Work-in-Progress – Part 14

Posted on    by

Our April-month visit to the construction site of our new upcoming home at The Minton condo, and also an opportunity to bring out the recently acquired Olympus 75-300mm II for a spin. This is a pretty low-price consumer lens that I got for cheap here, and I didn’t expect miracles from the comparatively slow aperture speeds the lens operates with. On the m4/3 camera system, the lens’ focal length is the equivalent of 600mm on a full-frame, and yep the longest I’ve ever shot at.

Thankfully, lighting was all good on a bright and humid Saturday mid-morning, so the pictures were all shot at a pretty quick 1/1000s shutter speeds. The wide-angle shots were all taken again on the LX7.:)

On every occasion we've shot from the stretch of pavement that's between the site and HDB blocks, Hannah enjoys running up and down the stretch.

Another view of the contemporary bridge. Ling was wondering if the bridge was going to be covered, but I doubt so.

Our block. Can't really see visible changes since our last visit.

The front of the apartment site. The HDR picture coming out of the LX7 didn't work so well this time, and colors look quite odd.

  1. It’s all coming together! Has the target date for the move-in remained the same?

    You’re going to need the extra room just to have a place in which you can put the lenses you’ve acquired. :)

  2. Haha – nothing quite so extravagant yet, bud.:) I’ve been selling away my unused lenses, so what I’ve got at any single point in time is more/less the same as before.=)
