Waiting for the Sunset

February 8th, 2007

This photo was taken at the Racha Resort where Nick and I spent our honeymoon. We were just enjoying the sunset while most visitors had gone back to their villas to get ready for dinner. I thought that was the most beautiful time of the day. It’s not that I don’t enjoy blue sky with sunshine, I just love sunset more. No words can describe the intense fiery colors at sunset. So I’d rather snap it with my camera and remember it forever.

ADIDAP - All Day I Dream About Photography

February 6th, 2007

One of my passion is photography, and when I came across a good photography site, I like to share it with my readers. ADIDAP - All Day I Dream About Photography is a good place to get photography ideas, tips and resources. Techniques such as selective color effect in black and white photos and transforming an image to a painting are commonly adopted by professional photographers, and they do wonders to your photographs. Antoine Khater, the author of ADIDAP, provided step-by-step tutorials on how to add those effects to your photos using Photoshop. Give them a try and see how you like them.

Love is in the Air

December 10th, 2006

I’m not very good at people shots because I think it’s the hardest thing to do. It’s difficult to capture people in their most natural and unpretentious state. However, I thought this one did a decent job of presenting a moment of two people in love and mostly unaware of the photographer. Right before the sunset, most tourists have gone back to their lodges. Nick spotted this cute Thai couple on the beach. Based on their body language, we could tell love was the air. I immediately took out the camera and snapped away from the distance.

A Day at Karon Beach, Phuket, Thailand

December 7th, 2006

Just another day of sun tanning at Karon Beach, Phuket. I couldn’t help taking a few shots while Nick was in the water. It was taken from the distance with an interchangeable Zuiko Digital 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 lens. I used sports mode, which allowed me to shoot at a fast shutter speed without blur. This is one of my favorite.

Being an Amature Photographer

November 17th, 2006

Sometimes, I think I might have been a photographer if I never made it to the programming world. I just love travelling and taking shots of just about anything. I used an Olympus E-500 digital SLR with a 14-45mm wide zoom lens and a 40-150mm telephoto lens for our honeymoon photos. I’m still new to using SLR cameras, but thanks to the beautiful scenery in Thailand. Some photos are amazing, left us with unforgettable memories of our trip.
