Atbara House - 1898

That's the name of the former French Embassy and the year it was built, which I managed to take a photo of many months back when I went there one of the Sundays.Seeing those pictures in Flickr, I now have further inspiration to relive those pics by processing them into my neater, yet more professional photoframe.The festive season may be around the corner, but I am still captivated by these abandoned places around the country. Take for example, Neo Tiew estate, which had been abandoned since 1989 or so, with it's ungazetted area, makes welcome...

I had done up most of the pics taken for CNY 2011, just to capture more pics from more places where the festive season can be felt....

Festivals - Chinese New Year 2011

My CNY 2011 collection had been done up pretty quickly ever since I took time to collect those pics over the weekend.  There are still a few more places where I should capture the shots; Chinatown, Tampines Mall, Singapore River and the rest will be places I can find. Just wondering how I can get a definite sharp pic in manual mode especially for those shots which involve heavy movement of subject, without flash?  That was what I had been known for: Flashless shooter - producing images in premium quality without the usage of flas...
