Over the last long weekend, I went back Muar, Johor Bahru and Singapore. It has been a year I didn't visit Singapore. Compared to my secondary school time, I went there almost every school holiday.One of the reasons I went to Singapore this time is to try out my newly bought Tokina 12-24mm f4 wide-angle lens. I went to a few places and tried to take landscape and cityscape shots with this lens.

I just tried to post-process one of my photos with Photoshop to create miniature effect. This creative perspective could be obtained by shooting using a tilt-shift lens to produce the mind-blowing depth of field.However, there is another approach to achieve this miniature effect i.e. by manipulating the photo in Photoshop. This is the result I obtained...Not bad, huh?! :-)

It was a rainy weekend in Penang. The rain comes on & off and I was lazy to go out for photo shooting.

On Thursday morning, I was in Putrajaya accompanying my friend to an official appointment. Anyway, I managed to sneak out, go around and take a few photos there.

So, I just managed to drag myself to the area near Dataran Putra i.e. Precint 1 and 2.Here are a few photos of buildings with unique design

Throughout the first 6 months of my photography journey, I started to play around with my camera's settings and then went to a few places / events in Penang to practice my photo shooting skills.I realize that shooting photos can be very tiring, imagine with a 800g camera + lens in hand + camera gears' backpack + sometimes tripod, standing under the sun... Oh, it's really hot! But, when looking at
