I believe this little fella' doesn't need an introduction.

beyond the tall grass; part i

Taken at an unnamed pond in Mentiri. Or maybe it has a name, I just don't know what it is.

It's interesting how an ordinary flower can look so different once you play around with its colors. Or in this case totally get rid of it. The same thing applies to many aspects of life too I guess. All it takes is a different perspective.

You can't always get what you want, no matter how many times you try.

trapped

Once in a while, you will find yourself feeling like this little baby mouse, weak and defenseless. What will you do then?

national day - main event

I went and shot some pics at this year's National Day event in the capital which took place on February 23rd. Enjoy! Comments are welcome, as usual.

My first try at abstract photos. What do you think?

mosque

The Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque is a well known landmark in Brunei, and as is the case with all famous landmarks, in Brunei or otherwise, they have all been photographed to death; thus leaving little room for originality.

Being someone who likes to take photos of sceneries, however, I couldn't resist the temptation to at least try and tackle this particular subject matter at least once. So here you have it, my take on the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque. I hope it's at least halfway original.

About the photo:
I took two shots and combined them into an HDR image via Photoshop. Then I applied Thomas Niemann's Tones (taken from Action Central) and played around with the colors a bit until I got something I liked.

As far as colors go, I suppose this is my first heavily processed image that I'm publishing (although I do have some more on my hard disk). Sometimes out-of-camera pics do get boring and mucking around in Photoshop can yield interesting pictures once in a while.
