Weddings and RamblingsI’m rather busy processing photos so i can’t really post much. Just wanted to write a few lines to remind people that i’m still alive.
I only realised last week, that when I migrated my website to my new address, I forgot to update my email address on the webpage and blog. The joys of aging :S.
My apologies to all the people who have tried to contact me with my old address.
I’ll be away from 24th Oct – 1st Nov, so I would like to finish all the photos for my couple before I fly off. As and soon as I’m done, I’ll pick out some photos for posting.

Ok ok … I admit I haven’t been updating my blog regularly, it just so uneventful the past few weeks.
Just a couple of updates.
Anyway, I just returned from Hong Kong earlier this month after a fruitless camera gear hunt, but happily stuffed with HK delicacies and cheap clothes. It was kindoff a working-holiday trip… my gf went there to work, and i took the holiday for her, prowling the streets of HK for the best bargain on camera equipment.
One piece of advice : If you are planning to go to HK for camera shopping, bring cash. The prices there aren’t really that much cheaper compared to Singapore anymore, and when u add in a 2% credit card surcharge and an unknown exchange rate… lets just say that you may end up coming back empty handed.
My old webbie mirareste.com has officially died (I need to figure out how to get the domain transfer done) so I hope all the mail doesn’t go missing. If anyone is looking for me, and managed to find this blog, well, I can be reached at darrel@weddingsbydarrel.com (no surprises here, considering the website name)
Just shot a ROM last weekend. I’ve already dropped shooting ROMs from my service list and haven’t been shooting these for a couple of months already. But a close friend called me up on saturday morning to ask me to stand in for him as he wasn’t feeling well. (Yes, all of us ethical photographers have fellow photographers on standby). Anyway, Congratulations to the couple Ivan and Zane, and hope you like the photos (when you receive them). As requested, the photos will not be online. 
Anyway, Sept-October is going to be a pretty busy month, with 3 weddings, a korea trip and project work thrown in. I hope I can manage to get some rest… In the meantime, I guess I have to practice my storing up sleep like how camels store water.
Snooze.

Cindy’s husband, Andy managed to get hold of 4 tickets for the singapore fireworks celebration display for yesterday. Unfortunately, Cindy is overseas, so she couldn’t make it, so Andy sold us the tickets.
Anyway, we’re having a burst of crappy weather the past 2 weeks, and yesterday was no exception. It was pouring in the afternoon, and when the time came for the fireworks, it has moderated to a slight drizzle, but still unpleasant.
My past few attempts at shooting fireworks were shot from the sheares bridge, which provided a fantastic spot for photography, but in the recent years, they have stopped allowing people up the bridge.
Shooting from the floating platform was actually quite a pain because of the range, as well as how quickly the place got smoked out yesterday. After firing off about 10 shots, the whole place was so smokey that all the shots came out crap, but here’s the few that could be salvaged with photoshop.
