C.N.C

so i'm pretty much done with this session.
well above this the first shot on the left is actually working without any extra lights, so it's only
the nature light- sunlight. and i did chosen a couple non strobing shots this time, those that was
taken around 6 in the evening, because at that time between 6 - 7 the ambient started getting
low, which it produce really soft shadows, and excellent dramatic light.

flashes is all i've been working with all this time, so those might not be my best shots, but it's
worth for sharing perhaps?

back in 2 | group shot

sunday, day out to the northern coast to get the job done, it's been like two weeks since our last strobing projects, well infact we have been planning for this quite sometime before, and some sort of preparations and DIY gears as i mentioned before, but unfortunately it never had a chance being into play.
now with all the pretty girls, the process gone really well for this session, eventhou it was pretty tough, but it's been a great time for collaborating. the works will be up soon or later, so stay put.

before and after

nothing much have done two weeks back,
processor hard-drive went burst while i
was working on some projects for the clients.
trying hard to recover back the all data,
but nothing much left though.

well we have DIY a 10 meter x 10 meter
sunlight shine through translucent sheet
with the PVC builded frame for the sunday
photo-shooting session . so we came to
a coast which closed by where i live for a
try out on saturday. on the day we was sitting
there at the coast for hours. eventually we
get to witnessed the entire progress of the
gigantic raining clouds coming toward us and
takes over Penang island in very short period.
well as you can clearly see what we saw on
that day in the photos for the before and
after shots.

Observation

well it was a serious burning hot day, we was at the beach fortunately, it's pretty gusty though not as worse as in the town. well, we were looking up for a new spot for the upcoming photo session, so we heading up to the beaches anywhere around the northern coast, got us a spot which at the teluk pahang area, not as loaded and massed as the batu ferringhi coast, it give us a great space or working, no interruption and no extra works after when post-procession. So we kinda observed around for the suitable scene and angle, and took a few snaps here you can see on the above...

well infact we've bought some new stuffs & equipments, a couple super clamps, 12x12 meters blank sheet, stands...and so on, it will be a try-out for the light setups, it will do pretty handy, we'll see how to goes anyway. stay put :)

bear me with that two test shots on the side, it was really quick...so it's kind of a bit off.

time of your life

well, as I mentioned before about the portrait shots and i had hard time on going
through post progressing of all the photos, so i choose one of my personal favorite,
so there you go..

day out

a good lesson learnt that not to wear flip-flops for shooting day out, especially when you knows that
you were gonna have to walk for miles, the flip-flops thongs will gonna scratch your skins bit by bits
off.























atop of this was two of the shots that was taken yesterday. we came up with this idea for our day out
shooting without much thought , cause it's been awhile since our last out for street photography, kinda
missed that though..
and i've to say i was pretty tired, didn't really sleep well on the other night; like i said it was a sudden
plan. but it's been quite relaxing, unlike every other day out, the weather is actually pretty cool, not
even a inch of burnt skin after a 5 hours walked around town, although i got some skin scratched coz of
the flip-flop straps

so far that's the only two im get it done with, there's still couple more to go on, and also some of my
favorite portrait shots. guess i need to get my ass back to work, and more effort on my fave portrait shots!
way to go!

H | S - final

i had came up with a chrome version, some photo filtering
and saturation changes... just try not stay the same way
as the first two, making something different perhaps. well
I've cropped out some part of the last two photos, i suppose it look better this way, and so pretty
much done with this season. thanks heap for people who likes it, appreciated.

