She loves to stick her head out of the cage like this, =p
Shoot at 18mm, the barrel distortion (ie. distortion occurs at wide angle) is enhanced (err, not really…) in Photoshop so that it looks more one which is taken by a fish-eye lens. =p
Too much editing tho, seems like the vignetting (darkening of the edges), barrel distortion and heavy contrast I applied in Photoshop is hurting the overall composition. =(
And I think mom named her Comel, doink! xD
lol…)
This is my Canada cousin’s daughter, Carrie. She’s so naughty and cute! She is really, really very smart (for her age, which is around 2 years old, I think), and very definitely brought lots of fun to us all. =p 
Once again, I am overwhelmed by ChiHo’s 50mm f/1.8, and is really tempted to get myself one although it won’t AF (auto focus) on my D40. I really, really love this small and cheap glass (it’s about B$150) which delivers superb optical quality despite the fact that my MF (manual focusing) technique is still fairly amateur. The only drawback is that I can let others handle the lens because you need to practice before you can MF accurately, so yea, no photo of me to be taken with it, LoL.
Anyway, let’s get back to the gathering. Well, I reached there at around 11am, thinking that lots of people must had already been there, but no, I was the second to arrive, poor YiHuey were alone (excluding the owner, Derick) there for almost an hour, until I came, lol. I wouldn’t go into the details of what we did that day, overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable gathering, thanks Derick. =)
