Latest Nikon 55-200mm VR AF-S f/4-5.6G ED to my ever growing Lens Arsenal

As I dive deeper into the realm of photography, I armed myself with yet another lens to my ever growing collection.. I have gotten myself a tele lens to overcome distance, ZemonYun from Clubsnap... Actually, this lens comes in 2 different makes.. There is a 1st generation 55 - 200mm Non VR version that would probably add to the difficulty of stablising the image during the shoot.. This version that i have got is the Vibration Reduction version that can helps to reduce vibrations of up to 3 stops.. That would put panning at a distance a breeze compared to the earlier version.. I haven got myself into the shoot with this latest lens, but this would definitely be my choice of use when it comes to reportage and events where I need to shoot from a distance... Will review this lens further...

H1N1

This unwelcomed flu has been hogging the headlines every other day.

The flu has shock me by taking away a young 13 year old boy from his dearest family. It hurts even more when the cremation has to take place on the day his mother is due to celebrate her annual birthday. This is sad, even for reader like me.. How much more hurt his mother will feel every year from this year onwards, she will be constantly reminded that her birthday, unfortunately also marks the anniversary for her son's death..

What's worst can it get?

Canopy walk at Mount Faber

After missing a period of outdoor activities, my queen volunteered me to join her with her university alumni canopy walk on saturday morning.. from Mount Faber to Hort Park, probably a distance of 5km..

I took this opportunity to grab my D90 to catch greenery of Singapore.. It was a meaningful walk, joined by thousand others.. Walking trails that I have never got myself into before, taking photos that I had never got into..

But definitely, this was a time to release my Queen's work tension mustered over the week..

Formula Drift 2009 at Changi Exhibition Centre

This is my first ever attendance to such an event....It was always been too expensive for me to make sense.. But this year, I was persuaded by my buddy to attend this.. This turns out to be an eye-opener for me for both the driving drifting techniques and also a window for me to continue to hone my photography skills.. this time round, I experimented on panning... Panning means taking a moving object with blur background to give the "speed" feeling..
