Monday, August 2, 2010 at 9:25 AM Fireworks on 31st July
Hello!
Since Junwei and I took the pictures of the fireworks with the wrong settings, we went back on Saturday to try capture the fireworks with the right settings.
Here's what we got.
These are the few clearer pictures that I got. The rest were all damaged by the smoke released by the explosions.
That's all that I have to share right now. For more pictures, you may refer to Junwei's post.
Sunday, August 1, 2010 at 11:54 PM Fireworks 31 July!~
Hello! Yesterday, Malvin and I went to Marina once again to take the pictures of the fireworks! The view was spectacular! We also tried out the setting for taking the fireworks. [1~7sec Shutter, f10 ~ f13 Aperture, ISO 100] These are the results!
However, there are some pictures of the fireworks with too much exposure, for example..
And some with too much smoke!
After the fireworks display, we talked to one of the photographers' there, seeking advice for our pictures, especially those with lots of smoke, and too much exposure. Well, he told us that he's not really professional in it, so he can't really tell us what to do, but he told us about his settings to take the fireworks! He chose to use the mode "Av", instead of "M", and he set his Aperture till the point where the Shutter Speed is around 1 ~ 4 seconds. ISO remain as 100. He also sets the exposure to -2/3, so that it won't be so over-exposed due to the sudden change of light. What an interesting lesson isn't it?!
Lastly, this is where we took the pictures of the fireworks!
Friday, July 30, 2010 at 9:42 AM remove unwanted object
i feel that taking a nice photo required skill but also skill of editing photo. sometimes the background of unwanted object which you don't want to is at the back and can't be remove. so i think timing and angle are necessary skill and also editing skill too. by using the technique of removing object in photoshop it can help you to make it a perfect photo. this is the video i want to show you which can help you to making it a perfect photo . hope that you like it. ">
on the journey back to home and saw beautiful sky which caught my eyes. this is some of the pictures which hope you all like it. xD. i'm using phone to capture the picture so the image focus won't be that good as compared to DSL camera.
Hello!
Recently, I saw this sunset when I was heading home from school.
So I was thinking, "Hey, we should learn how to take pictures of the sunsets too!" Therefore, this blog post is all about taking sunsets!
First, set your ISO to 100, Aperture to the smallest possible value, and lastly, Shutter speed of 1/2000 or 1/3200.
*Note: Get a UV Filter for your lens!!
This video might let you understand more! Do take a look! (:
Have fun! (:

at 3:32 AM Camera Lens Upgrade Option
Hello.
People who buy DSLR cameras usually buy it with kit lenses which dont unleash the camera's full potential.
The main reason is that they are not aware of the models available and the differences in lenses.
Here's a video explaining the differences.
I hope this will give you a better understanding of the different types of camera lenses available should you be considering on buying a DSLR.
Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 10:42 PM Monochrome does the job!
Hello! Sometimes in life, it's better not to be colourful! For instance, taking a picture using Monochrome brings out the feeling too! Here are a few examples.

See the difference? It brings out more feeling than the coloured once. Therefore, the gist of this post, is to take some of the pictures in Monochrome instead of the Standard colours, as one would get bored looking at coloured photos every single time. (:

at 3:15 PM How to photograph fireworks
Hello!
As you may have read from the previous posts, Junwei and I used the wrong settings for the fireworks shot. Being first timers, we didn't know the correct settings and didn't fully capture the fireworks. So I found this video guide on youtube explaning the proper fireworks photography techniques.
I will be going back to Marina with Junwei this coming saturday and we will try out these settings and see how well we capture the fireworks.
Hello! Love the pictures with Motion Effect? No more doubts! It's time to learn them now! :D
Settings: "Tv" Mode. ISO 200. Aperture f5.6
This is what you'll get!
Normally, if you freeze the image..
Settings: "M" Mode, Shutter Speed 1/540, Aperture f5.6, ISO 400
This is what you'll get, but without the "motion effect".
Oh yeah! You must focus on an object in order to do the motion effect! If not, the whole picture will be blurred!
Signing off,
JuNWei.
Tuesday, July 27, 2010 at 10:48 PM MBS with NDP's Fireworks!
Hello! Malvin and I went to MBS to take pictures of the NE Show's Fireworks last saturday! We used 1/40 for the Shutter speed, f8 for Aperture, and ISO 3200. This is what we've got.
After taking, I realized that I had used the wrong settings. @@"
The correct settings should be, Shutter speed around 1 ~ 3 seconds, f8 for aperture and lastly, ISO 100. This would give the beautiful effects for the fireworks display.
Don't worry! We're going to try it out again this Saturday! :D Do follow us with our updates! Kthxbai.
at 6:00 PM How to take action shots with blurred backgrounds
Hello!
With the F1 night race coming to Singapore in September, some of you will surely want to take some pictures of the fast moving cars. Here's a video guide showing you how to take photos just as good as the professionals.
Here are the steps required:
1: Switch your camera to Shutter Priority mode by turning the mode dial to ‘S’ or on Canon models, ‘Tv’.
2: Choose a slower shutter speed which will blur the action. 1/60 is a good starting point.
3: Follow the subject through the viewfinder as you take the picture. Make sure you keep moving the camera as you press the button.
4: If the background isn’t sufficiently blurred, choose a slower shutter, such as 1/30 or 1/15. If the action is too blurred, choose a faster shutter like 1/125.
Take note:
If your camera or lens has anti-shake facilities, they might get confused by the panning motion. Some models have a special setting for panning. Other, newer models, can automatically detect panning. Check your manual, but if yours has neither, it’s best to switch the anti-shake off while taking these kind of photos.
Have fun snapping some photos while trying this out.
i found this website where you can find all range of camera review, price. if you intend to buy camera, go and have a look of the budget camera that you want. this will help you to choose the correct type camera camera for professional or casual use.

Sunday, July 25, 2010 at 1:29 AM Fireworks on 24th July
Hello Guys!
Junwei and I decided to go take some photos of the fireworks for NDP!
Initially, we wanted to take pictures from the Helix Bridge but when we arrived there, we found that the bridge had been blocked for the YOG competitors. So we decided to walk through MBS to find another location. We walked aimlessly (taking some photographs on the way) till we reached an area by the river with very little people. So we set up our tripod stands and took pictures of the fireworks and also some other stuff we found there. Enjoy the pictures.
Misty Lights
Central Business District
View of Skypark from where we were standing.
Singapore Flyer
After taking the photos, we realised that we had used the wrong settings for the fireworks. So we will be going back next week to try and take better pictures. Stay tuned.
For those of you who want to know exactly where we were and wish to go there to take some pictures, here's a map.
