A day (night) with Tony & Amanda Wedding

2009-10-08T10:09:00.001+08:00

Tony and Amanda had their wedding registration on 09/09/09 at Thean Hou Temple. I am honored to be their photographer that day.

She has a sweet smile whenever I point the camera at her. Whereas Tony is a quiet and cool looking guy (he has the coolest picture of that day too). Thanks for all the meals, both of you is fun to work with. hehe

Wedding day - Nick & Ernie

2009-10-07T08:55:00.002+08:00

Waking up early after a long day work the day before was tiring but it is all worth it. I still remember when I first met Ernie. She had a dazzling smile and the instant moment, deep inside my mind “wow, she is pretty!” Of course Nick is has his own charisma and character too. Well, I will stop writing here. These are some pictures that I would love to share.

Truly China, Guilin 桂林山水甲天下

2009-06-15T04:10:00.004+08:00

I definitely will visit Guilin again but of course with proper planning. I did regret a bit by following tours because basically is just stop look go. Even worst the tour guide brought us to pearl, gem, silks, tea and knife shop! Now this gave me a bad impression on the tours in China.
Spending a few days in China you will get to talk to lots of people seeing beautiful jaw dropping sceneries. The scent in Guilin is different and this special scent was originating form 桂树 (bay tree), is more like a flower scent (I don’t know how to describe this scent but it smells good).

I left my money there, left my “gold” and left thousands of footprint in this land but I did bring back some unforgettable memories and pictures to share with you all.

Enjoy~

Trip to China

2009-06-15T03:10:00.013+08:00

June 6th 2009.
Since the outbreak of H1N1 I was told not go anywhere but staying at home. Well! Do you seriously think that a person that loves photography likes to stay at home? Haha. I was thinking should I withdraw from this trip or not but ended up boarding Air Asia AK102 and on my way to the wonderland.

Morning Flight

I always avoid seats near wings in order to get a perfect view when landing but this is exceptional for being the first shot of the day. I wish the airplane is 360 degree transparent so that I can shoot whatever angle I want.

China

Do you guys know that pumping petrol in China is RMB6.07 for ron 97 which is equivalent to RM3.145 so stop complain about the fuel hike!!!

Cultural Dance

This small kid were dancing along with the performers.

舞

I think I was lucky to get this shot being at the right time and right position. A slower shutter speed was used to achieve the moving feel.

Bamboo Raft
\
A place where "liu shan jie" (刘三姐) film. We were force to sing 山歌 with the lady. According to the locals you need to pawn the ladies that you like by singing 山歌 being lyrically strong, and if you win the lady she will marry you but if you lose you have to work as a slave for 3 years. so to sing or not to sing?

around 10 pm, some of the merchants are leaving.

It was 11.30pm, these people in Guilin town still working hard to earn a living.

Guilin city

My last day in Guilin town. Lurking around the town for last moment I have here.

Detian 德天

4th largest fall in the world located in between border line of Vietnam and China. This is one hell of a trip riding bus for 10 hours due to reroute. OMG!

Fubo Hill

Inside Fubo Hill

Silver Cave

I could not get a wider angle for this to get the WOW effect. When I first stop here for a moment I though " WOW, DEEP!!" but later found out that it was a 2 inch lake. It really makes me feel like I am at the peak of some mountain. In this cave you will get to know 人之初, will not say it here but if you really eager to know more, just visit this cave.
P.S ok, I know the center line is abit off but this is all i can get. enjoy.

Yangshou West street

why is called west street in the middle of china town? According to the tour guide because lots of foreigner loves to hang around here.

Zee Avi a Malaysian Artist

2009-05-20T17:23:00.005+08:00

This suppose to be a photograph related blog but I decided to share with you guys. The other day I came across this Malaysian singer in youtube. Her name is Zee Avi and being featured in youtube front page!! She has such a wonderful voice that touches our heart when listen. Some of her songs were a mixture of joyful and sad emotions.

A year ago she posted her original composition " No Christmas For Me (Original Song) " in youtube and got an enormous responses for over 700K of view count!! Soon after that she was signed for a record company in LA. Her debut album already released on May 19th

I think music is just like photography there is no language barrier.

MALAYSIA BOLEH!

