Reflection

Reflection

I never know what is the use of manual focus until recently. I always thought that since auto focus is so quick and easy, and wonder why people still have to waste time doing it manually.

I discovered the greatness of manual focus when I attended a business event. I saw the reflection of the candelier on the dinner table. It looked interesting so I wanted to capture the image. Very soon I realised that it cannot be done with auto focus, so I have to switch to manual focus. The result is amazing, the image is better than what I saw throught my eyes. I am so happy that I have found a new way to take photos :D

A Small Bump in Yoga

My usual yoga practice schedule was affect by the personnel changes at the yoga center. My favorite instructor, Yograj, was transferred Centrium, and the Hatha 2 classes at Langham Place was replaced by other instructor.

The classes started to suck. Even thought it's Hatha 2 lesson, it feels like going back to Hatha 1. The postures taught were simple, no challenge. Most of the old students have disappeared, replaced a bunch of newbies, who can't even do the posts. And some of them even complained about the lesson being too difficult on the internet forum. Why don't they just stick with Hatha 1?! I think the poor instructor is really at the losing end, with experienced students complain too easy and beginners complain too difficult.

I was unhappy that even if I carry on, I won't be able to advance in my practice. After considering for 2 weeks, I finally decided to upgrade my membership to "All Centers" so that I can stick on with Yograj's classes. I re-joined Yograj's classes at the Centrium last evening for a session of YIN. The lesson was great and I learnt a few new postures, so I'm back on track again! *muahmuahmuah*
