PLAY! Exploration with Canon Using A You-Know-What-Lah!

How often do we get to play the whole morning, at different locations?  Hardly.

With a Canon camera in hand, we did just that one Saturday morning.  Just E and I.

Recognise this place?  One of the "vintage" playground.  The Dove playground at Dakota Cresecent.  With sand.  The weather, I guess was not so forgiving because it was pretty hot.  But I guess, that is better than rain!  So here are my photos, all taken using a not-very-expensive Canon camera.  You be the judge, I guess.

Of angles and lines.   And a boy.

Took this in the bus, I think, while on the way to our second exploration. 

Here we are, at Everton Road.  For what?!

For the murals, of course!  There is this thing about murals that attracts people.  Don't you think so?

"Hello Aunty, are you done washing?"  

And then there is this thing about playgrounds.

For S$499, the Canon PowerShot SX540 HS is pretty much a decent camera, if not above average considering that it not only has the 50x optical zoom, but can also be further extended to 100x using Canon's unique ZoomPlus technology.

I particularly like these few photos of us at Tiong Bahru.

Answer the phone!!!

Hello Aunty, are you done?  Very hot you know?

The smell of hawker food.  Street food, I mean.

And if you wonder how the SX540 score in terms of food photography.  Here you go.  

Lunching at Poteato Bistro Cafe.  Food photography is a common problem at most eateries - the lighting (too dim, too orange and ... )  

Though shot at ISO1600, it did not do any injustice to the food.

All photos above are shot using the Canon PowerShot SX540 HS with zero photo edit.

The camera that comes with built-in WiFi (we all need this, these days) and packs a punch with its 100x ZoomPlus and 20.3MP sensor.

Of course, I had to play with the new Canon Selphy CP1200.  I currently own the CP910 and will happily trade that for this!  With 54 prints on a single battery charge, this is 1.5 times as many as mine!  Definitely a great portable printer for events and gatherings.

Disclosure:  We were invited to the event by Canon.  No monetary compensation was received.  All photographs and opinions are true to my own.
