It's December!

It is December! The final month of 2009! It is just like i'm still having hard time to scratch 2009 on my parking coupon (yup i got a few 15 ringgit saman due to that!) yet in a month time come 2010. Wow! A decade had passed in the 21st century. apuuu.. A decade!
Christmas is coming soon though. And December is a busy month for weddings. I'm booked for three wedding this month and still some are on going nego. On top of that, some christmas family photos & outdoor shoot are being line up! So sit tight, and while we are doing our year end shooping spree, do drop by.. I'm excited!
Below is a sneak peek of a wedding that i just covered last week end. An amazing couple and what a beautiful wedding! Til then, have fun! Time to crash in. Good nite!

Asia @ 8th month old

While waiting for mama finish her jog, i had a one on one session with asia. she is quite responsive when ask her to pose.. to my clown face maybe..

daphne photoshoot

I was extremely honour when I was invited to join a group of enthusiastic photographers for a photoshot outing with a model in the making. It is always an opurtinity to learn sumthing and at the same time to enchance the photoskill & refresh yourself and a new sets of photos. And i won't do any justice if i don't mention that our model of the day was a very pretty & talented young lady. She's an undergrad from Curtin and also the treasurer of the student commitee.. =) happy viewing..

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.

walk in the park

It is a low peak season for weddings this month and last month.. After February, after CNY, that's how it is. Does it got sumthing to do with the global economic? maybe.. and it also does sumthing to do with the school holidays. A friend of mine told me it's the new year. Come new year, the couple normally evaluate their relationship, where are they heading to. they will be thinking of their age, and ask each other and even challange each other to get married. So that will kick start the whole process.. the meet the parents, do the budget planning, start to scout for bridal house, start listing the wedding commitee, emcee, band, bridemaid, flower girl, bestman(normally last cos guys potrays coolness when do things last minute)etc. during this time, the internet is like is like a big bro/sis and you started to bookmarked or your favorite box list is filled up!
yeah, been there done that.. the whole none yard!after all, normally our community does not use any wedding planner service..

So, since this month is a bit free, and i don't want to start slacking, i started a small project. I started to fill up my stock photo. Online stock photos are where you can publish your photos and someone around the world might buy it. Some site in the net is free sign up. Below are some photos i got last weekend while waiting for Asia's mama make porridge (AirAsia label it Congee, to sound more mysterious maybe..)btw, my next wedding assignment is next mth, 2 weddings in a row for three days. So stay tune for more object, flora & landscape view ..






I was trying my best to get a sharp macro look using my kit lens. And using manual focus to ensure the photos not soft looking. but i still have to shoot all wide open to ensure a short depth of field to isolate the focus from the surrounding.
