Of running and Photography

It had been 10 days since I had posted anything. I was supposed to run the orange run but unfortunately, something crop up the last minute. Anyway, I am glad that I trained consistently since the past few weeks and it seemed that my momentum is going strong. However, there is one thing that I needed to learn and that is how to run fast. This is something different altogether. Although I can see an overall improvement in my pacing but then, I would not consider it to be fast. Well, there is one thing that I know and that is, in order to race fast, I must train to run fast. Sigh..it's going to be another painful weekend.

As for photography, right now I am concentrating on night shots only. I had completed my first night shot project (idea is adapted from 'Practical Photography Magazine') and I had named it City Abstracts. Below are the samples of some shots that I had made.

One of the key challenges in taking the photos above are my lack of proper equipment where I was supposed to use a wide angle lens of 17mm for this shot instead of 28mm lens. Not only that, the f-stop is slow in comparison of f-11 which is required to create better effects. The worst is that, I did not have a proper tripod where the legs are supposed to be flexible. Anyway, fixing the camera to the front passenger seat proved to be a tough task and I had to make sure that all the framing, focus is done before setting out for the night shots. Well, the result turned out to be pleasant enough and I am considering doing another round of this. Wish me luck.
