  • Random. A Photography Showcase. Part 1 of PLAY on a Nikon D300

    …now what shall I shoot next???.. a series of works named “Play” by wahliao.com www.wahliao.com A photographic journal of Singapore as seen by lifestyle photographer, Wong Kin Leong, on 10 Shot entirely on a Nikon D300 with a 10.5mm f2.8 DX fisheye lens, this series was inspired by the randomness and chaos of life and its journeys. This video, together with “Colourful” www.youtube.com is a collection of videos that showcase Singapore and its people. Random starts off as Kin Leong leaves the house, and starts a journey of randomness, photographing anything that takes his fancy. The choice of a wide angle fisheye lens for this series is carefully chosen to reflect the cosmopolitan nature of Singapore as the fisheye perspective seems to capture the wide expanse of the country to easily incorporate with ease all foreigners into the country and catering to the needs of the international community at large. Random deals with Singaporeans and their lives, being an entity of a larger community and their intimate mingling with each other on a random chaotic stage, meeting friends, transit through the city, struggling to make it through the day at the workplace, strangers whom they meet on the streets and then end back at home to be with their loved ones.

  • Dragon Age in 1080P 3D Anaglyph(Red+Blue glasses)

    I’m a sucker for gimmicks like 3D but to be honest, I do really think it’s more immersive, it makes old games more interesting to play again too and it’s a lot of fun. I haven’t played dragon age in forever so excuse me for the lack of any tactics involved in the combat, I completely forgot how to play the game but I just wanted to make a 3D video. I have other games that work great aswell, it works with nearly every game and I’m thinking about buying a 3D monitor because anaglyph does mess up the colours and hurts mah head.

The Evolution of Fire wind power 3d animation was created to demonstrate Anifex’s 3d ability to market industrial design and product design. The entire 3d model was created in Maya so that the parts, gears, belts, wind blade, etc. actually move in sync with each other. This allowed the 3d animation to achieve the photo realistic 3d quality by all the parts performing their function correctly. Anifex felt that it was important to draw the viewer in and make the connection between the hypothetical caveman’s first discovery of fire, which may have resulted from lightning hitting a tree and creating a spark. This connection was originally going to be created as a one cell cartoon that Anifex was going to place on the product design. As an afterthought, it was decided that it would have much more impact if a 3d animated character was used instead. The 3d

  • 25 June, 2010 – Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 – A Field Report By Nick Devlin

    Back in the day – when ISO 400 was fast – high speed lenses were something to be lusted after. But now, with ISO 1600 delivering excellent quality, and some cameras capable of greater than ISO 100,000, they have lost their luster. Or have they?

    For some the appeal of ultra-fast lenses is not so much their light gathering power, but rather their shallow depth of field. One of the fastest lenses currently available at affordable prices for the Leica M9 is the Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1.

    Today Nick Devlin provides us with his field report on this lens, based on a shoot in Olympic National Park this past May.
