Just some Olympus 25mm 1.8 lens sample pics for the sake of updates. LOL


Okay,
lack of updates,
doesnt really matter as i'm not sure i have readers or not... lol
Oh well, i just need to take this rant off my chest.

Seriously, my lazy mode is ON.
But i did bought that Oly 25mm 1.8 lens.
I plan on showing off the lens on the camera and some pics taken with it.
No scientific test, just some random snapshot. Dont pixel peep. Please. Not here.

Again, seriously,
I post this sample pics just for the sake of updating this blog.
Its been quiet.
Where have all my rants went to?
Fingers are just lazy to type in what i have in mind.
Okay, lets just start posting pics. Not much, just a few.

So i bought this brand new Olympus 25mm lens in Singapore at TK Foto. If you're in Singapore, get it there... the cheapest price i found than anywhere else and if you're a tourist you still get to claim TAX refund. Good Job TK Foto. Its in Funan Digi Mall.

 The guy who sold me the lens. 
i was putting the lens on my camera to do some test shots.
He said "This lens is great for portrait"
"Oh yeah?" i said
"Let me take your photo"
*Click*
Too bad i forgot to set the aperture wide open. This was at f3.5.
Still nice background blur.
Would love it at f1.8. Just because i like to shoot wide open.

 Wide open at f1.8
The fork is super sharp.

I'll post a photo of the lens on camera next time. 
With the JJC Square Lens hood On. Pure Camera Porn.

Okay, while i'm at it....
i have the feeling to post more pics now. Let me check whats in my Lightroom Library.

 Cool Scooter.
Spot the girl in cab with a haunting face. 
Must be that poster on the cab.

 My fav spot!
The pedestrian!
Nobody cares if i take a picture here..... i guess..

 Added more grain here.
i love how grain and Black & White combine.

 A tiring day

 This place used to be "hot" back in the 80s for us tourist.

I'm just waiting for this guy to pass into my frame.


To be honest, i find it hard to use this 25mm (50mm equivalent) for street photography.
Maybe i'm so used to x100s focal length, 35mm. 
Thats why its perfect for street.
The more reason for GASing the 17mm 1.8 Oly lens.
Next on the list it is.


All pictures are shot in JPGs.
Edited in Lightroom.
With VSCO presets.

Thanks for stopping by.

Street Shooting in Singapore with Fuji X100S ..... Black and White style!


Okay, i admit. i suck at street photography.
I aint got no balls to shoot strangers in the street, up close? nop.... far? .. yea maybe i can do that...
i shoot a lot of people's back, thats how suck i am in street photography... i hate my life... not! haha...
Oh hell maybe i just make a series of people's back street photography. Instead of face, i see heads, back of heads. i always try to be a ninja, sometimes i do it, sometimes i dont. i just worried too much. And being socially retarded, i cant just ask a stranger and shoot their portrait, just not my thing. i cant talk to strangers, mama dont let me but seriously i just cant. words got stuck at my throat, literally it felt that way. But i like street photography, actually it was fun. its like a challenge and being a ninja and all, i just find it to be fun. i get to use a lot of my camera ya know. As Before.... like i mentioned, i only wait for the right buildings or the right place to take photos. now with street photography, i dont. and looking back at all the pictures i took, i felt satisfied. even though they are strangers and no pictures of me, i felt happy, and its a pleasure this street photography is.  Anyway, yadaa yadaa yadaa....where are the photos? so here goes...

i didnt do much post processing here, just a VSCO preset and pasted to every photos that i'd post. copy and pasted, thats how i roll... just like my exam papers.... sshhhh!

Picture bomb! (Lots of photos)
 Just reached hotel at about 10pm i think, and yup i shoot ppl's back...

 i loved shooting sign boards

 Nice to have a coffee place near my hotel

 MRT in Singapore is awesome. Most famous places have MRT, so its easy to explore Singapore

Here i am trying to be a ninja... saw few people smoke, i think its not that pin sharp because of the motion blur, i was too worried to be caught snapping them.

 i just had to shoot his back.

 Hello my chinese friends please translate this to me...

 i took my time to take this shot, i see her busy looking at the map, i think she wont noticed me taking her pic.

 Yes dude, i'm waiting for you to enter my frame and then i shoot. thanks

i love how the light falls here, okay okay, i shoot their backs.

i used to be crazy with guitars, at one time i had 10 guitars. now that is awesome terrible GAS!
i see Doraemon guitar, how that play? 
Honestly blogger made this look washed out, i just dont know how to fix this.

My favorite place to dine at Funan mall. i ate 2 meals here. please dont judge me. its so good!

 i dont wanna bore you with my GAS, but i am GASing for this, just today... 

 At first look i didnt realised it was handphones..

 A series of shots of people's back.



i dont know what happen here. blogger just make this look like sepia toned.

i love shooting at crossing road

 Again, blogger just doesnt seems to like dark pictures. 
This guy dont seem to mind i took his picture, i meant the map, or was it his? or the map?

 Whats down there?

 You know the rest of this story....
i went home with it, the OMD.

Cleaning services for free

 Universal Studios just across the water


 Big ball of flowers

 The cable cars.
This was supposed to be a dramatic picture, end up as washed out by blogger


My OMD died on me so i took out my x100s to continue my night street shooting 

 Wow, blogger made this super sepia toned. Motion blur due to being a ninja. this is where the stabilisation of OMD wins. 


 oh no blogger what have you done! too washed out!
This is one of my fav strangers photo. that madam is looking at me. ruuuunnn!!
i was pretending shooting the sign board above and chimping to take this shot.

 pre wed photos?? or Singaporean drama?



 You want satay? You got satay!


 Again with the Sepia tone. i think this is one of my ninja successful photo.


 Time to head home


 Look ma, i'm in the middle of the road!!!



i'll see you next time Singapore!
