Post-Processing

I have recently stumbled on some Flickr photos that looks amazing (at least to me).  They look even more amazing when I saw the original straight-out-of-camera (sooc) shots.  Some of the SOOC, if I took them, I would delete them upon reviewing on my DSLR ‘cos they do look like exposed wrongly.  But these photographers had the visions to know what the end product would be like after post-processing.  Seeing that, I was determined to at least give it a shot.

I took a couple of my photos and worked on them, trying out new ways of processing and see if anything would come out of it.  I quite like the end results, and I am sharing the before and after images.

 

Singapory: An Adventure into the Singapore Story

We have just completed production of Singapory.  Singapory is an interactive boardgame based on the history of Singapore.  It brings the players through 5 different time zones.

Singapory is an interactive CD-rom.  Players get to play together in groups of up to 5.  Their score and ranking will be recorded and a certificate will be awarded to them based on how well they fare.

Zone 1: The Beginning, primarily talks about the founding of Singapore by Sir Stamford Raffles.  You would also be able to spot Sang Nila Utama in the picture as it was an integral part of our history.

Zone 2: Building of New Nation is about the hardships and toils of the early immigrants.

Zone 3: A Nation at War revolves around 1 of the darkest period of our history, the Japanese Occupation.  And expect to land on lots of Penalty tiles as it was indeed a tough period.

Zone 4: The Rise of a Nation sees the period when Singapore was separated from Malaysia and the forming of our government.  Needless to say, MM Lee was portrayed here.

Zone 5: The Future is all about the exciting times where Singapore is transformed into a metropolitan city with the numerous iconic developments.

Some additional screen shots of the game.
