People get bored, easily. I am the same. I get bored shooting at the same place too much. I get bored using the same camera (sigh). I get bored shooting the same theme for too long a period. However, it is not an issue for visiting the same place often to shoot because things change … [Read more…]
Every hobby teaches us something, and change the way we approach matters. Perhaps that’s why during some job interviews, the interviewers like to ask what hobbies we do in our free times. For example, pottery cultivates patience, music encourages innovation and yoga trains your concentration. Photography? Everyone gains different insights from it but for me, … [Read more…]
I have a full-time job, office hour Monday to Friday. If I am very hard working, I can actually wake up at 6am, roam around until it’s time to appear in the office. And also, after work, bring a tripod or flash, roam around until my feet are tired. Unfortunately, I am not like that. … [Read more…]

I was crazy about film cameras a few months back. I looked through e-bay and Carousell every day to find deals. The process was addictive but hurtful. Because superb deal is gone in split second. Although there were a few good deals coming and going, but I couldn’t commit to buy it because my gut … [Read more…]
Recently I have come to realise that the outcome of your analogue film image is very much dependent on the person who does the scan for you. It also depends on the scanner they use. For example, I use a flatbed scanner Epson V600 with the original Epson software. Apparently, it’s not a high-end scanner so … [Read more…]
I love and hate point & shoot film camera. Point & shoot Point & shoot film camera, as the name suggests, is just a film camera that allows you to just point and shoot, without bothering much about exposure setting.