A Step

On the other side of darkness, far away there shines a light,
A light to end all sorrow,
A light to be ever free,
A light for a new tomorrow
A light for you and me

On the other side of darkness, far away there shines a light,
A light which gives out joy,
A light which is made of love,
A light which minds employ,
That light in heaven above

On the other side of darkness, far away there shines a light
A light which bathes mans mind
in the wisdom of eternal flame
That which will redeem mankind
And make the highest truths plain

~Wedding~ 31th Dec 2008

2009-02-03T19:03:00.004+08:00

Some say preparing wedding is one of the most stressful periods

Some say during the wedding day it was fun...... (The list goes on and on)

but to me it was honourable to capture their precious moment.

On 31th Dec 2008, it was a big day for Christine (Kenny’s sis) and Mun Keat. This lovely couple was sweet and charming (especially Christine who have lots of facial expression and also photogenic).
Recently I was a little busy therefore will try my best to upload some other wedding photographs taken last year.

Please enjoy this series at the moment~

Was testing this 50mm prime ~ shot it a f/1.4. this pic was not as sharp because there is a huge layer of glass( dirty glass!!) in front of it.

I wonder, does this pic give you a movie "like" feeling? hmmmm

f/1.4

f/1.4 lens and hood

BOKEH!!! BOKEH!!! BOKEH!!!!!!

I went out with my cousin Joshua the other day to get two units of Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. I used to think that getting a zoom lens from 24mm- 40mm with f/1.2 will be perfect but not till I tried this 50mm prime. The results were astonished, with fast AF, useable at f/1.4, and also the Canon colour!!

We spent a hour plus just to test a few more units of this lens to make sure that we obtain the sharp copy. I also tested a Canon EF 17-35mm f/2.8 L in YL camera Pudu plaza, but at 100% crop it wasn't as sharp as this 50mm prime. Interms of colour the 50mm is comparable too but I still prefer the L.

Both the above pictures were taken at f/1.4 straight out from the camera with no PP at all. Gonna love this baby a little more right now~

Then this old lady reply me "wow! you re from the press, you must be very good".

I arrived at Putrajaya about 7.00pm then “jalan-jalan” around Putrajaya and ended up near the smallest bridge which I don’t even know its name. This month will be full of fireworks. Enjoy!

One day a cute little doggie ran all the way out from its master to explore the "WORLD"

I am free!!

Do I looks like a mouse or a pig?? =p

??!!!! I wonder what is this place.

I think I am lost.. >.<''

BRING IT ON!!!(What with this mutated mouse starring at me??)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. how am I suppose..

..to cross this bridge? hmmm >.

well, I guess you never know how huge the "world" is from this side.. hehe

OMG!!! HEPL!!!! help~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope there are some other dogs that notice me~

what are u laughing at??

I might looks cute at times but don't mess with me!

I(the photographer, not the dog) always wanted to shoot something different, something which I don't have any knowledge about it. This is the first time for "wild life" photography and I found out that shooting animals is extremely difficult as they constantly moving around nonstop. My 50mm lens was not enough for this task or rather I should say inappropriate for animals, Iwould suggest a 70-200mm lens.

Goh, thanks for providing your beloved dog to become my model~ haha

看图说画的旧图心语 by自由飞翔

2008-07-02T22:46:00.003+08:00

Just to share something meaningful.
click here for original post

很多人总喜欢回忆童年
很多人总盼望回去童年
因为童年对大多数人总是快乐的
童年对大多数人总是值得回味的!

自由飞翔"离开"童年有好一段日子了.
在准备给这照片"说画"的时候
忽然惊觉自己童年的玩伴好像很多都已经失去联络了.
是什么让我们变得这样的无奈...
人是越认识越多...
但老朋友却越来越少??
朋友是越积越多...
但真正可以交心的却越来越少??

我总是说可以认识是一种缘分...
毕竟茫茫数十亿人中我们可以认识是件不简单的事.
可以相知更是一种不可多得的幸福...
人生中人来人往多少人进入我们生命?
您我可以相知实在要好好珍惜.
从认识,到相知...到相互信任可以交心.....
有些人恐怕一辈子都找不到一个这样的朋友!!
我在这个时候开始怀念我的小学同学了......

想念以前一起爬过篱笆溜进校园打羽球
想念以前男生女生势不两立的您争我吵
想念以前和隔壁座的朋友画线相隔,谁也不准超越"那条界"
想念毕业时大家哭唱毕业歌的情形...
朋友,您们都好吗??

有没有发觉很多您身边的"好好好朋友"都已经很少联络了....
有没有发觉很多一起高谈摄影一起拍照的朋友都已经不知所在了??
他们还好吗?您想念他们吗?
电邮??电话??短讯??您打算怎样联络他们呢?

