The Results

Yesterday, I just got back from genting after having a crazy bday celebration at Awana. Now i’m still getting excited when reviewing those photos I took that night. Really enjoy partying hehe :)

 

One of the interesting part for me on that night, was a photo session with my friend – Keiron, outside the hall. It was a very random attempt without any prior preparation at all. The venue, the lighting, the crops, were unprepared for a proper shooting. So, I told myself, with my shallow knowledge, inspiration and experience, I should be able to do it, and I can do it properly. So I settle down, calm myself down, observe the surrounding, and Let’s do it! The adrenaline is rushing in my body, making me so excited to do the shots, because with such photogenic model, I can’t miss the chance! Yeah man!

 

Inspiration gets in my head when I need them, all thanks to normal daily homework I did – browsing works from photographers all over the world. Without fail. I observed their shots, their techniques, their editing, their model pose, and I tried my best to apply the idea with the surrounding objects.

 

Another thing I learned was how to use strobing more properly and precisely, and estimating the light I need in such surroundings. Wireless TTL doesn’t really gave me the effect I wanted. So, without any hesitation, I get myself in some logical thinking, thought of the flash power, the flash distance from the object, the flash angle etc. and finally tried it out by using wireless manual flash, and with only few attempts, I get my shots done. It was really an intense session for me, to think, to react and to shoot.  Luckily I’ve got another friend, kian boon to hold the flash for me, helping me to adjust the flash from the object. truly appreciate it :)

 

And also, I’ve learned that at outdoor, especially at dark places, wireless TTL doesn’t work when the flash is behind the camera, so the limit of the flash distance is almost same level with the camera. Maybe that’s because the infrared can’t get to the flash when the flash is behind the camera. That’s what i think la. most probably my hypothesis is true hehe.

 

After the shots, I’m very glad with the results shown in the small 3 inch LCD screen of my camera, and can’t wait to go back home start editing and get the results done! I’m also very grateful that I did my homework on normal days, and some inspiration just popped out when I need them. In the editing part, I mainly used lightroom 3.2 to adjust exposures, clarity, vibrance, post-vignette, cropping and used picasa 3 to remove unwanted elements and blemishes in the photos. And after hours of works in front of my PC, finally I’m done! My tiredness finally is rewarded with satisfied results produced by my own hand. Felt proud of it.

 

I have the habit of taking my own sweet time editing, and review, walk away, or straight go to sleep. Then the next day, when I’m really fresh again, I’ll review the images, if they are still in my liking, then only I’ll post them up in facebook and flickr. Sometimes when I really have some favourite shot, I’ll post them up at photography forum too :) For those who didn’t pass my second review, too bad, they will undergo another round of editing ;) I’m very picky and try to be as perfect as possible.

 

That’s my style.

 

So, I’ve finished the talking and now let’s see the results. Here’s 2 of my favourite shots, first is the idea of showing his watch,personally i love this shot because of the lighting which I think is nice, and the expression and pose by Keiron. Second photo I’m trying to freeze his jumping action when crossing the fence, and the lighting result was quite satisfying on his limb and overall, just a little dislike on the harsh shadow casted on his nose. The background was not very nice, but what to do, that’s something I can’t really demand about. :/

Honestly, I’m still excited and happy when looking at those photos I produced. truly a nice shooting session. ;)

Here’s the rest of the photos in slideshow. I also uploaded the photos to flickr. If you want to have a look at some details after I put alot of effort in editing, removing blemishes, feel free to drop by my flickr photostream.

Hope to have more sessions like this and gain better improvements in the next shooting. See ya.

Raymond & Dacena

Well, I decided to compile all my favourite weddings shots in an album instead of individual albums with few shots in it.

Just added one favourite shot in my facebook album, would like to share it here too :)

Here’s one pic i would like to share first. Will upload more on Raymond & Dacena Weddings after my exam :)

[Updated: 21st Jan 2011]

Raymond and Dacena, who serve people in the medic line as doctors, finally found their true love at Sabah and conducted their wedding at Kluang on a lovely monday, 27th Dec 2010. Two words to describe their wedding, colourful and joyful. They can really dance especially during the wedding reception, which made the dinner transformed into a mini club with music blasting the hall. I enjoyed watching them dance, so carefree, so enjoy.

I did a slideshow to compile the wedding day shots, which does not include candid shots in there. I will post up some candid shots soon. Hope you enjoy the slideshow and some photos of that day.

Love their Expressions!

Stare at me? haha

Joy.

Best wishes!

Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010

KLIMS’10 was rather disappointing and uninteresting compare to previous years KLIMS. Cars and bikes available for show are too less, just a few pathetic one or 2 cars from some big brand, eg: honda, lexus, toyota. It’s more like Kuala Lumpur International Model Show than Motor Show. Show are rather dull compared to previous years with performance, dancing etc. Ticket pricing is also an issue as online booking cost RM23, buy on spot cost RM20. 3 ringgit extra charge is too significantly heavy for such event.

Furthermore, KLIMS’10 was trying to promote their event by using bamblebee and batman’s mobile. But to our dismay, batman mobile is rather awful because of its quality. It’s more like styrofoam project work from some art college rather than a vehicle itself. Such a disgrace to use batman’s mobile as their promoting tactic. Nevertheless, Proton and Perodua, as our national brand, did a good job in showing their concept cars which is rather good in design and quality build. Bravo!
