Captured this photograph at Budaiya Jetty in Bahrain. Was quite cold inspite of the bright sunlight ( was winter at that point in time ). Desaturated the photograph using Adobe CS2. Coloured version shows the sea to be super torquoise in colour....quite breath taking but somehow or rather, I kinda like this pic in B&W

Captured this picture at Chillout Terrace in Gurney Drive, Penang ( while waiting for my cuz ). Banged the ISO settings up to 1600...lucky for me there's not much visible noise. Was quite happy that the cam handled itself well under high ISO settings. Ngu ( aka Jay Sean ) was with me at the time but he was too drunk to get into the pic.

Captured this shot in Gurney Drive,

Catch Me If You Can


Captured this photo at the Tonle Sap staging area ( boat docks ). Saw a few kiddos playing around...and this particular bugger was running around naked. Needless to say he was the least shy of the lot. Had hell of a tough time avoiding his little feints of trying to grab me camera.
Original photo is colour...PP"ed" it to B&W with Adobe CS2 software.

ISO Speed: ISO-100
Focal Length: 300mm ( Macro Mode )
Metering Mode: Pattern
Location: Cameron Highlands
Spent quite some time to capture this photo...lots of wind and the bees were buzzing around like crazy.
Lucky the subject was under direct sunlight to compensate for the shortfall of my lens speed. Was really lucky that the stigmen of the flower was properly captured. All in all, I blasted like 50+ frames for this particular photo alone. Thanks to the wonders of the digital age ( memory cards ), no unecessary expense was spent in capturing this shot.

Love the desolate feeling it creates.

Intro

Lately things have been on the shitty side for me...so much so that the Wa Boh Tiao attitude has settled deep within myself....in short, I have totally given up ( those who know me should have an idea what I am yakking about ) and have refocused my attention to "things" that presents a better future for myself and my family.

To set the records straight, my old blog ( http://tanjamie.blogspot.com/?zx=c7ad06f8751b0fb4 ) still exists BUT its for INVITED readers only. The reason I changed it because some self centered sonofbitches dunno how to respect the thoughts and writings of others ( their mamas and papas didn't teach them how to ).

Neways, enuff of the shitty intro for my new blog. I created this blog to post some of my favourites photographs with the explaination and detailing of why I took the pics.

All forms of comments and criticism is greatly appreciated.

Love & Kisses,

Wa Si Amatuer Photog
