circle of life

my sister-in-law delivered a baby boy on wednesday. he is the first grandchild in both families and everyone was particularly overjoyed.

his name is Kedric and heard that the chinese name will be 萧恩豪。

this blog entry will enable his name to be searchable in the Internet, heh.

the "walkaround" lens

took the d80 and the 18-200mm lens out for a shoot during the chinese new year at sentosa flower festival. see them here.

think i must improve more on the depth of field and the exposure.

new addition: the 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 vibration reduction (VR) lens!

the wide range of focal lengths is touted as flexible enough for anyone to use it for 90% of situations.

got myself a new spare battery and an external flash over the weekend.
