Pet Photography – “My Best Friend”
One of the key considerations of pet photography is how the animal interacts with its owner and the environment. Here are two examples of how a sweet natured dog devoted to its owner showed his attentiveness and keen need to be near him.

They react like all other animals do to stimulus! Did this collage just for a moment, made you think otherwise?

Travel Photography – Sri Lanka (Gallery)
One of the most pleasant aspects of travel is when you have no idea what to expect when travelling to a new destination, you find yourself in a place that has enchanting qualities and subjects truly worthy of photographing. Sri Lanka is not just a place for its renowned safaris but the country is an interesting place for landscape photographers. Do visit the SRI LANKA GALLERY HERE.

Product Photography – Using Shallow Depth of Field
Using the model to hold up the watch but pushing him and the rest of the background into out of focus blur by shooting at f4 this image gave a simple sense of the watch being the center of attention in the image. Intended to create a masculine clenched fist to bring out the concept of a strong diver’s watch.

Insect Macro-photography – Robberfly
This Robber Fly was photographed at the Dairy Farm Nature Park in Singapore. There are many variants and all sizes of Robber Flys and invariably all of them are predators of other insects. This colourful version is very small but totally unafraid of being photographed. Making it a very agreeable model for the camera.
PHOTO NOTES – taken with EOS 7D with 100mm f2.8 macro with 580EXII strobe. ISO400; f11 at 1/250sec.

Food Photography – Food triptych at Pantry @ the Stables
This triptych was taken with EOS 5D mark 3 with 35mm f1.4 L lens. Using natural filtered light from a cloudy afternoon sky. Adjustments made are crop, saturation, light sharpening and resize. The more I use the 5D3 the more I enjoy using it. Somehow it seems to have improved the resolving power of the L lenses that I had not seen before.

Tonight’s crescent moon was bright but with intervals of thick clouds covering it up. It looked wonderful so I used my EOS 7D, 100-400mm L with 1.4 teleconverter – shot manual focus and manual mode. At f11, 1/60 sec. The image you see is cropped from original image at 100%. No enlargement digitally. Sharpened a tad in photoshop.

Food Photography – Sunday Lunch with an iPhone
Sunday Lunch
Normally Sunday lunch will be at a restaurant but this particular weekend past, my wife chose to stay home to whip this up. Not wanting to let this opportunity pass on capturing one of her great meals, I thought to give the iPhone at try to see whether it was able to capture the details of the food she prepared. Clearly it managed to do so and as a collage, this will help us remember a great meal together as a family.
