INTRODUCTION

when I first held a camera in my hands at the age of 15, I 

knew I would not part with the interest of capturing still images for the rest of my life.  Taking photographs for more than 20 years now, I have not taken it up as a profession or as a money making tool. It is purely a passion for the hobby and subject I'm capturing. 

I’m always fascinated by nature subjects and the ways they have evolved to enable them to survive in the wild.  In the beginning of 2003, I started to get a little bit serious about Nature Photography. Boy! Never did know it was going to be so tough....

In Singapore, where I live, opportunities for taking pictures of wildlife is difficult because we do not have a lot of land to spare for wildlife habitat. Weather and natural lighting are also not always ideal for nature photography. All these factors make it difficult to capture successful images, but when the goal is achieved, the satisfaction is beyond what words can describe. And nothing else seems worth doing more.

There is one single very important thing in nature photography that one has always to remember when he or she is doing Nature photographing, and that is ... 

... the welfare of the nature subject always comes first in the course of photographing.

This web site has been created by myself to share with you the images that I have captured. Most of the images are captured in their natural state in Singapore, unless otherwise stated.

I'm constantly learning more about nature and how to capture such images in the best way. Please feel free to drop me a comment or two with your views, experiences and recommendations - I want to improve on my techniques and create even better results to share with you all.
