Finally, it snowed in December, never expect it to snow in London during my short trip back to London.

Some shots outside my place.

It is 3AM in UK now and I am still not asleep yet. I’m in one of the hotels in Bristol. It’s one of the coolest place I have stayed in. Just imagine that there is a 24″ iMac in every guest room! Maybe it doesn’t bother you much. Anyway, I am writing this from my own mac that I brought along.

A few things happened today, my manfrotto tripod has been stolen when me and my girlfriend were on the train to Bristol to visit one of her good friends. This great tripod has been serving me for about 2 years. Very sturdy and it works great when it comes to night shots. I hope the person who took it actually knows what it is for and does not mistake it for a coat hanger or something.haha.

Anyway, just some updates, me and my girlfriend went to Munich, Germany last weekend. It was quite a nice German city compared to Berlin, we had all sorts of German wurst (sausages) and pork knuckles almost everyday. Will post some photos soon.

I think its time for bed now, otherwise I think I’ll miss tomorrow’s breakfast at the restaurant in the lobby. I will update my blog more often! haha I hope I am able to keep my promises this time haha.

Oh by the way, my family adopted a new puppy! Its a ‘golden labrador’. I’ll just show one photo of her now.

I was out with a few friends last weekend. The main purpose of this outing was for photoshooting, but somehow we ended up watching a movie. Well, overall it was still great. I managed to take a few photos around KL city centre.

It was really a short and quick one as most of us were very hungry after the movie. So food was the only thing we had in mind.

The evening blue sky of Kuala Lumpur will look like this most of the time.

This is Pavilion in case you guys couldn’t recognise it.

It is actually very rare to see people using the zebra crossing. Probably they were all tourists

Malaysia is well known for its humidity and warm weather. Yes, HOT and WET.

When it comes to nightscape I always love to capture any sources of lights for example signboards, street lights, moonlight, etc.

These are the Kuala Lumpur city taxis. You should be able to see them almost everywhere except maybe the airport.

Enjoy and feel free to drop some comments

Last Saturday, I was at Lake Garden for this “No Chimping Outing”. Just for your info, no chimping means you are not allowed to look at your camera’s LCD to preview your shots. Also, we are only allowed to use a fixed ISO, a fixed focal length (preferably prime lens) and manual mode instead of the usual P – programmable, A – aperture priority or S – shutter priority.

Here are some shots with my 85mm f/1.8.

Some stairs in the playground.

Trying out some shots with limited depth-of-field (DOF).

This is why weather plays an important role in your outdoor shooting. Notice the darker area on the left?

So, I have to look for a shot with even lighting.

Blindly adjust to a bigger aperture and this is the outcome

I know it has been awhile since my last update. I get pretty busy when I am back in Malaysia compared to when I am in London. Anyway, enjoy

Can you guys guess where is this? I am sure if you look carefully you will definitely know where this is.

This photo was taken awhile ago when I had an outing with my friend. I don’t normally bring my camera around these places and even if my camera was with me, I would still leave it in my bag as the area isn’t too safe to do that. (Correct me if I am wrong)

However, when I saw the amazing reflection on the windows of the buildings I just couldn’t help it.
