A self portrait

I have recently purchased some flash accessories kit. Eager to test it out, called up Nfariz and Beruang Putih to join me for the session. We set the lights up, and walla! A self portrait of me. Shot courtesy of Beruang Putih, pp by me.





The lighting setup involves 3 lights.

580exII with softbox on top of me, 1/2 power.
580exII with barndoor behind my left, 1/8 power.
430exII with grids behind my right, 1/8 power.

Malaysian MotoGP 2009

I was very honored to be given a complimentary ticket to go to the Malaysian MotoGP by Canon Malaysia as a representative of ShutterAsia.

There I was on Saturday afternoon, with NFariz and geared with my toys. I can't recall when was the last time i shot motorsport action (probably never), but it was a great opportunity to learn how to pan. Took me about 30mins to adjust my swing following the biker's pace, then I'm all good :D

Here's a couple shots that I took. The rest of the series can be seen on my flickr.


Jorge Lorenzo of Team Fiat Yamaha




Dani Pedrosa of Team Honda Repsol




Valentino 'The Doctor' Rossi of Team Fiat Yamaha




It was a great experience for me, thank you Canon Malaysia and ShutterAsia. You guys ROCK! I'll end my post this time with another panning shot..



:P

A new theme planned a couple weeks back.. The Red Kebaya. After a location scout on Saturday, the shoot follows the day after.

You left me alone.. aimless.. what's left are memories... and the very last roses from you...


I miss those beautiful music you used to play for me..


The radio.. used to play your music all the time.. keeps me close to you.... where ever you are..


Why? Why do YOU have to take him away from me?!?!?


I have no more reason to live in this world.. bye bye world...i shall be with my loved one...
