Haw Par Villa - My Take (140307)

[night86mare]

Very horrible weather, thought it was good when I went for driving lesson, but it turned overcast and drizzled here and there. Nonetheless, continued shooting anyways.

I think Haw Par Villa got a lot of IR opportunities.. Very fun to shoot there, especially with all the statues. But because of the lack of sunlight, shot a lot but all was literally shooting blind (like using Vistaquest like that, gangeslim would know what I mean).. =D

Had fun anyways! Nice place.

Found this angle very funny. Not very good to comment what the idea behind this is, you guys can guess yourself.

Thanks for viewing, all C&C welcome, honestly. =)

You again!

once again.....way too funky colours for my liking (u dont have to please me hahaa).

for this batch...i feel the tiger shots had the most potential...esp no.3

the pagoda shots...are ok, quite sharp even but doesnt bring out the best of the scene.

[night86mare]

=D

Ya, I shoot a lot, cos got a lot of free time until Oct. Then will do London in IR.

Hehe, I couldn't quite figure out where to get the view you guys got in the outing leh. Either that or my widest not wide enough (35mm). Of the pagoda, that is.

Will definitely go back again another day. Today was a little rushed, because got rain, plus no mood. Sky kept rumbling like some angry stomach. =/

Wishing I could fast forward.

London is supposedly very photogenic, looking forward to my free time (will have a lot because of the uni I'm going to, very free one) being spent exploring it. You went there for studies too?

Hehe, now still free, so must milk it for all it's worth. Good way to pass time during the weekdays anyhow. =D

Thanks! Yes, it's open to public. There was an IR forum outing to it on 4 Mar if you check the history. So I was pretty sure. Quite funny, a lot of people think it's closed.

Thanks! I think the statues in Haw Par Villa got a lot will look very good in IR leh, although they don't really look very good IRL.

I used Photoshop and the built-in Chinese capabilities in Windows to type. Same la, like typing normal English text. =D

[gangeslim]

got this kinda font meh?
i gotta try it later!

[night86mare]

Need to download. Look for free chinese fonts on the net, and you will be rewarded! =D

I downloaded 3 or 4, but only this one worked loaded in Photoshop though.
