Munich in Full Bloom

Posted by Chee Wei On July - 28 - 2009 5 COMMENTS

Munich isn’t just a city of steel and concrete. Here’s why…

Tulips in Marienplatz, Munich

Tulips just remind me of my Amsterdam trip to the world’s largest flower garden. They are just amazing eh…

She just couldn’t resist having a photo with these beautiful tulips. In fact, more than one photo :)

These tulips are planted all around the city. They come in all shapes, sizes and of course COLOURS.

No Chimping Photo Outing

Posted by Chee Wei On September - 17 - 2008 ADD 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.

Lake Garden, KL - Stairs

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 :)

The World’s Largest Flower Garden

Posted by Chee Wei On September - 4 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

I know it has been quite awhile since my last post. That’s because I was busy with work and preparing for my trip back to Malaysia again! Yes I am back in Malaysia now. With family and so many friends here, it makes it even impossible to update my blog.

Will try to plan a couple of trips to places like Hong Kong and Singapore before I am back to London.

Anyway, here are the photos of the world’s largest flower garden, Keukenhof Park, Holland.

All photos were taken with Nikon D70s, in case some of you might want to know :)

Keukenhof Park - Amsterdam

The flowers in Keukenhof Park are mainly tulips.

The best time to visit this park would be around mid of March til mid April. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to see the tulips.

Keukenhof Park actually exports tulips to all over the world. You will see it shortly below.

The entirely park is just so beautiful, just imagine the park near you but its covered with tulips.

That is definitely one beautiful tree. Rarely see that colour elsewhere.

Purple, Red, yellow, green…. you name it….

This is one of the main canals that is used to water the flowers.

There is a Japanese garden too.

Flowers, trees, water and sunshine, what more you can ask for?

This is where they plant all the tulips. However, it is not accessible to tourist so we can only see from the other side of the canal.

Hope you guys enjoy :)

A peek at daisies

Posted by Chee Wei On May - 9 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

More photos of tiny daisies. They are only the size of a one pound or a riggit coin.

I decided that shooting from a lower angle could be better, so I got down on to the grass and frame these beautiful daisies.

When you have so many choices you just couldn’t decide which shoot first.

Thousands of daisies

Found some nice one over here.

Hope you enjoy the daisies :)

What is a proper spring season?

Posted by Chee Wei On May - 8 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Finally, we are now getting a proper sunny weather after weeks of horrible Spring Season (March – May) with just rain and gloomy weather.

Daisies during Spring Season

Almost everyday I’ll take this shortcut route which will pass through a residential area to get my lunch. It has always been just a green empty patch of ground until couple of days ago. I just realised the daisies and it is so beautiful. The next day, I couldn’t resist and ended up bringing my camera to work. Bear in mind that my camera + laptop = very heavy. Anyway, I think it’s worth the trouble :) Enjoy.

Daisy?

Posted by Chee Wei On March - 28 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

I think this should be a daisy, if I’ve not mistaken! haha. Double checked. Thanks to google.

Saw this when I was going through some of the photos I took last year in London’s Regent Park.
