A holiday snapshot taken during dinner at Nando’s at the London Wembley Designer’s Outlet… I bought a Canon Powershot G7X Mark II at a discount by trading in an old camera that my toddler broke as a toy. As a “serious” compact, the camera came in useful when I did not feel like lugging my heavy gear along to dinner. The image quality is certainly a lot better than if I had just relied on my iPhone alone.
From the sakura (Japanese cherry blossoms) display at the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore… From Wikipedia: “For the Japanese, sakura are richly symbolic. The transience of the blossoms, the exquisite beauty and volatility, has often been associated with mortality and graceful and readily acceptance of destiny and karma.” Dedicated to an old friend… may he rest in peace.
The weather on our most recent trip to the UK was challenging for photography. Most of the days were extremely blustery, cold and rainy. In fact, there was a day where we could hardly take any pictures because of the unrelenting rain! Just when we had packed up our cameras for good on the day before our departure, blue and sunny skies greeted us on our drive back to London. Our original intention was to grab some lunch and do some shopping at the Designer Outlet at Wembley. In the end, we ended up taking pictures. I did not have my DSLR kit handy and had to make do with the Canon G7X Mark II. With the kind of bright lighting we experienced, I could use the lowest ISO setting possible and avoid noise typically associated with smaller sensor cameras.
