Giant broccoli in his hands, a first attempt at doing this trick, somehow the illusion isn’t that perfect in this shot, have to try it again.

Tip: Try getting your friend to pose with a faraway landmark or object such as leaning on a tower or grabbing onto something. The results can be quite entertaining.

This is an interesting shot, I had accidentally jerked my camera when taking this shot, but to my surprise the effect came out like an oil painting with all the strokes.

Tip: Sometimes our mistakes can wield interesting results, so don’t instantly delete a photo you think you’ve made a mistake with, you might be surprised that it turned out better than expected.

This was taken in my trip to Mengkuang Dam last year, there so many of these spiders along the forest path. Too bad I did not have my macro lens back then.

Tip: Use a telephoto lens to compensate if you do not have a macro lens to get up close and personal with some creepy crawlies.

Getting nutty and high on fruit punch and satay has turned these two pretty ladies into funny faces.

Tip: Posing for a photo needn’t be a serious affair, making funny faces for a change makes all the difference.

This is my boss’ oriental corner, or so she calls it, quite an interesting collection and lighting. I’m not entirely satisfied with the shot though, got to do better next time.

No tip on this till I can get a satisfactory shot. The lighting here is actually rather challenging here.

Chopping cucumbers at the kitchen, watch out for that sharp blade!

Tip: Zoom in closer to catch the action in detail, not every shot needs to include the whole scene, close up shots can be interesting as well.
