2012, what a great start. May the power and focus be with you to complete all your personal goals, resolutions, wishes or simply silly dreams that are seemingly impossible. The trick is to aim higher than you originally planned and see how far you can push forward to make a significant difference to your lives and those around you.

Happy 2012!!

Autumn is my favourite season, it is colourful, crisp and the sunlight casts lots of shadows because of the angle the sun is in the sky. It certainly makes taking pictures more interesting. We went to Queen Elizabeth Park and I was testing out the Sony Alpha NEX-5N camera with the kit lens.

In the past week or so, I have taken some test shots to try out the camera in different settings. The Lumix GF2 has a lot to offer in terms of it’s capabilities. It can be used as a simple point-and-shoot style camera, or you can flip it to the different modes and control different aspects of the camera.  Here are some of the sample photos I like to share with you.
