Wedding at The Sentosa

In between takes, I had the opportunity to capture the bride and Groom on my Alpha 350.


Déjà vu.

God added: "This is the sign that I am giving for all ages to come, of the covenant between me and you and every living creature with you: I set my bow in the clouds to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
- Gen 9:12-13

Up from a knoll or a soon-to-be look out point is the kelong undisturbed. How peacefully tranquil such mornings are!

Gastro-photography

My first Basic Food Photography class pushed me to use my manual mode on the Alpha. It wasn't easy going the first time round, but after the 2nd item was photographed, it got a lot easier.

The course was conducted by Bene Tan who owns a home studio at Bedok Reservoir. The two hour session was one of the best courses I've ever attended and the low student teacher ratio assure the attention I needed.

I'm ready to shoot food now! :O)

Alpha 350

I ordered the Sony Alpha 350 for Imaginative today. It was a long and tedious decision to make with so many things to acquire for the company. It'll be my first DSLR. The lens I ordered is a Sony lens SAL1825 (18-250mm F3.5 – 6.3 ). It's affordable, and is deemed a traveller's companion. I look forward to posting more images here and the other blogs.

Healing Touch

My other photo that won me a consolation prize is of a young Sister who is praying for a child who is suffering from malnutrition in the Pleiku highlands just north of Ho Chi Minh.

Be My Baby

I received a pleasant surprise in my mailbox just awhile back that a photo of mine had won 2nd place in the ACMA (Archdiocesan Commission for Missionary Activity) Mission Photo Contest and I thought to myself, wouldn't this be a great blog launch post?

The rules for the competition were simply that the photos were to be taken within a two year time frame. Fortunately, I blogged while on mission in Hué (Vietnam) last year because I hadn't many photos left from an external hard disk failure several months back. This image was taken when I was documenting the work of the Daughters of the Immaculate Mary (FMI) in Ho Chi Minh.

Titled "Be My Baby", it shows an elderly nun tenderly watching over an orphan.
