Picnic in Morib with my New Baby
Other than awesome pictures I took in Morib with my new Tamron AF 28-75mm f2.8, now I have to nurse a very itchy legs from the darn sandflies bite. But I reckon, no pain no gain. I don’t even mind all the red patches on my ankles after seeing the shots that I took (asif!).
My Sister, Julie and me each cook a little food but we always ended up with too much food. From my sister’s kitchen, she whipped out baked chicken wings, baby potatoes & broccoli salads, fresh fruits and drinks. From my kitchen, I need to finished up the Vietnamese spring roll skin before they really expired! For finger food, we had inari and guacamole as the dipped for nachos.
Kids as usual, dashed out to the beach. The midday sun is too direct and harsh. They are bad for photography as they created lots of shadowy pictures. Composition and angle has to be right then. As for the above picture, I am learning to take cloudy sky. aitelyu, my sifu hor, very selfish wan. I asked him for the tips so many times but he purposely ignore me. What type of sifu is that! The correct sky would have more obvious cottony clouds. I am somewhere there but still need more improvement.
I have fallen in love with the new Tammy aka Tamron.
Notice the shadow on Prince face? This is what I meant by direct-harsh-sun-bad-for-photography. Thank you.
None of us swim cos the water is too murky.
You know how some babies will put sands in their mouth? I was surprised as how well Jonathan, my nephew behaved. This is the first time he sat on the beach without crying. Fyi, he is a cry baby before that.
Little Jonathan is on Swim Diaper. Cute la.
Did I tell you Jonathan is a cry baby?
Hmm… I think I did not.
Jonathan is a cry baby! *duck from Sis flying pots and pans*
Ahem! I can’t resist myself from yoga’ing. Everywhere I go I always have lots of yoga’ing idea. I was in Wheel pose and Eldest Princess is in Cobra. I know the outfit is so wrong. But who on earth goes to a beach in yoga outfit? That is crazy right?
It’s the sky that I want to show off! And that too, the back bend pose.
It’s the sky again. And yes, I know. Cute baby.
Same thing again. Don’t get me started on the sky. I just love it! And yes, the baby too 🙄
Don’t worry. This is the last pic on sky and the baby. Nice wat. Kekeke, I know la. Syok sendiri only.
This is so funny I just can’t stop laughing! *rolling-on-floor-laughing-out-loud*
Taking photos of sunset can be rewarding. At these times of day when the sun is lower in the sky, sunlight travels through more atmosphere to reach the earth. As a result, colors are warmer, richer and often vibrant.
It’s vital when photographing the sun not to stare at it too long through the lens. You can damage your eyes as well as your camera.
Correct me if I am wrong. I think this is another version of dancer pose. Not very sure myself. Standing pigeon.
End of the picnic. Everyone started whining and was scratching non stop including yours truly. I have red patches all over my ankle and tight now. So you think the pain is worth it?
