An extremely extremely well-executed video. Good selection of places, perspectives. Shooting all that would kill a camera shutter i tell you. 30+ thousand stills. Prob take my pc a year to do all the fake tilt-shift and video making.

300 odd photos is a sizeable and heavy package!! and S$3.35 worth of local postage is considerable. YAY. look at that stack. I think I will run out of wall and shelf space.
spent the greater part of the day going through my entire Flickr account and selecting photos for printing. there goes 2-300 photos into Snapfish. the prices are pretty good. and im really lazy to bring my stuff all the way to the printing shop and then pickup at a later date. 15 cents per photo.
only recently realised that i got my camera in late april/early may last year! so i’ve been at it for 2/3 of a year. some of the earlier photos look lousy. haha. i actually can remember all the photo-outings.
sigma announced some new lenses! must resist the temptation.
i think i need to get a box to store photos. when you have that many, albums and frames just can’t cope.
the other day i was at the scrapbooking shop, and i was staring at the samples. i thought, wah, one or two photos on each page, and i have like hundreds of scrapbookable photos. not possible.
paradise of dreams in the night sky. =)
some comments on the shoot/edit:
bulb exposure on tripod. minor cropping, increased contrast, gradient exposure reduction on left person to reduce thebrightness there.
this is a good photo.
was flickr-browsing through my contacts, and there’s this really pretty girl with really pretty photos. bleh. was looking at her profile and saw this quote:
Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson.
she’s got lots of lovely quotes. her latest photo says:
Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious
~ St. Thomas Aquinas
you can view her photostream at petiteclochette. [translates to 'little bell' from french]
There is only one happiness in life – to love and to be loved
~ George Sand
today’s lunch at home. darn forgot i seem to have left out the prawns.. =(