朋友,如果今天我忽然收到您的来信....
我一定开心得不得了!!!

祝每位爱好摄影的朋友一直都拥有"朋友"!!
特别是童年的朋友!!
有"童伴"走人生路一定很好!!

"我不受你玩"...
一句孩童时代的"名句"
每当有什么意见不合的时候
总会说:"我不受你玩"
仿佛"我不受你玩"您就惨了....
但不到一天...大家又玩在一起了.

今天的我已经很久没有听到这样的话了...
但一旦友情面对问题...
往往就一发不可收拾...

在云南的时候看见这群小孩在戏水..
照片中的小孩站这看"童伴"们在玩..
很久都没有过去..
仿佛他被人家说"不受你玩"...
有点无奈...有点失落...

朋友们..记得要受我玩啊!

THE PICTURES IN THIS POST BELOW ARE RATED AS "R" or "18SG" . UNDER 17 REQUIRES ACCOMPANYING PARENTS OR ADULT GUARDIAN.

I am experimenting on how color can produce different emotions. These images were taken few months back. Another WARNING! THESE images contain explicit violence that may disturb young children!!

A few methods to obtain this effect are play with each of the saturation of the color, dodge and burn, high pass filter, noise, contrast and color mode.

MARTELL's Rising Personalities Award 2008@KLPAC

2008-06-03T04:33:00.006+08:00

I was fortunate enough to be one of the “paparazzi” in this event!! Get close enough to see (shoot them!!) some local celebrities such as Joanne Yeoh (Professional Vionlinist), Chris Yong (Fashion Stylist), Justin Chan (Actor&Music Producer), Blink Lau (DJ), Jaclyn Victor (recording Artist), Vince Chong (song composer), Jonathan Putra (TV Host, Producer, Broadcast Journalist), Sharon Lam (Professional Photographer) and Adrian Yap (Publisher).

These people were feature in THE STAR not long ago. One of my favorite articles by these local celebrities was from Sharon Lam, it was a story about how she got into photography. She was pursuing a business degree in Australia a final year student! This is what she said “I used to dream of studying at the Victorian College of Arts, a very prestigious school in Melbourne that is extremely difficult to get into. I applied, and, to my delight, was accepted! I was in a dilemma, though, as I was still doing my business course at the time and I had to decide if I wanted to continue or pursue photography. I chose photography, and have never looked back since.”

A woman than can earn a living from photography is considered remarkable!!! Imaging when we go out for outdoor shooting, carrying a few lens each weight about 800grams a body, 2 to 3 flash (each 600grams), HUGE tripod 4kg, and strobes!! Add up these stuff should be around 15kg or more. How would a woman carrying all this stuff walking around?! SALUTE!!

My favorites quote by Sharon Lam is “you cannot duplicate somebody else’s work.” I totally agree on this statement, copy does not make you a pro regardless what type of job you are doing!

Back to topic, I was surprise to met friends from photopintu forum too. They are really funny, haha… Another old sifu gave me some tips on how to shoot as well although it was just simple tips but it does helped a lot. Oh ya, there were so many hot chicks (models) that smile at us (these girls really enlighten our shooting session). I was paid to shoot at the walk way so no models picture to share for you guys. Sry~

IT WAS FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

25th May Outdoor portrait@FRIM,Lagong& Bkt. Tinggi

2008-05-28T16:11:00.011+08:00

I plan this outdoor portrait for about one month ago. Everything went on well until some models cancel it. Even worst! There are two models that cancel it last minute (on 24^th may)!!!! I will remember their face!!

I have to give all the credit to the makeup artist, Connie, without her support this would not happen. Of course my fellow photographers wonderboy, enigmaz, yellowbanana, gin and Kenny (do I really need to say this!?) to join us in this event.

Things don’t turn out as plan because we were chased out from FRIM. I only manage to get a few shots there. After that we headed towards Ulu Yum (a place where you can see lots of superbike running especially weekends) and we ended up in a small stream (Lagong).

The next location was in Japanese village, Bukit Tinggi (not the one in Klang). We have to rent Kimono for the models each kimono is RM20 for half an hour only. Therefore we have to distribute the time evenly to swap the models. Six of us were divided into two groups and we swapped the models after 15 minute. Things was so rushed, I didn’t even have enough time to check the white balance, available lights, exposure and even composition. All the shots were “DON’T THINK JUST SHOOT” (lomography), so in the end I wasted a few shots.

