Last weekend I bought tickets to Cape Town in December. One of my friend is going back home and invited me. I decided to tag along and I will be going for about 10 days. It is quite exciting as I’ve never been to Africa before. Besides, Cape Town is supposed to be really beautiful. And on top of that, it will be the summer so I’ll also get a break from London’s weather. Perfect! I can’t wait for December now.

October 20th, 2008Photography Class – The Aftermath
October 6th, 2008Last weekend I attended the Digital Photography Class I signed up for a couple of weeks ago. It was a very comprehensive introduction to photography. I really enjoyed it and picked up a lot of things I didn’t know. I actually got to test (and unfortunately reach) some of the limits of my Nikon D60. One of the interesting technique I picked up is panning. It consists of following a moving subject and take a shot with a relatively slow shutter speed to capture the movements. Taking a photograph of a still subject in a moving environment gives an equally interesting effect. I also want experiment more with shadows (Metering on a bright background with a low ISO which makes the subject only appear as a shadow). It was time and money well spent. I’ve put a few of the photographs I’ve taken below.
