Ah finally got another chance to take a small walk into a golf course down by Edmond Community College.
Took quite a number of pictures and saw this twin trunk tree. 
I always wanted to try to take a photo of a “smooth” running water fall. I guess fountain will work as well. hehehe. It was a 3 seconds and high aperture shot.

On July 19th of 2008, I had a chance to explore the low tide treasures and animal kingdoms Today was the lowest tide and the Seattle Aquarium Groups are out there on the popular beaches around Greater Seattle area.
One of them is the Richmond Beach, since it’s nearby my home, I decided to head there.
Seaweed Eel is the most popular thing with this beach. I saw them along the coast of the beach and underneath them hidden many sea lives and “treasures”.
Check out some of the photos below.

I am planning to do some photo shoot on my friends sometimes in the middle of March.
I think candid photos and some model photos are nice to learn and experience with. I heard expression photography is very fun and enjoyable.
I learned some techniques and read some books on how to take photos on people. Let’s see how it will be
The day has come for the 2008 Lunar Eclipse Astronomer said that the next Lunar Eclipse is going to be on 2010
Ah lucky me got a chance to take some photos. They are ok but not that great. I have shutter speeds between 10 to 15 as well as Av between 8.0 and 10.0. It was fun and chilly since I was taking these photos just outside my balcony.

Happy New Year 2008 to you all
Finally got a chance to stay at home and watched fireworks on t.v.
The fireworks happened on the Space Needle but apparently this year the fireworks seemed to be a little bit malfunctioning.
Some of them didn’t go out at the right time and so on. Who cares!! hahahaha as long as we enjoy 2007 and welcome 2008 right?!!
Alright!! Happy New Year to you all and wish you the best in the coming year!!
Wah it’s been awhile I have not yet updated my blog
Today, I went to Steven’s Pass to snowboard as well as experimenting with my new circular polarizer, B+W. Wow, the results are beautiful and I am loving it. The theme of the color was white and blue
Circular Polarizer did help a lot in brighten up the skies and it didn’t lose to the bright snow white land. I think the CP actually decreases the white color a little.
Brrr, today is coldd but clear sky. Got my haircut and went to a golf course, Shrine. I decided to take a few photo shots in there . It has been hard to find a clear weather in Seattle, you know hehe. I have to try to shoot in the rain as well.
I still need to learn, all my shots are way off. Below is just some of them:
A hole
The clubhouse
The winding trees
Finally got a chance to walk around Bellevue downtown area with my wife.
It was snowy on that Friday 11.31.2007 then rain heavily during the weekend.
Got us a Christmas tree and build on that Sunday
I’m back!! It’s been almost two weeks now that I haven’t had a chance to go outside to shoot.
So I just got back from a retreat in Camp Arnold, Eatonville, WA. a 3-day retreat and the first 2 days were amazing. The sky is clear, totally clear no clouds at all. Coldddd,brrrr, accompanied by a calming atmosphere.
On the first day, we reached there at about 5:30pm and it was already dark and I wouldnt want to try to take some shots (even though I did, it just turned out ugly 
). So I took some photos of my friends (there were about 120 of them attending the Christian retreat). I set my iso to 400 that way I could just shot anytime. Then I decided that I should wake up early on the following day to explore the area.
I woke up at about 5:30am and started walking around. Oh wow it was very cold , I’m guessing maybe about 28 F to 30 F? I don’t know but it was freezing haha. Took some area photos, trees, mountain, lake and buildings. One thing I did realize on that morning is that everything is so beautifully untouched and made. It seems that it was just “built”. The frozen dews, the ice-layered lake, and the mist. They made the atmosphere so soft, beautiful, and peaceful. The lighting is perfect at around 6:30am. The sun was at the horizon and started to shine on the lake and the facing Mt. Rainier.
So everything went great in the retreat (amazing retreat, by the way, and great message by Reverend Irving) until I reached home and transferred all my photo into the computer and found out that all of my photos are in ISO 400 
, you know i thought they wouldnt be worst but after looking into 1:1 ratio. noises are everywhere in every photos. hix hix.
I guess it’s ok right? hehe now I learned my lesson that I need to be prepared before a photo shooting
Below are some of the pictures that I took:
Snow flakes

A tease of Mt. Rainier

Ahh what a week of rainy days. It’s going to be challenging to take a photo during a rainy day. I’m planning on doing one hopefully this month before the snow pours in.
Finally, I had a time to clean up the messy photo folder. And tell you the truth that the Adobe Light Room is the coolest software I’ve ever found that will take care the management of my photos (< 500 photos). The searchable keywords, the presets, and many other fun and professional tools are very useful.
I poked a few around with photoshop and actions these past days and found out that there are some cool actions out there (thanks to the creators) that makes me want to create my own cool action. Below are some of the photos being photoshop’ed
