Photography, life and everything in between

I’m insulted!!

Just because it’s film doesn’t mean it sucks. It’s good if you want to learn true photography, it removes one of the worse thing that has come about with the advent rise of digital cameras, “Chimping”


Cross tower

“Cross tower”

Here is another work…

“Painted sky”

Yes, this is a photograph…..

More pano shots.

Again another experiment with panoramic shot. Even though I have a 17mm which is pretty wide on a full frame camera, but there are benefits to using panoramic shots instead as there is no lens distortions evident.


Click on the image for an even larger size. These was taken using 50mm, I find that a pano shot using anymore more then 35mm yields the best so far. I tried to use 17mm so I wouldn’t have to take so many shots but it seems there are slight distortion evident on the final pic. But using anything more then 35mm is great!


My latest attempt. This one was done using a tripod rather then my previous attempt which were done using the camera hand held. The benefit of using the camera on a tripod instead is that you can close down the shutter to f8 or f11 and at shot at a longer shutter without causing blur or without using high ISO.

Model shoot, Theme: sports

Well this is overdue, I took this at a previous model shoot with the Photokaki group about a month ago and only now found the time to post them up. A lazy bugger that I am.


Here are our 3 fine models. You may recognize them.

Sunset…..with a twist.

Just something I’ve always wanted to try, panoramic shot of a sunset. Inspired by a recent article on how to do panoramic shots using lightroom and CS3.

Enjoy!

Till then, pleasant dreams!


Who do you think will be better at life?

You be the judge. I always find such question incredibly stupid and annoying. 

Answer (for the Math Purist): 139 apples (rounded up, correct me if I’m wrong)
Answer (For the social realist): I smell a trap here…….


PC fair KL December 2008

Once again PC fair came around to KL and just in time for Christmas.


It seem this time around 1 terabyte hard disk was the hottest selling product with it finally reaching the RM500 price tag.

D3x, my opinions on it.

Please watch this youtube video first, for those who are Nikon or DSLR experts, you’ll understand the joke in here but for those who aren’t, it’s okay. No worries here. I’ll explain in the following paragraphs

It came without warning……

As it quickly engulf the city in its radiant light, the first thought that rushes in everyone’s mind is, “Is this it? The end finally?”

“It came without warning”

Elaine at Central market

Here we have Elaine (boy you must be thinking, “you sure had one hell of a busy day didn’t you?”. Yes I did and the rain didn’t make it any easier that day).


I wish I had been able to spend more time with Elaine, I had so many ideas but tragically, the location prohibited such ideas! (Damn!) Also the rain it difficult to shooting anything.


Natalie at Central market

Here is another model I worked with that day, Natalie. Also a great model to work with, from what I gather she knew exactly what was her good angles.


Listen up aspiring models! You do yourself a big favor if you know what is your best angle and don’t just guess what is your best angle like a lot of people I know of, check them out yourself in front of a large full body length mirror!


Carace at Central market

Well this is a bit overdue. Actually it WAAAY overdue just like my other photos but recently I have been busy with work and hardly have any time for life.

Anyway, here are the recent photos I took on the model shoot with Carace at Central market which was organized by Rog (thanks!)


The Pariah

Forgot about this pic the last time.


And so another day ends….

With each step I take up the stairs to my place,
I contemplate how easily it is for me to be replaced,
believing myself to be none unique,
until I accidentally set my sight on something mystique,

There stood before me a grand site to behold,
Another master piece just like before,
For once again his masterful hand had crafted a sky like no other.
The colors mixing so beautiful like a grand symphony.