- i've disabled view large on the first photo ; do check on my flicker for perfect quality, enjoy!!

the desolate land

that's the place where we have found few weeks before. well it's hard to believe what i saw..what we have got there is a abandoned 5 stories shopping-mall, is where we did our photo-shooting last saturday, yet that's not just that, the entire area is empty which along the way there's rolls of abandoned shop-lots, and the shopping mall is just right in the center, and is full of overgrown grass all over the area, everything was torn apart, even the underground parking lot is filled with water ...well is a place where that is not possible for anyone to find in the city, at first it might look really spooky but yet it's epic, it would be a good used of place for different kinds of shooting.

about the shots that happened to be the longest hours we've worked on. 7 models - 1 scene and we split it out, taken one by one which to get the perfect even lighting on each models, i did mentioned about this before on previous post. it was an exhausted day from morning 9 until 5.

five & six

well, we've been spending the entire last saturday to look around for the suitable locations.., which we couldn't even really found what we really want though. fortunately, we got dig in deeper in a village area, there's like maybe 3 to 5 football fields long paddy field along the way for what we've found on the day..we reached and got everything all setting up around 4.30, well the sun is still high up on the sky, the bright sun give the nature soft light on the models and over the entire environment which is really good producing the best images, eventhough it's gonna be skin burning, but it's worth it for doing

and last, appreciate much for Hanni and Shann for the time and for that in a hurry.

i had a very tired weekend though, guess im gonna take a week rest now..

last night

the raining seasons got us stuck on every weekends recently. well fortunately, it turns out better for a couple hours last night, and so we able to get on with the progress and that have been planned for quite sometimes before.well much appreciated for Caroline and Jace for the big favor...gotta get on with my works then, cheers.

Perseid showers is definitely.

as I was told that we might be able to observe Perseid meteor showers at between 0130 am to 0400 am on August 13, will striking the sky hourly. so I was getting my camera , tripod, controller all set-up, waiting, looking forward for seeing Perseid meteor showers ... yet everyone is waited for the miracle but nothing comes up after all. people was complaining that might be just an prank, but is exactly opposite, the prediction of astronomy on Perseid meteors showers on August 13 is absolutely. indeed while i dig in, into flicker and i found some photos and a couple articles throughout google search.

popcorn | corn flakes

the facebook screwed up the quality of this photo. here is the high res. version.

test shots

it is test shots, I did some touch on photoshop. and I did it in 2 different vers.
monochrome - photo filtered , and full colors - sharpen edges.

facebook has reduced the quality of the one that I just uploaded here is the ori-vers.

multiple shots 1st attempt

the good ol'days ? no. well since last night we have none of works to get on with, then we came up with some new stuff, so now we had the time on experimenting it the new way that which we never did before - group action shot with using strobe. don't even mention about " action " even a group shot we're kind of dealing with sort of problems , back and forth we shots bunch of photos for one only scene. why would I say it takes time 'cause if we take one single shot for the entire group, lighting will come out really awful, then we take one by one, so what we will get the completely perfect lighting, guess it's the matter that we don't have the big lighting set-ups, well, then it comes to freezing high-speed action parts, is still a big question mark for me though... but we'll work things out. instead of keep on doing same thing over again, I guess this'd be real fun.

12-gauge

it is like my first time ever taking closed-up shots ( well it's not that very close-up ) but anyway, first I don't intend on taking any close-up shots that day, I was there taking some sunrise scenes, but 'cause of the sky doesn't came up good, as what we expected. I took a walk along the paddy field, I did some shots on the flowers , and then surprisingly I found a bunch of 12-gauge shotgun shells along the way, i wonder if they used it to shoot paddy stealers ? ( hope is not to take down the photographers who were trying to take photos of his paddy ) p.s : I'm only using 18 - 55 mm vr nikkor lens.

Natalie | the hope

perhaps we should start this from last saturday, it was a serious black saturday, we was suppose to did the shooting on saturday afternoon, but the sky doesn't seem to getting any better ever since at the morning, the unstop raining really gets on my nerves that day, stops and back again until the next day, sunday morning, but fortunately everything slowly gets better at the sunday afternoon, while we are heading out to the location. even it still do look kind of hazy though on the sky, but I insist to head to the location and see what's really going on, I ain't gonna wasted another day, another time again. we have passing by several locations around the batu ferringhi and teluk pahang. we was planing to get to the small beaches around teluk pahang area will have no strangers come to disturb, but the sea level increased after the rains , and the most terrifying thing is the waves that able to get higher around 5 feet tall, like it's my first time ever I seen in my life, and the entire tiny beaches has got covered up. well anyways, we got our spot on the first location, is at the Tropical Spice Garden , then we changed to another location is on the batu ferringhi beach. thank God for not let it rain, and we able to go on well with our photo-shooting and able to finished the first season without any heavy obstacles and thanks to Natalie for her help, I'm really appreciate that. here you go, on the top is couple test shots and progress shots, the final pieces will soon be done, then I'll need start arranging for the second season.

