read more.. shoot more.. try harder, knock harder

I had a good chat with a good friend of mine on photography. I describe him as an underground pro-photographer. This is because he has all this marvelous photos but never publish it, never sells it. i dare to put his photos alongside with any renown photographer in the country and he is like an wikipedia on photogrphy. By the way he shoots with a D3and using all FX prime lens. and he knows how to use it. (pun intended) well some ppl don't .. =)
Practice harder, test & shoot.. that's what he said.

So last week end i try some sunset shoot & night shoot. and i got my own head shoot, by myself! and i can say, being alone at the end of the Taman selera at 7pm in the evening is such a challenging act. half way my creative thought remind myself the famous folk tales on the jap's grave make me wrap up the whole thing in a flash even though my self photo's is a bit off focus! haha.. imagine to wrap up my tripod, speed light & camera all while walking away..



This photo did appears in my kampong Irau Easter Mag. haha.. tribute to my wife undying support!

It was a bit off focus and less depth. I should use at least f/11
Anyway for the fun of it, i just post this less perfect photo. I just can't compose myself for another shoot as some pebbles was falling of the cliff and all sorts of thing way going through my mind.. hehe..



This photo was taken earlier and gave some radical post process onto it. I might hang this on my wall.
