Yesteday prime minister had announce that all government servants will get 50% bonus or at least RM 500 in the middle of this months. Oh this is a very good news for them especially when Hari Raya is coming. Even Quepacs also thanks the prime minister for those bonus. Lets imagine if you or me are the person who get those Bonus =) i will smile big for this entire days. Hehehe.

After all, at least Bonus reduce some of burden for those people who really need it. Good for them. But for others, lets think that ours (Rezeki) will come later.

Creative Light Pre Wedding | Putrajaya

Today is another stepping stone in my blog. I had created this blog since 2007 when i first started to write article and report about my running season. I was a runner for few years and it stop when i change my status to become a husband and now as a father.
A long long story to tell but i want to divert back to the topic mention above.

Dayah is one of my schoolmate back in 2000. I have only found her back in Facebook and she had decided to take me as her official wedding photographer. Initially she plan to getting married on next year but i don't know what happened (maybe due to her family discussion) she decide to getting married on September 2011 after Raya.

Because she hired me for all 3 events, i decided to give her free Pre-Wedding session and she can actually decide where she want to go. She call me and told that she want to have a picture of sunset theme and i suggested her to go to Putrajaya. This is one of the place that can get better sunset picture.

While I'm ready with all the tools needed such as portable flash which can do Off camera and wide lens etc, we go there earlier and wait for the sunset. While waiting, we take a few shots and make her comfortable with me and her pose.

After getting the right timing and few test shoots, this is what we get on that day.









Overall, we was very satisfied with the result and the picture. I cannot wait to shoot and give the best service on their wedding day.Oh not to forgot just to give you simple tips that i used to get those picture:

1. Flash is 45degree from subject
2. Iso set to either 100 or 200
3. Shutter not too low (50s is still ok, depends on your hand)
4. Try to get the best composition and take few shots try n error but bear in mind that golden hour can last only for few minutes not hours

If you have more tips can also share with me here =)

Just Right Level

Harini aku ade seminar dekat one world hotel. Tapi cerita arini bukanlah pasal seminar tu hehe. Tapi pasal just right level. korg mest tertanye2 apenye yg just right level ni kan?hehe..xpe just follow the story..

Dalam fotografi, knowledge + equipment yg sesuai dapat menghasilkan gmbar yg mantap. Tapi cube korg fikirkan, bila tengah2 berjalan di satu2 tempat..tetiba ade sesuatu benda yg menarik dan korg nk amik gmbar peristiwa tersebut untuk kenangan la (kononyen..hehehe)so apalagi mesti ade yg dah kuarkan camera hp. Kalo camera mcm sony ericsson 12mpx tu yg bole amik gmbar low light n high iso tu xpela..tp kalo xde?camne? sebagai contoh tadi mase aku g seminar, xtau pulak yg pasukan chelsea ade kat hotel tu. dan aku xbawakla camera serta equipment yg sepatutnye (mungkin jugak sebab keje n xterpikir nk amik gmbar chelsea).so kamera yg ade hanyelah kamera hp dan kamera kompak opis yg dah 2-3 taun..

camera kompak apelah yg bole diharapkan..setakt gmbar biase2 tu bole la..just bole la..

so ape yg membuat aku terpikir adalah cmane nk buat ni?dengan equipment yg limited, kawasan gelap (indoor), zoom yg membuatkan gmbar pecah, iso tinggi xle guna, ade cermin, jarak 50m dari pemain, xle pakai flash plak...hhhmmm...

tp xpe yg aku pk bole buat adalah test dan test dan test dan akhirnya terpikir tentang JUst Right LEvel...jeng jeng jeng...

Just Right knowledge,
Just Right timing AND
Just Right Moment.

Dan hasilnya seperti dibawah:


Taktik yg aku gunakan:
1-Gunakan flash dari org yg dekat dengan pemain chelsea.
2-Tunggu masa yg sesuai utk snap
3-Kenapa Anelka? sebab die pemain France(pasukan fav aku hehe) sebab die layan peminat baik punya, x sombong, sain byk2..yg lain2 sain mcm conteng2 pastu blah cepat...drogba lagi la..
4-Compo yg sesuai kerana nk dpatkan face nye.memg susah sebab sume pemain membelakangkan aku..huhu

Pada aku gmbar tu bukan lah yg terbaik, tp ok la...buat aku merakamkan scene ditempat kejadian n bukti aku dpt tgk anelka depan mata =) hehehehe..Kesimpulan kat sini knowledge tu penting. So kalo sape2 nk belajar fotografi bole la rujuk poster kat bwh ni:

Adat Merenjis dan Menepung Tawar

Pernah tengok orang merenjis dan tepung tawar dikala pengantin sedang bersanding?
Mesti korg pernah tengok kan..time2 pergi kenduri kawin sanak saudara sahabat taulan..mest ade punye la walau even pernah tgk skali ja..

Kebanyakannya aktiviti merenjis dan menepung tawar ni dilakukan oleh saudara terdekat or even adik beradik and parents pengantin tu sendiri. Tengah2 sibuk bersanding ade la annoucement panggil ayah pengantin atau ibu pengantin utk merenjis dan menepung tawar.hehe

Alat yg digunakan pulak adalah air mawar, tepung beras dan ade yg guna daun pandan dicampur pelbagai jenis bunga.

Kebanyakan orang main baling je ape yg ade kat dalam tu..renjis smpai basah pengantin..tp yg lagi best smpai masuk mulut pengantin pun ade..haha
tapi petua orang tua2 adalah: time merenjis ni korang bacala doa utk pasangan pengantin ni semoga berkekalan...

Gmbar kat bawah ni contoh tempat letak brg2 nk merenjis dan menepung tawar..gua xtau apa nama dia..haha
