Arizona Diaries – Sedona

March 4, 2009

Sedona, a city (or town perhaps?) located at the northern area of Arizona; is famous with its stunning “Red Rocks” landscaping, where the formation of the red sandstone appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising and setting sun…

With all these attractive info I got from internet and my colleagues in US, it became my first targeted place to visit when I was there in AZ. It only takes about 2 hours drive to travel from the place I stayed to Sedona, hence it’s a great place to visit for a short trip plan. There are quite a number of great scenary spots you can visit in Sedona but due to time limitation, I only got to visit a few of them. In which, the Church of the Holy Cross is one my top rank places to visit, due to it’s stunning architechture built over the top of the hill.

Enjoy the photos! (Click for flash album)

Arizona Diaries – Prologue

February 28, 2009

“krek~krek~krek…”
(tuning back the time to last year this time – 2008)

As mentioned in my Arizona Diaries – Monument Valley post before, I had to travel to Arizona for my company’s product transfer assignment; and these photos we taken when I was on my way there and also around the place that I was staying. It marked the beginning of my journey to the desert land….

I’m slowly making some progress digging out those photos taken during my trip there, stay tune!

Next stop will be at Sedona.

RockStar – Karen T

February 23, 2009

A back-dated project which I wanted to complete for since almost 2 years ago.

This is the same project as “Karen – The Terminal” but instead we wanted to do the “Rock Star” theme originally; inspired by some of the MVs we’ve seen over the TV. I guess we didn’t execute it quite well as we couldn’t find the electric guitars and stuff like big speakers etc to fill up the rather empty abandon train terminal. However, instead of our lack of preparation, Karen did an excellent job on the acting (modeling) part. She is so easy to shoot and she played the Rock Star role so naturally. I wish I have a second chance to work with her again in future (with better preparation).

哈比牛年之再战极乐寺篇

February 14, 2009

情人节快乐！

（没拖拍的朋友们也不要沮丧，希望在人间，去找些同病相连的朋友们聚聚，说不定还会有艳遇哦！）

话说经上次“一年不如一年呀” 的耻辱后，心有不甘；约了魔人决定再战极乐寺！！

主角还是大家熟悉的”Jagung”; 当然, 要跳出不拍”Jagung”的匡匡决非易事,

不过如果连”Jagung”都拍不好的话, 拍”Jagung”旁的事与物也就更不用提了…

成果？= “还好”。。。|||-.-

由于“黄金时段”相当短暂，只好放弃了到”Jagung”低下取景的念头, 就保留给下次吧.

哈比牛年之新街广场新春大团拜篇

February 6, 2009

通常这种人潮拥挤的热闹场面，我是避而远之；
可这次不知吃错舍药，竟然”爽约”了个跛子去”热血”了一下…
(注意最后一张照片, 那是我当天最得意的照片, 拐杖Monopod, 死味?)

这种场面本来就不太会拍,
随便拍拍, 乱乱后制,
希望你心脏可以负荷.

热血万岁!!!

英文还是要来一下, 总得照顾一下香蕉人嘛!

哈比牛年之极乐寺2009篇

January 28, 2009

“又”新年了…哈哈,越老时间总是过得特别快,转眼间一年又一年的过去了.
话说两年前才和班朋友上山拍极乐寺亮灯+烟花,今年我们又回到同样的地方,拍同样的东西(有够闷的,哈!)
不过,说实话这次除了志在和那些摄影咖聚聚之外,也希望可以再练一练拍摄烟花的技巧, 实在有够难掌握的。
总的来说，这次拍出来的结果并没达到我想要的水准和效果，甚至感觉还差过两年前拍的，没办法，只好期待下一次的进步！

两年前拍的：

T-Pin & Mandy

January 11, 2009

26th, 27th of Dec, 2008

Ok, just got the permission from T-Pin and Mandy to share this. Thanks!

T-Pin, another old friend of mine since Primary school (seems like all the old friends are getting married at the same time huh? LOL~). And Mandy and I knew each other thru a tuition class during high school time. Funny thing is that I never “relate” them in my “friendship network” as I don’t really know that they know each other… until I was on my way to their wedding reception. Hahaha….what a small world!

Would like to congrats them again and thanks them for giving me the opportunity to cover their big day. I really enjoyed the process very much!

Here’s the slideshow of the ceremony session on 27th of Dec. To ensure uninterrupted viewing pleasure, try pausing the video to wait for buffer to be loaded. Enjoy!!

Guan Tatt & Szu Khee

January 10, 2009

Ya, ya, I have to admit, I was being lazy for the past few weeks. There’s only one update for the month of Dec 2008. Haha, by not finding excuses I better show my action with an update.

20th, 21st of Dec, 2008

Oh yeah, another old friend getting married. Now all the “old men” were getting married. LOL~ Guan Tatt is a friend of mine since primary school; and we were among the active members in the Scout troop during high school, spending countless time together running activities: campfire, training camp, JOTA…..

His “big days” ware like a mini reunion to us. All the high school friends joining the fun and sharing the joys with the couple. And off course, you won’t miss the “tradition” of CLHS – taking ppl pants off!! Sorry that the photos would have to be censored off from the album since it’s rated as “18-SX”. But who else would you guess the victim be?
