Cardiff Daffodil Girl

We went to Cardiff, Wales . We met a Malaysian Girl while walking down Bute Park. The blooming daffodil make the girls crazy over the colourful yellow. I politely ask to make a photograph of her. I'm losing the sunlight pretty quick and need to shoot fast. Here it is with the Millennium Stadium in background and the nature beauty in foreground.


Ah-ha..sebenarrnya, nilah Jacqueline, a Malaysian makes a living in Cardiff, UK. Thanks for the hospitality. Bila mau turun Manchester pulak bah?

you need to print them biglah!

Most Eligible Bachelor

On the way back from Sheffield to Manchester, we stopped by the lake for some pictures. We didn't realize we broke into a private property area. However the owner who just got back from fishing gave us 2 minutes to finish the photo shoot. I had this shot set up in just 2 minutes..

Head on for individual shots for these guys..


Macam celebritiy Hong Kong bah..

After the 2 minutes ended, we continued shooting from outside the wall.

Albert...If I'm not mistakenlah..:)


I dig the shoes.

Happy Birthday Ayu!

I just got back from Sheffield Malaysian Games. My wife invited me to join her friend's birthday party at Shere Khan Restaurant, here in the Curry Mile of Manchester. Yes, along the road you will get the taste of curry and halal foods with affordable price. A place for Malaysian not to be missed when travel to Manchester. (Postcode M14 XXX for those who wants to install the map in the Satellite Navigator lah).

I got load of pictures from Sheffield to upload but I got to publish this first since these ladies love their pictures to be taken, I gave them the go first. Anyway, it's her birthday!!

Let's see what did we have for the party

It looks like similar thing that we have with Chapati, Rot Chai etc..but it's not. It's for the salad.

The Birthday cake..apa lagi!

The wishes..

the blow

and beautiful friends last but not least

after 5 frames..I got them loosen up. That's why I need to take couple of exposures for you guys. :)

I got no problem with Jannah & Zaid :)

Now, for the modelling session pulak..Syura (paymaster that nite..)

Wan..

we went outside the busy road. Saturday nite in Rusholme is packed with hungry people and traffic jam. Doesn't stop the girl away from the camera. Sportinglah.

Gambar-gambar lain korang boleh download kat sini okay.

Thanks to Syam and Family

We slept over at Syam's place in London. Really great to see him after 10 years. He lives at very modern apartment overlooking the River Thame. Not to mention the yummy dinner from her wife. I miss the ikan bilis goreng very much!

OK Syam, nanti aku hanta poster ni kat hang. Sorry to let you to have portraiture outside the cold windy breeze, I just couldn't get enough of the beautiful view outside.

Against the sun

Kalau pakai kamera point n shoot dulu memang cuba nak ambik gambar melawan matahari, tapi apakan daya, flash dan control ada limitation. Tapi gambar ni agak kurang umph berbanding gambar kalau pakai off lighting. Kat sini pakai flash TTL dgn difffuser dome. Straight atas kamera. Kita akan cuba lagi nanti untuk lebih dramatik.



Haha..sut ni bawak dari Malaysia, Wan dia bagi. Agak lawak pada mulanya, tapi dia punya panas bila pakainya. Fuh! sgt la best time sejuk macam ni. Made in china beb!


Portait Thaqif, backlit, flash tembak straight.


Salah satu fav photo saya


Thaqif pelik nengok ais kepul.

Ooopss!..

Often, saya selalu mengingatkan diri supaya lebih berhati-hati bila memetik shutter. Background!..background..Background! Itulah yang selalu terlupa bila nak memilih lokasi untuk portrait atau gambar apa saja. Portrait pada saya akan 'ngam' dgn clean background..simple & tak berserabut. Mata kita tak akan merayau-rayau tengok benda lain (ada jugak yg suka merayau mata carik kesalahan gambar..hehe) kalau ada background yang clean and simple. Tapi yang paling pedih adalah ada benda-benda mencacak kat atas kepala subjek macam gambar orang letak peace sign atau tanduk kat belakang kepala member yg lain. Inilah dia gambar saya dok tenung-tenung dan saya rasa patut diperbetulkan...dalam entry saya yang ini



Macam ada tanduk rudolf pulak..erk! Takpe..kita belajar dari kesalahan. Kalau ambik dari angle lain boleh hilangkan masalah ini. Cari lain, boleh guna photoshop blurkan kayu kat belakang tu atau pakai lens 2.8 yg besar batang anak pisang tu. Saya ambik byk shot masa tu dan rasa itu yg saya suka tapi sebenarnya ada salah sikit dari segi komposisi.. Nasib baik ada gambar dari angle lain..



Tapi background agak sharp dan semak sikit tapi rasanya boleh dimaafkan compare dgn tanduk rudolf.

Portrait dgn clean background dan simple macam nilah kira. Mata terus tengok subjek lepas tu barulah figure out apa benda kat belakang tu..tapi background blur dan clean jadi tak begitu penting untuk ditengok lama2.

Kids with attitude

Selalunya, bila saya ambik gambar budak, saya akan terus snap gambar diorang tersenyum, atau suruh dia berlari-lari. Most of the time pose yang diorang suka buat tu ialah 'peace sign' tu. Kali ni, saya nak try suruh diorang posing pulak dan bagi expression muka sikit. Budak-budak memang cepat membesar, tahun depan fizikal diorang mungkin dah tak macam apa yang kita nampak hari. Next time saya nak suruh diorang pakai costume pelik-pelik sikit dan tengok reaksi diorang.
