		<description><![CDATA[Into nostalgia these days, so I love that sort of vintage look. It tends to be desaturated but I still like my colours punchy. This was taken with my 50mm f/1.2 but stopped down to f/2.8. Pretty hard getting things in focused in the wind, so this was a pretty lucky shot. * * * [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Learned that in pictures, our eyes start from the brightest part before scanning the entire image. This was taken at the apartment we stayed at in Paris and we had to take the stairs up and down each day, so there were days when we&#8217;d just struggle up the four floors as we had been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Flowers are everywhere. It&#8217;s summer even if the weather isn&#8217;t quite indicative of it. The GF1 and the 20mm pancake make creative photos, and one thing I have learned from using the Hipstamatic app on the iPhone is that you can always tweak the colours to give it a nostalgic look. It&#8217;s not always about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Take the GF1 almost everywhere these days and took a casual picture of the food we eat when dining out. This was with a bunch of friends at a roadside shop selling Bak Kut Teh and various flavours of fish head. Gave the picture a black and white treatment as I don&#8217;t like the default [...]]]></description>

Have an idea to put them onto a rolling tray to be stowed in a cupboard and labelled for easy access. * * * Heh, personally run out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just went through the kitchen like a whirlwind, clearing it up. Heh, just pent up energy, needing to be spent. It feels good doing physical labour sometimes, just washing dishes, sweeping and mopping the floor. Some days I ignore how messy it is, other times I just want to clear everything up. Although I feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vyanne was inspired to cook over the weekend. She prepared roast pork topped with a layer of smashing crackling, on top of a bed of sliced green apple and brussel sprouts, a drizzle of chacuterie sauce and mash potatoes on the side. Enjoyed dinner with a bottle of 2008 Gembrook Hill Pinot Noir. The wine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The photo on its own is uninspiring, but I liked the placement of the objects in the frame. This was after getting off the balloon. For a few posts in a row I&#8217;ve not focused on food photos. Heh. Ran it through Photomatix to get the HDR look. Bits of the sky have been overexposed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I like my pictures better with the external flash. White light just looks so much more flattering against anything but I guess you can change the mood of existing light. Afterall, a picture is just how you interpret the light falling on the objects you see. The dish above was a simple dish [...]]]></description>
