East Coast, Frisbee, and Girls

And so on Saturday, I was given the rare opportunity to take my first ever sports shots at East Coast. To be frank, what attracted me was the promise of the flooding of girls. Coupled with my extra distance zoom lense now, I can hide behind a tree and take photos now. Don't you love my camera?



The four display sets in Shawn's Honda Jazz. I never had any idea what they were used for other than it takes up unnecessary space oh the dashboard.



The balloon man. He gave me a free balloon. I like him.




Shawn and his new Nikon D60. Finally I have one photography companion in Singapore.

















And no, I don't really fancy Raffles. I just like his number.












Sports legs. Not particularly juicy.








Don't you just love the lens? Ha. Ha.






When sea water gets in your eyes, you can't see a thing. Not even me.


The dog is cute, so is the owner.

Yet, Another New Addition to the Toy Factory

Recently, I procured a new addition to my photography gadgets. The Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS. Name's a bit long, but just know that this lense typically has two advantages over my previous basic kit lens (18-55mm).

Firstly, judging from the numbers alone, you realise that the new lense can zoom up to 200mm over the previous 55mm. In layman term, it basically means now I can get a better zoom up view on my neighbours next door.

Secondly, my new lense offer OS function which means Optical Stablisation. This means that if you are one typical guy with over shaky hands due to excessive playing of your willy, this Sigma lense will not totally, but at least minimize the amount of vibration transmitted from your hand.



The filter size is huge though, measuring 72mm.


Lense in normal 18mm range.


Extended to 200mm maximum. I reckon the ladies are amazed at the length now. The last I read, it reads "Made in USA".



I love my lense =)
