Mode-ify
By JASON LIOH alltherage@thestar.com.my MOST of you wielding DSLRs and semi-professional compact cameras will find a few icons and letters on your camera dials. While the icons are mostly self-explanatory, the letters – P, A or Av, S or Tv or M – will take some figuring out and are in fact the five shooting [...]
Best of both worlds
By Jason Lioh Pics by Jason Lioh/Robin Wong alltherage@thestar.com.my There are many types of cameras – compact cameras, digital single lens reflex (DSLR), film cameras and even rangefinder cameras. In recent years, the mirror-less camera has emerged in the market and is fast gaining popularity due to its size, weight, image quality, feature and price. [...]
All together now
By JASON LIOH alltherage@thestar.com.my It’s Chinese New Year, and gathering with family and friends is part of the celebrations… and of course taking photographs is a given.

To the streets
By Jason Lioh – On most weekends and whenever he is free, engineer Robin Wong likes to hit the streets with his camera. He calls it his “shutter therapy”, a way of destressing for him. But more than that, Robin has become more and more fascinated by the wealth of subjects in street photography.
