Amazing quality and details!
Many of you may have already know that I am one of Nikon ambassador in Singapore, so I get to test whatever gear I want.
Very interestingly this morning I went to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve to test out the Nikon V1. I mounted it on a 500mm f4 and shot a few shots, came back to look at the result. I was amazed and impressed by the quality and details of the pictures.
These are the images I shot this morning, it is uncrop and shot as it is and I made it available for you to download the high quality JEPG to take a look. So click on the pictures and check it out! Pretty amazing! I guess I could use this as my day-to-day point and shoot camera now!
Wow! Look at what is in my hand!
The latest Nikon D4!
I just want to update you guys with a few great new features on the new D4. I can already see how I could make use of these new functions and improvement with this new baby.
• 16.2-million pixels, I think this is more than enough and I am glad that it is not too big which we will have to handle the big file size. With my current D3s 12.5-million pixels I could already print as big as A0 size or more than 1 meter long.
• ISO 50 to ISO 204800, wow this is another great improvement with incredible range of sensitivities that will help with low light situation.
• The next-generation, high-speed XQD memory cards (see the card in my hand). It is a pretty small card, slightly bigger and thicker than the SD card.
• It has the function of life view that allow mirror up to shoot with total silent! I remember once I shot a sheep in the open, with my first shot trigger off, the sheep notice me right away and the whole group run away immediately. How I wish this function was there at that point of time.
• New EXPEED 3 image-processing engine with superior, high-speed processing capabilities. 11-24 Frame per second continuous shoot with 100 frames RAW and 200 frames JEPG buffer!
• Of course the great full HD video that comes with noise-reduction….and more other function.
• Wireless transmitter WT-5. Great stuff! You could read more online.

Chile Photo Expedition 28 Feb – 15 March 2012
Journey with Alex Soh – by invitation and to selected people only
Hey Guys,
Are your ready? Here is the Chile trip Itinerary. So far before I could finalized the trip, we have a few friends already count themselves in. The trip is not going to be cheap as the air fare from SIN-US (or Europe)-Chile and Chile-US (or Europe)-SIN is already cost about SG$ 3000+++, but I know it is going to be a great trip for you guys. You will be shooting like a Pro… for a moment you may think that you are no different to a NatGeo photographer 
Moreover I am there with you to guide you through. Your journey is going to be fun, exciting and full of life experiences. We will self drive into the country side, camping on the foot of the mountain Torres Del Paine, a boat ride journey to have a close encounter with the massive glaciers and majestic mountains of the Glacier Gray, Lake Pehoé scenic landscape, into the desert of North Chile and overlooking at the amazing Valley Of The Moon (See picture below), witness the Central Valley Grape Harvest Festival, capture the city of Santiago and have meal that cook by my friend’s mom in their chilean home. It is never better than to capture the real life living of the Chilean family and that’s what I love about … not even talking about all the wild animals in the mountains yet and many more! These are the special places where I shot before and I believe you are going to love it!

These are the special places where I shot before and I believe you are going to love it!I need to lock down all the booking and plans, so I will need everyone to confirm with me by 15 Jan 2012. First-come-first-served, I could only bring up to 8 persons on this trip.
This could be the only once in the life time trip to visit the beautiful Chile in the South America Spanish speaking country. I have personally enjoyed my previous trip so much that I just want to bring all my friends there to see it for themselves. I will not repeat this same journey again, because the world has so much more other places waiting for me to discover. It is my passion to share… a journey that I have committed to bring you.
