Last week, I went off to a Seminar + Bootcamp in Kuala Lumpur after my Philippines trip. Talk about pro active. Phew.

From this boot camp I learn a lot from Wiki Lee bout discovering your photography style. How you know if you got the Mojo or when you produce that consistent result? This is a journey to be an Experienced photographer where all pictures always yield consistent result. Ilona is Wiki best partner and in everything he said she compliment his sentence. They are just awesome husband and wife doing great seminar for 20 enthusiast photographers in the camp! Great couple from Sydney Australia to speak in Malaysia.

Who else is doing the talking? Jenny Sun, Grace Tan, Jon Low, Mark Leo and Alex the Backpackr! They spoke on different areas from email techs to choosing clients you love. They are also the RedNinja crews which have been working around the clock to make the event a successful one.

We did a little Challenge in the RedNinja Camp where each photographers has to provide their 5 best pics of models provided to show Depth of Field, Frame, Spectacular Lighting and Pose. The location of this shoot is Corus Paradise Hotel in Port Dickson.

Here is my best five:

Rachel and Ser Young did a very good job and they are really gorgeous and handsome couple to work with. Mind you, Rachel is a bit pushy and don’t let her beauty cheat you. Just kidding.

-A ninja will shoot Photo Journalistic (PJ) Style while a samurai will do Posing on the couple. Wataa~!

-Play with light shine down from the ceiling.

-The gown by Pretty in White is gorgeous~! Mini skirt hidden in front of the nice long dress. Great gown for pretty long legs brides!

-caress her buttock, make her smile, talk funny to her. Things photog have to say to make the shot look natural. Tee hee.

-Sweet shot done with full zoom on 200mm 2.8 to blur out the background totally. The shot that I got 5th place. Thanks judges.

Out of 20 participants, only 8 prizes are prepared. Out of 8 prizes all are Canon products. Out of 8 prizes, 3 are mini Canon 5d MkII thumbdrive and 5 are Canon Lenspen. Out of the 8 prizes, this last picture where Rachel is being carried up I got 5th place and I WON the Canon lenspen. Nikon, wake up please.

Out of the 8 prizes non Nikon products. Nikon, I have been joining quite several workshops or interacting with many photogs yet I seldom hear you participate nor provided many sponsor to workshop. Time to wake up and don’t let us Nikon supporters down ok? Please come up with better price range par to par with Canon full frame body price or else…. I’m so intrigued with the video capability brought by the 5d MkII. One day, one fine day.

All the shots here are done with Nikon Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 VR II. I didn’t bring along my sweet 50mm 1.4 due to I’m traveling light this time. The post process also done with Johnathan laptop and I redo the post process here back in Kota Kinabalu. Hope you enjoy my little entry

Cheers!

How do I know them? Hmm, not from their high school but during our university time. I knew VC from our course in Business Policy (correct me if I’m wrong). Haha. Then we also joined the Magic Club together. It seems like yesterday. From him, I met his lover NS. After our Univ life we been separated bout 3years and I do bump into NS once a while in KK while bump to VC in the airport once.

So many initials mentioned in my blog. But for those who know them, do drop a comment in this blog. Cheers.

Congrats to my ex Curtin uni-mates. It was an honor and on 29th is another biggie day coming for you two. Lets make it great and awesome! Can’t wait to see other ex-Curtin who will be there. More pics will be available.

This is one risky shot at the side of the main road. I was so occupied that I continue shooting like those cars are my natural flashlights forgetting that they could hit me. The result worth it!

Happy New Year to everyone~!

This is the last wedding I did for the year 2009 and there is a 1st wedding I just did for 2010 which will be post later on.

I hope you all enjoy the wedding moments from this sweet couple from Brunei and Sabah. The wedding is full of surprises like dance entrance, beat box done by a girl in dinner dress, grandchildren performing and drama performance by their cousins.

Simply said it was executed so nicely.

I had the honor second shooting with Anna Rina on Mandy & Kenny wedding day. I was covering on the groom side and you can see the sisters aka “zi muis” had their sweet time torturing the brothers aka “heng dais” for an hour plus. Scary huh, they have to do yoga moves according to a video shown on the iMac. With Mascara, bras, undies and lipsticks on the guys while doing the sexy yoga moves.

During the night, we had the most awesome lighting effects you ever see and its not easy to shoot those ever changing lights

Here are some of the shots during the day time at the groom place.

Here is the night shots photographs at Sutera Harbour Resort – The Magellan Sutera, Kota Kinabalu Sabah Malaysia.

That’s all guys! Many more weddings pictures to come including beautiful portraits. Cheerios. Have a blessed Christmas and a joyful month with your family & friends.

Kota Kinabalu is an awesome place to have a pre wedding shots with nice photographs of serene sunsets.

Feliz Navidad & a Prospero A Noy Felicidad!
