I was recently asked to shoot for an ROM of Nachu & Meiyappan. I've done wedding shots before but this is my first time shooting for an ROM. What's more, the couple are Indians, so I have a lack of understanding of their culture and procedure during the ROM. If you ask me, sure it's a challenge, but I'm prepared for it. A few days before this ROM, I attended a seminar …

Many Singaporeans never realize, but actually our iconic Marina Bay is a very beautiful sight. Let's put it straight, if it ain't beautiful, why would almost every tourist take the effort to drop by for sightseeing? However, I spoke to many local Singaporeans and not many people appreciate the beauty of our Singapore landscape. They normally say "Aiya, Merlion never see … 
What is Dynamic Range? Dynamic range in our everyday lives, is the difference between the darkest and the brightest part of our vision that we can see. Dynamic range is working in our everyday lives. For example, have you ever walked into a dark room, and found yourself temporary blinded by the dark for a short time? It's because the darkness of the room exceeds our dynamic … 
So why HDR? A HDR photo offers a much higher dynamic range as compared to a regular photo. Take for example, a EOS 7D has a dynamic range of 11.7EV. HDR effectively increases this to 17.7EV, a 51% increase! But HDR doesn't come as easy as a flick of a button. Firstly, the settings have to be right, and then comes the post processing on the computer. With more people opting … 
I've not been to a cosplay event for about 2 years, because: 1) I'm not that into portrait photography. 2) I don't know when the next cosplay event is coming until it is over. 3) DOWNTOWN EAST IS FREAKING FAR FROM MY HOME. But, being free, bored, invited, and accompanied by friends, I decided to go down and have a look. It's no much different from the event two years ago, … 
During my time in Guilin, China, I visited one of the many villages hidden in the mountains. Although the village is designed as a tourist attraction, it was still rather rundown. Toilet facilities are still as bad, the roads not paved, and the buildings made out of wood. The view was fantastic, I must say, and I like the rural feeling of the whole area. What had not changed … 
Last month, somewhere around the end of December, I went on a trip to Guilin, China, with my family. I've long heard about the awesome, one of it's kind, hills and rivers in Guilin, and be …

Getting the right exposure Getting the right exposure for a picture is like filling up a cup of water. Think of aperture as a tap, shutter speed as the amount of time the cup is under the tap collecting water, ISO as the cup, and light as water. You want to fill your cup just right (right exposure), as too little water (underexposed), or too much water (overexposed) in your … 
I've taken this photo for over a year, but when I first attempted to Photoshop the pictures, it was an epic fail. So the photo was just in my computer waiting for magic to happen. A year later, while I was bored at home, I decided to search for HDR photos in my computer, so I could practice some HDR processing techniques that I picked up over the last year. And this was my …
