Retiree with an passion for photography.
My Equipment;
Current: Canon 550D with EFS 18-135mm IS lens.
Pre-15.Aug.2010: Fujifilm S100fs
I love post-production.
I like to be creative.
I learn everyday about photography when I'm part of Flickr group. I now realized that there are so many much better photographers than me in Flickr. Wow!

But... I WILL STRIVE TO BE A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER!

Notes : Generally, I'm a very friendly person, but... I do not like to give comments to blank walls, unless it is super good, get what I mean? I like to make friends in flickr, not enemies. I'm honest in saying that over the past few months, I've shrunk my contacts to a more manageable level. If you comment and favourite my current picture, I will more than likely reciprocate unless your picture is really not good. I hate to lie!

    "Tlchua was one of the first person I met on Flickr, even though only meeting me he immediately gave me the advice and tips, what I was doing wrong. My photos have come on brilliant with the support and guidance fo Tlchua.
    His own photostram is amazing, diverse, happy to take tips and advice, although not needed. The photos that he has are simply stunning and you learn a lot.
    I have learned loads in the past 6 months and could not have done it wthout him.

    So a huge thank you and keep up your good work, look forward to seeing more front pages."

    "I know TL for about 3 month now. Within this short time a friendship has developed where I got to know him as a person with a great sense of humor as well as a person you can discuss seriously a picture or ways of post processing where he has great software knowledge.
    Particularly if it comes to HDR he has the ability to turn flat shots into a colorful masterpiece, night shots into a sea of lights and a flower into a reborn beauty.
    This ability can be seen in his wonderful photo stream.
    I hope he'll be around on Flickr for a long time, I would miss him as a good friend and his unique comments on my uploads... LOL
    Dear TL, keep shooting, post processing and commenting as well"

    "I have met TL some days ago in one of our common groups. One of his exceptional architectural pics caught my eyes.
    As it has been already said by others, his stream shows a great variety of one after the other wonderful pics. My favourites however are the architectural and landscape ones. They reveal his love and passion for his country. His night-shots are pure magic!!
    He is doing a fantastic job in processing - and - what I really appreciate - makes no secret out of his work. He is always frankly explaining and showing what he did to achieve the posted outcome.

    During the few past days of our acquaintance I found him being a very polite, warm-hearted person. He is always answering every question I do have very detailed - thanks for that TL, this cannot be taken for granted - he is commenting my pics in a humorous way and he gives tipps how to improve or achieve a better result.

    As a summary I want to say that I am very glad to have met such a friend through Flickr....take care TL, a big hug from Germany ....and as we say here : Keep it real"

    "TL Chua is one of the best friends that I ever have through FLICKR, he is always there for me. He is one of many friends that will concern how you are, how have you been and such things.

    I admire his works and his dedication to details. He is more to perfectionist. He is very creative and very passion about his photography. He impresses me with his spirit and enthusiasm and he is also keen to learn to progress his excellent ability to make a greater photograph.

    Not only his talent but his humors amazes me and he always makes me happy with his comments and his mails.
    I am so proud to call him a "great friend".

    Thank you for being my dearest friend TL~! hugs~!"

    "TL's photostream is most varied and his strengths (in my opinion, anyway!) are his florals and night shots. He also shows no fear in experimenting with different techniques and ideas; so there are always some new surprises. In a little over 3 months he has progressed at a rapid pace and is now a consistent 'member' of Explore!

    Most of all, on a personal level, TL is a great Flickr contact & friend who meaningfully comments on his contacts photos, is open to advice (and criticism) and continually shares his ideas and most of all his unique sense for humor!!!"
