CNY Second Weekend

The second weekend of CNY was just as busy. Had events on both days. GENERAL_

7th Day
Had the honour of hosting the in-laws at our place. Mahjong was the order of the day. Also, the in-laws were lucky to be treated to lion/dragon dance organised at our estate.



These images were taken with the Olympus C-750UZ mostly at high zooms as I was shooting from the 12th floor.

8th Day
Had a gathering at a cousin's place. As 6th Feb is Dad's birthday, we had a small celebration for him. Happy 69th Birthday!

Fish Magic

Watch goldfish swim in formation. Wonder how he did this. Magnets? Robotic Aibo Fish? FISH_

Screenshots of Death ...

Discovered these cool SCREENSHOTS which I took of "dead" bodies in various poses (while scanning for images in my hard disk). They are collected from various frag sessions of CS Source. I particularly like the "Pelvic Thrust of Terror" ...

Ricoh R3 Firmware Update

This may be old news but a new firmware update for the Ricoh R3 (v1.28) is out, less than one month from the previous update! This can be taken as good news or bad news ... Photography_

Bad: The camera got lots of things to fix!
Good: Ricoh is actively working to improve the camera!

Will post some updates on the firmware improvements this evening after I download and install it.

OK, have just installed the update and tested the camera under indoor flourescent lighting conditions. Acquisition of focus seems to be faster. Otherwise, images captured are more or less the same.
