This post is all with my first lens! the 18-55.

Is of chiek qu (pronunciation, not actual name.)

I've always liked silhouettes.

This one seems a tad off.
From trip to local "chinese" garden with cousin gabriel.

This be even worse.

unintended pano

went sightseeing with my relatives, and i took a series of pictures.
and out came this (click! large version!)

(retouched with photoshop, like i said, it was unintended. no tripod, no alignment, just similar matching landscapes)

WALLPAPER!!!

lol bugis.

wow 2 posts in 1 day.
but nahh, both suck.
just came back from dinner, bugis lighting is awesome.
but only got a few shots.

ceiling deco.some sale.

remarkably chinatown like.

make a wish!

when bored..

find something to do. couldn't go out, only have 18-55 f3.5-5.6.
therefore, shoot in garden.

cant get really good landscape (at least not where i am), so go small.

looking in flower pot.looking over nearer to the center of the flower pot. (darn where's the other shot.. update later)

tools of the earth

landscape and portrait.

overexposed i think. or maybe i should have taken HDR. or not. but i like the effect.

small garden mayhaps.

stoning.

nice wallpaper. larger version below.

this looked nicer when i shot it. darn.

A leaf and a branch in the picture.
The question is..

one day, i will hunt for textures.
