Test 1

I focused on the sharp thingy and took shots from both my D40 and D300s. When I cropped the picture you can see that D300s gives sharper, more focus, and better natural color.




Post 101 - New Camera

Finally decided to upgrade my camera to D300s. When I held the camera in the store (Body Only), I was confused why people are complaining about the weight all the time. It felt about the same as my D40 to me. However, after I got home, put the battery in, put the CF card in, and attached my 18-200mm lens, it became so much heavier.

This morning I compared it with my D40 which feels almost weightless now. Make me think twice whether to sell the D40 or not.

D300s is quite a complicated camera for me (aat least for now now) with its many buttons and lots of stuff in the menu. First thing I notice is the bigger LCD compared to D40 which is very nice. Then I tried taking pictures and AF is faster and quieter than D40. Well, I need to learn a lot more now but I feel that this camera is more solid.

Anyway, I will compare pictures later. Time to study the camera now.

Ippudo Singapore

A new ramen shop is open at the new Mandarin Gallery. It took us about 40 min to get into the shop...yup they have a long line too for ramen shop here. They have two types of ramen, white one and red one. The white one is regular tonkotsu ramen while the red one is tonkotsu ramen with added red miso on the soup. I ordered the red one with extra flavoured egg (Akamaru Tamago).




Well, it tastes good but I think the ramen shop near my place has better noodle and tastier tonkotsu soup.

Appetizer grilled trout

Christmas 2009 Singapore

Yes, it's Singapore again. I bought a flash for this picture. Hope you guys like the color. I love it. Oh, and I took it without a tripod...well, this is the only good one out of more than 10 I took. The problem was my daughter moved a lot.
