I’ve almost finished setting up my new computer. This new machine should really speed up editing my VRs. Here are the specifications:

Intel Core i7-930 (LGA1366)
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
12 GB DDR3 Kingston RAM (Triple Channel)
1 X 500 Gigabyte Western Digital Hard disk
2 X 2 Terrabyte Western Digital Hard disk (Raid 1)
750W Antec Power Supply

I’m still using an old nVidia GeForce 9600 GT graphics card. Don’t know if I should get one of those new directX 11 ones…

Calling all iPhone and iPad users Please visit the link below using your iPhone or iPad to test out the prototype VR that is coded in HTML 5. Unfortunately the link won’t show up using a regular computer’s web browser.

Sorry. It will only display on an iPhone or iPad

I’ll be flying off soon to Penang again for another photo shoot but in the meantime, I’ve managed to squeeze out another VR of the National Day Parade. I’ll work on the rest next week when I get back.

I enjoyed myself today watching the National Day Parade live at the Padang. The first VR I’ve processed is of the fireworks finale. Check it out.

My deepest, heartfelt thanks to P.M. Lee Hsien Loong for sending me a 9th August NDP ticket. I’d like to dedicate all my NDP 2010 VRs to you Sir. It’s very cool to know that you read the blogs and webs of your citizens. Way cool !

I visited the Marina Bay Sands Skypark yesterday afternoon. Fantastic view but I think I should have gone in the evening when it is cooler. I plan to go there again. I highly recommend this place as there is just so much of the city you can see from up here. Personally I perfer this place (for photography) over the Singapore Flyer.

I recently discovered an alternative use for my tele-converter. The Kenko 1.4X Teleplus Pro 300 (available at Cathay Photo) does a pretty good job of simulating the DX crop on my full frame Nikon D700. DX lenses such as the Nikon 18-200mm DX, retains all the autofocus, metering and vibration reduction functions. have a look at the results below.

Went down to the Padang on the 3rd July 2010 to catch the NDP rehearsal. It rained and everyone got wet. However, it did not dampen anyone’s spirits and the show went ahead like clockwork.

A very special thanks to Steven Goh who gave up his NDP ticket so that I could go down to attend this year’s NDP rehearsal.

The 2010 Red Bull Art of Can Singapore marks the first time that this intriguing event is held in these parts of the world. Other successful exhibitions have been held previously all over the globe from Europe to New Zealand since 1997. In fact, countries like Austria, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, United Kingdom and South Africa have all inspired artists to create their own masterpieces out of Red Bull cans.
