My 1st foray in sepia and black & white

As I'm still swamped with lots of various things, I'll just post some pics of my trip to San Diego as promised in the last post. On the last day of my trip in Feb, I 'discovered' the sepia and black and white modes. -_-||| It's my uncle's camera anyway...so was still a bit new to some of the functions...So, it all started from here at Seaport Village, which is a very nice and clean version of Kuching Waterfront. There were lots of ppl just hanging out, enjoying the live band (there were even ppl dancing along..so cute), walking their dogs, story-tellers, fortune tellers, portrait artists, kids running around, bbqs, ppl just lying around on the grass. Everything just seemed really relaxed and made for interesting subjects. I guess it's coz that was Superbowl weekend. Great timing huh? :D


It took forever to get this shot as there were lots and lots of ppl walking past just as I was taking it :P

This may look like the kid posed for me, but I just happened to spot him and another kid playing around the area. I thought this was a great contrast shot, between the kid and the tree, though you can't really notice the kid at first.

Another candid shot of 2 more boys feeding the seagulls. So hard to take this coz I didn't want to use flash and startle the 'models'...and the birds kept moving...

In addition to the 'relaxed' culture, I like taking photos in US bcoz of their clear blue skies! Such a nice colour and not a cloud in sight.

This looks rather gloomy n barren, doesn't it..hehe..but i like the play of light and shadow :P
