I am a 42-year old husband and father. I was an avid computer gamer and DOF, F-stops and the like were foreign to me until my wife introduced me to photography.

I began shooting during the latter part of March 2010 and quickly became addicted to it. I started this blog to share my journey and to learn along the way. Special thanks to my wife Eng who encouraged me and to all my friends in Blogosphere who shared their knowledge and taught me to further this craft.

My initial attempt on portrait. I must admit, my knowledge about this field is almost nil.

my 7 year old daughter woke me up this morning, i asked her: "what's the problem?", and she answered: "Daddy, when are you gonna buy me a make-up kit?".

it struck me that my little girl is not a baby any more, i made this video 3 years ago knowing that this day will come.

she is the love of my life really, after 10 years of trying and virtually giving up to have a child, she decided to come into our lives and made us a family.



turn on your audio and enjoy!

dare to be different # 4 - self portrait

hi guys, welcome to another episode of my "dare to be different" series,... and this is my first self portrait.

as i've mentioned previously , this series is my way of being myself in photography. here you can expect something different from what i normally post.

before and after # 3 - the biker



mouse-over the image to view the unedited one. if for some reason the mouse-over is not working you can still view the edited version here and the sooc here.

it was a dull overcast day when this was taken and as expected the original shot was flat.

PP: i worked with the foreground/background and the bike/biker separately, light rendering was also used.

dare to be different # 3 - one hobby, one family

ysabelle, she is also a photography buff and will turn 7 next month. at the moment im teaching her the rule of thirds and basic curves adjustment.

rowena my wife, who convinced me to swap playing PC games to getting involve in photography.
i thought computer games was my life until she introduced me to photography. he! he! he! (in a low husky tone voice)


just look at them, not a bad trade-off for my computer games huh!
