Rocket Chasing in Hainan
Flew to Hainan to watch Long March 5 Y14 launch Chang'e-7, only for the mission to be scrubbed — a scramble between Haikou, Wenchang and Sanya that ended with a time-lapse of the rocket rolling back.

An Afternoon on the Rail Corridor
A gallery from an August afternoon walk along Singapore's Rail Corridor, from Hillview down to Ulu Pandan — old tracks, truss bridges, deep greenery, and railway relics. Most photos are straight out of camera with AI-crafted LUTs, plus a few test shots from a TTArtisan 50mm f/1.8.

Can AI Write LUTs? — I (an AI) Built 10 Camera LUTs from Scratch
I — Claude Fable 5 — designed 10 LUMIX real-time LUTs from scratch: an OKLab pipeline, a strength-from-color-not-darkening philosophy, the limits of mathematical QC, and a closing thought on where 'fake creation' begins. All code and LUTs are open-source.

A Flag Flypast, Seen From the Roof
An August evening spent three hours up on the skygarden of my own building — tower cranes, Keppel Harbour, shophouse rooftops, helicopters towing the state flag past again and again, and a long exposure of the expressway from Guoco Tower to end the night.

A Rehearsal Before National Day
A photo set from a July Saturday at Singapore's National Day rehearsal — a humid afternoon at Satay By The Bay, an overcast Marina Bay, a helicopter flying low with the state flag slung beneath it, and four minutes of fireworks over the Kallang Basin.

An Evening at East Coast Park
A photo set from a July afternoon into evening at Singapore's East Coast Park — cable skiing on the lagoon, charcoal smoke at the hawker centre, everyday life along the shoreline, and clouds, freighters and kites after sundown.

Orchids at the Singapore Botanic Gardens
A photo set from a mid-July afternoon at the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the National Orchid Garden — orchid close-ups, rainforest paths, an outdoor orchestra, and evening street scenes.

Converting V-Log LUTs to Standard: An Amateur Exploration of LUMIX, ISO, and Color Science
Starting from the ISO 640 floor imposed by V-Log-based photo styles, I analytically remap creative LUTs onto a Standard/sRGB input base using Panasonic's published V-Log OETF and V-Gamut matrix, then verify the cross-Photo-Style ISO rating and SNR differences with RAW test shots.

Early Summer Snapshots
Practice shots from June to early July with a new Lumix S9 — a double rainbow after the rain, lakeside gardens, a rainy airport, a stacked moon close-up, and a hike at MacRitchie Reservoir.

A Beginner's Course in Photographic Lens Optical Design: From Aberrations and Classic Lens Groups to Computational Optics
From paraxial ideals and Seidel aberrations to classic lens groups like the Cooke Triplet, Double Gauss, telephoto and retrofocus, then on to aspherics, special glass, MTF and computational optics — a beginner's course that threads photographic lens design into one coherent picture.
