Chill
After a long day at work, an evening out with friends has always been the best sanctuary to let off steam and catching up old times, before another day rolls in. It's like a cycle, but what would we do without an evening out?

Further Experimentation
Since I'm no longer unemployed now, I need to juggle up time between work, photography and blogging. Anyway, here are more pictures taken from last week's photoshoot with the Featuring Dancers in the evening of The Empire Hotel & Country Club. Just some different design experiments I've been working on these past few days, something to keep this blog occupied while I'm still trying to re-organize things and adapt myself in the working life.

Revamped And Revived
At last, all the tedious post-processing work is finally completed. Now I'm up for some tweaking and revamping on some of the photos I took from the photoshoot last Monday. I was thinking of reviving Aura and turn the image above into a concept design of a magazine front cover. Presto!

Viva La CS3
At these jobless times, the one thing that's been keeping me occupied is acquiring new techniques in image editing, which I think I still need to brush up, so I made a little experimentation on my stock photos and did my magic. Nothing beats multitudes of layers and brushes to achieve a gritty surreal imagery of a busy night street scene in KL. I should travel more and do this more often. Long live CS3!

Spring Cleaning
I've been procrastinating on cleaning my room these past few weeks. Well attachment's over and now's the perfect time for it. I've got a lot of stuff that has been occupying space on my desk in my room, particularly those gadgets and photography magazines that has been piling up.
I really need to clear up space for my workspace and get things more organized on my desk. My desktop PC is now up and running and I'll be using it solely for post-processing my images, so I need a more spacious environment since I'll be spending more time in my room during those image editing moments. Perhaps in the future I could turn my room into a mini studio.

Color Correction
Original image. Too warm. Sucks.
Many months ago, at a time when I first got my SB-600 flash, I had my camera settings completely wrong. My white balance was not entirely correct, so most of my indoor shots turned out bad. They were left as stock photos in my hard drive, unattended and unedited. Thankfully, I've managed to get my way through all that now by fixing that problem with Photoshop. It took me a while to figure it out, but in the end I've been able to recover some photos that's still worth something. Why oh why didn't I think of this earlier? D'oh! Well, time to recover the old photos. Nevertheless, I should learn to compose straight from the camera correctly before shooting from now on.

Assign, And They'll Follow
One of the most craziest things you could do during wedding shoots is the unimaginable poses you could come up with to assign your group shots. I mean, look at it this way. Normal group shot poses are so, well, normal... (although still necessary), in every wedding photo albums, so I figured I'd have a little fun of my own and changed my approach. In fact, it does give out a more memorable touch when you bend the rules. after all, the wedding is the most enjoyable time for the family members and guest (the young ones especially) to be in group shots and they'd do anything to be in the picture, so the photographer is literally in command. Of course, there are a lot more creative ideas you could come up with and try out, as long as they're not in the most awkward positions, it's all good.

Beautiful Moonlight Above Gadong
Went outing with the BFF last night in the back alleys of Gadong for a light painting session. Though I did not bring a tripod (okay, I don't really have one yet) and torches for last night's activity, I thought I'd capture this beautiful scenery at the location instead. Hey, its better than nothing right?

Epic Frequency
I'm currently learning on shooting band images for portfolios and promotional materials, so I thought I'd use these guys from Epic Frequency as part of my experiment. That green chair kinda ruin the shots though. I should be more mindful of distractions in a shot in the future.

The Daredevils In Our Living Room
Yep, I've changed my watermark. The previous one was too long and cluttered, no? I've decided to go for a simpler yet significant style which screams the identity and persona of the photographer. Since 2008 will be over soon, I'm off for a fresh new start next year.
