A boy and his small toy.

Fern.

I was out on photo snapping trip to Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve. Mannn, the people who took pictures of the wildlife there had cameras that would probably cost a whole year of my pay. With super macro lens that was as huge as their own children they brought along!

This gives me the drive to save even more for that DSLR camera I would hope to own one day. Until then, here is a pic of a fern I snapped using my crappy camera of mine. I didnt take many shots of the fauna over at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve cos I could not zoom close enough to get good quality shots of them. Couple of insects which I would post over a period of time. :)

One has to make do with what one has. Im still snapping pics though, crappy camera or not. Haha! Until I get the DSLR!

Pasir Ris Park. Never knew nature thrives there.

Had my trip to Pasir Ris Park and Beach to snap pics. Here are some of the best shots i took today! That place had mangrove boardwalk trails, the beach and more plant nurseries! Teeming with life in it! Enjoy!

A plant that was filled with huge red ants!

Through its eyes.


A crab. Not sure what species but wow! Look at the colours!


Horseshoe crab.


Not just teeming with life, it reeked of death too. But only to feed life around it.


Fishing.

Cicak.

Komodo Dragon

Rhino and Tortoise

Here are more pictures of the zoo trip.

A rhino and a giant tortoise!

These are pictures of butterflies I took when i was walking in the Fragile Forest in Singapore Zoological Gardens. None of the butterflies run from you, but would instead fly right up to you! It almost seems magical!

Snakes!

I went to the zoo last weekend, and over the next couple of posts, I will be posting pictures of the trip here!

Enjoy! :)

Playing Around

Playing around with my camera. Playing around with Photoshop. This is the end result.

Mysterious

I grow plants outside my home without knowing what they are. This one is seriously bugging me because I have no clue what plants they are. At all. Someone who knows, please let me know. Thank you.

Lights on me.

Im beginning to have a lack of subjects to take. So I am playing around with Photoshop to make things look a lil more interesting.

Dear Nico

Dear Nico,
I have been wanting to tell you this for the longest time but haven't been able to. My addiction to you is astronomical. I had wanted to call off our relationship. Break it up. But its just so friggin difficult.

Dear Nico,
You were there for me all the time. You were with me before and after I go on stage rocking it out. You were there for me before and after sex. You were there for me through good times and the bad.

But you are too high of a maintenance. Just recently, you hiked up your market value again.

Dear Nico,
You drain me of my finance. You drain me of my health. You drain me of my stamina for my performances. But yet I still look for you. And when I break it off with you time and again, you seem to be so nonchalant about it, but it was me who ended up crawling back to you. You accepted me back with open arms.. Too open I guess.

So dear Nico,
I want to break off our relationship once more. I know you won't miss me, but I will. Let's hope I don't come begging for our reunion once more.

With Love,
livingthroughstills.

Morning Glories

As you can see, I am pretty excited about my new blooms. And I have much to confirm that I am growing morning glories right outside my home. They open in the day, and close at night. If anyone else can confirm with me what they are, I would be majorly thankful!

And I think I take better pictures during the day, probably due to the sucky camera I have. Am trying my very best to save enough to get myself a good SLR camera. Which one, I am not entirely sure yet. I am fairly new, and I have taken a liking to macro photography. Perhaps someone can recommend me a good setup?





Anyway, here are day and night shots for my flowers. I had to crop out the night pictures due to the fact that I cannot seem to focus well at night. There was too much dark sky space in the original. Lighting proved a major problem cos my camera couldn't capture it enough, and I cannot adjust shutter speeds for my camera. I had to shoot a lil further away due to my use of flash. I did not want the subject matter to be too bright, and cause only a white image for the end result, without capturing the color of the flowers.

In full bloom!

I awoke this morning, to find yet another one of my plants in bloom! Flowers are purple, and they kinda look like morning glories. I had no idea what I planted. lol. And there were 3 flowers in total! All fully bloomed and had their petals fully open!

I am so excited to find out what fruits I would get from them!

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Just so you know, I didn't intentionally break the PSP to snap this. For some reason, my friend still refuse to repair the screen after he smashed them. And I thought it be a nice collection to my photographs, capturing each intricate shatter as a whole design, even though the PSP no longer serves its purpose.

Music is the Language of Us All.

Im happy to say my entire family is into music. My younger sister picked up the guitar! So, while she strums away, I snapped away. Im beginning to like close up shots. Have been experimenting with it for 3 days now!

Giver of life

Water. The one that sustains all living things on Earth.

My Love, My Sebastian

An experiment I did for macro shots of my saxophone. Pardon the rust on it. lol.
