Today, I decided to get serious about my photo-taking. So instead of my Canon IXUS 860 IS it was my Olympus SP-55oUZ that I placed my trust in. It has an 18X zoom, is a 7.1 megapixel and takes sharper pictures than the Canon. Unfortunately, it is really slow - in starting up and in-between shots. It has full manual settings, aperture/shutter priority settings and of course it can be used in auto mode. I played around with some settings and though the pictures were not disappointing to me, I began to harbour thoughts of learning to use a DSLR. Maybe I should get a Canon Powershot at the next IT fair. It is not just the camera of course, so I should not be using cameras as an excuse of shots that are not up to expectation. Which was why I did some reading up on picture composition and went to Youtube for advice and enlightenment and what I found there could make books obsolete. Anyway I had fun today.

Nice slide. Chinatown is a photographer's haven. Many things to photograph and very unique. I love those beautiful shophouses. I love the photos of the street barber and the man who sold wares along the streets, we dont see this very often nowadays. About the IT fair, the last time I was there, it was so very crowded almost could smell someone's armpit...lol. I had to stand at a corner waiting for my husband to queue to make payment but the offers were so good to resist.
Yes, the dying trades...I was surprised to see the roadside barber. I thought they went out of business a long time ago. The thing about IT fair is just to have one aim in mind - the great deals! And then, everything else becomes bearable. IT Fair coming again in March, yay!
