Mist

I took this yesterday at the wind turbine .. when we went up there in the evening, it was all covered in low lying clouds.. and all foggy.. very spooky feeling .. like you are in Silent Hill.
Then I started taking photos..
I was trying to explain some flash usage to them and shot this as a proof :D
more to come later..

I took this a couple of months back.. Just revisited to adjust color and contrast again and posted. Its a water sculpture but when I am about to take the photo, the water stopped. Well, just my luck. I could have go and take again but been lazy these days.

Wellington Sunday

Last Sunday, I just drove out to the city to have lunch but stopped at the bay to take some of the photos here. All are taken with my Sigma 10-20 mm f4-5.6 EX DC. I have to use more of this lens.I was very surprised and happy when I got good comments on this photo in my Flickr from Alonsodr . He makes amazing landscape photos and he uses the same Sigma 10-20mm EX DC lens.. It's also one of the reason for me to grab this lens in the first place.

It's at Newtown.. I was there to get Thai Food but the shop is still closed .. So I snapped this photo of the dairy/flower shop next to Thai take-away shop.

Weekend Shopping

I went to Cuba street past weekend to do some shopping .
Saw this guy playing some shredding lead tunes with Wah.. from Boss ME50.
Cool..

On the way to manners street .. I was holding my camera in my waist level and shooting this..
I kinda like this way to shoot.. total unpredictability.. and not really attracting much attention..

Shops on Manners street..

This is where I wanted to go.. I was looking for Rush Chronicles Album but no luck.
Hard to find good CD shop these days.. with MP3s and online stores.. sigh..

This is the Crepes shop on manners.. they sell really yummy Crepes.

Wellington ..

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. A nice little city that I am currently living and working.
These are some of the snaps I took on the Cuba street. Its a very nice place to visit .. either for the nice restaurants, shopping or great nite scene..
I'll slowly post more wellington pictures..

Lunch at Sweet Mother's Kitchen

Okay.. I'll try to post something out of my mundane regular life. We went out to this great Mexican restaurant in town "Sweet Mother's Kitchen" last Wednesday. They serve really good authentic Mexican food. (We as in bunch of colleagues from Layout department. )

For some reason, Pete running back from the parking meter.

The inside of Sweet Mother's Kitchen ..

It's such a lovely day in Welly.. We had a table outside the restaurant.. It's nice but Wellington sun can be really burning.. Thanks to the Ozone hole above Antarctica, New Zealand have really high skin cancer rate. But some dudes are throwing Rugby on the street . You can also see part of the giant camera monster sculpture made by Weta Workshop in dedication to Wellington's Film heritage and industry.

As usual, Pete ordered lots of stuffs for Lunch. He's a vegetarian and he work out hard twice a day so its not much of a problem to keep fit.

On the way back.. on Courtney place..

We bought some chocolates too.. Woot.. They are really good..