Shann*

this one is considered one of my fave.

Shann**

as if you do read the previous post on my blog, guess I doesn't need to go on
more explanation. well here you go, so far this is the first two that have done
with the post production part. I cant bare to go on anymore more photos tonight,
Im gonna have a break, anyways, enjoy C:

may the light of moon and rhythm of the music
be your guidance "

Tukun hill | Shann

we was suppose to photo-shoot at the St. Anne church today, but when the time we took out our stands the guards came toward us that we was told from the guards that we cannot do any photo-shooting in the church or anywhere around the church unfortunately. so we changed to tukun hill some where near by, we cant go far 'cause the time is running out,and infact it's getting late though. we have very short time today, but it goes quite well, and don't get wrong of the first piece, I like the way it is, but it is not the final pieces, I just took it to use as an example. anyways, thanks to Shann for her favor, and I should head to sack right now, tomorrow still got one more photo-shooting to go

behind the camera

I still can't figure out any name for the title yet, so far. this time everyone of
us came up with a lot of plans and ideas, and we decided to do the martial
arts theme, with a few fight scenes. anyways,well I still have a couple shots
of the behind the camera scenes, and a video, I didn't upload it yet though,
'cause I just can't bother much on arranging the photos to fitting in the layout,
it might takes sometime if it's too much, and I guess my photo works is still
keep on stacking...these photos is not the final pieces -

Evelynn | 1930s 2th

alright folks, this is the second pieces
of Evelynn. well I apologize that I uploading
it piece by piece, 'cause I was way freaking
bored tonight, and I just could not find the
feeling on working any photos tonight,
I just dont want to ruin any photos, you
know what I mean. anyways, I'll get some up
soon or later, hope you enjoy the picture. cheers.

Elaboration issue

a way of showing the differences, and the process refining
The search is on, we are now looking for candidates ,either girls or guys to collaborate on
creating beautiful and creative images, 'cause we were having our new studio up coming soon,
so we are now come up with the free-of-charge photo-shooting for who participate.
if you want your photos taken by us, or if anything of this is of interest. so you can text me back
regarding to this post, or text me through my facebook - for further details and informations.

Evelynn | 1930s

well as usual like every other weekends,
model shooting, but this time isn't me
who is in-charged on the model ( Evelyn )
a couple weeks back, Jace he had showed
me a link to Eve. facebook profile, saying
that he has got a model on his side, so
we can come up with some ideas and stuff
so I checked on Eve. pictures album, at
first it wasn't really that impress me, not
until when I saw her right infront of me
and I was like " holy cow,she's good! "
and infact she has got some really cool
cheongsam, pretty old-skool though. well
anyways,this is one of the shots on that
day. I'll put up more once I had enough time.
cheers

last | Novelle J.

here is the last piece photo of - Nicole first
season photo-shooting has done, but this is
not really satisfying us yet though. so we
have come up a couple ideas on discussion
after the first photo-shooting has done, we
want something bigger and something that
has more values and yes this sound much
things to get to prepared than usual, need
more props, researching on dressing up,
lighting, locations and etc. well clock is
ticking only left a couple days more for me
to do all the preparation, hope we managed
to get everything that we needed on
shooting day. more will come soon, cheers.

result | Novelle J.

the entire progress of choosing , arranging , and re-touching photos took me quiet sometimes. more to come..

the pixy girl

from ten to ten, working on the whole day, might
pretty exhausted though, even worse got trapped
in the screw up traffic all the way back home. well
fortunately, atleast we've got some good works
today, should be thanking Samantha and Nicole
for their big favor. well I realize that we don't
necessary using bunch of speed lights to bring out
the model, could have using speed light and reflector
will do good as well for simple set-up.
