So far the furthest I've been travelling was to Nottingham for the Malaysian Games. Miserable outing really, both on and off the football pitch, and an experience I would not want to go through again.
Managed to take a shot of my trusty 'ol gloves though, by the side of the pitch. Shot at the widest angle of the lens (17mm on a D70s), with aperture wide open at f/2.8 to blur the background.
So after a couple of months in England, I finally went on my first ever photo trip over here! Decided to check out the Lord Mayor's Show, which is an annual parade through the streets of central London to commemorate the appointment of the new Mayor of London. This shot is one of my favourites from the shoot. This spirited girl got caught up in the excitement of the day and broke ranks to wave at the crowd while her pals obediently marched on. Decided to draw attention to her in the photo by turning everything else except her into black and white. Certainly makes her "pop-out", doesn't it?
Well then, I've actually dreamt up the idea of having a blog dedicated to my photography hobby quite some time ago, when I launced the OzzyPhoto.com site. However, it never really got off. Until now, that is. Due to an important technical hitch (i.e. my miserable web-designing skills), I've given BlogSpot the honour of hosting my blog!
And something else has changed too. I've now been in London for the past couple months. Back to school for the better of my dayjob. Bucket-loads of new photo opportunities, if I can find the time amidst classes and coursework, that is. Really, really miss taking photos at weddings though. Well, who knows I might be able to be the official photographer at Prince William's wedding, eh?
Anyway, would appreciate it if you could come have a peek every once in a while. Cheerio!
