Sydney-Singapore-UK 2010

I writing this from the desk in our room at the New Majestic Hotel in Singapore.

EOS 1Ds II, EF 35mm f/1.4L, f/5.6, 1/200s

The flight over here was uneventful. I spent most of the time listening to some Audiobooks - Stephen Fry's reading of JK Rowling's Harry Potter Series, and Stephen Hawking's "The Universe in a Nutsehll". Clearly I didn't finish all of these - it was a relatively short flight. I must recommend the extra legroom we got from getting exit-row seats. My knees didn't hurt as I walked off the plane!

 Strobist Info:

1/8sec, f/8.0, ISO 100, 17mm

Anyway - back to the New Majestic Hotel . . . .

Amy found this place online when we were looking for places to stay. I'm glad she stumbled upon it. We received an exceptionally warm welcome from the service staff here upon arrival last night. Our room is simply amazing. I think the outside bath simply says it all. 

I"m glad I brought my flash gear, and not the 85 f/1.2L II (as you can see above). I'm beginning to explore more Strobist-style lighting, so I see this trip as an opportunity to practice what I've learnt.

Tomorrow is going to be fun! I've never been to Singapore before, so Amy has a whole heap of places to take me. I'll keep you posted!

Things to come:

• What's in my travel bag
• Which travel bag I"m using
• Lee Filters

I'm going to be busy writing these posts!