I have to thank the models Kah Mun (Orange) and Carmen to join us this outing. Thanks for the feedback given by them. I really appreciate and will keep that in mind. hehe

Enjoy~

Cute Monkey@ Bkt. Melawati

2008-05-01T21:45:00.001+08:00

Cute Monkey, originally uploaded by HanJun2008.

After the paddy trip on the same day, we visited Bkt Melawati. Things to shoot there are buildings, canons, people (street photography), and MONKEYS!!!!

This special monkey caught my eye as it has those "wondering" kind of feelings. By looking in its eyes, it gave me different feelings such as wondering, thinking, stun, want to smile, weired, etc..

To capture all the details i have to use on camera flash to fill ( about -1.6 ev compensation). I was constantly checking the histogram in order to make sure it has the correct exposure. Things are getting harder here because according to the histogram the exposures is either far left or far right ( which means the bright will burn out, and the dark will lost of details).

Lotus, originally uploaded by HanJun2008.

This is my favorite of all for the day trip in sekinchan, although I shoot paddy more. I notice this lotus is so stand out compare to others. I used spot metering to meter the center of this lotus because it has the highest. Some said "this lotus is so scare, it glow in the dark". In my opinion it does shine in the dark showing others how strong it can be.

This is such an awesome trip! A TT session and photo shooting at Sekinchan paddy field. The members that join this trip are Wonderboy, Enigmaz, yellowbanana and members in chinese cari(all nikon user!!!!). We departed around 6.30am in Klang which means I had to woke up earlier than that! It was fun to get to meet new people although I didn't know their names but at least I had a chance to try out the famous Nikon D300 and its Macro lens. I was amazed at the respond of the D300 especially the AF points and the huge/bright view finder. oh ya, we got 4 or 5 tamron 17-50 users that day, is like a tamron reunion althoug different body. lol. Hope u guys love this series

Did you notice the morning dew? hope u does,lol. Even now I am still saying in mind " IF i had a macro lens, i ll shoot all the dew and insects, IF.." but according to my secondary principle he said that "IF" is the most meaningless word in the dictionary and there is not "IF" in his dictionary because we need to work hard to success.

Rainbow fall, originally uploaded by HanJun2008.

An hour of 4WD journey and 30 min hike will get you here "Rainbow Fall" at Sungai Lembing.

"Sungai Lembing is a tin mining town 42 km northwest of Kuantan in Pahang, Malaysia. Lembing is Malay for spear, and "sungai" means river. Per local legend, the local ruler saw a vision of a spear in the nearby river and thus named his town after this vision.

Until the 1970s, Sungai Lembing was a major producer of underground tin. Sungai Lembing town developed in the 1880's when the British set up the tin mining industry, although the history of mining in this area extends much further back. From 1891, the Pahang Consolidated Company Limited, (PCCL), which was under British control, had a 77-year lease to mine the area. PCCL managed the mine from 1906 until its liquidation in 1986 when world tin prices collapsed.

The pit mines were closed in 1986 due to high operational costs and low yields, but during their heyday they were among the largest and deepest in the world. The total tunnel length is 322 km, with a depth of between 610 m and 700 m. A museum highlighting the tin mining industry was opened in 2003. The museum is housed in an old bungalow once used by the mine manager. The museum houses a collection of mining artifacts.

Today the town of Sg Lembing is in decline although it was once the richest town in Pahang, known as El Dorado of the East. In the 1940's about 1400 people worked in the mine. Today many of the wooden shoplots are closed and people are moving away. The town straddles the river, and the main street on the right bank is split by an avenue of majestic trees. At the end, an old wooden building overlooks the padang where games of cricket and other social activities were held.
Nearby Sungai Lembing is Bukit Panorama, which is a popular place to watch the sunrise. 16 km from Sg. Lembing is Gunung Tapis Nature Park, where one can camp, fish, and shoot the rapids. Gunung Tapis itself is 1,512 m high. On the way to Sg. Lembing at the hamlet of Pancing is Gua Charas, a temple cave that is a popular tourist destination, also Sungai Pandan Waterfall, which is 29 km from Kuantan." --------------taken from wikipedia

I went Port Dickson on 15 Feb and the objective on that day was to snap some sunset pics but eventually it turn out to be some boring a sky. I could not even get a decent silhouetted composition. Even worse my PD friend did not reply me on time.. so I went to the bridge that i usually will go for some shoots but it was closed down for reconstruction so I climb carefully to the bottom of the bridge just for this picture. I already tweak the WB slightly lesser for this effect.
