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!
