Fireflies Stop Motion on Whiteboard.

City Skyline.

Black & White.

I was just looking at a few black and white photos on Flickr again.
I found a few that I really liked.

I do NOT own the photos in this post.

New York & Sydney.

Haven't taken pictures recently as I have been very busy.

But here are some of my favourite city photos that I have

found on Flickr!

Rain, rain.

It's been raining for the past few days here in Sydney.
I thought that I might share some snaps I took whilst it's raining.

Hello!

I decided to make a quick flash animation with my light graffiti/painting skills.
It only took about 5-10 minutes to do this - quick and easy!

All you need is a light source for e.g. a flash light or even glow sticks, set the
camera settings to ISO 100, the aperture high, depending on how dark the room
is and the shutter speed to 10 seconds or more allowing you to draw/paint whatever
you want to.

Here's how mine turned out!

The bridge and lights.

There's a bridge at The Ponds and it's so nice to look at during the night!
I took this photo before all more and more houses were being built in the area.
Now, you can barely see the view of the bridge unless you drive past it.

I couldn't help but take at least one long exposure photo! The photo above is so random but
at the same time colourful and artsy looking.

Ice pops!

Eating one of these were a part of childhood. They were so delicious! 

The other day, I decided to purchase some after not having them for a 

very long time. I liked how they looked when I rearranged some of them

into rainbow colour order :-)

Mmm tea.

So this is clearly another of my random posts.
Anyways, I bought some Arizona Green Tea today. It was my first time
trying it and I like it. It's quite tasty. I also like the design on the bottle.
Here are some photos of what it looks like :-)

City.

I love the city. I love taking photos of the views. Especially at night. It's just so spectacular.
I went to this event last year, called "Vivid". It's a festival of lights, music and ideas here in Sydney.
Basically, it's an art of light projection on the Sydney Opera House and the Customs House.
Below are some of the photographs I have taken during then night I went.

A little GIF, I made of the art at VIVID.

As you just saw, VIVID is really amazing to see and just sit back and watch. They did many
other wonderful projections that makes everyone literally go "wow" at soon as they see it.
I'm hoping to go again this year!

Here is a video I found on Youtube on this year's VIVID.

The Moon.

I have this fascination with moons, especially full moons. They're so interesting to look at.
I have taken a few photos of the moon, but the shots below would have to be my favourite
as you can see the characteristics of the moon clearly.

Autumn's almost gone and Winter's nearly here.

Another season has almost finished. Here comes the cold weather!
I have taken some shots when I went to Kuringai National Park.
I really love the colours of the leaves on this tree. So pretty. Actually, I just love Autumn.

 The day we went was heaps chilly and rainy.
Fortunately, we had a mini-barbeque to keep us warm for the day!

Drive to Manly Dam. (short post)

Last year, I remember going to Manly Dam with my family and relatives for a little get-together.
We had a small picnic and the males went fishing, but unfortunately didn't catch any fish. Here are a just a few random shots I took on the way to and at Manly Dam.

On the way to Manly Dam!

Macro shot of a tree.

Long exposures.

Here are another two photos I have taken that are long exposures.

Long exposure of street and traffic lights using Sony NEX-5.

Long exposure of Christmas lights using Canon EOS 1000D.

So basically to get this effect, you set the ISO to 100 (though you may want it higher if you're exposing for only a short time), set the shutter speed to whatever time you want, preferably 10 seconds or longer, also you need to set the F-stop (aperture) to a high number to enable the lights to stand out better.

Since the lights aren't movable on their own, I had to zoom in and out multiple times to get the long exposure effect. This doesn't need to be done if you're taking a photo of for example, cars on the road driving and things like that.

Doing long exposure photography is one of my favourite as it's fun to do and the photos look good!

The Gummy Bears vs. The Snakes.

This was an assignment I did for IST in 2009/10 with a friend. It consisted us of doing a stop motion video. We decided to do a gummy bears vs. the snakes "war" type of theme.

Hope you enjoy! I'll be posting a few more stop motion videos in the future.

Welcome to the idc photography blog!

Well here is the first post! Hope you enjoy it as what will be posted here is all to do with the photographs I have taken.
