Introducing Noni

For all of you who followed my blog since I started, I posted some photos of Feri and Shierlyne around April / May 2008. I got the chance again last month to do some photos with them again.

Shierlyne's sister Stephanie (Noni) also tagged along with us, so it seemed like a fun idea to include her in the photos and as it turned out it is.

Easy T/S effect

Stumbled on this site http://tiltshiftmaker.com/ which can turn your normal photos into T/S photos :)

It is fun and addictive. But still nothing could beat the real T/S lens. I think personally the blur is a bit thick (think Gaussian Blur in PS), unlike lens blur in the real lens. That being said, it is really close to the real thing and no photoshop needed :D.

Tropical garden courtyard with lush greenery. Looks very refreshing but that day is very very hot.

I think this is the entrance from inside. I am not sure.

Flying B777-300ER

When we went back to Jakarta on last November, we got the chance to hop on the B777-300 ER Singapore Airlines. Inside, it was almost look alike the A380 cabin, but still it is more quite in the A380. These planes are also new, I think they are also delivered in 2007.

Overall experience : priceless :)
