Haven't posted in a while... Just wanted to say HELLO!!! And good luck to those participating in the Brunei Open Golf tournament!

The Chaperone

Today's picture is a lil bit of nostalgia on my part. It is actually one of the very first photos taken with my 350D, and it sure feels like a long time ago.

I'm sure most of you can identify the location, if not, it was taken in The Empire's vast and splendid grounds. I noticed a young couple sitting under a tree, laughing and enjoying each other's company. Looked like any normal couple on a date but sitting very close by was an older lady, watching over them, listening in, sometimes laughing with them. My guess was that she was the chaperone, perhaps even the designated driver hehe. On their walk back, he had his arm around her and Madam Chaperone maintained her pace so they were always a step ahead of her. My companion and I made a lil joke, "Eh bedating kena jaga? Kesian perempuan atu jadi tiang lampu". I don't know if my technique has improved much since then but capturing moments like this is what I like best about photography. Even though it's been many months ago, everytime I look at the picture, it takes me back to that moment and puts a smile on my face.

Three's a crowd but not on this site ;)

Ahoy Sailor!

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if it's possible for someone to live on a boat on our shores? If so, how much would the "parking space" be?

True Holiday Spot

Haven't had time to shoot the last couple of days so here are some more shots from my Sunday at the Empire.

Imperium

Dad mentioned a couple of days ago that so and so cousin will be having their birthday at the Empire Marine Centre today. My ears immediately perked up at the news. Lil cousins birthday parties aren't normally my most favourite way to spend a Sunday but this time I didn't have to find an excuse not to go. Everybody knows that the Empire = snap happy grounds. No matter how many times you go there, you can't deny the splendour of the place. Since my new lens hasn't arrived, I ventured out armed with only a wide angle.

Deep in Conversation

Tranquil Waters

Oh btw, to all the photographers out there, what do I do if I find specks of dust in my photos? I know it isn't the lens cos the speck is still visible when I change lenses. Is it sufficient to use a blower to clean the sensor or will I only be making it worse? Help!
