Some more photos to share... haha.. really late post.. Cos too many things waiting for me to complete... can't wait till we finish 1 cycle of senior high... then I don't have to rush so much notes that I could write a textbook... over 30 pages of QM and still counting...
First up the little princess series... my niece
With all her pose for the camera... she likes camera.. so I guess some girls are born for cameras... they will pose for a camera any time...
With everyone she knows
Huat ah... won so much, can't even close the drawer cos the chips are overflowing!
And a few adventurous year 6 came to pai nian again... next year.. next year got new house.. with plenty of space to entertain guests... can accommodate 25 students at a time... i believe... that last time i measure.. can run shuttle run in the living room with space to spare... don't have to play mahjong in kitchen again.. in fact.. new flats kitchen are so small it's impossible to do that anyway.
Yeah... should take less photos since I haven't got enough time to blog nowadays...
The animated series
The end of CNY celebration... next.. more backlog to clear... more photos to post.
Just one photo of why. 
Taken from the window of my new home to be.
So now I'm officially a man with loads of debt and plenty of faults to remedy for the new house. Let's just say that HDB gave me a set of wrong keys for my house and I need to get it exchange soon. Luckily the keys to the main door were the right set. But still, I'm not happy to cos I don't have access to water supply now.
I'm a sick but happy man.
For a non-APO lens stacked with three teleconverter (1.4x + 2.0x + 75-300 lens + 1.7x), any lens defect will be taking a toll on the final image. This is what I found when I look at the image closely and studied the individual channels of red, green and blue light.
Original shot resized, looks alright in this low resolution version but trust me you will see blue halo if you looked closely.
So what went wrong with the blue channel? It is clearly out of focus and made of fuzzy blur stuff.
Two words..
Chromatic Aberration
Physics time here...
Well, we learn from optics that light bends when it goes between 2 materials of different refractive index. It turns out that the refractive index is different for different wavelength. Hence if you focus the red light, the blue will be out of focus. Now what you seen here in the moon are shot with manual focus. So I got the red light nailed but I totally lost the blue light in the focusing. Hence we get a fuzzy mess ball here instead.
Now for our everyday digital camera, 1/4 of the pixels are sensitive to blue, 1/4 to red and 1/2 to green (like our eyes are more sensitive to green than blue and red). The way this sensors are arranged to capture our image is in the form of a bayer pattern. So there is 3mp of red information, 3mp of blue information and 6mp of green stuff inside my camera.
So effectively, my 12 mp camera took only 9 mp of useful information. So after discarding the blue part away.. here's what I end up with (again with generous amount of sharpening applied)
Almost the same image but less the halo effect with a slightly sharper outlook as we don't have the blue part messing up the moon
