Portraits: Linda

3rd set of 2010 introducing Linda. Simple shoot using natural lights shot using the Nikon D300. I adjusted the levels on these photos again after I migrate all my stuff from my old notebook to the new one.

Looking at the photos after I extract them out of my old computer, I realized now why a lot of people say the photos I posted are slightly over-exposed. I guess the screen on my old notebook had been deceiving me and when I adjust the Levels, I adjusted it according to what I see on the screen. I even asked @StrippedSteph a few times when I was editing whether it was ok judging from the what we see from my computer.

Well… after migrating to this new notebook that has a properly calibrated screen, I realized that either that screen is fading in screen life or it was just designed like that (even though it’s already at it’s brightest). I’m no expert in photoshopping and no expert when it comes to all these color mumbo jumbo but hopefully, there will be some improvement when it comes to the contrast of the photos.

Yes, there’s only 3 photos from this set. I’ve posted the rest to my Flickr account so do feel free to comment on the above photos.

These Children taught me the true meaning of Never Give Up

About 2 weekends back, I had the chance to observe and interact with a group of children with intellectual disabilities. These children were basically born with Down’s syndrome but to me, these kids truly are quite special. Yes, unlike normal children, they take a longer time to comprehend things, even things as simple as opening [...]

The following clip was taken from Ken Loach’s film ‘Looking for Eric’. This particular clip shows Steve Evets, the depressive postman who conjures up his hero, Eric Cantona, to help him turn his life around, asks Cantona about his favorite moment.

Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s Party. Jack is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn’t taste like alcohol at all. He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself [...]

Apple & Job launched the iPad

After all the hype and the suspense leading up to yesterday night (Malaysia time), Apple finally launched their very own Tablet PC. Aptly named the iPad, it’s what most netizens would call an enlarged version of the iPod Touch/iPhone.

For people like myself who spend a lot of time online using their iPhone, this would be [...]

It’s death is a tragic one. Conspiracy theorists (on MSN, Twitter and Facebook) has been running wild over how it died. Hopefully it’s brain where all the data is stored is still in one piece (i’ve yet to figure [...]

Portraits: Sweet Lynnette Chua

Like the previous post, less words, more photos. A set of portraits I shot of Lynnette, the 2nd portrait session of 2010.

I think I’ll start a countdown down how many portrait session I’ve shot to see how far I could go for 2010.
