Monk - Candid Shot

After staying away from Flickr for months, I wish to upload some photos which I took during the trip to Myanmar.

This photo was taking in Shwe-In-Pin Monastery. When we arrived there, I looked in the monastery, a monk is standing against the light. I think the view is quite interesting to me and Click.

Tripod, Sunset and The Lake

A friend gave me useful information that a place near to KaRaWeik Hotel is very good to take photo in sunset. After meeting with some friends, I decided to go to KanDawGyi Lake in an evening even though the time was a bit late. And I didn’t plan to go on that day, so I didn’t bring tripod with me. It’s troublesome to bring a tripod all the time especially you are travelling around the city by taxi.

I placed the camera on railing, hold breath, and took the photos. As the result, the photos are not great especially the focus. I am sharing one of the best photos I got on that day.

Thank You!

Filter, Clouds and Trip

I went back to Yangon last month for holidays. Just before going back, I bought a Polarizer Filter to get better landscape photos. I didn’t have time to try that filter after buying. So, when I get onto the plane I just open the packing and fix the filter on the lens to take some clouds photo as I thought I will get better photos with it.

I am luckily enough to get a windows seat because the flight was nearly full. As it was the morning flight, the sun is rising and there were clouds as well. When I take photo, we are crossing the ocean, so morning sunlight was reflecting on the ocean to make the cloud in 3D effect. Frankly speaking I am not familiar to use it yet.

More photos will come later but please do not expect to see very stunning photos. :D

Ciao!

Yangon Rain

I walked to the Submit Parkview Hotel from my home on the other day. When I was about to reach the old parliament building, It was beginning to rain. I thought it was going to be a heavy rain because this time is rainy reason in Yangon, Myanmar. Luckily, it was just a shower.

When I look at the umbrella, the rain drops were there beautifully placed. I took the photos with my HTC Hero. 

Under the sun

I have not uploaded any new photos recently. Nothing other than I do not have nice-new-photos and I was busy. It’s transition time and very hard to find time for my hobby.

Even though I am not active in Flickr, I have been checking my friend’s new photo coming up here. Sorry for not giving comments to you guys’ beautiful photos. I am not a big fan of portraits but some photos really make me want to take some portraits. Cheers…

BTW: This photo was taken in Chinese Garden.

Ciao!

Mixed Messy Miss

We left home to search better life.
We fought until we strike.
Sometimes we got backstab by many knives.

Then we said ‘better to live with the family’.
Yet we cannot decide what to do firmly.

We visited home to stay with them alone.
But we got better-life missing syndrome.

It’s hard to take everything together.
To get the life we got, never say never.
Past taught us to be clever to endeavor happy forever.

Tamarind Buds

You will feel very excited when you see something which can relate to your good memories.

I went to Lake Side to take some photos of Chinese Garden for my designers this morning. The weather was perfect for photo shooting; sunny with blue sky. When I was ready … and click… cannot fire… What’s wrong? … Check… no SD card… WTF. I forgot put the SD card back to camera after transferring photos to computer last night. I remembered to take the card before leaving home. Unfortunately a client called me while I was preparing to leave. After the conversation, I left home without taking SD card…

Hiyo…

Anyway, I decided to go back home and take the card. Otherwise we will not finish the design in time. When I get back to Lake Side the weather changed. It became cloudy. What the luck? I was disappointed as my effort to come here early was wasted. Anyway I took some shots of Lake and temples and HDB and so on…

I walked along the jogging track beside the lake… and I found a tamarind tree and I was so excited. It has new leaves and buds. I was happy taking photos of tamarind leaves.

It really makes me to remember my home town, my mom and my mom’s cooking. She would make a salad with those tamarind buds, butter bean and onion. That salad is very simple yet very delicious.

I miss you, mom… and your delicious home cooking.
