Waterfalls in UK

Other than the beautiful Black Linn Falls at The Hermitage, there are a few other waterfalls that Jed and I went to as well. On the way up the Gibson’s Cave and Summerhill Force is this unnamed fall. A 10-stop ND filter is used to obtain a long exposure which gives the silky-smooth effect to… Continue reading Waterfalls in UK

The Hermitage

Located in The Hermitage at Dunkeld, Scotland, Ossian’s Hall is a little nondescript building which overlooks the Black Linn Falls. It’s the beginning of fall, so the trees have started to change colour, which makes a good backdrop for the little house. Entering the house reveals a lookout point for the Black Linn Falls. Again,… Continue reading The Hermitage

Calton Hill, Edinburgh

When I first arrived at Edinburgh, I was greeted by the typical greyish UK weather. I was kind of disappointed but since I was already there I decided to see what I can get out of it. I’ve seen many nice photographs taken from Calton Hill, so despite the appalling weather decided to go up… Continue reading Calton Hill, Edinburgh

Loch Katrine

Our final stop is Loch Katrine, where we also stopped at the Stronachlachar Pier Tea Room for a drink and some snacks. It’s a cosy little place and the owner appears to be a photography enthusiast as well, working on some beautiful photos which he’s taken in the morning. Outside the tea room, we can… Continue reading Loch Katrine

The weather is still holding out pretty well, which provided the nice lighting that we all love. I posted this shot on Facebook and a friend… Continue reading Loch Chon

The weather didn’t start out too well (typical grey weather of the UK), but thankfully after the few hours drive to Loch Lomond in Scotland, UK, it got much better. We stopped by at one side… Continue reading Loch Lomond

In Memory of 9/11

Today marks the 9th year of the September 11 attacks on Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City. The attack left the 2 majestic towers in rubble and killed more than 2,000 people. Back in 1998, I was in Manhattan, New York to attend the now-defunct Internet World. Unfortunately, I didn’t… Continue reading In Memory of 9/11

Little India – Traditional Indian Stalls

With bigger bookstores and new magazines all around the country, we seldom get to see the traditional magazine stalls anymore. But here in Little India, there are still some around. The books and magazines are neatly spread out on the table, and more are hung from clotheslines at the top. This makes for a colourful… Continue reading Little India – Traditional Indian Stalls
