Welp, now everything is back to the way it was... car'less, stuck at casa subang for the rest of the week and eat maggie... DAMN NAIS! hahaahha! its only been days im missing my "PJ" (im bolding THAT!) pwenz ( as what we call it :P ) Im missing i have to spend the night at faye's and aznam's home and get to lepak and shish every night at Montel :( having to listen at Najee's and Zai's lame stupid jokes and impersonations never gets tiring :) Ahhhhh and i wont forget the adventures too! I miss driving my car around, because my dad took back the car. My dad went gaji'less for 3 months and 2008 & 2009 been the toughest year so far of his life my dad said. He needed my car to cut petrol costs and use it to do search for jobs opportunity and stuffs. Im not angry dad, just that i need a little something of whats going on since that you never spoke to me whats been REALLY going on in your head. After we had that little father to son chat before you sent me back to college, i'll do my best to not make you regret sending me to college doing photography :) Its okay if at times you cant give me enough money, i have money from all the weddings i've took, i can take care of myself and hopefully i can lend you some of my income to help you out, dad :)

Now, back to college. Wakes up early in the morning - walks alone to college - say hi to everyone - sit inside the class for a mere 1 hour when actually the class suppose to end in the next 2 hours - walks back home - eat maggie - tengok tv and go to sleep, then repeat five times. what a life :P

thats fad, miss your jokes maaaann! this is the place where we hang out every night and shish :D

and thats acap, i mis- nahh i got tired of seeing you everyday :P haha

Urgh, just woke up from my lackness of sleeping :P why? I fell asleep during the job! It was my mistake that i didnt slept for the whole day, which was a day before the ceremony and it was all because of Final Fantasy Dissidia for the PSP :P I played it for 7 hours straight until i realized it was already 7am! I manage to get an hour of sleep time during the trip to Seremban. I couldnt focus as much as i wanted during the wedding, but at least i tried to stay awake from the help of my small cousins to keep me busy :P. Since i just sold my UWA ( Ultra wide angle ) Sigma 10-20 the other day, i shot the whole wedding with only a 50mm, just that for the group portrait i have to stretch far to get all of them into frame :P HAHAHA kinda funny though :P I never actually had the time and freedom to explore my kampung so the outdoor location for the shoot was actually just beside the hall hahahhaha! Got the chance to drive around too ( i didnt bring my license along but who cares anyway ) It was fun and all especially Nadia the bride's friend hahaha. Anyways, i manage to pull it all together even though i was super-duper sleepy. Here are the selected photos taken from the reception :

Owh! i've met someone who adored my work :P gila bangga weh hgahahahaha!

These photos are credited to TOEphoto, pssttt Nick i think its time you hand me the signature now :P

Learning how to light PART #2

2009-01-01T21:21:00.001-08:00

I just purchased anoher two units of Nikon SB600 for the past two days, and sadly i cant upload the photos because my CF card just died on me... SHIT. Ops! i should've posted my New Year post, gehhh whatever i didnt took any photos from the celebration either. I dont take photos when i dont feel liek it :P soooooooooo thats that :D. Since i have three units and faye got one unit, overall its 4 SB600 mayhem! :P I already mapped where to position the lights and everything, and hope it'll go according to plan. It was a lot tougher than i thought :P i was soo tired and exhausted, the shoot was setup around 3-5am at Tasik Kelana Jaya. I was being cranky, because i cant take ANY photos because my built in flash went kaput, so i cant trigger the CLS using my Nikon D70S. So i just supervised and jadi tukang pegang flash AGAIN -___-". Cant wait to get my hands on the radio triggers so that i can use my SB600s for myself :P Here's the lighting setup :

sheesshh too many sbs haha

Results:

it wasnt a full circle that i had imagine ( for the background ) will do googling around how that works.

this was faye's idea of instead putting the front flash forward facing downward towards the subject, he placed it on the floor upward to get this effect, nicely done :) I RIKEEE EEEIT :D hahahaha

my fav of all faye's shots are these two.

dont forget to visit his flickr site here
