, I’ve changed my border around my images and also the font for the watermark. Gotten a little sick of the old one.
Can’t wait for my next session of night photography!
This entry is not bandwidth-friendly
I was recently asked to be the photographer for Forte School of Music’s annual festival at Riverview church at Cockburn Central. It is a day where the students in the school have a chance to get up on stage and perform for their family and teachers. There were two concerts of a different time with different performances by the students and different sets of audience, who are mainly made up of family members of the students.
The first concert started at 3.30pm and another at 5.30pm, so this post is a combination of both concerts.
It was quite a challenge to photograph the event because the only long zoom I have is the 55-200mm, which I personally think is not a fast enough lens for the lighting condition at the venue, so I used a combination of my Tamron 17-50mm 2.8, 55-200mm, 50mm 1.8 and a tripod. Most shots were taken at ISO of 800 and a few 1600, but really if my body could handle 1600 and 3200 well enough I would definitely use those range, but unfortunately it can’t. Perhaps I should really start saving up for a D90 or D300s? Wishful thinking.
Despite the high stress and running around like a madman with my camera from one end of the stage to the other, it was a great experience.
Here are some shots from the event:
Here a couple of shots of Perth skyline from a couple of nights ago. It was taken at around 11.30pm, which wasn’t exactly the most ideal time for night photography, but unfortunately that was about the only time I have due to work commitments at night.
These were taken at Mill Point road, which is one of the best locations to photograph the skyline of Perth at night. It was a cold night, and being unprepared for night photography is not something you want to be doing. Thankfully I had company which made the slow shutter (up to 20 seconds) shots seem much faster. More shots to follow another day.
Enjoy:
This post is long overdue, but just over a month ago, I was given the privilege to photograph Sandra’s precious Viola. Here are some of my favourites out of the 34 that I ended up fairly satisfied with:
Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Have a great week ahead =)
