Solo Photog: Dairy Farm Nature Reserve

Another of my photo-therapy, a trip to Dairy Farm Nature Reserve. Its a bit of an uncharted territory for me, but its really easy to navigate around.

So some animal shots I took.

Back to the Southern Ridges Again.

I was feeling a little blue, so I decided on a photo therapy. Before I knew it, I was at Habourfront MRT Station, getting ready for a long march.

Anyway this will be my first post for 2009, apologies for the lack of updates. I will add captions to the images when I am a little more free. This is especially so for the butterflies, where I have to do some species identification.

Merry X'mas!

Merry Christmas to all!

How to set up NTU webmail on Outlook

Taken from www.collinyeo.blogspot.com

This post serves as a guide to all NTU students who want to use their NTU Mail on Microsoft Outlook.

Before anything, download VPN from here

http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/cits2/ras/for_cms_ref/vpn.exe

Once you have downloaded it, install this software, it allows you to tunnel into the NTU's network. Remember to log in using your user name : student\xxxxxxx and your password.

After that launch outlook express.

I will add screenshots later. So these instructions will suffice for now.

1) Launch MS Outlook

2) Add a new account

3) Select "Microsoft Exchange Server"


4) Enter "MAIL24.student.main.ntu.edu.sg" as the Exchange Server"

5) ALL NTU Student start with a "#" in front of the name. So if you were to email me, you would like "#LAU WEE KIANG JEREMY" without the quotes. So under "User Name", you would like "#" followed by your name and click "Check Name" in order to verify.


Thats it. You can use your NTU mail with your MS Outlook.

Additional: To access the Public Folder, click on the Folder Icon at the bottom of the left panel.

A new phototechnique from flikr

I've been tinkering with this idea for getting sort of a muted color effect that's sorta neat. It also looks pretty good on portraits. Here's what I did.
1. Go to the channels pallet and command/ctrl + click on the RGB layers in the channels pallet. Making a selection of the luminosity.

2. Add a new blank layer. Hit "d" on the keyboard to get DEFAULT COLORS.
3. Invert the selection command/contol + shift + i.
4. Fill the selection with black.... option/alt + delete/backspace put in multiply blending mode.
5. Invert the selection command/contol + shift + i.
6. Add an new blank layer and fill with white command/control + delete/backspace and put in screen blending mode.
7. Add a hue/saturation adjustment layer and put saturation at +25 (to the right using saturation slider).

If you like this effect you can easily make and action of this by adding a new action before you do these steps and then clicking to close action in the actions pallet after you're done.
