Da Grip

I've always used some parts of my anatomy (other than hands) to support my camera but to know someone like Joe McNally who does the same thing is awesome. Of course, I can now learn to refine my techniques to incorporate Joe's.

So, here it is...

New Inspiration Work In Progress

I have been wanting to find my own style / niche of photography and I think I may have gotten that glimpse of inspiration. Certainly, I will try them out whenever I have the chance which is aplenty.

What is it? You'll need to be patient as lots of work need to be put through and thereafter fine-tuning. There will be some DIYs too to modify some add-ons etc.

Think light....

A snapshot of it

Chris & Fred - 22 Nov 2008

Time passes so quickly. I was requested to cover their wedding event some time early this year (could be late last year). Having no such experience back then, I was hesitant, though honoured, since it's an important occasion. Chris mentioned that she's more comfortable with me than a stranger. After several months of being guided by a fellow photographer friend, I accepted the challenge (partly also of their persistence =P).

As mentioned in the earlier post for the wedding pics of my beloved friends, below are some of the shots taken. The weather was too cold and windy that led us to cancel the location shoots which had been planned for some time. However, we did brave the chilly weather to have some done before calling it quit.
We have agreed to do the location shoots in 2009.

Congrats again to my wonderful friends, Chris & Fred! And thank you for giving me the honour of documenting your wedding day.

Gloomy and Chilly

It's been a month since winter started. I never really like the chilly temperature and wind, esp those with single digit temperature. However, it has not been as cold as May and June last year. Having said that, I avoid heading out unless it's necessary just to prevent the incident from recurring. I had bronchial spasm in my first winter here in Melbourne.

Anyway, I again did a shoot with my friend last week and here are some of the pics taken.





On another note, Nikon has just announced another full frame (FX) DSLR and it's D700 of which it's with plenty of D3's features in a D300 body. Will I get it? I doubt so as I'm in need of 70-200 lens to complete my lens collection for event and wedding shoots. Perhaps, the existing 70-200 may get a minor update due to some complaints by the FX users. Time will tell.........

See from the Heart

I was invited by a friend to attend a short talk by a well-known photographer, Rocco Ancora. Uniqueness is everywhere and all that is required is to see from the heart. Having said that, one has to always strive to better oneself and never let pride get to the head!

There will always be more fabulous images out there and not let one good shot be all and end all.
