So I joined a competition with Deborah after we visited India.

The photos were shortlisted and a few of my photos and her photos got selected (THANKS TO MY GUIDANCE, CAMERA I BOUGHT HER, & MY RETOUCHING SKILLS). I MUST really must emphasize, if not she will be too proud of herself, and I have a feeling one of her photos is going to win!

These are the Shortlisted Ones!

A Day at Giverny with my D3 + 105mm VR

By Kingston Liu | Published 16/09/2010

Decided to take a drive from Paris to Giverny on Sunday. Perfect sunny weather!

Only took my D3 + 105mm micro lens. Wanted to just walked around and travel light. Didn’t get to capture a lot of landscape shots with that lens. It was hard to take nice landscape with so many tourist everywhere. Decided to go close instead! Main focus was just flowers……Hardly travel with my micro lens…was a good day to use it.

Was really nice to see where Monet stayed and got his inspiration from…the area is a beautiful place…a little too crowded with tourist…but it was Sunday..was pretty enjoyable drive + day.

Always wanted to take bugs and flowers…so gave it a go!
Just walked around with the camera and lens…no tripod no flash…just natural lighting and steady hands!

Wanted to focus on the flowers…so cropped it 1×1 to get a square frame around to capture the attention on the flowers…added vignette to it to really focus on the colours….

Incredibooth for iPhone 4

By Kingston Liu | Published 02/09/2010

Just downloaded this app, and it is really a lot of fun!

So I figured I should recommend it!
It cost £0.59 or $0.99
It works like a photo snapping booth you see in the mall.
4 photos in one.

It comes with 3 types of filter.
Black n White, Reddish, and some colour-cross processed filter.

It works pretty smoothly… Professionally done.
The only downside is the limited filters.

Main Screen

Processed photo developed screen

The export screen

Export choices!

Example!

Give it a try!

Prague Anniversary Visit First Day

By Kingston Liu | Published 29/08/2010

Went to Paris –>Prague to celebrate my GF birthday and our anniversary.

Prague is a beautiful city rich with historical sights, there was so many things to do.

We were there for only 3 days, checked out most of the touristic spots and it was good.

Before going so many friends told me how cheap the beer and food is, but when I was there it WAS NOT that cheap.
Maybe I was unlucky and only ate at “tourist” restaurants.
The first one was a big CON JOB! It was a grilled chicken breast, and the waiter asked what side do I want, so he suggested chips and I went along with it. When it came it was a piece of chicken and chips, as described, but it was miserable.

The bill came and I GOT ANGRY, the chicken and the chips was not a set. Who the hell sells a dish with just a piece fried chicken on a plate.
The CHICKEN cost €5!~! and the fries was another €2 !! Was not worth it at all.
I thought €5 for a big chunk of meat with sides will be okie…but big rip off!….I FORGOT THE NAme of the SHOP, but I will google it and find the name and track it down and report it on tripadvisor!!

*Update*!! Found the restaurant on google street view..It is Restaurant U Dominikana,Prague. Wrote a review on tripadvisor! ! BAD REVIEW! Bad Miserable piece of Chicken Schnitzel

Anyways! most of the restaurants food was good and price was alright beer was around 69-90 czk around 2.5-3 euro…not as what my “FRIENDS” mentioned 1 euro for beer! maybe not where we went!

Walked around the first day..and took some snaps..
