When you were young - reminiscence of the olden days

Back to my routine - walking around the city taking pictures. This time the destination is Arab Street and the surroundings. I used to go to this place often but that time I don't have a DSLR. So after a long delay, I finally go to this place again.

I know there are a lot of interesting shop around this place but i always go at night so most of them are closed. So this time I got a chance to see them during the daytime.

One more thing, I went to the Little Children Museum. It is very small and you have to pay S$2. Nothing much to see but some of the stuffs are quite interesting - remind me of my childhood ^^

Please bring me home

What is a Vespa doing in a children museum??


Bla.. bla.. bla...

OK, bear with me.
This one going to be a long post. And it is the word not the photo.
So let's start.

When I bought my camera I was thinking of buying 500D but after thinking of it and discussing with a friend I decided to buy a 40D. It is a good buy and I never regret it. My friend said once you buy your DSLR, then there goes the money. Filters, lenses, tripod, etc, etc, etc.. But that only happens when you are really particular about your gadget. He said there are some photographers very particular about the sharpness in the image. They can zoom in to 100% just to see if the image is sharp or not. See the noise, etc... Crazy?? I thought so too that time.

Guess what. In few months (to be exact, 4 months after I bought my camera) I turn to be like that. I am not happy if my image is not sharp. Not happy with too much noise. And the best part not happy if my image is a bit slanted (I know can correct it in Photoshop, but it still not perfect since it is done after the image is taken). He said a bit slanted is very wrong, but slanted a lot is a style - I agree with this.

Well.. enough nagging. Guess I have to practice more if I hate those problem. Hopefully will take better images from now on. Oh yea don't worry, below still have the photos. And YES!! I am also not happy with them.


Hideaway in the City

One more thing. Though all my photos are crappy, all were shot by me. So please don't use it without my permission. I remember all my photos ok..

UP!!

This one is a delayed post. All the photos have been in my laptop since few weeks back but I guess I am too busy doing nothing or maybe too tired after the trip to take these photos. I can tell you, Old School is a nice place to take photo but the trip day is really a pain. Try to climb the staircase there any you will say the same thing. I wondered how my friend manage to work there and have to climb the staircase everyday. Anyway it is a good exercise to keep you in shape. Well at least keep your leg in shape ^^
