Blog: Photo Booth Fun September 17, 2008

I’ve been owing a lot of money recently, no money for Neoprints! But fear not, there is always MAC PHOTO BOOTH for my camwhoring pleasure!  (I took 126 photos total)

One sad thing about Photo Booth is that it flips images horizontally ): ): Anyway I recommend that everyone makes a trip to the Mac Lab just for this amazing application.

Spontaneous Photos: Skies and Weather September 6, 2008

Filed under: Photos, Spontaneous — themiaobureau @ 3:02 pm

If you know me well enough, I have this strange obsession with rain. I get really majorly happy whenever it starts to rain, preferably in the afternoon or at night. This time, I was just getting out of the toilet when the rain just… poured down. And it was damn huge and lasted for quite a bit. The two photos are quite different because one tells the “during” and one is the “afterwards”.

Something else that gets my mood going is sunsets and sunrises, but more so sunsets because the hues in the sky are that much more brilliant. I like the second picture more personally, and living where I am allows me to see such wonderful things approximately thrice a week.

This is the part just before and after the reddest clouds, which last only one minute long. I actually like the first photo more because of the silhouettes of the HDB, they kind of indicate the location from where the photo was taken.

Lastly, two more from NYGH, which has really beautiful skies except nobody bothers to look up that often. During morning assembly, when they mark attendance I always remember to see whether the clouds are beautiful that day.

Photos taken with Sony Ericsson K770i, 3.2 megapixel camera and it’s really very nice :D

People

I like spontaneous pictures because they’re all charming/silly/dumb and all end up with some quirky thing that makes them cool and worth keeping. With the advent of a new phone, I guess I’ll be taking a lot more.

 

Let’s Get The Ball Rolling! January 7, 2008

Filed under: Spontaneous — themiaobureau @ 1:39 pm

In The December Holidays,

I went to Gold Coast, Australia. It was really a beautiful place, much in a different sense from the idealistic gold sands, caressing sun and soft waves actually. It had these waves which crawled up the sand after crashing, and that pressed and rushed against your feet as they slid back into the sea. Footprints left drew little angles in the receding water. We went out one morning to see the sunrise, this reddish blob that became gold, then too bright to look at.

On a spur of the moment I stuck my bottle into the sand cap down (needless to say that bottle never touched any part of my face thereafter) and set my camera on auto-timed capture. Then I ran out into the waves and did something only stupid tourists on a spur of the moment ever do: jump like an idiot waiting for the shutter to go off.

Worth the effort of looking like a headless chicken? See for yourself.

I like the colour of the sunrise. If I had to describe it in one word, here it is: delicious. Especially where the wave slides off the shore and there’s a mirror-like quality to the sand. Image is cropped so as to put myself and the sun at the same level. Haha, more human than human ;)
