Firstly nice photos... but I'm here to comment on the coding in notepad thing. As a programmer, might I suggest Programmer's Notepad 2. It's purely text as with notepad but does include syntax highlighting and an array of other intuitive and/or optional features that will help the hard coder. No bell's and whistles here. Just plenty of pretty colours. There is such a thing as being too pure. Some people give weird looks when I say I hard code stuff. This is not what I am doing to you. Just giving a friendly heads up from across the field. Cheers and Keep Snapping, Shawn. Hey there.

You might want to check out the local online forums (or any forums with people from your community) on photography and outings. Of course, you'll have to be careful when meeting with strangers :) Photographers usually have this unspoken good feeling for each other and can usually mingle very well and strike up conversations easily. You'll definitely feel at ease once you've found the right group to hang around with, hehe. Thanks for the compliments, Trina! p/s: Sorry for the very late reply, I didn't know why did I miss replying to this comment :/ Oh, I see.

I stuck to one for around three years before finally deciding on the switch. Afterall, photography is an expensive hobby and if one wants to dive into it, he/she'll have to consider the option seriously :P @Hilary: Thanks for the compliments! Yea, I love going for photo outings because not only we get to learn from each other but more importantly, we get to share lenses and equipments (that we usually don't come across or can't afford to buy) with other people. @Brandy: You don’t need to have a good camera like a dSLR to be a photography :) a consumer-grade digital cam will do you good.

I'm glad that you liked it :) Ah, we only went around Hort Park that day and didn't go elsewhere - we were so tired shooting that afternoon that we ditched the plan to walk back to Vivocity and settled for a bus trip instead. Haha! Southern Ridges is a great nature trail to follow and I wish to visit that place again in the near future. Knowing how to use the words <em>aperture</em> and <em>shutter speed</em> makes you a semi-pro already, teehee!

I'll be more than happy to cover wedding events - it's such a joyous, spritual, emotional and ritualistic event, making it a unique experience for the photographer as well. The snail is actually very small - it's shell is around the size of your pinky's nail. It just looks very big because there is a lack of physical cues in the photo for you to compare its size with - plus, I'm using macro filter which enlarges the subject. Can't wait for the best Christmas present I've ever got - removing those dreadful braces, heheh! Thanks for your compliments, Cherla!

I could never grow tired of it. If only I had a DSLR, I’d spend hours outdoors, snapping. I could never grow tired of it.

I rarely hear about photography workshops being held here. They are normally a ways away. Although, I may just check up on that because it has always sounded so much fun. :) A friend of mine in California goes to them quite often and learns from some really good photographers. I'd love to do the same some time. :) I think your macro shots are absolutely gorgeous, Teddy. If these are your amateur photos.. I can not wait to see what you come up with next! You know..
