Day 11 - Grummmmppppyy

I am one tiger!!!! (at least he cries like one... sigh...)

My first visitors - Day 9

Thanks grandpa, Uncle Raymond, Auntie Shan, Ryan and Raphael for visiting me. Hope my crying wasn't too disturbing... kekeke.

Day 7 - Mat's finally home

An extremely chaotic but joyful moment for us coz, after 7 days Matt can finally come home with us!
Yes, finally, PTL!

Day 6 - call me 刀疤 Matt!

Poor thing is still in the pediatric ward for more Jaundice monitoring. We are worrying about him and missed him so much...  it is better for him to get the medical attention needed than staying home with parents after all, well, at least this is the logical reason to force ourselves in accepting the fact that he is still away from us.
Poor thing got a new "scar" on his right eyebrows today.  Like his father Matt has pointy fingers with sharp nails. I guess the ward removed his gloves to ease the transfer from the light box.  O well, here comes a temporary 刀疤 Matt!

Day 5 - Pediatric Ward - first diaper change

Missed Day 4 coz Matt was sent to pediatric ward for further monitoring while mommy needs to leave the hospital for rest, and so we were too hectic to take pictures. We missed Matt Matt so much already and we weren't sleeping well.
Anyway, Matt seems to have received good care at the ward (probably better than his new parents) and is growing stronger. Jaundice wasn't too much a problem now and his body temperature is rising back to normal. Keep praying that Matt Matt will grow strong and can come back with us tomorrow for some "hardcore" parenting lessons... hahhaah
And yes, my first diaper changing experience was good: no crying, no spilling, no 斟茶, no 派 pizza : )

Day 3 - feeding lesson

Didn't take much photo today coz' daddy was learning how to feed Matt Matt. Apparently Matt is really nice on daddy as he seldom gets angry even when papa is not feeding him right. Daddy spent an hour to feed 30ml which won't be successful without mammy's help (omg)!! Matt did "burp" some out later on (I guess at least 5 ml). Sorry Matt Matt and mommy, 辛苦啦！

Day 2 - Sleeping Beauty

He slept alot, except feeding time of course. Poor carol hope you can recover from the sneezing and sleepless nights... Matt Matt and I love you!

Day 1 - Rejoicing In Awe!

Our precious gift from God - Mathias.

My 1st B&W film experience

It has been a long time since I have filled up this blog with my testing shots. I am just too busy to update or practice my photo shooting skill. Is time to pick it up now.

Recently I am drawn into manual film photography. This should be the starting point for all amateurs as this could train us to do what all auto machines had done: focusing, metering, aperture setting etc... I can finally learn what the real deal is afterall.

Check out these B&W. My first attempt so they are definitely overexposed.

Canon 24 - 70 f2.8 Test Shots

I've finally made the decision to switch to Canon and wait for its full frame body (Nikon D3 is out, but it is just too pricy!) So I trade my Nikon 17-55 f2.8 for this Canon's 24 - 70 f2.8 L. I think it is just as sharp as my Nikon, and in some extent out performed it! I just need to save up enough for a cheaper 2nd hand 5D now...

(Sorry, some hand shake...)

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Canon EF 24 - 70 f2.8 L

1/100 sec f3.5 @ 68mm, iso 400

(I like Nikon's outdoor capability better than Canon, but Canon is for sure less saturated! And again, some unstable hands while driving...) 

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Canon EF 24 - 70 f2.8 L

1/60 secs f2.8 @ 32mm, iso 1600

(Canon is really good at low light and high ISO. The lens is tack sharp! woho! And yes, the yellow cast is in fact quite realistic!)
