[limwl27] APWP 2014 - Between cityscape and kids


25 Sep 2014 (Thu) - Lunch with visitors
Sony A7 on PEN-F 38mm f1.8 @ 1/60 / f1.8 / ISO500


Testing out my new toy that has some haze or fungus problem. It doesn't seems to affect the pics much unless I shoot into the light. Bokeh is a bit "busy" though.
 

26 Sep 2014 (Fri) - Testing the Lux 50 ASPH
Sony A7 on Lux50 @ 1/100 / f1.4 / ISO200


A friend decide to "poison" me by letting me test his Lux 50. Some friend I must say ...

My daughter colouring a Disney book we bought for her.
 

28 Sep 2014 (Sun) - Point blocks
Sony A7 on VC12 f5.6 @ 30s / f8 / ISO100


It's been a while since I last took a cityscape shot. After settling my daughter, it's pass the blue hour but I took a shot anyway. Focusing is challenging when it's dark. I tried to set the hyperfocal distance but it's still a little blur. I wonder if it's the haze (PM2.5 at 80ish). Nevertheless, I like the cloud's motion blur towards the point blocks.

Sony A7 on Helios 44M-6 @ 1/1000 / f2 / ISO100


Met up with ricleo at lunch to test out his silver Jupiter-9 LTM. It's small, light and good. Now, I am very tempted to buy it ... BBB ...

Playing around with focusing just with peaking (no magnification) so I took this while a colleague is checking the menu. This is focused using just the LCD while resting the camera on the table. Focusing is not perfect but I like the bokeh with the light balls.

Just woke up and still blur blur. It's not very often that I tried B&W shots. Usually I increase the contrast but for this one, I left it natural.

3 Oct 2014 (Fri) - Protech Friday Potluck
Sony A7 on FE 24-70mm f4 @ 70mm / 1/80 / f4 / ISO400


I decided to be the unofficial photographer for my team's lunch potluck. Other than my Old Chang Kee chicken wings, I like this durian pancake dessert best. This are the last 2 pieces so I gotta be fast with this shot!

Sat evening leisure stroll in Hort Park. I asked them to pose at the path with the row of trees at the background. Luckily, my daughter was in a good mood :)

Amazed by the big tanks and lots of fishes.


Very interesting subject, to improve the photographic composition and enhance subject child and the fishes will be nice to crop away the bottom ground area. Nice work.. :)

6 Oct 2014 (Mon) - Singapore Sports Hub
Sony A7 on VC 12mm f5.6 @ 1/160 / f8 / ISO100


Finally, I managed to go to the Sports Hub today to take some shots for a company project. The interior is not opened to public so I can only shoot from the outside. I like this shot that I used the scoreboard to frame the interior of the hub.

Sony A7S on VC 12mm f5.6 @ 1/200 / f8 / ISO100


This hazy and sunny late morning, I tested out the VC12 on A7S. Corners looks good and image size of the 12megapix sensor is good enough. Very satisfied :)

11 Oct 2014 (Sat) - Liying 21st Birthday
Sony A7S on FE 24-70mm f4 @ 24mm / 1/60 / f5.6 / ISO2500 with flash


This is a challenging group pic as the chalet is very small and I have to back myself to the window to take this at 24mm. The ceiling is rather low with horizontal pillar which made the bounced flash not very diffused too.

Sony A7S on FE 24-70mm f4 @ 70mm / 1/80 / f4 / ISO800


Yay for a Frozen themed birthday party!
