Personal Website In Progress

It was a public holiday yesterday and I took some time to work on my personal website patrickyeoh.xyz

It's still a work in progress and it doesn't look pretty. Still it's something I can work on for fun and to make me happy.

It looks like I'll be shooting more pictures and videos in the near future. It's okay to start lousy than not to start at all. Once we take the first step, the subsequent ones add to the momentum.

Once I have something worth sharing, I'll make it known to others.

Turned 50!

So I have arrived at a milestone and the feeling is surreal. I have much to be thankful for, looking back. I'd like to enjoy more of the present while looking forward to things that are ahead. It's hard to accept that I am "old" when I feel young, both physically and in my heart. I pray that I would be wise and live accordingly. May I find favour in God's eyes.

Sony Alpha Basic Photography Workshop

Learned quite a bit on photography at the recent Sony Alpha Basic Photography Workshop held on 12th September 2009 at The Grand Continental Hotel, Jalan Raja Laut. Traffic going into the city was pretty bad, with the Hari Raya holidays just next weekend, many were in town shopping and clogging up the roads. Our trainer, John Shum, talked about all sort of photography tips and tools. It was interesting to know more about how to use the Shutter speed, Aperture settings, Manual mode, ISO, flash, exposure and so on. The attendance was at about 35 and there were 2 young lady models also present for practice shooting. In addition, invited guest Ms. Denise Chan, who has been into photography for 2 years and shoots every weekend, shared her work with the participants. I guess this is one of the advantages of being a Sony Alpha dSLR user. There will be another workshop on using Flash planned for 18th October 2009. The next lens I might look to get is the recommended SAL75300 which retails at RM...

First Day In School

The first day of school for many kindergarten children in a Chinese medium school. There were many who were crying. I know some of the teachers felt like crying, too. It was chaos! And some just getting used to the environment, or not. People of all races seem to think Mandarin is an important language to learn. Meanwhile, I'm learning more and more that I don't know much about photography. At least I'm having fun!
