Thanks to the peeps from Sony, who loaned me a set of the Sony Cybershot HX10V compact digital camera for my Phuket trip, my dad's Nikon V1 will not be getting any love from me for this trip.
To be fair, however, whichever camera I am bringing to Phuket will not be getting much love from me either, as it will be subjected to extreme conditions.
Read MoreIf you read my blog often enough, you will know that I like to do a lot of night photography. Very often, I set my exposures up to 30 minutes, which can be a real pain in the ass standing in the dark and doing nothing.
To kill time, I surf a lot of Facebook, Twitter and 9Gag on my phone to while waiting for the 30-minute exposure to end.

It was my second day with the Sony Nex-7 and I wanted to try out the 50mm f/1.8 that came along with the camera. So I decided to grab my colleague Duane, who was pretty much stoned from all the late hours of work as my test subject of the day.

Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreI 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.
Read MoreI had the honour to doing a review for PSKiss, a company that develops one-click-of-the-mouse filters that converts your images into stunning images. The set of filters I received from them are the black and white filters. The image above is taken during my recent trip to Huangshan, China. It was converted into black and white using the PSKiss Creative Mono filter with +7 grain. Hit the jump for more about the filters.

Here's a four-minute video on all the things you need to know about the new Sony Alpha A55 and A33. If you ask me, I'm more excited about the A55/A33 than the Canon EOS 60D.
