  my H9 is just a souped up point and shoot with 15x zoom

  i always photoshop the shit out of it, but that's because they look horrible! hahaha...

  ah... compact camera. sometimes the best moments are captured with compact cameras! unless you're going for an ansel adams shot.

  actually, you can't see it because it's armoured with about 30 rolls of tape

  LOL~

  i can't be bothered to gaffer.

  if it spoils, it means its time to get a new one.

  its different leh... mine is set up, hers isn't. so if you are going to merlion, you should be looking at hers.

  for mine, i use from 1 to 4 flashes. natural light is a 80% no no for me, its too soft and it affect the post processing. so far only i've taken only 2-3 photos which i think is acceptable under natural light because its harsh enough.

  you wanna learn angles? just look at more photos and pick those that you like and study them. i can honestly say that for me, i usually shoot straight.

  so...after my spending at sichuan (saved last year)...my $2K lens (which i saved these 3 months)...and i have to save another $4K for another lens and D300 (need another 6 months)...and hopefully can take bonus to go holiday next year Feb...

  i am super broke this year..

  i don't understand how u can spend money on the stuff and not generate income from the stuff you're buying!

  i tell myself, ok 1 to 3 shoots. i can get the ringflash... or the imac... 2 shoots, i can get the 14mm...

  my pathetic pay is never going to afford me the equipment i need to shoot.

  hah..i never thought of generating income from a hobby leh..

  pple tells me that i have chosen an expensive hobby...erhhm..maybe lor.. but it is personal preference lah...i save money and spend of my liking...like travel..i dun mind spending  $2.5K to 15days cheong sua whereas others spend $3K on a  5 day holiday resort (just to nua and sleep whole day).

  i have a friend who loads of $ on vinyl and audio stuff and create a mini cinema in his bungalow house (just to relax and zzz in his cosy corner) and kakis who spends thousand of $ on golf club which is to hit balls away...I am nothing comparable to them..(who live their lives working hard, and loving their hobby and expect nothing in return)..

  sometimes people named hobbies their babies...unconditional love...
