You know Monday's are tough when your weekends have been superb...

Of laughter, fun, and loads of joy.

Somehow this photo (pictured above) reminds me that the week has just begun,

That the weekends will arrive soon once again in 5 days. 

Perhaps Monday is not meaningless after all. 

PS: My week rarely starts on a Monday. It starts from a Sunday, but somehow, Monday blues do play catchup. 

 

Shot this along the Singapore River some time back with the Canon EOS 7D. 

Somehow, black and white photographs never fail to evoke a sense of nostalgia. 

A part of me yearns for the happy past, yet letting it all go at the same time. I admit, letting go is not an easy thing to do, but it has to be done, for the sake of today, and the future. At this point in time, I don't really care much about what's gonna take place in a couple of years time, or even tomorrow. I only care about today.

On photography, I don't know where I am heading to, perhaps, I need some time to figure where it's gonna take me, but for now, let's have fun! 

The desire to break out and do something is mounting, and definitely getting stronger as the days past. It feels exciting yet uncertain. Am I ready to listen to what my heart says? Or am I stopped because of obligations that I've to fulfill first?

2 deepest wishes to fulfill... 1. Get myself my own proper dslr. 2. Have a portfolio shoot that showcases the different side of me. Something different, something else more edgy. 

Till the right time arrives, I will wait patiently, and have enough guts to attempt wish number 2. 

I'm looking into streamlining and manage time better, so as to pack my day prim and proper, with haphazardness and spontaneity, would be oh so fun!

Oh, did I mention that I've gotten an even shorter crop of my hairstyle? Makes my head feel really light and looking unkempt if I don't style it :P

Ain't that's a beauty to behold? Its silm, easy to use, and best of all, water resistant up to 3m. Fits into a handbag easily, and what's more, picture perfect for every moment.

The Sony Cybershot TX-5 needs no introduction, for it has been in the market for quite a while. You can find technical specifications and review widely available. (Just google). So I shall spare you from all that tech junk alright? But instead, let me show you just how much I enjoyed using the TX-5.

And so the TX-5 followed me throughout my photography escapades, and surprise me to no end.

Super close up macro shot. All details are captured, along with the vibrant colors. I love the way how the TX-5 handles macro mode shots, and allows distance of 1 to 3 cm to focus on very close up objects. Makes macro shots no longer a chore!

These photos were shot with the camera submerged in water, and it took to the water very well... loads of air bubbles coated the surface, but the images was crisp and sharp. The shape of the camera made moving it around easily, given its small and dainty size.

Be assured that cleaning is not a headache too... simply follow the instructions of soaking the camera in a bowl of clean water, and give the controls a nice toggle. That should shake out most of the dirt. Simply wipe the camera dry and it's all good for storage once again!

Oh, did I mention that the camera is of the right size for cam-whoring moments, as well as having some casual fun with phototaking?

I had a lot of fun playing with the TX-5, and it certainly brought a different perspectives towards shooting with a point and shoot.

Successfully added a new posterous site to auto post to my blog, in case I don't feel like switching on the computer to do some writing, I can still write on the move. Besides, it gets posted only to nicole.sg, and not affecting the rest of the services, meaning you won't see duplicated posts :) 

The other posterous site remains a spontaneous on the go kinda blog :) 

I'm currently buried under work, but I will survive. Cheers!
