I really hope everyone notices my improvement in my photos! Thanks for watching and please its been one year since I’ve started handling Slr’s so give me some credit! Many of these pictures are just basic pictures of just stationary cars, my dogs around the house, but many of them are advanced and good. Please watch every section, because the video’s long but I hope everyone likes my new video!!! Disclaimer: I do not in any shape or form own or have created the song in this video.

I’m also not responsible for the song however all of the pictures and video annotations are mine.
Special Mention for a really good friend and his constant support: scarysoul-quest.blogspot.com Part 2 of Tour Singapore What do you see? A photographic collage on colors, perspective and composition. “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”-Lao Tzu. A Shopper’s Paradise in Singapore. This video showcases the shopping scene of Singapore, something that visitors from all over the world enjoy doing and a tourist attraction, especially when there’s “The Great Singapore Sale.” Done by lifestyle photographer Wong Kin Leong, the photos are shot in Singapore and are inconjuction with Singapore Arts Festival. “I hope to show the side of Singapore that no one has seen before, offer something more than the ordinary and showcase a part of Singapore shopping and its city life, in a way that alters perspective and artistically abstract. Inspired by the show Watchman, and the phrase “WHAT DO YOU SEE?” A lot of the images are native to Singaporeans, and easily identifiable to them, and I hope that my photos achieves that instant recognition to my fellow countrymen. On the other hand, I want to show the world that Singapore has its quirkiness, a place to discover and enjoy, and offer the international community something distinct and unique.” 21 days of shooting 5700 photos along the shopping district of Singapore, Orchard Road and Marina Square area, 170 hours of color processing every photograph on Photoshop, 49 hours of video production on a Macbook iMovie, 1100 …

I have a few tips from that really helped me when I was at this level. First off, don’t be afraid to use auto focus, 9 out of 10 times it will be more accurate than your eye, even the pros use it. Also, the meter in your camera should be used, but don’t be dependent on it, look at the photo and judge from there. The last tip is to look at professional photo’s and see how they compose them, it’ll help try to compose your own. Take a look at Jaredpolin on youtube, he puts out really good stuff.
hey hey hey man he is still a kid and you shouldnt be saying “Why dont you go die you spoiled fucking 11 year old” just because he punched a hole in your logic.
It’s good to see more interest in photography from young people! I’m 17 and I’ve been into photography for a couple of years now. Stick with it and keep practicing. If you want a look at some of the stuff I shoot go to flickr(dot)com/amr276
keep practicing. dont worry about the haters. keep striving to do more and excel. its only a hobby why are people taking this so seriously. Hes just a kid.
please practice first, then you can put vids on youtube
One last suggestion: Try reading a book called, “Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson”.
Hey I’m fine haha at least you didn’t point and laugh and call me names, which is what I hate. This is the ciriticism stuff I like, more like tips not like “you suck at photography learn how to take a picture.”
I’m not trying to be a dick, but… one can take these pictures with a regular point and shoot. Probably even get better results. Here are a couple tips for you:
-Read the manual to understand how to effectively use the settings on your D70
-Learn to compose better
-Learn about proper/creative exposure (in other words: learn lighting)
-Go practice
im not 11 im way older than that and you think im spoiled? im the one who spent my 600 something on all that so go cry to your mommy about how jealous you are that you dont have a camera.
Why dont you go die you spoiled fucking 11 year old
Yes I have in fact why dont you go choke on some nikon capture nx2.
Ever heard of photoshop or even setting the camera to manual
Well these are digital photos actually with my D70.
What kind of film do u use?
You really should take some classes on art, technique, and composition. Most of these shots are technically good (properly exposed, focused etc.) but you’re missing a good balance between lighting, composition, color, and meaning. None of these shots say anything to me. Don’t worry though, we were all at this stage at one point
well i dunno… basically anyone can get those shots… nothing special. Their alright i guess, keep practicing bud…
Hey why don’t you post your best work buddy lets see what you got.
bleh…..
Nice job! You made some very nice pictures. Keep practicing on the dog photos. When I get a professional camera I’ll also make a vid like this for pictures. It’ll be good for myself, and for the whole entire world to see me improving ;). I sent you a friend request here on Youtube so we can “keep in touch”.
Hey thanks i appreciate all these positive comments
good stuff kid
ps, Forgot to say: Also love the song! Who is it by and what’s it called? I have to download it.
Brilliant photos, I would love to know what settings you used on some of them though as I aspire to be this good (ONE DAY!), especially the Christmas tree shots, that’s a great series. Also, I agree, the birds nest *is* so good it deserves to be included twice.
so i herd u leikk auto settings
read a photography book please. they’re all centered. boring…
this is beautiful (:
comnmented on this last year, still a great thing you did here to inspire. bravo
Singapore actually looks pretty nice. Not sure if I’d go there or Japan first.
The one right after question, “What do you see,” – Rollercoaster. .
