Final post

Thanks for everyone who have visited this blog of mine over the last couple of years or so, including those who have stopped by every once in a while since my last post LAST YEAR. But, as the title says, this is my last post on this blog.

Good news is, from now on, my one (and only!) blog would be at:

http://tehtarik.blogspot.com

On the Teh Tarik blog, I would be commenting mainly on films, photography, football and tech - things that fill up my time whenever I'm not behind my desk at the office. So please do dedicate some of your weekly internet surfing towards the blog!

Reflections

Right. The first of many snaps taken during a recent trip to Granada in Andalucia, southern Spain. This was taken inside the Nasrid Palaces in the Alhambra. I think I spent almost 15 minutes just standing there waiting for tourists to clear!

Street Performer

This is my first post in ages! This Native American performer is a regular sight in the main pedestrian mall in central Harrow in the outskirts of London. A very captivating performer, with his various instruments and unique style. Definitely not your typical busker!

Anyway, it was shot at 200mm at f/2.8, and made a triptych out of the several shots that I had to capture a range of poses in one image.

Stoned!

Went on a trip round the Southwest of Great Britain - The West Country. A trip that took me all the way to the very tip of the island at Land's End, via Stonehenge, the Jurassic Coast, quaint fishing villages, and of course Cornish cream tea and Cornish ice-cream!

Still going through the tonnes of photos that I snapped. For a teaser, here's Stonehenge. A bunch of big rocks that you are charged £5 to see!

Beck for good?

DAVID BECKHAM IS BACK! Yeah, he may be overrated and overhyped. But the fact is, he's still the best crosser and dead-ball specialist in a Three Lions shirt. Anyway, I was there for England's first international at the NEW Wembley stadium. Great stadium, great facilities - escalators instead of stairs! However, the atmosphere was just not there, unlike Old Trafford.

Snap is of Beckham in his trademark freekick pose. Taken using my 80-200mm f/2.8 at full zoom and cropped.

In Fashion

Did a shoot last week for a mate's portfolio. Very talented guy, you can find his full portfolio here.

Que Sera Sera!

Went to Wembley Stadium on Saturday for the FA Cup Final. Not to watch the match though, as like the boy above, I too did not have a ticket. But just to experience the atmosphere of a Wembley Cup Final involving United, plus it was also a good chance to get in a few snaps.

Sadly we eventually lost the match, albeit to a moment of brilliance from the Chelsea attack. Oh well. At the end of the day, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND!
