Turkey. what?!

Was about to embark on an intensive editing of my Tokyo photos when i realised that the turkey photos from last year was not completed yet. So there are still some random bits and parts of Turkey which I have left out.  Was probably too excited in editing the hot air balloon series and the boat trip in Dalyan series and then i kind of lost steam along the way.  Now that i look back at my hot air balloon series, i kind of cringe a little because the editing was so last-year me. That is pretty normal right? Everytime we complete something we are so damn proud of and then fast forward one year and we look back; we go "omg what was i thinking".  Yeah i guess my style in editing and taking pictures have shifted slightly. Imposing higher standards on myself and forcing myself to rethink about photography and drawing inspiration from really really really awesome photographers out there which i know i can never produce photos equal to theirs.


and can u believe it is June already? 6 months just went past like that. So much for wanting to live 2012 with a bang. Work just got more hectic as one progresses from the preparer to the reviewer; working late and burning Saturdays. But i always make a point to never let myself get sucked in too deep, that's when burn out occurs and by then it is already too late to remedy anything.

i guess travelling and doing volunteer work is 2 things that i can tick off against the list of "things in 2012 i did which is pretty awsome". No more being a procrastinating slob xh, no more!

snapshot turkey: the hot air ballon series

Some of my favourite pictures from the hot air balloon ride in Turkey. We had to wake up at an ungodly hour of 4am before a van comes to pick us up for the hot air balloon ride.  We paid approx 130 euros per pax.  It was the best spent money ever. The view was absolutely breathtaking. A definite must-do in Turkey. 

















We even got a certificate at the end of the trip!

I just discovered another freaking amazing editing software which is FOC. Oh god just when the process of editing photos cannot get any longer, I just successfully made the lengthened the entire process by nth times. I now have three editing softwares open at the same time which serves different function. So many possibilities, so little time.

Snapshot Istanbul - Basilica Cistern

I don't really want to post these pics because I just couldn't find decent pics to post. But just in case there is someone out there who is dying to see what the Basilica Cistern looks like and at that very point when he/she is googling pics of it and just couldn't find any at all due to some mysterious reasons unknown to man and then I at tt very point decided to post it and hence saving tt person from death-inducing disappointment, here are the (crap) pics:-
