As promised, there are the shots taken by me during the 2.5 days From Ordinary to Extraordinary workshop. Not a nice collection but will be better in future. Enjoy ya… Special thanks to models Sam, Reynaldo, Max, Vicky, Wendy and William. You guys are great. Poison a lot with 70-200mm lens.

 

Finally, the 2.5 days workshop ended. I like this workshop very much. Louis style of conducting this workshop is really fun and full of excitement. Although there is some pressure because each of us were given a 5min-challenge to shoot by ourselves, but we really enjoy it. Nice to meet friends from other places like KK, Kuching, KL/PJ as well as from local. Beside shooting skill, he gave us a lots tips on how to look for good lighting, do posing, communicating and relaxing our client. This is the area I really need to work on. He also gave us motivation and encouragement to be BRAVE and GO ALL THE WAY. Louis… Thank you so much for the coaching.

I felt a little bit of disappointed and discouraged because I couldn’t get a nice shots over the 2.5 days. No worry. I knew by applying what I had learnt, I shall be as good as Louis in some day. 加油 Let’s wait for that moment to come. I shall post my shots of the day later.

I should post this in the month of Feb. But I’m late. Anyhow, late better than none. Ye Lun 1st birthday is on 17th Feb and we had small party for him plus a get together lunch. Click here to view full photos.  

 

A quarter past and now is the 2nd quarter of 2008. There are still many tasks and items that need to close by me. Better do it before too late. I still have bunched of photos that awaiting for me to process. I would like to say sorry to Winnie as not able to deliver her photos on time. I’m a rookie and trying very hard to process her photos that taken back in Feb. The reason of slow is because I want try out a few different imaging software to see which one will giving the best results. Winnie, thanks for your patient.

Last weekend was my best friend PS and BE’s wedding day. I volunteer myself to be their wedding photographer to capture their precious moments. Again, I need time to process all these photos. Please don’t put me into the pressure cooker. Hopefully I’m able to deliver the photos after they come back from thier honeymoon. I will putt in my upcoming post.

10 more days, I will be attending the 2.5 days wedding photography workshop by Louis Pang. I’m looking forward to meet the most wanted wedding photographer in Malaysia. As a beginner, I hope I can fully utilize this workshop to enhance my skill and knowledge in this field. The workshop is requesting us to send in our works for Louis to review. Now, I’m going back to my hard drive to search for it and hope to get some constructive comments and critiques from him.

Two weeks ago, I went to a seafood restaurant to have lunch with my colleagues. The restaurant called Bali Hai Seafood and it just located along the Gurney Drive. This is the first time I had a wonderful dishes for my lunch. You know what; we had a lobster for lunch. Although having lobster is not first time for me. But this round is a bit special where I had it during lunch. I think this is the most luxury and expensive lunch that I ever had. Just the lobster itself weight about 2.7kg and it’s cost at RM500. At the end of the day, the total bill was ~RM900. Wa Lau A…

Time flies, it’s already start of March 2008. Almost a quarter has gone. What had I done for the past 2 months? Seem like I’m relax. It might be too many holiday seasons for the last 2 months and now lazy to work, still in holiday mood. Cannot be… knock knock… wake up. Have to do something. Emm… need to think about my future plan for my job. Recently management has created some sort of development plans for all. Either can grow in technical path or people management way. But what I think about this project is just for Hollywood show. Want to make all employees feel happy. To show the top management cares about employees. Have to choose one. How? I know my own capability and both technical and management job are very tough for me. But this is the only way for me to growth. Aiyah… I cannot made decision in a short period. Let’s wait and see.
