Bangsarbabe’s Blog Header

I have some friends coming up to me asking me about this photo they saw at Bangsarbabe‘s blog and asked me how it was done to get the color the way it is.

Truthfully, it’s quite simple to do, no major Photoshop editing was done on the photos aside from removing smudges from the photo. This was how it is straight out of the camera. The location and the afternoon sun did most of the work for me. (more…)

Portraits: Ai Li @ Barren Field

The following photos was done quite near to home back in Kota Damansara, a hidden gem of a place you can say. To me, there’s a lot of potential for shoots done here and I definitely want to keep it to myself.

Not trying to be stingy with locations and all but sometimes, when you share a place, so many people venture to it that the place tend to be destroyed. In the end, the one on the losing end is the venue itself as it’s beauty that first captivated our attention have become spoilt. (more…)

Going to the shops with Eva Lim

I know I posted up this post earlier but somehow it’s no longer in my list. I guess I’ll have to start all over again. :( A whole list of footnotes and stuff all gone down the drain. A bug? Someone got into my account with my super long password that I can barely remember and remove my posts?

Anyway, back to the post. What you get when you have a rainy day, a girl and 2 sets of clothes plus some free time on hand? No, don’t expect any wet t-shirt photos in here. Just a few photos of what I would say is an experimental photoshoot. I will list each photo with a short description of the set-up I used.

1. Escalating effect

Shot with the D300 with the AF Nikkor 50mm glass assist by 1 SB600 working as Slave. Slave positioned at the top right position with it’s strength at 1/1. Setting for Camera is ISO200, F/10 at shutter speed of 1/100sec.

2. Wall of Art(?)

Shot with the D300 with the Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 glass assist by 1 SB600 working as Slave. Slave positioned at the top right position with it’s strength at 1/16. Setting for Camera is ISO200, F/10 at shutter speed of 1/100sec.

One coming thing from these two photos is the way she stand and her head positioning, just realized the similarity only after I got home but oh well. What’s done’s done.

Portrait: Adele Chow

It was a nice Friday afternoon when 3 bloggers, jloi, cwken and myself decide to take some portraiture and roped in Adele to be our victim Model. The location was this place I’ve previously used for my shoot before and so I thought why not bring them there and let them have some fun in the place. Here’s my favorite photos from the shoot.
