These are the few films I watch over and over again and even analyze each shot. I hope feature films are considered! ;) 1. Dumplings by Fruit Chan, DOP: Christopher Doyle (Part of the Three Extremes) 2. 500 Days of Summer (can't explain how unique the edit is for a commercial film) 3...

hey dano!!!!! haha. :D do you happen to have the EXIF data of the shot? What aperture did you shoot with? Yea i agree with the one eye is more in focus than the other. (kind of spotted that difference in focus) with loads of cheers, char. :)

really? not too sure about that. Somehow I get the info that photomatix is better than what cs 4 has. time to go check softwares out. i've heard great things about lightroom from my photographer friends though, but definitely going to check it out before making any decisions. Gee, I'm already in...

Hey Erik, Awesome timing and shot! :thumbsup: I have always wanted to catch lightning shots. Seems like this is the season to do it..lots of thunderstorms. haha. Love #3, yupyup, like what the rest said, maybe should try a tighter crop focusing on the lightning. hope it turns out well! Btw, im...

love the contrast of the sky and the building. :thumbsup: like some of the rest, I first noticed the noise on the top left, sky area too. so that might be an area you would like to take note of. :D cheers, Char

hey kareemis, yeap raw really really helps! did try adjusting the various color temperatures. honestly, after looking back at the pictures over and over again, i don't really know what I want anymore. I've been asking friends what they feel of the various cuts and amendments, definitely each...

ya!! so scary. I was reading Digital Life today in the papers and whoa, photo manipulation is easy peasy now! Don't know if its good or bad... >.< char

i've just watched the video! Thanks! :D Learning something new each time, this is amazing! cheers, Char.

hey! hmm IMHO, i wouldn't know how this picture could be edited. Not a pro here, but I thought I'll share some personal thoughts, since you said how most people don't see the beauty in snails, and subtly, I share the same sentiments too! :) Usually when taking snails, I like to shoot them...

hey! :) I have ps4 already. as in adobe cs 4's photoshop yea? haha. 2 softwares i'm looking to get are lightroom and photomatix! speaking about cs4, cs5 seems to have a lot more additions to it! making me so tempted, but I shall wait for more reviews before considering it. hehe.

samsliv, Indeed. it was a huge surprise to me! I went "WOW!", literally. I would say, it is a very strong picture and it did come to me as something I never see my pictures as. I agree, that in most architecture and urban night photography, details and lighting seem to be important. like what...

hey rronnie, I cannot remember why it was an aperture 5.6, (it was taken 2 months ago), I think I wasn't "fully awake". Gee! I could have used a larger f-stop. >.< I kind of regret at that. haha. as to whether it was a windy morning..umm..yes I think it was. plus we were at a high level. :D...

Thank you! :D cheers to photography!

hey johnlim! THANK YOU!! :D :D :D this reply is really really useful! I knew cropping might have to be done, but didn't know how it could be done. Personally i love the #3, the panorama crop!! and #2 as well. When i was shooting, I was thinking of using the road to lead the viewer to the...

hi shahrie, thank you for your comment! :D i guess that was the exact reason why i like this pic as well, that it is rare we see singapore like this! must plan my shots better with the rule of thirds next time! haha. >.< cheers, char
