Hey! I bet you will bring your kids or love ones to the zoo one day! My Joy loves to go to zoo. She gets very excited when she sees the animals. I really recommend that you bring them there. This is a FREE template for you to download. Please check the
terms & conditions before using. After downloading, you need to unzipped the file. You may open the file in any photo editing software. All you need to do is to place 3 favorite photos behind my design. I have also left the right side of the template empty, so that you could place your own caption & stories. I am now exploring a very popular free open source graphic editing program, called
GIMP, in order for you to do fairly simple copying & pasting using my template. So stay tune!

I love this series of bubble photos, so I decided to start on this. This template is free but do check my terms of use before downloading. To use this template, I have prepared the download such that you only need to copy & paste your favorite photos in Photoshop to insert your photos in. Isn’t it SIMPLE? Check out the tutorial for Photoshop users. I have also tried to prepared a transparent layer for non-Photoshop users. Please let me know if you have any problems with it.

Who says digital scrapbook has to be square? The traditional digital scrapbook design is usually prepared in 12 inch x 12 inch. Most of the galleries that was posted on the internet are also in a square format.
I have been thinking about it for some time. I want my digital scrapbook to be different! A 12 inch x12 inch scrapbook requires a A3 size printer for printing. This would be a big investment you don’t really need to other than printing for your scrapbook. If you already have a A4 printer, it also makes no sense to invest in another one which will take up lots of room space. But a A4 printer, can only print a max 8 inch x 8 inch design. This size is relatively small. So I decided to maximize my A4 printer & bought 2 A4 ring photo albums. These albums was purchased from Prints-international . If you are Singaporean, you may find this shop at CityLink. This is a 20 x2 = 40 page album. I choose black for the inside as I want my print out to stand out against the background. Each album cost me roughly S$30+ during a sale which I thought was really a good buy.
So stay tune for more upcoming FREE templates!!

Have you been to the Winter Sonata Shooting Scene in Korea? The shooting scene is located at Nami Island which we need to take a short ferry to reach there. In my last Korea trip, I was very hopeful & excited before going to the island. But when we reached there, it was already 5pm in the evening. Night falls at about 5.30pm during the winter season in Korea. So we had only 30mins to explore the island before night falls. It took us 20mins to reached the famous 2 rows of trees where the exact shooting scenes were located. So we had only 10mins to take photos! It was really a rush! Luckily, we had a great travel mates who loves to take photos like us. So we helped each other to take pictures. All the photos turn out really bad 
due to the lighting condition. To make matter worse, there were many passer-by which we couldnt get rid off when we were taking the photos.
When I came back to hotel that day, I was really disappointed looking at the photos taken. So I was determine to use photoshop to help me beautify the photos.

If you have followed my previous retouching tip, you can reuse the photo to design a wallpaper. You do need any professional skill to achieve it. Just need to download my Wall Paper Package. All you need to do is to drag & drop your favourite photos/text into the design. You could achieve the same effect as mine.

A good digital SLR camera would usually cost you 1k & above. Fret no more if you do not own a fantastic digital camera. You can create the same depth of field by applying some simple trick to your digital photos using Adobe Photoshop. Here is how it goes:
