The Nokia 6300 is a can of worms!

What's the point of using a camera phone when you can't take landscape shots by default?

Just realised this on my Nokia 6300. If I had known earlier, I would have opted for something else. Bummer.

Excerpt from MobileBurn:

As there is not a dedicated camera key, users will have to use the 6300's 2MP camera in a portrait orientation. This makes it slightly less comfortable to use, unlike other handsets where users can hold the device in a landscape orientation just like how they would use a normal camera.

Pavilion teasers

Random photos taken yesterday. This new shopping mall is stunning -- over 450 retail outlets, lots of walking, and a huge centre court!

Can you spot it?

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

May the year of the Fire Boar usher in happiness and prosperity for everyone.

I just spent some time clearing up my digital photos, and came across these random shots taken in Penang back in 2004. "Journeys to the Underworld" sounds like an exciting piece of literature!

Incredible souvenir photos

Michael Hughes has created an amazing series of his travel photos on Flickr. He holds up souvenirs and postcards precisely over the real-life scene and photographs it with the right perspective. The result -- something really clever that looks surreal almost all the time.

Tsu Lin's masterpiece!

Captured over lunch at DELIcious, a cozy little restaurant over at Bangsar Village. Thanks of course to Chin Geh and me for spotting it first ;) The photo above was snapped with her Sony Ericsson mobile phone, and depicts a silhouette of the door signage against a solid wall on a sunny day. Thanks, Tsu Lin!

Find out how Tsu Lin spent the rest of her Friday -- yes, she's got a blog too! sunbabies.blogspot.com
