This week's: Food Photography

Food has always been one of my favorite subject since I started photography. There are many blogs out there posting about foods ranges from food reviews, critics, promotions and etc. As for myself, I like to photograph food as a record or a checkpoint that I've tasted the food in that particular place and share it with others if it turns out good. In terms of photography, it's simple. In my opinion, a good or successful food photo will tempt and makes you feel like eating it when you are looking at it. So here are some of the good food that I would like to share. Please also comment on how I can improve the photos..

This week's: Night Singapore

We need light to make a photograph. Night does represent a more challenging time to take photos. Therefore, you may need settings like high ISO and large aperture to shorten the exposures if you are shooting handheld. For myself, I would prefer a tripod. With a tripod, you will have a choice to use long exposures, low ISO (e.g. 100) and a smaller aperture to shoot nightscape, light trails and many more.

Lunar Eclipse @ Singapore

This is the first time for me to shoot a moon. It failed at the few first tries but I realized that the moon was over exposed every time so I switched to Manual Mode. I tried to decrease the shutter speed and it worked !! So these are my shots which I had reduced the shutter speed to 1/4000sec with mid ISO at 800.



I'm not sure whether these are the correct settings so I hope everyone will comment and share your opinion to improve the photos !

Getting Started !

Photography has been my all time interest since I was in college and university. I still remember that I started photography when I first bought my personal camera, Sony DSC T1 after years of savings. I am still keeping it although it's not functioning well now. Subsequently, I've got myself a DSLR when I started working. However, I've noticed no improvement in my photography skill after years of (on & off) practicing. I may sometimes think that my camera isn't good enough to produce great photos... but now I think it's just an excuse. There is a saying.. "Don’t think you need the best camera or equipment. You only need inspiration and a dream." I think it's quite true ! Anytime you feel that your equipment is inadequate, it just means you need to master the basics better. I'm going to take photography a little more seriously from now on and hope for improvement in the near future.

Many of us have a habit of writing dairy. As for myself, I enjoy blogging with the photographs I captured. The photographs represent the journey of my life. Maybe I'm more suitable with the title of "Phoblographer". As I mentioned in my profile, I love to take photos of the places I visited, the food I tried, etc. and share them by blogging. Therefore, I'm setting this blog up to post my photos and welcome as much as comments and critics possible.

So let's go !
