Wedding

Went for wedding event on 16 December 2009, it's cousin's wedding.

First time being a photographer in a wedding event.

Unfortunately I am not feeling well on the big day. The result wasn't that good, which need a lot of post processing.

I did some research before I go but everything is different from what I learn and planned.

The problem I encountered is the event started at late night, which the surroundings is so dark.

Also, the crowd is blocking me and I cannot get a picture with a desired angle.

Then my flash seems like having problem on metering, some of my shots were overexposed and underexposed.

Anyway, if you want to shoot wedding, you got to know the flow of the wedding.

Door game.

(above) Left man: "Ooi, open the gate!!!"

Right man: "Ang pau RM888 first!!!" [Just my own imagination, haha.]

(above) The bride seems so happy.

Tea ceremony.

People say this is the most long and boring moment, I am not sure of this, I just know this is a very important moment.

(above) Tea ceremony.

Outdoor shooting.

A nice spot, flashes, and reflectors if you have one.

No one told me I had to shoot outdoor, so I am unprepared... not even a paper or any white stuff as reflector...

Shot using only 50mm and SB800.

(above) The bride.

(above) The sisters. I liked this picture the most.

(above) White girl and black man.

Both bride and bridegroom were so tired, so the outdoor session had to end earlier.

Not much shots taken.

(above) I like the color mood of this picture, a little bit desaturated.

Lunch or dinner or whatever cerebration.

People eat, drink, and talk. Some sings too, it depends.

Usually group pictures, family pictures, pictures with friends took here. get ready for a wide angle lens (if got) and flash sphere or whatever.

It is quite fun to capture the yum seng moment.

(above) Yum seng!!!

There is no reshoot on wedding event. This phrase can be seen on every photographers blog, tips or their sharing. Yes, it is true, no reshoot.

Just want to share my experience on my first wedding shooting.

Comments and critics are welcome.

Girl In Blue

Drew something recently, a girl, blue in color.
Just for a little practice on how to draw girl.
I remembered Benjamin once said, 'girl is quite hard to draw, final outcome might become a man with large breast.' something something......



(above) Cold?


Next girl should be green in color. Haha.
I forgot to name this character...

First post in 2010

ZY's log, date 2010.1.1

This is the first day of 2010.

Everything seems fine. Good sleep, good meal, good day.

Good news, I finally created Facebook, kind of shit...

Still, something is not going according to the plan.

P1, uploading is unavailable, which means I cannot upload pictures to blogspot, or send email with attachment.

I sketch something and it should be uploaded to this post. Due to the conection problem, plan changed.

2009 is not a really good year. Things happen.

2010 is going to be a very good year.

ZY out.

End of log.

9 DEC 2009, Wed.

That day was a perfect day for shooting, blue sky and white cloud.

Too bad I am not taking pictures outdoor.

Instead, inside photography studio.

First of all, let me introduce our model.

ShinYee, Celine, Matin, and LaiKuan.

(above) Character card, from ShinYee to LaiKuan.

(above) Taken at the very beginning, both model and photographers still warming up.

(above) The violinist.

It's Celine's turn.

(above) Colored light source.

(above) I like this kind of effect, a little flare, like a painting.

Matin.

(above) He look like an artist here.

(above) Oh, Matin....

Ah, first time post so many pics, more pictures coming, please wait patiently.

Still got a lot picture to go.

If I misspelled the models name, correct me.

Not really satisfy on this shooting... it is never easy to achieve the title of PHOTOGRAPHER.

-TO BE CONTINUE-

DCM- Malacca Mission

Shots taken during fieldtrip.

Shots proven by lecturer, total 5.

(above) Yellow chair, red wall, blue pants.

(above) Hey, stop acting.

(above) Together we visit temple.

(above) Becareful, there is still a long way to go.

(above) Splash!

Lecturer's comments, "Interesting subject, each picture contain elements of Malacca."

Nothing much to say, a picture worth a thousand words, now here I got at least 5000 words.

Mission accomplished.
