Eiffel Tower View from Place D'Italie Residence Balcony 22 Dec 2014

This is my 2nd time in Paris since more than 14 years ago.

Armed with a DSLR and tripod, I wasn't just gonna take shoddy pictures of the famous Eiffel Tower and blame the poor lighting conditions and bite myself not coming back with sharp pictures of the Tour de Eiffel.

Each time I see these pictures I took, it makes me miss the place,

but strangely at the same time, 

I am also glad I came back with these photos.

Boon Keng, Toa Payoh, Bras Basah Niteshoot 02 Oct 2010

Another late night shoot.

Some close mates are envious of the spare time I have the luxury of owning.
Well, if you restrict the hours of sleep to less than 4 hours each day, you'd probably have the same extra of personal time as me.

In this exercise of chasing the extra time, it'd probably reduce my lifespan due to the irregular sleeping habit so I use it on capturing as much beautiful scenes that my eyes see. A trade off probably.

Most of the pictures below are captured using the Canon EF-S 10-22mm wide angle lens.

This last picture was digitally enhanced with GIMP by using its "unsharp mask" to sharpen the photo..
A bit too excessive, what do you think?

Kallang Overhead Bridge 27 Sept 2010

Late night shooting with Alex, whom suggested to go to an extremely long overhead bridge at Kallang along the PIE, wanting to take long shutter vehicle lights.

All cars slowed down when they noticed 2 jokers with cameras and tripods on the overhead bridge. [ala COP ON TOP with speed cameras ]

This was where we were.

Here are some selected pictures..

This picture was merged using GIMP by superimposing several pictures.
"Unsharp mask" was used to sharpen the final image.

The 2 jokers whom many drivers mistook as cops with speed cameras!

Citylights Bokeh 13th August 2010

Taken at my family's weekend mahjong haunt
[ Auntie Jaey's house at Toa Payoh ]

A magnificent view of the city can be seen from her flat on the 17th storey in Toa Payoh East.

This picture doesn't do justice to her flat's city view but I guess that's what my grandma sees each night, when she sits on her comfort chair at the balcony, without her glasses on.

What is Bokeh? It sounds hokkien!
