Edinburgh and Isle of Skye

More pictures!

Glasgow and Edinburgh

More pictures!

Scotland (and the Isle of Skye)

I took over 3,000 pictures in a week, and here are some of them.





































































More to come! Visiting London next week!

Isle of Skye...

... is BEAUTIFUL.



Here is a picturelogue of my stay at the Island. Credit goes to my sister for her awesome trip planning (and photography).






































And oh, I'm still in the UK (Scotland to be exact).

More to come! :D

Awww

Random notes:

#1. My mum and I are going to Scotland today, and other parts of the UK in the coming days. Hopefully I'd have Internet access during my travels. I hear winter is at its very worst over there...

#2. SPCA is going to use some of my pictures for their internal publications. :P

#3. I finished amending my thesis. Would be sending a copy to my supervisor for revision and see what she has to say about it. If she accepts my work, then, I'd have to make hard copies for the Research Office, KPT, UM, and a few extra copies for friends. OMG, I'm GOING TO BE A DOCTOR! :D

#4. I'm planning to leave for the United States in 5 years time (after my tenure ends with UM) to do a postdoctoral program. Hopefully I'd be able to secure a scholarship (Fulbright?) by then.

#5. I'd be missing the KLPhoto Awards Flashback event. :/

New self-portraits

For the record, taking pics of yourself with a 50mm f/1.4 lens is no joke. I can't interface the 5D to the notebook due to some connection problems, so there is no instant feedback. It was pretty much of a challenge gauging the frame boundaries and the distance between me and the lens. I shot about 200 pictures and these were the ones that turned out pretty alright.







In case you're wondering what I'm doing to the guitar, it's a technique called 'tapping'.

Charity is a virtue

Please help to fund the ongoing efforts to help Haitians. You can make your donations here, as I've done so myself: http://dri.convio.net/
