So here are the pictures,  this isn’t my usual routine of touching so much but from this set I’ve actually learned alot and have also been working on a new work flow. I hope you enjoy looking through the pictures as much as I enjoy processing them. I have to say digital photography is really really fun once you get the hang of it.

my attempt to do some flare shots

and lastly, here’s something just for fun

Here’s a shot I did some time back in June, took me a while to edit it as I was too busy with some other errands. I’ll be releasing the pictures soon but I would love to get some feedback on this slide show. Hopefully it works this time as the previous time Youtube didn’t really gave me proper quality pictures and also they mute my slides as the song was infringing copyrights.

It’s been a long time since I’ve last posted anything or took portraits, this is some back dated shots which I did and hopefully the slide show will be done soon enough.

Here’s a sneak preview

Over the weekend I attended ShootFest which was an unconference meetup with photography enthusiast. Basically there were talks and discussion and educational stuff on photography related issues (in this case the talks were more on weddings). If you want more information on ShootFest just visit their site at http://shootfest.org/.

To be honest this has been the most educational and fun weekend I’ve had with other photographers. I would say I’ve learn alot and also hopefully managed to share some of my knowledge with other people.  The environment was very er…how to say, hmm educational?and at the same time motivational? People were participating and asking and asnwering questions which you don’t normally get when there’s a talk/seminar like thing happening. So this kept the spirit up I guess.

Besides that I think the best part is that people were willing to share their thoughts, techniques, methods and workflow of their work. It’s definately very interesting to see how professionals do their work and it does help to improve yours or atleast it has helped me identified my flaw in my workflow.

Some of the professional speakers were Grace Tan, Jenny Sun, Jon Low, Fiona Lim, Zach Chin and many more, you can check out the schedule here

so here’s some of the pictures :

Day 1

Day 2

And these are some picture’s from the crazy booth, now I’m thinking I should have done one as well..haha

lastly my fav shot of all

For more detailed write up Mark Leo has some pretty good coverage on it for Day 1 and Day 2. Feel free to drop by his blog.

I took part in the Karaoke Power Point which is basically a game of BS (Bull Shit), you’re given a set of slides to present which you’ve not seen before and you are suppose to present it like you know it.

mine was to convince people that advertising is dead…oh dear..

Thanks mark for the picture best so far I’ve seen of my self. I know i need a hair cut badly :S

With this I end my little post on shootfest, I’m really looking forward to the next shootfest which could be ShootFest 002 : The World, (travel photography) see you guys again then!

Last week I caught up with Inverted Coma during one of their jam session…the studio was pretty cramp so excuse my badly framed shots..free music and I’m able to do what I enjoy….shooting

oh yea for those who are interested to know more bout them check out their web site www.inverted-coma.com

Posted up this set of pictures some time ago but didn’t manage to blog bout it due to my pc misbehaving. I’m finally done installing my new pc..and hopefully this windows 64 bit works fine.  If not wrong it was fashion week or something here in KL and there were a number of malls with fashion shows. I happen to catch this one on the 24th April. Kinda made the decision to go last minute so I didn’t have any pass to get a spot at the platform.

Before the fashion show started I was wondering how’s this lingerie fashion show gonna be since it’s a public event and there were plenty of underage kids around…nonetheless, I’m quite impress and satisfied with the idea of covering enough of the model and not reveal too much. Oh and I have to say…they were drop dead gorgeous…love most of them.

Amanda the Emcee

a bra that will give you booty-licious cleavage

she’s sooo cute

hair wash, hair wash!

it’s a little blur but it was a good moment…flirty model but I like! I think overall she was the one with the most cheerful face.

somehow this reminds me of that show devil wears prada or something

 my vote for the most photogenic model

I was driving back and saw a full moon, so why not capture this moment I guess there isn’t much to say

A continuation from my previous post here. My shots on some butterfly and other stuff with a Canon 100mm Macro and a Sigma 150mm macro lens. I’ve also came to respect these macro shooters as they really need super steady hands to do these shots. It was easy and all at first but after 4 hours or more…you can really feel you hands not listening to you.

 
hello world!

It seems that the colorful butterflies don’t quite like taking pictures and the ones which has dark colors love to..reason said is because they seem to keep flying whenever you are near and the black ones wont move at all no matter how near you approach it.

I never knew they love pineapples…

up close and personal….never knew that thing can they have can be rolled up.

Jiminy Cricket

lunch time!

closest I can get to this dude

badly framed shot..but nonetheless I love it. How often can you get to shoot a grasshopper from below

I got no idea what is this dude and what is that liquid

must be suffering from a hang over…

there’s some really nice tiny flowers there too…

ok this isn’t tiny

but this is.

looks a bit like monkey cups..mini version

Finally I’ve cleaned up some hardisk space so that I am able to process/resize some of my pictures. I know this has been on hold for really long. January 19 till today… man am I good in procrastinating. Anyways since we’re still on the topic of birds…let me take this opportunity to share some pictures of more birds.

this is one naughty bugger which kept on following us as we were shooting.

fishing?

kinda forgot what was this bird call…pea..foul?ahaha random guess.

tell me birds don’t kiss….

and I’ll prove you wrong.

I really love these parakeets, their colors really strike out on my camera!

I love his colors too…reminds me of those cartoon character…so..er..perfect?

lots of peacock there…

and also birds that show off…

and birds that complain

perfect moment! look closely and you’ll see dust and stuff being swing out from him..

The day I learn to respect bird shooters….man it is not easy at all to capture flying moments!

lastly..playful birds…

My mother seem to have luck in finding abandon birdie’s the last time she found one which was very young and could not fly at all. Poor baby must have fell from it’s nest or something and I got no idea how my mother found it. It stayed for about 3 days or so and finally gave up living its life. We tried to feed it but I guess it was more heart broken and home sick.

Not too sure what kind of bird it is, but it looked like a crow

This time my mother found a smaller size bird..which is almost as long as my middle finger…but this time I think its one of those lil brown sparrows around. It’s definately smaller but it seems to be older and much more mature, with its’ feather all grown and all. It cold also fly a lil now. So far it’s been good and still surviving. Before today we had to force it to eat by placing the food in its mouth but today he’s already eating on his own…and it also responds to my mothers call. It would fly to her hands when its being called…which is quite cute and suprising.

here’s the pics of this lil fellow…we’ve not given him a name yet.

If anyone here knows anything bout bringing up a bird and training it to feed/find food on its own please do contact me. Would really like to have this lil fellow be free when it’s ready.
