~ Photos! ~

haha. the sun was really nice and warm today and alot of different clouds were out. That made a perfect day for a little shooting at the sky. haha.

Here are some of the shots that i took. These are not edited in anyway, except for resizing, basically these are exactly how they look like in my camera.











If you noticed, the buildings on the last picture were actually tilted. Didn notice for this picture until i actually finished uploading. haha. The next picture suffers from the same problem but i managed to photoshop it so it looks more straight.

Before


After


OK...... I just saw the preview and its not THAT obvious that the "before" pic was any more tilted than the "after" pic. haha. maybe cos the buildings were more or less silhouetted so cant discern the patterns and windows clearly. hahaha.

Im gonna throw in a few more photoshop edited before and afters. This time the difference will be quite obvious. haha.

Alright i took this shot this morning as i was walking to the bus stop. Lacks the contrast and color to translate into a more powerful image though...





So... I did some retouching and wala!

This one was done the other day. Same thing, horizon morning shot with a lamp post sticking out. hahaha. I dunoe la. Just feel that the lamp post gives the photo something to focus on. lol.


After photoshop edits.


hahaha. quite a major change isnt it! lol.

Lastly i have a macro shot of my name tag on my work table. Initially the picture was already composed to my liking. Cos i like to play with depth of field. But it just seemed abit washed out. so i adjusted the contrast settings. Then i added in some noise and burned in some shadow to add to the overall effect of the "depth of field" and really bring out the tag to the foreground.

So here goes:

Before.



After.

Thats the last of em for tonight. Sorry if i bored you and the pictures were not as interesting as i thought they would be. But i welcome your comments! haha.

This is gonna be a LOOOOOONG entry. haha. Now im just gonna blog bout "normal" stuff. hah.

Shaun's gonna fly off to study at Monash this coming wednesday. Hah. Time really flies. Ppl are flying off for overseas studies and what not already. Just as more of my gang start getting interested in musical instruments, we gotta split liao. Sad. No more drummer.

Recently kept going into conversations of "the good old days" or topics that went along the line of "those were the days". hahaha. Wow. Making us sound so old, like we already lived through a decade.

(Sidetrack abit, after my run just now i was in the lift with a mother and her kid. The mother was saying:"See kor kor go exercise. Next time you grow up must also exercise!" Then she looked at me and went:"kor kor or uncle?" I was like WTF?!? inside but i just laughed it off. That REALLY made my day. oh man. Plus i sprained my ankle while running. -_- hopefully i'll be well enough to walk around tomorrow to collect ward forms and stuff... hah. But the nice sky and weather was really nice today. =) haha)

SO YEA. lets get back to topic! hahaha. Its really nice to talk with friends and laugh about the stupid things that we or other buggers did back in sec sch days.

I wonder if we'll still be enjoying ourselves doing stupid things as we enter tertiary education and subsequently the working class. i can only hope that we will still get enough time to meet up and chill together. haha.

OK. End of the long entry. haha. i know i've done this before but.. i picture says a thousand words. So i've effectively blogged lets see... 12 x 1000 + a bonus chunk of words. hahaha. ciao ppl. slp slp.
