Inspired by a post by Kirk Tuck and news of Canon's EOS 1D X, I have decided to write this entry which has been on my mind for a while.
Sure. The Canon 1D X is a monster with 14 frames per second shooting at ISO beyond 102400 at 18 megapixels. However, how many of you truly need such a performance? Be honest with yourself on that.

I have never owned an Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) camera until the folks at Sony came along and asked if I am interested to do a review of the Sony Nex C3.
I did have some hands on with the Olympus EP-3 (and EP-2) and the Fuji X-100 prior to this and was feeling quite good about comparing the Nex C3 to them.
That plan, however, went down the drain when I realized that all other big boys like DPreview and Digital Photographer School already wrote excellent reviews about the camera.
Therefore it was really pointless to write a matter of fact review and I decided to take a different angle when writing this entry.

I spent the whole of Wednesday afternoon with the folks at Cake Studios and helping the out with a test shoot.
The thing I really enjoy about my job is that I get to make friends with photographers all over Singapore and provide them with opportunities and resources to shoot more photographs.

If you are new to digital medium format photography or are interested in investing in one such system, this is a good introductory video.
Ignore the hard-selling part on Mamiya system though.
Read MoreGot this interesting infographic from smartpress and I absolutely love it. A must-share. One of the interesting findings is that only 5% of users embrace medium format (Hasselblad and Mamiya to be specific). Would be great to see more people pick up one such camera to go out and shoot.
Read MoreDug this negative out of my drawers and realized they were shot during last year's Star Search Photo Competition. I think they were underexposed so I end up not using them for the competition. It was a memorable experience nonetheless. My rules to these contestants were very straight-forward: I do not want to see your teeth in any of my shots (meaning I don't want any of those cheesy Star Search smiley shots lahh). But this contestant (I did not watch Star Search so I don't know his name!) was very comfortable with himself and let out a faint smile despite my instructions. Oh well at least it turned out decent.
Read MoreIf you read my blog often enough, you will remember i posted a digital version of the shot above not too long back. That was taken with the canon S95. This one? As if i have not mention this enough on my blog already.
Read MoreFinally lifted my lazy butt of the chair to scan and upload these photos. I didn't exactly enjoy shooting in Thailand while holding to a ridiculously heavy Mamiya 645 Pro and 45mm f/2.8. So these are some decent ones from the lot.
Read MoreA few months back, I agreed to help my juniors from Wee Kim Wee School of Communication & Information with their final-year project. What they are trying to do is produce a cook book with recipes coming from cancer survivors. The books are then sold off and the money will go to a charity organization of the choice. I can't remember the specific organization though.
Read MoreThis photo is one of my two submitted for the Star Search photo contest. It is actually a composite made up of two photos. The tunnel is one of several locations allocated to the photographers to photograph the contestants in anyway we like. However, i am not a big fan of the location. Unlike other contestants who brought assistants and a luggage of strobes, i chose to go into this competition with my Mamiya 645, my trusty Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod and Yanliang's Canon EOS 5DII + 24-105mm f4 as back up. That means that i do not have the luxury of being able to light up the damn tunnel with strobes.
