Skyline @ Singapore

I got a chance to take pix of Singapore skyline during my holiday vacation in mid Dec. I've never taken pix of a skyline before this. So this was my opportunity to take some. I took the pix sometime around midnite and after.

Even though I really wanted to take a lot of pics, I just couldn't. Well, of course bcoz of shopping and limited time. Me and my companions went to Sentosa Island but we were really in a hurry and we came late and the weather wasn't good. We also went to snow city but no cameras allowed.

Maybe next time I will try to take pix of skyline during "golden hours". Anyways, I put some pix below:

World AIDS Day 2007

The World AIDS Day 2007 was organised by Brunei's AIDS Council. It was held at ICC, Berakas. The guest of honour was the deputy minister of the Ministry of Health.

This event is to make us remember and be aware that AIDS (or HIV) should not be taken lightly as a normal disease. From the latest statistics, the number of people infected by HIV in Brunei is increasing even though the number is still quite small, which is between 5-10 people this year. Who knows the number may again increase next year.

My biggest challenge was taking pix at low-light areas. There was no other choice than using high ISO settings. I did use the flash but not all the time. Pix without the flash are sometimes better, which also depends on the situations (e.g. distance, etc). Zooming in also causes the aperture to get smaller which means slower shutter speed and arrgghhh....shaky pix. Unless the lens has a fix (largest) aperture and much better if there is Image Stabilisation (IS). But now I can't afford to buy any of them. I should wait for a few years to get one, maybe.

Taking A Break

I haven't updated this site for a few months now. Same goes for my other sites. Just nothing interesting to post here at the moment and no pictures too. Plus, I'm just too lazy and too tired and no time to organize / edit my pix. No idea what pictures I should take too. No progress at all. Well, never mind that. Just check these cool photo sites if you have the time. I found these sites a few months ago anyway.

Komodo Dragon...hehe

I think this belong to 'monitor lizard' or 'komodo dragon' group/family. The name in "Biawak" in malay. I don't know much about animal species or families though. Took some pix of it at my backyard. It was wandering around to get some food. Its favorite food? probably chicken (alive ones hehe). I used my telephoto zoom lens. I'm not sure if its safe to get near to it or otherwise I would lose either my arms or my camera hehe.
