Bottoms-up at Little India...


Light from heaven illuminating a workshop...


No pain, no gain...

A tedious climb on a gangway to start the day...

Unlocking his bike at the start of the day...

An Indian national proud to be employed and definitely walking tall...

melbourne girl says hello


haji lane is always a special place


mum had a great spa day. relaxing on her birthday. we all deserve a treat.
a lil' break from it all. we owe ourselves at least that much.


the annual mooncake festival is always special to me. something about a full moon
that makes us all have a heightened sense. and those yummy pomelos & baked
mooncakes i can't wait to sink my teeth into.


love love japanese noodles. especially the cold green tea ones. and this place at
paragon does beautiful hand-made noodles. caught in the act of creating noodles
that are pretty darn near-perfection.


i'm not sure if other people mind their images being uploaded. so voila tis me.


using water to cool down a largely glass facade that traps heat. works for me!


the fusionopolis has such a beautiful theatrette you are treated to visual artistry
before you make your way to your seat!


this girl can really sing. duffy 2009 at the singapore indoor stadium.


a december wedding. my high school buddy never looked more proud as he did
looking at his beautiful bride.


while it broke my heart, i was glad the cats were by her side.


one evening. someone familiar arrived. for drinks up a hill. the
familiar grew unfamiliar.


dear daddy, i love you.


love was in the air that day. my high school friend getting married to a man who
loves her for the beautiful woman she is. it was sunny and breezy. birds were
singing. clouds were pregnant with joy in the sky. and this adorable pair of sisters
were just being their beautiful selves.


a hen's night to remember: two words - calendar girl


lychee martinis suffuse the world in happy amber hues for me


so it was late at night. company was great. a shadow was calling. and i answered.


where there is great music. great words are sure to follow.


in the quiet of the day, sun beating down, an unlit lantern offers a lightness &
suddenly the sky stops glaring & start smiling.


it's amazing what 15 minutes in your day can capture.
singapore may be dimunitive on the world map.
a mere dot.
but it always holds its secrets,
and i look forward to uncovering them
slowly
savouring each sweet moment of rapture...

Some "New" Photos

I was running through my photos a while ago and found some which I took last year while accompanying students on outings. Posting here to share with everyone. All Photographs Copyright Ray Tan.





Monday, March 16, 2009

This is my first contribution to the blog. These pictures were taken during the photoworkshop I had with Ray. Please feel free to give me suggestion to improve on my phototaking skills. :) Ray, I am so sorry for taking so long to post. >.>

EDIT: I used a Canon 40D with a 24-70 lens to take this pictures. Btw, I am Diane.

We were given a "theme" to work on. As you
probably can tell, the idea here is Shadow(s).
Ray wanted me to try a more interesting
composition, so tada this shot.

We chanced upon this alley cat as we were heading
towards a staircase at the back of this alley.
It was not afraid of human action at all,
and we took our time here to get a couple of
shots of this cat.
In this picture, I tried a diffent angle, rather
then as straight shot of the cat. It turned out to be
quite interesting, and had become one of my favourite shots.

Another shot of the same alley cat. It was
grooming/resting itself on the cover(?) of the drain.
I wanted to go nearer to it, but there was a hole
directly behind the cat, so I had to make do with
the distance I could go. This picture was a little
bit of an accidental shot. I was trying to composite
the picture in such a way that it seems to be from the
cat's point of view, but my camera was heavy for just
one hand to hold, I accidentally tilted it to the left
instead. So, this came out of it instead. Though it
wasn't what I planned, it is still one of my favourite.

As we walked towards the back of the alley,
we found this group of children playing ball.
I guess it was a party of sorts. Anyway, it took
me a couple of shots to get this one, as the kids
were in constant motion. I had to wait for the
game to reset to get a chance at this shot. The
shadows of the trees were a nice touch to the
picture here.

This shot was taken as the sun was setting. The sun was still very
bright, so as I metered near the sun, the rest of the buildings became
silhouette in comparison. This picture is again one of my favourite
one out of all the photos I have taken. I really liked how the clouds
behind the sun act as a background rather than a distraction from the sun.

This is a photo taken with tunsten white balance.
It seems to give the picture this "cool" look which
I prefer. I like colder pictures to warmer ones.
I feel that it makes one think more. :/
That is just my idea here. >.>

I wanted a shot with the cars' tail light trail,
so Ray told me to position my tripod and wait. >.>
I was annoyed by the unmoving truck at first,
but after comparing it to the one below (my second try)
I prefered this shot a lot more. There was a car which
went from the third lane to the second, therefore
making the road less bare. Also, the ghostly effect
of the human on the pavement makes this photo a
lot more interesting then the next one.

Final shot I am posting here. This is just for
comparison to the previous shot. This shot is
less interesting in my opinion because the first
and second lane of the road is pretty bare. :/
Again, this is just my opinion. >.>

Please feel free to give me suggestion on how to improve my phototaking skills. :) I hope it isn't too wordy. >.>
