About life of a Computer Science PhD Student
Hi everyone, this is the fourth update on this blog this year!
Since the last update, there has been some progress in PhD. I am done with actual coding, and I am now working on the final sets of experiments. I guess I am at the home straight. There are a lot of data processing, visualisation, and thesis writing to do, but I’m happy that I am making progress.

It’s been a while since I last did prints (and I didn’t even write about the process of prepping prints). To be quite honest, I was little away from photography.
In the year 2020, in the midst of a panic in both PhD and life in general, I picked up my camera again. (Well, didn’t completely put them down… but you get what I mean…) And during the conversation with my secondary supervisor during a physically-distanced-walk (when that was allowed), I remembered that I have not done any prints for a while.

Happy new year everyone! Hope the year 2021 will be a much better year.
So far, the first week of 2021 has been fine. In fact, it has been quite nice.
I managed to see the first sunrise of the year 2021!

This alone was enough to put me off from attempting one. But a friend of mine had dragged me out to do one after checking the weather.
Turns out, the field around observatory is a great place to do this. (duh) This was my first time doing star shoot around that area so I was little unsure, but it turned out to be a great location. The only gripe about the location is that because it is right next to the sports centre, we had to wait till they close to turn off the over-head lighting for the outdoor track. Hence, it had to be rather late.

This is a photo I’ve taken back in 2005. This is the year I started playing with a DSLR. (Before that, I did play with a point and shoot and some times with a film SLR) And I’ve been taking photos with some degree of passion up till now.
10 years ago from today, I’ve started a flickr account, and started uploading my photos. Photos I thought I shot well, made in to it and today, I have 389 photos.
Yes you are right, snow in St Andrews is not common. Or UK low lands in general. To the extent that it deserves a blog post.
Turns out this is the first blog post in 2018. Been far too busy in Japan and even when I got back here, I still have far too many things to do.
Here’s a little post with photos of Snow in St Andrews.
This is my new blog segment called ‘Shot Story’, where I plan to talk about the photos I have shot. Feel free to give suggestions in the comment section below with a link to a photo on my flickr! Equally, if you have any question/topic you want me to discuss, feel free to comment below!
I’ve always wanted to talk about photography. Its been on my ‘blog-topic-list’ for far too long. So I shall start with one of the most memorable shots in St Andrews. This definitely is a milestones in my photography experience: I caught the northern lights.
