Street Photography is an Experience

No – this is a picture of a street, it’s more of a landscape than street photography. Haha…

Street photography is a thrilling art.

A moment can make or break you. A single hesitation or unpreparedness could spell the difference between a shot taken, or lost – for a moment, once gone, can never be repeated.

Taking to the streets to take photos of urban life, people and the goings-on of city living has been one that I have always wanted to try ever since I learned about it. I never got the opportunity, however, to experience going on a photo walk with a group of photographers to help build up my courage.

That Photo Not Taken

When I was young, and only had a tiny point-and-shoot camera at my disposal, there was this one event that I really wanted to take a photo of, but hesitated.

And now, I regret not being able to take it.

How Editing Helps to Enhance Photos

I am usually uncomfortable showing work-in-progress things, but this is essential for my point. Hahaha…

As part of my return to visual media, I have been re-sharpening my photo-editing skills. There are a lot one can learn from the internet now. It also helps when you follow a handful of photographers and film makers on youtube.

In any case, above is a photo of a bunch of benches after a light rain. The top picture is the original, out-of-the-camera image. The bottom is after a bit of editing.

Fiddling Around With Photography

Paul Percy Harris Bust

With my wife diving into her vlog production more recently because we have more free time, I have rekindled my love for photography.

Armed with my Fujifilm Superzoom, which I had with me since 2014 (yeah, it’s old), and my iPhone, I have been taking photos whenever I can.

The 2011 post

It’s my first post for the year!

Now, let’s see if I can make something special out of it…

The year started off pretty well.  I got some great photos during the fireworks display on New Year’s.  I was pretty proud of myself when I was able to capture the timing right.

The shutter clicked as soon as the bright fireworks exploded simultaneously.

Deathscythe Fun

I managed to obtain the Gundam Deathscythe 1/100 HG model today.  Although I was not yet able to completely assemble the unit, heck I only managed to build these few parts for I was already tired and sleepy when I began building.

Though if it were up to me, and not the time, I would have finished, or tried to finish everything in one go.

However, since I began with the weapons – to give myself a feeling of accomplishment, I tried to use it as a prop for my existing Gyan 1/160 scale model – which is from the original Mobile Suit Gundam series.

Here are a few shots taken:

Yeah…

Nothing makes one feel like an awesome blogger when he can’t post regularly, eh? [/sarcasm]

Well, things have been a busy, well, ok, very busy, but I know that ain’t much of an excuse…

Christmas is this Saturday, and I’m glad that I’ll have a few days off from work.

I still have a cold, and my voice sounds awful.

I uploaded a few photographs in our facebook page.  If you got the time, drop by.  I hope  you find some interesting stuff in there.

Well, that’s all for now.  See you around.
