Shooting Digitals

Photography was a hobby of mine which has seen major downtime the past year. I used to bring my digital camera wherever I go, wary that any moment, the "shot of a lifetime" could materialize within view. Sort of, my ticket to being a Nat-Geo wildlife photographer.

But I was rather slow on the trigger. And I sometimes mix up my ISOs and aperture settings, resulting in a Salvador Dali-ish photo. That, or a shot that would make Picasso proud. My macro shots are, well, macaronic and hard to describe.

Why do I wax lyrical about photography so suddenly? Well, my hard drive crashed yesterday, and til now, I have yet to make a full recovery of its contents. It is still accessible, thank goodness, but it was a scare of epic proportions. My family's photos, my travel journal (lucky me for having been to a few interesting places), food pics, and others are stored in this drive. I've made a mental note to get a new hard disk over the weeken and start archiving all my important stuff.

Sample three of the photos I've taken (from my backup) here in Singapore, one of which shows the CBD skyline during the day and one showing it's night view.

 

Here's another one taken during the eve of Hari Raya in Geylang Serai:
