Discovery of old Mitre Hotel's location

It's finally found.

Location of the place is at 145 Killiney Road 239565, which I can't see anything from the map yet.  Will need to set foot on the place to see how it is now.

Chartis YEP 2010@Zirca

Armed with SB-800 on my D300S, it was the perfect armament for my first event shoot at Zirca, the year end party held by my ex employer.  Being a non-employee with them now, I had to await for entrance after 10pm.

Shutter Trail - the continuation

The morning had been occupied with photo editing as I have changed my watermark to something more complicated, chaotic, which represents the true nature of myself.

Will be revising all the photoworks that I will be uploading in Facebook and Flickr, as most of them are oversized, resulting in my watermark being too tiny to be seen.

Dearie had rested well, and could tell from her morning voice that she's still sleepy and like to plaster herself more to her comfy bed in the airconditioned room; something which I've been deprived for the past 5 years or so, ever since the dinosaur unit broke down in my room.

The sun out there is sunny, definitely a good day to go out for shoots since I'm already on track on the Shutter Trail.

Let me finish the as much as I can before getting ready for the weekend outdoor shots.

Abandoned Places: Even further reading

Have further refined on the location of the Saudi Embassy in Nassim Road; according to Gavin.

After reading further about the abandoned house in Kampong Glam, it spurred me to read further and came across Pin Guan Hotel, which is located near Rangoon Road.   A real old hotel of the 1930s which look really pre-war state; wonder if it's still there as a thread I read suggested the pic was taken in 2005.

Location is described as "Pin Guan Hotel is located near Owen Road; near Race Course Road; near Worcester Road"

Hope it's still there.

Processing - the continuation

I have managed to do some decent processing of the pics taken at Mt Emily - it has been themed with an eerie green glow considering the dilapidation of the place.  Looking forward to be going there for a shoot in the day again on my off days; there are still more pics to be taken at that place.

More works to be done as I need more time to process the handful of that day's shots.

The contemplation of Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM

After many days of skimming through lenses, it still looks more economical to import the Sigma lens from Tin Cheung, as it is much cheaper despite being a grey set...but I have to personally test the lens before deciding if it delivers the desired results.

Looking forward to this Sat's shoot at Dempsey Hill.
