Eiffel Tower

Unfortunately, I did not have many worthy shots of the Eiffel Tower during my short time in Paris. Other than those taken from outside of my hotel (posted here), below are the remaining shots that I like to share.

To commemorate France presidency of EU, the Eiffel Tower was lit up with in blue, and special twinkling light starts-off from 8pm onwards every hour into the night. Pictured here is my wife taking a shot of the lighting with our Fujifilm F11.

About

I remember my first experience of using a SLR was about 10+ years ago. My father own a Nikon F3 with a Nikkor 24mm f2.8 prime, and a push-pull zoom-Nikkor 35-105mm. With his permission, I took the small dry box containing the gears from him and started playing with it photography. Still a student then, I learned about photography through the F3 manual, and seek advice from some of my friends who were also into photography. Taking photo is the best way to learn, but I do not have the luxury of experimenting too much since film isn't cheap, and developing a 36-shot row would cost around RM30 (I think) for 3R prints, not to mention not all shots are good. Eventually, I stopped due to cost, and my studies. I was reintroduced back into photography about 3 years ago through a colleague. He also came from the film era, and were still shooting with his fully manual Nikon FM2 before getting his first DSLR, Nikon D70. While working on a project in Singapore, I bought my first DSLR, Nikon D70...

gps4cam: Geotagging with your iPhone

Image
Back when I was very active in photography, geo tagging photos was a very new concept. The idea of is to embed the longitude and latitude position into the metadata of the photos, so that you can lookup where the photo were taken. It is kind of cool as software and services begin to appear which allow viewing your photos by location on a map, instead of by albums which you organize by yourself. There were about 3 methods that I know to tag the photos. Manual Tagging As the name implies, tagging is done by using a software that brings up a map interface (typically relied on Google maps)for you to pin point the location where you taken those photos. This is done only at then end of the post processing workflow. One manual tagging method that I used before is from Flickr. Though workable, its a labour intensive method, not to mention you will need to have good memory if you were back from a long trip with thousands of photos to tag. Nevertheless, this was the most economic method befo...

LX5 vs LX3 mini comparison

Image
Positive points I have read from the Internet so far is that the LX5 has better Dynamic Range and better noise control. But I have yet see any convincing sample that back those statements. So happen my colleague just bought the LX5, and I manage to borrow it for a while to perform some quick comparison with Adobe Lightroom 3.2 Trial. A caveat to note: the LX5 now has an optional tiny UV filter, which fit nicely on the lens barrel (very neat!). So the shots taken with the LX5 has a UV filter, while my LX3 doesn't. The Scene I placed the camera on top of a printer, focused on my colleague, recomposed and shoot. I try to have both camera shooting the exact same scene. Camera settings for both cameras: • Manual mode • ISO 100 • 1/320s • F2.0 Result LX5 LX3 Observation • It seems like the new LX5 have slightly wider field of view, just very slightly. Maybe it's due to the in-camera distortion correction algorithm? Anyhow, it's a ver...
