Dear friends, recently I conducted a day trip exploring the potential of macrophotography at Pulau Ubin. As the SG Rediscover Voucher was expiring on the last day of Dec 2021, a glance at Klook activities quickly confirmed this was the event I wanted. The tour package includes guided service, ferry fare (2 ways) and a return taxi ride to Chek Jawa.

Dear friends, many of you should have heard of blue or golden hour photography. I like to touch on the blue hour, which arrives shortly after sunset when the sun's position is just below the horizon and produces those cooler tones.

In this article, like to share some pictures shot during the blue hour at Marina Bay....

But with the sun’s 11-year solar cycle coming to an end, these natural wonders are fading and may not be seen as often for another decade. Fortunately for us in Asia, the Southern Hemisphere has its own light show – the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights.
The Southern Lights is deemed a...

Welcome to my article on "Dolphins Watching in Lovina, North Bali". For nature lovers keen on watching wild dolphins in their natural habitat in South East Asia, Lovina at north Bali should on be their must-do list.

One thing that strikes you first is the black volcanic ash sand at Lovina Beach. From a distance, the calm water...
