Photo Journeys - Changi Boardwalk again

So it's back again to the Changi Boardwalk for me. So some of my colleagues have been feeling like they need some exercise, so they been back once or twice a week to walk. I love walking so I decided to go back with them last week. However, I had another motive. =) I wanted to take more photos and as I knew they were going to go back later in the day in order to view the setting sun on the way back, I knew I just had to go back to take photos of the setting sun.

I also wanted to take photos of the boardwalk with my relatively newly purchased Lomo LC-A. Unfortunately, I didn't understand my camera well enough and didn't realise that the batteries weren't working, hence all the photos I took on the Lomo didn't turn out. =(

Good thing I brought my Fuji v10 along, so I still have some nice photos of the setting sun. I hope to go back to shoot several more times. The next time I'll bring my Lomo again and maybe my Canon DSLR too.

Anyway, here are the photos.

Lomography 3

Bus Stop in Yishun from SMRT 812

It's been a while since I've written any entries on the blog. It certainly isn't for the want of trying, I've simply been too busy and am currently still feeling quite exhausted and will unfortunately have to keep this simple.

Here are more lomo photos for those who enjoy them. Sadly, I probably lost 1 1/2 rolls of shots due to a battery problem in my Lomo camera and for those who shoot on these cameras, you'll know that you'll not get much, if anything at all, without functioning batteries since the batteries also power the shutter. I'm still feeling really bummed about it as I had specifically walked the long way home on a particularly pretty Sunday afternoon and had encountered a flock of birds flying in a big field and now those shots are lost. I had also gone back to the Changi Broadwalk and shot photos of the landscape and setting sun and those are gone too I think. I haven't processed that roll yet but since I lost that 1/2 roll due to the battery problem, there isn't any reason to believe that the roll I shot after that would escape. Luckily I also shot with the Fuji v10, so I do have some shots of the sunset that day.

I've had a bit of a bad spell lately as I also lost several shots because the film wasn't sitting properly in the camera body and the take-up reel wasn't taking up the film properly. However, I did get one really funky and most certainly accidental mutiple exposure shot with that roll so all is not lost. =) I'll upload that shot too.

Anyway, not much one can do about that. That is just part of the experience of shooting with traditional film and manual cameras. =)

So without further ado, here are the photos. I hope you enjoy them.


Yishun


Crazy multiple exposure


Colours


Courts, Tampines

If time permits, I'll put up the sunset shots from Changi Broadwalk and a couple more photos taken over the last couple of days later today. Also, I have prepared more Guizhou photos and hope to upload those soon too. After that, I really, really want to write up a bit about Sembawang. =)

Alrighty, I'm off to bed now. =)

Lomography 2

So I'm still in love with Lomography and have shot several more rolls of film. Unfortunately, I had some trouble with the take up reel and the gate so have two unexpected multiple exposures and one long scratch throughout an entire roll. The unexpected multiple exposures is okay but the long scratch is a bit of a bummer. I'll still upload the pictures though and hope you enjoy them.




HDB flats in Yishun

Two photos of a small wet market in the void deck of a HDB flat in Yishun and the third photo is the roof of the Expo MRT station. The Expo MRT station is designed by famed British architect Sir Norman Foster and his firm. His firm also designed the Supreme Court of Singapore and the Chek Lap Kok Airport in Hong Kong.


Here are the two pix with the accidental double exposure. It's a little weird and I'm not a big fan of double exposure actually. Although I think these two are okay, still ultimately I feel that it's a bit of a pity I got double exposure on them since I rather like those shots without the double exposure but thought I'll post them up anyway as you might like them.

Also, if anyone knows where I can get film cross-processed in Singapore, please let me know. It's really not easy to find a place at all. Thanks.

Have been kinda busy this week but will hopefully be able to put up a few entries in the coming days. Meanwhile take care y'all.

cheers =)
