How’s my Banner?

Posted in Blogging, Travel by jyi1693 on September 14, 2007

I’m wondering how my banner/header appeals to public. It’s pretty simple and plain actually, as I didn’t use a Photoshop equipped computer that time. Do comment on the current banner.

Taken from onboard SuperStar Virgo in the South China Sea going to Vietnam (departing from Singapore) on the 6th June 2007, it shows nothing except for the ocean, the difference between the untouched waters and that after the 76800 gross tonne ship sailed over.

The horizon between the ocean and the sky isn’t parallel to the banner too. I need a new one. I’ll come up with one as soon as possible. :)

Posting this makes me want to go back on a cruise onboard the same ship.

Gone Shutterbugging

I’m back (I have repaired my connection by using another IP Address. Hopefully it won’t somehow ruin the other computer’s net access) and I recently got the urge to take photos of almost everything.

I did a mini photoshoot for my 1:18 Minichamps Porsche Carrera GT, using a self-made cardboard soft light-box, with instructions from Strobist. It turned out pretty well.

Comments on the model car photos would be much appreciated.

The Mooncake Festival is just around the corner now (or has it already passed?). Shopping malls everywhere have lanterns put up nowadays.

Klang Parade (Klang)

And as an extra, Cheras Leisure Mall has acrobats to perform in public.

I also had a go in slow-shutter night photography. I don’t know if it turned out well, but I guess it’s not really bad for a beginner, right? :D Photos taken on the way to Klang Parade. Wasn’t too easy to keep my hands steady with the car travelling.

Comments much appreciated. Thanks for reading!
