Embarking on a New Journey

Mr and Mrs Alan Ong

Me and Mark taking a break

Yesterday was the third wedding shoot assignment for me - Alan's and Evelyn's big day. The bride is a Cantonese, so the groom had to prepare a roasted suckling pig for his parents-in-law. My wife is also a Cantonese but as my mother-in-law wanted to simplify the wedding procedures, she asked for roasted meat instead. Haha... my "brothers" had it easy as compared to Alan's "brothers". They had to help him carry the suckling pig all the way to the bride's house.

Alan and his "brothers" were also spared the "torture" by the "sisters" during gatecrashing as he had the full support of his mother-in-law. She opened the gate for him before the "sisters" could think of any other "tortures". Lucky groom, we have here. The moral of the story for all future grooms - work on building good relationship with your future mother-in-law. She will be your saviour on your wedding day.

Cheers to Alan and Evelyn! Enjoy your honeymoon and wishing both of you a blissful marriage!

Beautiful Mistake

Rachel T - Lens Flare - 01

Rachel T - Lens Flare - 02

Finally completed part 2 of Rachel's shoot last Sunday. Just like the last shoot, I've split this shoot into 2 album. One with a brighter feel and the other with a darker touch. During this shoot, I've encountered a number of lens flare in my shots. I've tried changing angles and setting but it doesn't seem to go away. But come to think of it, the lens flare effect does give an artistic touch. Well, that's just my point of view. =)

The Unfinish Part 2

Did a shoot with Rachel in August buy we didn't finish second part of the shoot due to foul weather. As our schedule were pack and unforeseen event popping up one after another, we had to postpone the shoot for a few time. We've finally fix a date for the second shoot. I'm really looking forward to the shoot.

The Wedding Banquet ( Douglas & HuangMin )

A few weeks back, Mark informed me that RuiQi would like us to help her cousin on his wedding day shoot. Just the wedding banquet shoot he mentioned. I was thinking with such short period of time, would we be able to capture their moments? I'd like to capture candid moments whenever possible. However, they would freeze their facial expressions when they notice my camera pointing towards their direction. Now I understand why professional wedding photographer pack a long lens (70-200mm) with f2.8 to handle low light situations.

This is my second wedding day shoot. I hope to take up more of such shoots in future and improve on my composition and skills.

First F1 Night Race in Singapore

Singapore's first F1 night race ended last Sunday night with Fernando Alonso (Team Renault) winning the Marina Bay Circuit. All thanks to my buddy Mark, who managed to get two free tickets for both of us to witness history in the making. Could not really do panning as there were tall fences round the tracks and we had to move to the top of the grandstand to avoid capturing the fences in my viewfinder. I stood at the side of the grandstand throughout the whole event, hoping to capture some nice shots.

Couldn't really get a decent candid shot too as we were not allowed to walk about during the race. I would really like to capture the action at the pit stop, do panning shots at eye level, taking candid shots of the team in preparing and gearing up before the race, and many more. That can only be achieved if I were the official photographer. I couldn't even enter the pit stop and starting point.

The F1 night race will take place in Singapore for the next 4 years.

This is my second shoot with Ivan and I'm simply amazed with his set-up and the location he chose. I still prefer to shoot with my 30mm and 85mm prime lens.
