The Great Ocean Road.

hi again,

i guess it's time to get in touch with photog again after exams :) got some pretty nice shots today from the great ocean road trip. funnily, they're taken from my awesome canon digi cam instead of the SLR. lost touch, me thinks.

the arch.

the twelve apostles. too saturated though.

the award winning shot for today. cant remember where this was :)

taa.

Brisbane

My gear has been left rotting in my wardrobe. Skills are a lil dusty too.

The two pics are just out of pure luck. Not very impressive anyway :(

Ducks @ University of Queensland

Reflections.

From Phillip Island, With Love.

My camera has been rotting for a few months and i reckon/truly believe that my pre-self-acquired photog skills have gone down the drain.

Nevertheless, people get lucky sometimes and...yeah I had a few lucky shots today! :)

As usual, my pics are usually environment-themed.

Had a cool animal pic though!

Enjoy, and let me know if u like it!

18 yr old koala with her joeyyy! Koalas usually live up to 16 yrs old but....this is a grandma! :)

lucky shot cos d joey is not SLEEPING. LOL!

p.s. the 50mm works again!

i kinda like the light blue patches here and there. However, horizon is not straight....sigh.

just like the feel of this pic :)

till next time!

Winterland.

mt buller in winter!
not many pics cos i was too busy snow fighting with everyone! XD

or a picture on a book cover =)
taken using my canon 1000D.

DIGITAL CAM. not too bad rite?

Scenes from Flagstaff, Melbourne

pics are from my 50mm =)
its getting closer to what i have in mind but....i need fresh ideas!

tried something new this time by inserting words into pictures. it makes the picture speak louder i think. looks more professional too? you judge.





my favourite picture of the day.






really love the lighting of this pic.





rose. i pretty much screwed up the font of d words. eeeeh.




my least favourite. wanted the purple to be more prominent but....fail. style is the same as d rose before...cos i forgot to change the focus. DENG.

yup, i love taking flowers =)

oh, before i forget,
i would like to thank WOO YUEN CHERN for being such a kind soul for being our driver, forking out money for our meals, burning his petrol, being such a cool tour guide, depriving his sleep to entertain us providing awesome accomodation with super comfy beds and bringing us around penang =)

i can never be a better guide than him. HEHEHE.

till then, toods! =)
