Highlights: Kenneth & Ting

A weekend with Kenneth and Ting, a very sporting, young, hyper couple. It was humid, shooting under the heat was a challenge... We scouted a couple of sites in town in the heart of Penang and manage to shoot some urban shots with the young couple :)

After the shooting session, we stop by weld quay to have a thirst quenching "ai yin pin" by the road side... ah.... satisfaction :D

Here are some of the lovely shots to share.

Photo Talk : Gear Matters??

There's has been many times we were questioned by friends how are gears important in getting good pictures. In my honest opinion, having gears will help produce good quality pictures, but at the end of the day, it is nothing more than just another machine.

It is the photographer who will be controlling the gear, composing and deciding what settings should be, where the subject should be placed, considering the factors to bring the best out of the photos. To make sure the gears are used to it's fullest potential depends on the person who is using it.

Having a set of pro brushes and a pallete of colours, but without a painter, is just another tool. But a painter with any brush or paint can make art happen.
Camera don't take pictures, photographers do.

An interesting article from Ken Rockwell...

Ok now let's have a group photo boys... Say Cheese!!
Love 'em all...

Testing out the new lens

Recently, we welcome 2 lens into our pixous family.

The small, lightweight, superbokeh lens.... 35 mm, F2 and the sleek, medium sized, macro lens : 60mm; f2.8.

We had some weekend fun with the lens when one of our friend invited us for a shooting session at G-hotel... We got some hot shots from the couple... her partner was quite shy during the shoot... and requested that his face was not revealed, so the bokeh was well utilised that day... :)

Some sharing of the shots...
p.s : Shots that don't reveal the face of the models were intentional
