Photo Outing - Amanda

-Passage of time-
Model: Amanda Morene
Location: Heritage Station Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
Finally i get to join the photo session with Amanda! Been waited for this session quite some time. <3
This was my second time photo shoot at Heritage Hotel KL, the first time is with the gorgeous Kat.
Since i already been to the shooting venue few months ago so i can roughly think of some idea what and how to shoot before the session start. Compare with the previous session there, bunches of clueless shots made me receive many critical critiques all over the forums…
Beside the adorable Amanda, secondary objective for this photo session is do the power testing with my latest weapon, The Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G. This lens is well known as one of the sharpest zoom made by Nikon. I really couldn’t believe the clarity and the sharpness, it is really that good. And not to mention the auto focus speed is lightning fast as well.
Alrite enough of craps, here are the photos.

Kinda late to post this out but just wanted to share. :p
Went to PC Fair early of the month at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and my objective for this? The PC Fair babes of course, i can always shop with good price at Lowyat plaza without all the hassle and squeeze inside the crowds of PC Fair.
But at the end i didn’t take babes photo as much as possible like how other people did, all i able to get is a chance to join lovely Avira babes Peggy Yong & Renee Hong for dinner. Thanks to my friend or else i wouldn’t have this precious moment. These photos are taken with my newly bought D700 and 50mm f1.8D, we’re sitting beside the blue & reddish light of the restaurant and i tried hard to adjust it back with Aperture2 so yeah.. I post processed most of my photos. :p
p/s: The Fujifilm Instax “Cheki” photos are taken by a friend of mine.

Photo Outing - Shelwin
Posted by Hong | Under Photography 摄影
Joined a group photo shoot at Bukit Jalil Park that organized by Brandon from myphotocity.com.
I am very lucky that my group’s model is the pretty girl, Shelwin. She is experienced and able to give good poses and expression. I shoot the whole session with my new D700 and 70-300mm VR, luckily overall Nikon has kept the settings and buttons layout pretty similar with my previous D90 so not much of problem when using the new camera.
With a good model, great camera and nice location but i guess i still couldn’t deliver better photographs.
Here are the result from photo shoot, feel free to comment and critique my work.

Photo Outing - Kat
Posted by Hong | Under Photography 摄影
Photo shoot with the model, Kat. The location is Heritage hotel at KTM Station, Kuala Lumpur.
This is my first outdoor fashion photo shoot with model, kinda challenging in my opinion.
Why? Because it’s not only point the camera to model, compose half body or face of the model. I have to take consideration of the surroundings, the building or even the sky and clouds. It really need to take some effort to look around and think what and how to shoot. And i did some experiment with my 2 lenses in this session, the Tamro 17-50mm f2.8 and Nikkor 50mm f1.8. Before this i never know the subject isolation is much greater with the 50mm prime, and bokeh are so much better as well. From now on i’ll never feel hesitate to switch lens whenever the 50mm is usable.
Beside taking outdoor, me and the fellows also walk inside the hotel and took some shots.
This place is good place for photographs, many wedding photos are taken there and you also can find lots of people with DSLR walking around there.
Here are the shots i managed to get, enjoy and give me your comments or critiques that you think i need to improve on next session.

Photo Outing - Elizabelle
Posted by Hong | Under Photography 摄影
Continue from the previous post, Elizabelle is my second model of photo shooting.
She is a girl that really give and voice out her comments on my photographs, discuss what kind of shot she wanted to approach. She likes to try with bigger poses which bring out the beauty in images but i guess i failed to achieve what she want. 
But also thanks to her, i learned that the communication between photographer and model are really important. I need more practise!!
