Mauritius Part 2

We moved to another Resort to continue the last leg of our Honeymoon. It's the Legends this time round on the east side of Mauritius. We move from the west to the east to enjoy more of the island.

The view from our lovely hotel, The Legends.... one thing good about the resorts in Mauritius... the have their own private beaches.... cool!

We have a chance to visit a small island belonging to The Legends resort group, Lle Des Deux Cocos. Its a beautiful island a boat ride away and we can snooker there with the clear waters... Some of the pictures we took on the island....

Of couse we left our marks again.....

We went on a island tour of Mauritius to some of the most beautiful places on earth....

Overall it's a nice experience to be spending time with the person you love in such a nice environment... :)

How I wish I was on the next flight there..... enjoying life with my lovely wife....

Mauritius Part 1

We went to Mauritius for our Honeymoon in 2005 directly after my wedding day. The place is a Heaven for honeymooners.... The place is very romantic and it was a relaxing trip for both of us. Of course I got the chance to take some pictures during the trip.

We stayed at La Pirogue Resort for the bulk of our stay there. The usualy package is about 7 days in a particular Resort. We chose La Pirogue because it's not the usual choice for Singaporeans. Imagine going to a Resort with lots of Singaporeans... heehee... you'll feel like you have not stepped out of Singapore....

La Pirogue comprises of small huts that faces the ocean... once we set foot at the place and was shown to our room, we immediate loved the place....

The view from the beach along the Resort.

The night was equally beautiful......

The birds left their mark on the beach....

And so did we.....

Canon PhotoMarathon 2005

I know it's history already... but I am still proud of the pictures I took during the Canon PhotoMarathon 2005. It spiked my creativity in me and I approached the topics with an alternative mindset. To think out of the box is difficult... and to stand out from the 400 plus contestants is already an achievement for me...

Theme 1 : World In Motion

Well I thought... I needed something to contrast motion... so a few ideas were going through my mind... a turning globe? go to the airport to take the turning signboard? take a mum holding a daughter's hand preparing to cross a busy road? Well then I saw this image at Novena Square.... a Wheelchair bound person selling sweepstakes tickets... well I took a snapshot quickly and feeling guilty, I passed him a $5 note as a token.

My first picture got shortlisted for the top 10. I didn't win anything but it was very inspiring.

Theme 2 : Child's Play

Inspired by the first winning entry, I tried to do a different shot. I tried to contrast a Lego building set with a actual construction site in the background. Too bad the idea didn't work out for the judges... but nevertheless I still feel proud of this picture. Maybe I shouldn't have blurred the backgound.....

Theme 3 : Fashion in Action

Didn't wanted to take the usual shot, I went home to take my clothes in the washing machine.... Fashion = My clothes.... Action = Moving in the washing machine.... Cool? Not so I think...

Didn't managed to join the Canon PhotoMarathon 2006 because I got to cover my friend's ROM on that day... Certainly looking forward to the Canon PhotoMarathon 2007....

See you there! If you see me... just come over to say Hi!

My Cousin's Wedding

I am honoured to be given the chance to take my cousin's pre wedding shoot last month. It's my first time doing a pre wedding photo shoot. I usually take pictures for actual day wedding thus I am quite new to the idea of posing my subjects and capturing the essence of pre wedding shoot. All I can say I am more comfortable taking photojournalistic style.

Managed to do a layout and will be sending to the printers later after the couple has gone through it.

Here's a sneak preview of the album.

Comments please....

Doing pre wedding shoot is quite tiring. Just think of all the places you got to go to take pictures. Well I have indeed learnt a lot from this pre wedding shoot and have gained more in depth knowledge of how to post process the pictures and what to look out for when posing the couple.

I also managed to cover a ROM of a very good friend of mine. Will post some pictures after I have done with my cousin's album.

My Cousin's AD is 12th May 2007 which is two months down. Hope that the printers will do a good job!

Phew... my job is 1/2 done! :)

Welcome!

Well... looks like blogging is the "IN" thing nowadays. Thus I am going to start my own photo blog. This blog will showcase mainly the pictures I have taken. Hope that you will enjoy your stay here.

My first official post!
