I’ve always wondered what’s it like inside the cute FDC01 toy digital camera and since my fingers were pretty itchy today … I decided to carefully open up the camera to peek inside. It wasn’t hard at all, with all the 4 screws securing the outer ‘casing’ easily accessible on both the sides.Within seconds, the ... 
After some initial test with my DSLR, I decided to try out the Lensbaby Soft Focus Optic (SFO) on my cheap old film SLR. I know that the Lensbaby lenses can work very well on that SLR but I was a little worried about the metering when using the SFO. This is because of the ... 
The day Fitzand had been waiting for! The kiddos were having their first cooking lesson at the childcare today and ‘on the menu’ today … hamburger! I love burgers! So we happily went for the class at 930am and as usual … some parents will slowly waltz in with their kiddos … late. Duh.After getting ... 
Another lovely Sunday spent with my family. Woke up early to bring Fitzand to the park for his regular run/cycle outing before settling down for breakfast. Fingers felt a little itchy, so I brought along my Harinezumi 2 for some random video captures. Unfortunately the rechargable battery was a little cranky … it suddenly died ...
Came back from a week-long trip to Malaysia last night. Spent 5 days in Kuala Lumpur before heading down to Johor to visit my parents for the next few days. Those days in Kuala Lumpur were crazy. Just too busy eating, drinking and some shopping. I didn’t really shoot much photos except some snapshots of ...
Here are the rest of the photos from that roll in the Fisheye2 that Fitzand shot. Not all are self portraits by him though. There are a few of them that I took … and some went into the trash bin because of under exposure. Haiks. Guess I’ll try faster film next time. The ringflash ...
For those here in Singapore who are about to pick up some new cameras/film & stuffs … here’s a piece of good news. One year ago … I blogged about walking into this big trap cool shop called ThirtySix at Sunshine Plaza on their opening day and come 16th October 2010 … they are celebrating ...
The Lensbaby’s ‘Get Appy!’ contest results is finally out! The contest was about submitting designs and sample photos of our own custom aperture discs and (as usual) at the last minute … I managed to do up a simple aperture disc design and took some test shots for submission. I didn’t want something ‘too clean’, ... 
After a very short stay with me, the Lumix FT1 camera was sold off because I somehow find the photos from it … horrible. Not sure if I got a lemon unit but the photos from it doesn’t seem to be of any good. Considering my already very low requirements from a compact camera, that ... 
I can hardly remember when I loaded this roll of Solaris 100 into my Lomo LC-A+ but I do remember letting Fitzand play (aka take photos) with the camera loaded for a couple of months already. Very often when he comes into my study room and sees the camera, he’ll reach out for it and ... 
It wasn’t long ago that I did this interview with Catherine who runs a photography website (in French) … mostly about those ‘dressed up’/customized Holga cameras I used to do. Looking back … it has been a long long while since I’ve worked on any new design for the Holga cams and I promise myself ... 
My favourite ‘model’ is actually a big photography lover himself. Brought my family out for some Xmas shopping today and before we left home … Fitzand told me that he wanted to bring his camera along. I was a little worried when he said ‘my camera’. Why? Hahaha. It was not too long ago that ... 
Here’s a roll from my collaboration with Fabienne Elisabeth from France … that took almost forever. Haha! I’ve been sitting on the rolls she sent me (no … don’t try to joke about the rolls being flat!) and got to shoot them only during the weekends. Unfortunately one of the roll somehow got screwed up ... 
I’ve had this roll of Natura 1600 film in my Klasse W for a really long time and in it were a few shots taken during my Hong Kong trip some many months back! Gosh! Since I was dropping by the lab today, I finished the last 3 shots from the roll and popped it ... 
After a long absence from shooting 120 film, this roll of Agfa Portrait 160 loaded into my Holga was supposed to be a ‘welcome’ ; back for me into the world of medium format. I’ll be shooting much more using 120 film come 2010. What was supposed to be a few rolls of images shot in ... 
Christmas is over? That’s what I thought until I went down to ThirtySix to collect my ‘girls’ after the recent Diana F+ showcase there. I went home … opened up the box … and in it was something I don’t remember passing to them. It was a box … sized like a normal Diana one ... 
Something shocking happened during my trip to Taiwan recently. I opened up my camera bag … removed the back from my Diana F+ and … OMG!!! I forgot to bring along an empty 120 spool and also the bottom plate that holds the roll of film in place! I removed it to install the instant ... 
The Bronica ETRSi has always been one of the camera I wanna lay my hands on to have a feel on how to operate such a camera. Recently a reasonably priced one came along and I grabbed it to have some medium format fun. It came with a 75mm f2.8 lens as well as the ... 
It was perhaps a few years ago when I traded a Seagull TLR with a friend’s Fujifilm FP-14. That cool, big and cool looking passport camera was given to him by someone and he didn’t see much use in it … so we traded. After that … I used it only a couple of times ... 
‘You are #1!!!’ … that’s what Fitzand told me when I asked what this (pic below) thingie he made for me at the childcare was for. Well I know it is for Father’s Day and I was just testing him … but he kept saying (loudly!) … ‘You are #1!!!’. The funny thing was that ...
