Danboard and Yatsuba

Date: April 25th 2010, Sunday
Time: Late Morning
Weather: Bright and warm
Location: Some jungle in Kepong

A shoot inspired by Soon Hong. He wanted to shoot Danboard (or something with that name) and a girl(which I forgot the name, think it's Yatsuba). First time shooting toy outdoor. Togehter with Roy, we went for breakfast and then head to FRIM, the jungle. Gosh parking was expensive. Car 1 rate, i think RM5 or something. Then each person is RM1 or RM2. What a rip off...But heck, they need the money to maintain the jungle, so ok la....give give! Jungle was nice, light was good, slightly blocked by the dense forest.

Roy gave a crash course on using the 50mm. 50mm is sharpest at 5.6 and the best shutter speed is 1/125 which is the speed of light. Actually it is more than that. But not going to write down...Coz I can't really remember it :P Anyway...photo time

It’s arranged in a way to portray a story. Well at least I try to. This can also be found at http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=227267&id=651319553

That’s all folks… Thank you for your time…

May + Bee

Date: March 27th 2010, Saturday
Time: Late Morning
Weather: Warm, fuzzy sun
Location: Ulu Yam (I think)

On this fateful day, well or rather the day before, Zen called me up and ask me if I want to attend a shoot. Since he says it won't cost me anything, I thought, what the heck right, just go la...Only need to pay for fuel, food, and toll. So I got ready, charge my camera and wait for the day. He told me it's an outdoor shoot, waterfall. So I did not pack my flash. BIG mistake...UGHHHH! (Note to self: Always bring flash. ALWAYS)

SO the day came and off I go. Picked up Zen and then go pick up the models. And after stopping for breakfast and waiting for the rest of the gang we went to the waterfall. Good road to drive on, if I am alone. With Zen in the car and 2 models, aih, have to drive darn slow.

After what feels like a thousand years, we reached there. Ughhh! spilled my coffee. NO COFFEE to start a shoot. Just great! Anyway, we split into 2 groups. Zen and 2 friends in 1 group, me and Ah Wah. All took out their gears and do some test shot. And this had to come and bring my morale down. One guys has a 40D and a 50D with grip, the other I can't see what model, Zen on his trusty 300D or 350D (can't remember) and Ah Wah with his 7D. And my gosh, the lens they have there, if no one knew we were there for a shoot, people would think we are Canon lens distributor for SEA. Seriously, there are that much lens there. And all, I literally mean all, original Canon lens. It's so good to be rich :( The flash they have, man, do I need to tell? SO off we go, start shooting. It was a great experience. Bee is quite natural, May can pose well. Ah Wah can direct. Apparently he is a portrait photog. Talk about pressure eh? Now what was that I wanted to write...hmmm....ohh yeah, Ah Wah has this lens, Made in Japan 1963. Still working.Had to do MF but heck it was that sharp. Anyway..enough talking, photo time...
