Minghui Being Random.

Okay finally got around to developing the film I got from Ryan's camera a long long time ago. Most of the pictures are from the time I sent my digital camera for repair and borrowed Ryan's Minolta X-700.

Left: Me. Right: Ryan. I like the eyebrows hahahaha.

Haha I think it's an awesome camera, if only I had money to go buy a Nikon FM-10 ah.. It's quite challenging to take pictures with the X-700, cause you have to focus manually, check the shutter speed/aperture because changing ISO would mean changing film, and meter correctly. And you can't spam shots like crazy since a picture costs about 60 cents. =X A lot of my pictures turned out blurry and underexposed and all that la. But I think the pictures still look somewhat nice. =)

Didn't photoshop anything at all, besides adding the watermarks, cause i'm lazy I think all the pictures I took are just random snapshots. Hahaha.

I thought this sign looked weird, so I took a picture of it.

What? Rule of thirds?

Ssshh.

Tried to take random people on the streets. Haha so scary what if they get angry and demand I delete the picture! =O

No idea where the other boot went to.

New skyscraper. Hahahahaha. Random.

"Eh Ryan stay there ah.." *spends 5 minutes trying to focus correctly*

Ryan on cellphone. Haha but blur la cause he moved. Or I moved. Or maybe I focused wrongly hahaha.

I think the colors from the film are awesome. =D

The *click* from the shutter when you press the button is very shiok also. More shiok than my D80 la. Hahaha.

Long exposure.

Wee tyco shots. Hahaha.

The signboard actually says "Hao Xiang Seafood Restaurant" which I've never realised before and hence took a picture of but forgot that the shutter speed at that level of light would kill the text and make it unreadable but anyways it says "Hao Xiang Seafood Restaurant" la. =D

Hahaha. Another random shot of Ryan. I think I got too many la. People might get the wrong idea. Blee.

Wrong focus. =/

Ryan playing my guitar. Also wrongly focused or motion blurred I think. But nevermind this has the soft focus effect. =D

Haha I think I'll probably edit some of the images here and post them to DeviantArt, so if you want to witness Minghui's awesome photoshopping skillz see better looking photographs you can go there. =P

Old Changi Hospital.

Went with Ryan to collect his tee-shirts he ordered online at Bugis Junction some Saturday back, and we decided to go to Old Changi Hospital to take pictures. =D

The bus ride was horribly long. I think we spent like 3 hours + taking buses around the entire Singapore that day la. From Bugis to Hougang, then from Hougang to Changi, from Changi back to Hougang, from Hougang to Punggol. Blah. I don't mind long bus rides, but after the first hour or so it gets really siann. =/

Blahh.

Anyways, we stopped outside the place, and we saw this:

Gasp. Can you see?

AHHH.

Photoshop. Hahahahaha. Okay the rest of my photos weren't photoshoped except for contrast and exposure and white balance la, so if you see anything unusual you know..

Ryan pointing at a sign.

Graffiti was everywhere around the place, most of the window panes were broken, ceilings with holes, all that stuff.

A chair in the middle of the room.

The left hand has a lot of fingers. =O

Taken by Ryan. =)

Left = Me, Right = Ryan

I think this was pretty scary, cause you wouldn't expect the labels below the cupboards to still be there after 20+ years.

Elevator.

Look closely. Hahaha.

Ryan was lucky enough to capture two hands appearing out of a window. This picture was photoshopped caused there was some er graffiti on the right wall.

Dunno whose hands arh. *looks around innocently*

When walking at one of the common ward areas, Ryan suddenly went: "Woah.", then I looked at his direction and went: "Woah."

Cause we saw this.

No I didn't bring a barbie doll there and burnt it halfway just to take this photograph. It was..just there.. *cue dramatic music*

The top floor was the scariest part for both of us. We were like climbing the stairs when we realised that this herb, incense kind of smell was getting stronger. Then at the top we saw candles.

Probably bought from Ikea. -.-

But the incense smell was very strong, and there was this slightly open door, and the room was pitch black except for 1 candle on the floor in the darkness. Suddenly to the left we heard a lady chanting. So, we turned and ran laa. Hahahahaha. At that time it was about 7pm already, so we left to Changi beach to take more pictures.

HDR picture.

Yup that's about it. You can find out more about Old Changi Hospital by Google searching, haha. Turns out it's been around for about 70 years? Slated to be torn down soon though. =/
