Above| Chained together, these dividers become the layers that make up a discontinuous surface for the pigeons to perch on.
Below| Trying for something more abstract. I am pretending the spikes are citadels on an alien landscape. Must have been watching too many alien movies lately. :P
No love lost between this two!
Newsflash: A re-homed local mongrel dog has been caught on camera abandoning her pre-loved toy bear. Donna the local mongrel refused to share her bed with the teddy bear, so much so that she was willing to give up the bed to the bear. When asked why she thought the bear too repulsive to be near, Donna replied that she couldn’t sleep with the bear there and the human clicking away on her phone camera on the other end. The human cannot be reached for comment.
Look at me!!! Look at me!! I can haz moustache too! XD
When we first decided to get a pet, we debated about whether we should get a cat or a dog. Mr P suggested a cat several times because, by all accounts cats are more independent and perhaps more suitable for two busy adults.
But I wanted a pet that will get me exercising regularly. It is a commitment I wanted to make. You can walk or run with a dog, but not with a cat. (It was later that I found out some people do walk their cats on a harness :P)
So we adopted Donna. Dog walking became an everyday item on the day’s to-do list.
How many different pictures can one take of the same dog walking every day? More pictures than I would have thought.
Enjoy. Photos after the jump ;)
Mr P is back! Mr P is back! He played with me a while, and now he’s disappeared into the bathroom.
Tell Mr P to come out please? I haven’t seen him for a week and now he’s back!
He is taking his own sweet time, isn’t he? I’ll still be here when he comes out… zzz…ZZZ…zzz…
Blank walls. Patterned floor.

Continuing last week’s coffee shop drinks photos, this week, let’s take a look at the interior decor of a place where these drinks are commonly enjoyed.
Food republic was the first food court in the country to open themed food courts. Subsequently, all the new food courts have caught on to the fad and come with their interiors designed according to the trends.
This photo was taken in one corner of the Malaysian Food Street at Resorts World, Sentosa, named so because the food court and food was planned to simulate that – old-school coffee shops/hawkers in Malaysia. In this case, I guess they were going for a 1960s-70s vibe. I didn’t like the tile floor in colour, but the pattern works for me in black and white :D
I was sitting at a table and simply shot upwards and downwards without moving from my seat.
Guess who gave way first! Answer here.
Donna is not too impressed by moving visuals… She thinks we should spend the time playing with her rather than watching TV or pointing the phone at her to make cinemagraphs :P
If you like me, live on this earth, shadows will be cast. It’s the law of nature. But what if you really want a bright white floor or an even coloured floor in your picture?
First thing first, plan to take your picture against a white or plain coloured background. You may remember these recent examples:
The previous how-I-did-it photo editing post dealt with overall brightening of the image, and how I converted the image to high contrast black and white with few shades of grey in between. I got a harder image with a more graphic quality that way.
In this post, we will look at how to brighten or even out specific areas of the photo, rather than the whole photo.
Here’s how I did it on my iPhone for the picture used in Look what I found hiding in the study!
