Both flowers below are the same species, the only different is the colour in the middle part. 

Lantana is our favorite flower.  We have collected 6 different colours lantana.  SiewPeng is going to tell you more about Lantana in the later post.  The following is a yellow Lantana.

The followings are different type of leaves, their colours, lines, and shapes allow me to cropped their picture into header picture’s size.

This is a type of plant that grow in the water.

These are fruits of “Hokkien Tea”.  Does it catch your eyes?  The fruits are nothing special except the contrast of colour of both fruits

So far there are only 16 pictures I used as header pictures, and I have shown all of them here and in the previous post. 

You can find the following header pictures in this blog.  They are my favorite pictures that I have taken myself.  I have cropped them to match the size for this blog’s header picture.  They will appear randomly as you visit different pages here.

First picture was taken in Toowoomba, Australia in 2002 when I was studying in USQ.  Everytime I see this picture, I will recall my bicycle i used to ride eveywhere, from the uni campus, to town, and to the beautiful parks.  One of my dreams is to visit Toowoomba again.

 I have cut a picture of a tree into 3 pieces, it was taken somewhere near tabletop, Toowoomba.  Did you notice that they are actually different parts of the picture?  I added one more item in my dreams list.  I will bring my dream camera to visit Toowoomba again with Siew Peng and take as many picture as I want.

Few months ago, in a hot Saturday afternoon, I have spilt some water on the floor from my drink because I ran too fast toward the TV when I was carrying a cup of water.  I noticed the sun light came from an angle into the living room, I suddenly told myself I should take this picture.

Taken in winter 2002, A Maple tree in Japanese Garden USQ, Toowoomba.  Another place that I have a lot of stories to tell.

Do you know what are the name for these flowers?  I have them in my home garden.  My dream is to make my garden to have more flowers, especially jasmines and roses.  I will plants more and more, until I can smell the jasmine flower everywhere in my house.

Actually you can find more other header pictures in this blog, but there are in batch 2, batch 3 …..  I will tell you more, and I will put a lot more within the server capability.  Meanwhile, you can visit more pages in this website to see more random header picture.  Tips: You can refresh any pages in this website to see different header pictures, it was tested working properly with IE & OP but not FF.

My Dream Camera is Canon PowerShot S6 IS.  It is not released yet, but I hope that it will be released in 2008.

Started from 2005, I had been keeping an eye on Canon PowerShot S2 IS until Canon released PowerShot S3 IS.  At that time, my dream camera was PowerShot S5 IS which I expected it would be released in 2008.  But who knows Canon skipped PowerShot S4 IS and launched PowerShot S5 IS in this year.  Therefore I still sticked on my dream that I want to have PowerShot S6 IS in 2008. 

Canon PowerShot S1/S2/S3 and S5 IS are high-power-zoom prosumer digital camera.  I wish to have the latest model in this series because of the experience that I have got from using Olympus C740 which is also a high-power-zoom prosumer digicam (10X).

Prosumer stands for Professional Consumer.  A prosumer camera allow me to have manual control of the camera which I need to practise my photography skill.  Please look at my previous post - Light in the Night for more special effect photos, and you will understand.  A compact camera doesn’t allow me to produce this kind of pictures.

I am currently using Olympus C740 and satisfied with it performance.  I have just finished discovering, studying and getting used to all the features, functions and buttons etc.  SiewPeng also told me that If I have got the Canon PowerShot now, the Olympus camera will be very sad. 

One of my friends told me that I should actually get a DSLR, but I think it is too bulky, and I have to change the lenses all the time.  Now it’s not the time for me to get a DSLR, I will practice my photography skill using a Prosumer + High-Power-Zoom DigiCam first, before I get a DSLR. 

A DSLR will be in my dream items list after I have improved my photography skill.
