Been browsing through my HDD and I realized that I have taken quite a lot of photos before going on my Macro Journey XD

...And no doubt it was really nostalgic, even funny somewhat seeing how lousy my shots used to be Still, there is a lot more to learn and I look forward to it~

Sharing some of my shots here from random categories Hope you will enjoy the photos~

As usual, all shots are nice. Especially HK#6.

I assume the shots were taken in the morning since the street is quite empty.
It's quite hard to see our officers patrol in the early morning.

Thank you man, appreciate it!
My casual shots are so so only la haha, still loads to learn

Yaya, the shot was taken during the morning hehe~~

Got la, our officers all at Kopitiam in the morning

morning = yamcha

;D

superb compositions!

HK is a very nice place for street photography. I will go there again if I have chance.

Thank you sir

Agreed~ But the people there are pretty hostile neh huhu

I think mainly is because of those mainland people. They are quite friendly if you talk to them nicely.

Yeah, I know what you mean, as long as you can speak Cantonese LOL
I can only speak Chinese (I am Hokkien lang lol), so they automatically assume I am from mainland, hence the hostility

Phuket Trip with my darling~
I brought along my Olympus TG-2 and DSLR for this trip~
Used the former for water shots.. luckily I brought along this camera for it was raining most of the time >__<

A shot of the camera hehe~

*Although the Olympus TG-2 is water, shock, freeze and dust resistant. I really hoped that it comes with a larger sensor that will do the 12MP justice Would be super nice if it can take RAW photos too T____T

Probably because of that. Don't worry there are still many places that are worth going.

Thanks for the kind advice hehe
Yeah, I went to Taiwan this year and man are those people there friendly, best place ever

Part 2 of Phuket trip, I brought along my DSLR for on-land shots

Maybe you can consider about Japan in the future. The environment there and people there are very very nice.
You don't have to worry about the language barrier, you can speak simple English with them and they actually understand about it.
One of the best place I ever visited.

BTW sorry for spamming you thread so much.

Sure thing man, looking forward to Japan and New Zealand haha!
Thanks for the info~
You are not spamming la bro Its good to have some interaction within the thread otherwise I just spam photos only huhu

Visited Taiwan early this year and I gotta say its the best trip I've had so far
The people there are so kind and friendly, food is good and the scenery is awesome too- definitely worth a second trip~
I've even managed to proposed to my gf there
