I was at someplace really high up. Really really high, I will let these photos do the talking for me.
It was rather difficult to shoot through glass as there were some reflection.
Anyway it has been an exciting and tiring weekend. Time to get back to work again tomorrow and start working hard again!
No, the alien is not CJ7 nor is it really an alien but rather 2,202,060 living organisms residing within the many keys of my trust old keyboard. I say it is old as I bought it since I was in uni which was way back in 2002. That means my keyboard is about 6 years old.
I took an online quiz about the “health status” of my keyboard and here are the results.
2,202,060
Definitely not something that I was hoping for but it sort of hit me that I better start cleaning my keyboard real soon. The amount of effort I put into cleaning my PC components aren’t really a high on my priority list but after reading about this tragic incident, and watching this amazing series, things just happen.
Anyway here is a picture of my current keyboard.
Of course there will be a close up shot as well.
Anyway I was just kidding about this being my keyboard. Mine is black and the key layout is completely different from what we usually get from Lowyat as mine has the UK layout version.
Notice that the “@” sign and the “” symbols are swapped? Yeah I get confused ALL the time.
Anyway, enough ranting. I need a good nights rest after a long day at work and cell group at church.

It is so true that practice makes perfect. I really need to find the time to practice shooting a lot more often. Although I have been shooting during weekends, but that is only a small amount compared to the real amount I should be shooting.
Tomorrow, I shall start bringing my camera about and start shooting a little more. Over the weekend I shot someone’s profile photo and I will share them in another post (coming soon) but as I do a lot more post processing, I learned that when the model gets impatient, I get impatient and try to take shots very quickly so that they don’t feel too tired. In the end, I ended up with more shots that aren’t useable (badly composed, exposed incorrectly and sometimes even blur).
One of the things I do learn from my golf lessons is to actually be a little bit more patient. So I do definitely have to make sure that I be a little more patient with my shot, my composition and the way I position myself so that I get everything right on camera and not have to waste so much time post processing those shots.
Anyway I am just ranting away because I was supposed to bring my camera to the office today to do a little bit of shooting during lunch time but I forgot because I rushed out of the house. Maybe I can bring it to cell group tonight to get a couple of shots of the cell group. Sounds like a plan to me!
Upcoming for the next three weeks will be two wedding shoots and a portraiture shoot. I am so looking forward to all of them especially the one next week where I will be travelling down to Singapore to shoot my uni mate’s wedding. But for now, I shall concentrate on the one this weekend at Banker’s Club. I will be shooting with Grace of Integricity Visuals and I hope to put in at least 10% of what I learned over at Louis’ workshop.
Yes, I am taking baby steps and applying my newly imparted knowledge in every shoot. And to help me improve, I am looking for any couples who would like to have a portraiture shoot. I already have a couple of my friends lined up (see its good to have a friend who is a photographer) who want to have a shoot and it is priced at a very low price. Very very low. Of course this is all subject to a few terms and conditions. If you want to know more, do check out my contact details on my online portfolio.
Until then…
Screamed the title of a superb movie, well not exactly the title but just the subtitle. After watching it last night, I felt that this was one of the better Marvel movies that was showed on the big screen. The awesome portrayal of Tony Stark as the eccentric billionaire played by Robert Downey Jr.
The movie started off with how Tony Stark who was the owner of Stark Industries whose father was one of the creators of the atomic bomb, became who he was. Now manufacturing high tech weaponry for the US government, he later realises that his deeds has returned to haunt him.
After being captured by militants and held in captivity for 3 months, in that period, Tony saw a lot of things that made him change and he returned not as an eccentric billionaire but as a changed man. Well he was still rather eccentric.
The things I love about this movie was the great balance between the action scenes, great special effects and the witty humour (not the same lame type from Spiderman or Fantastic Four). Frankly, among all of the other Marvel movies, this has to be one of my favourite ones. Ironically since Ironman is one of the heroes which doesn’t really have any super powers.
