Pictures with the camera

[nyankoframe]

I spent this morning taking pictures with the camera, and testing out the macro mode with the flowers in my balcony. I particularly like this picture (this and all subsequent pictures are resized to 36% of original size to be more browser-friendly):





In the afternoon, I went on a drive with my father, my aunt and my cousin, and that was yet another opportunity to take more pictures, of course!









On our drive, we went to the Upper Seletar Reservoir, and that was my first-ever time there. There were a lot of monkeys, but somehow I missed taking pictures of them... I was able to take a few pictures of the reservoir area though.













And, of course, no picture-taking expedition would be complete without a cat. ^^





We also went to Yio Chu Kang and Jalan Kayu, and it was really quite surprising for my aunt and cousin to see how much the area had changed since they'd last been there, as they left Singapore in 1987. It seemed so modern and completely different, although some elements of the past were still there, such as some of the shops, and some of the houses around the West Camp area.

I wonder... how much of what we saw today will still be there in 2 years' time? Especially since I'm leaving soon too...

To be fair though, the last picture was also taken inside a pickup :P

But yeah, that's something to keep in mind for next time.

Needs less blurrycat and more finecat, but at least it has cat.

Also fails for not having enough old buildings D:<

I have a vague feeling the school blocks images from wherever you uploaded them to. imageshack?

I didn't upload them to imageshack but to another (private) server. I don't know why that would be blocked, though...

Most :p of the pictures are so clear, especially that first closeup one of the leaves. I guess a tripod or a steady hand or good shaky-hands-compensator hardware helps. =p

Actually, the camera doesn't have anti-shake, but for the first picture, what I did was to go close up and hold it relatively steady, especially in the macro mode. The last picture probably suffers from some shakiness though...
