To all ye who want to paint with light ...

I should have started this blog many moons ago as I started experiencing the joys of rediscovering the art of photography. But as the saying goes - it's better late, than never!
So, here I am, in the hopes of recording what I learn as I progress from ignorance to enlightenment; about what my eyes can see that my camera can capture; and, what my mind imagines and my camera paints with its capabilities.

Please feel free to add any comments and share your wisdom (tips or tricks) that you have picked up along the way.

And do check out my How-To and Birding pages as well.

Day 74 - Night lights across the river

I didn't get very good shots this evening.  I didn't have my tripod and I'd just gone out to get a breath of fresh air after dinner.  I had to crank up the ISO very high since I had to hand hold the shot, but of course there's still a lot of camera shake besides a lot of noise in the picture.  Doing some night lights is on my agenda, but not quite sure when exactly that's going to happen.

And I also happened to notice the bugs on treetops when I was snapping the moon.

Day 61 - Cumin flavoured rice

I didn't have a chance to post anything for the last couple of days as I've been down with a really bad cold. It's a rare occasion when I will just not be able to drag myself out of bed, and this was one of those.  But the couple of times I forced myself to get out of bed yesterday, I tried a few experiments with the camera settings.  No, you guessed right!  My camera is never far from my mind or my bedside.

The cumin rice I made on Saturday was for a special reason which I won't go into at this time.  However, here are a couple of shots.  Handheld, under florescent lighting, not exactly the best but then lately my shots have been pretty blah.  I'll wait for when I feel better to start weekly themes.  I have a few going on in my head, but would welcome suggestions on them.
