Lens reflections

This is a good example of things that show up as spots in my shots, especially at night, in hotel banquets etc... Really pisses me off when I have a nicely composed and exposed photo, but with little UFOs floating around. Click to see the big picture.

Koko pod

Here's a pic of a cocoa pod that was dissected by my mom. She got it from Tawau. When you suck on the seeds it has the chocolatly aroma, but it's not sweet.

Here's a close-up of the seeds when cleaned and cracked open:

NightShots anyone?

These are two shots of the same scene from Kampung Nelayan (a seafood restaurant in Bukit Padang). The shot on the left is kind of dark, but when I set my camera to the maximum shutter length of 15 seconds, the results is the second shot. Better "star effects" on the lights but I only noticed the lens flare after downloading the images to my computer.
 
This is an indoor shot of a chandelier in one of the hotels. Occasion: one of my aunty's birthday celebration.

P.S. This is only a point-and-shoot camera that I'm using (Canon A70) so you shouldn't expect miracles heh heh...
