Birthday treat...

Nothing beats a nice dinner with family, coupled with a smooth wine to go down with .... mmmhhmmm.... ssswwweeeeeettt!!

White wine (left) - bottle no. 1, sweet vin blanc doux
Red wine (Shiraz) - bottle no. 2 with chef ceramic dummy, with blue deco wrapped around the bottle. Did not open cos I know Shiraz is 'dry'.. perhaps another dinner?

Beautiful view from home

My son pointed out the sky from our living room today... so immediately I pulled out my D80 and captured these. Undoctored pictures, mind you :-)

More photo collages

Good enough to make postcards?

My first photo collages of the year (2009)

How... ok kar?

Sunset, as seen from 'Kam Pou'

Some of the photos I took when I was at in-laws' place in 'Kam Pou'.

First blog entry for the year (2009)

Aisay.

This is actually my second post because the first one got lost after I had accidentally pressed the backspace button - so what I've written for the past 30 minutes has just lost like that....grrr...

Anyway what I wanted to share was my experience in getting my first DSLR, using and experimenting the settings in it, compared it to my point & shoot camera Nikon E4100 and the fact that the new camera inspires me to take better snap shots of my surrounding. And to record visually my experiences - sights, travels, observations etc.

Will update this blog as often as my flickr page (hopefully!).

Till then.

Happy Golden Niu Year ;-)

Some photos on flickr captured using Nikon D80:
