    Investing in My Exercise
    ,

    I’ve mentioned before how much I’m into my fitness so this purchase is an investment into that. As part of my daily workouts I tend to break up my strength sets by doing skipping between them. Because I’m doing this 5 days a week I tend to go through skipping ropes quite fast since I… Read more

  • Celebrating Two Years of Marriage

    Celebrating Two Years of Marriage

    This week marked two years since I legally married my wife. The reason I say legally is because we had the legal signing this week then two years ago then the following month had the actual ceremony in Bali. Although we tend to celebrate on the weekends since we work during the week, I got… Read more

  • My Next Task at Hand

    My Next Task at Hand

    I’m trying to get back into posting here more so this is one step towards that. I actually have quite a few images I need to post but as it’s part of an unreleased project of sorts, I need at least a few more weeks before it’s ready to share. Until then, you’ll see some… Read more

    Zooming My Way to Something New
    ,

    You’re probably surprised to see me back already with another post but I’ve been in a very photography orientated mood recently. There’s also the slight boost you get when you receive new gear that makes you want to shoot more although that’s not usually long lived. Despite that, you need to make the most of… Read more

  • My Wedding Ring for Smile on Saturday

    My Wedding Ring for Smile on Saturday
    , ,

    One thing I really like about Flickr is the groups and their weekly challenges. One of those is Smile on Saturday which had the theme of “Rings” this week. In terms of the actual image, it was taken with the Sony Alpha a7C II and Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DN Macro. You may wonder what the… Read more

    Living the 85MM Life and Loving It
    , ,

    Recently I’ve been using my 85mm lens a lot more, not just to get more use out of it but also so I can become more accustomed to the focal length, so it feels as natural to me as a 35mn lens. Every single image in this post is taken with the Sigma 85mm f/1.4… Read more

    Keeping it Casual and Chinese New Year
    , ,

    It’s been some time since my last post and although I don’t have a huge amount of images, I thought it would still be worth doing an update. There’s nothing too groundbreaking in here but just some casual shots as I’ve taken while going about my usual routines. Making Use of a UWA Ultra Wide… Read more

  • The Sony Alpha a7C II Has Arrived!

    The Sony Alpha a7C II Has Arrived!
    ,

    Last week I purchased the Sony Alpha a7C II! We had a really good sale which was essentially 20% off the price so it was too good to resist. If my cashback requests goes through too then I’ll be getting the camera for even cheaper as well. I’ll share some impressions of it so far… Read more

  • The Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Has Arrived

    The Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Has Arrived
    ,

    Last week I received my Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary lens. This lens will be something small I can carry around with me when I don’t feel like dealing with the added weight of my 35GM or 85mm Art. Also, once I get the a7C II this lens will primarily be used with that… Read more

    I Got the Apple iPhone 15 Plus!

    After 4 years of owning an Apple iPhone XS Max, I finally upgraded. Like anything I thought I’d share some images of the new phone which I took with the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DN Art. This is now my go to product photography lens and it’s continuing to impress me. Below are the actual images… Read more
