My little Casio digital camera has a small built in voice recorder. I used it to record the bird sounds one can hear from our back yard. One tends to take these things for granted. The birds and their calls are interesting. It changes during the course of the day. Can you recognise the bird calls?

Morning bird sounds ~ 6:16AM

Midday bird sounds ~ 12:24PM

Evening bird sounds ~ 7:09PM

I have also photographed birds in our garden. Gallery One. Gallery Two.

The little Casio camera is quite handy. I always use it in my digital photography workshops with teachers in order to demonstrate how a standard digital camera can be quite handy and powerful. It is also a fully mobile podcasting studio. In addition to taking digital photographs it records video and audio. That is all one needs when out in the field.

Added five new galleries last night. The new galleries feature photographs taken at the NavCon2K7 Conference, Central Coast ~ NSW, places around Singapore, gatherings in Singapore and the Web 2.0 workshops at Nanyang Technological University.

The rush hour at the end of the day is approaching. This moment was captured outside Tanjong Pagar MRT. It is located within Singapore’s CBD. I often used this station when I worked with Knowledge Village. The office was in South Bridge Road, Chinatown. The camera is perched on a park bench. I am perched alongside with some other people.

Singapore has an excellent rail network. A new train comes along every few minutes during peak hours and are still frequent at other times. Some of the stations are busier than others. I wonder what the stats are for all the stations. Anyway, one of the busier stations is Bugis. I set the camera up on a bench and let it run and this is the result as the patrons came and went.

I walked with the crowds in Bugis Village, Singapore. I held my digital still camera above my head. It created an AVI at 640 x 480 pixels and 25fps. It suffered a little from the shakes. I compressed the video down to a 320 x 240 pixels at 15fps. Gives you an idea of the tourists and locals that flock through this part of Singapore.
