Wedding @ Edgware

2009-11-12T15:13:00.000-08:00

A week ago,there was another wedding shoot in Edgware,north London.As always,everything was perfectly arranged from the deco to the scrumptious dinner ;)
Bride and groom looked stunning but since pics of the couple are strictly personal.I will only be posting up the details during the weddings...

Wedding @ Blondesbury

2009-10-07T12:35:00.001-07:00

A continuation post from my personal blog.Yeah,I'm just so lazy to make up another entry.I know that these photos are not that satisfactory cos I was using the on board flash and because the main photographer took most of the shots and the amazing shots are taken by her entirely (:

Check out her page and you'll get the drift!

p/s Gambar pengantin tidak boleh disiarkan cos I just realized yang dorang punya kepercayaan tidak boleh..

...and that's about for now (:

Morphsuits.com

2009-10-04T14:00:00.000-07:00

Today, I tagged along with Linawa.com for a photoshoot session at Hyde Park,London.It is for a group called Morphsuits which you can check it out HERE.It was an exciting experience to be a part of it and I've never seen anything like it.Amaaazing I tell ya.

A photo of me with the lads.

It's awesome isn't it?? Now wouldn't you like to see that hanging in your wardrobe? :D

Une Belle Vie

2009-08-30T06:16:00.001-07:00

...Which simply means " A Beautiful Life " in French :D

Today was indeed one of the best weather ever.It wasn't super hot instead it was a bit breezy and no rain was in sight.Lucky lucky us!Had a family gathering at Tanjung Aru and a lil bit of photo taking here and there.I loved the sunset.It was magical.I wished my camera had the Lapse Time feature so I could do some nice video's about the whole sunset aurora so you can observe the sunset formation..

Kids.

2009-08-18T09:59:00.000-07:00

I had a little gathering with the families at Tg Aru last Sunday.My uncle treated us with mouth watering barbecued chicken,pork,beef and lamb.It was heaven I tell ya.But the weather wasn't that pleasing though.It was drizzling and thus my plan for some sunset shoot were postponed.Still,the kids went out to play and took some lovely shots of them.
I miss being a kid (:

FREMANTLE & COTTESLOE BEACH, AUSTRALIA

2009-07-18T01:20:00.000-07:00

Last month I decided to book a ticket to Perth to send off my sister who will be pursuing her studies there.This trip would be my first since I have never stepped foot in Australia.I was there only for a quick visit of 4 days and I must say Perth especially the port city Fremantle & Cottesloe Beach took my breath away.Such an amazing country and city to visit since it's not as crowded as some city usually are such as London.
Nonetheless,Perth could just be your ultimate getaway in the future!I'm sure I will be coming back soon for more undiscovered experiences !

The breathtaking view from KING'S PARK.

Fremantle City.
A port city about 30 minutes drive from Perth.

A Methodist church with great tree silhouettes.

Despite having winter season in Perth,people were still swimming,diving and sunbathing as if it was SUMMER !!!!!!!!

Cottesloe Beach are one of the many beaches that seems to attract many tourist to come over the city for some fun water time.

Self-portraits

2009-07-04T04:06:00.000-07:00

Had a trip to Manukan Island today and decided that I wanted to post my pictures for some extra coverage for myself lol

I'll upload some of the beachy stuff in a while~

Desolate

2009-06-23T09:41:00.000-07:00

This particular photo was shot as we were trudging down the hill.I felt the colors and the structure echoes a cry of salvation.Definitely one of my favorite photos from the trip (:

Sunrise @ Bukit Tivung

2009-06-21T20:28:00.000-07:00

Whoa! The boys and I planned to catch the sunrise today as early as 4 in the morning ! We started hiking the Tivung Hill aka Bukit Tivung sometime around half past four and despite having only 3 hours of sleep I managed to reach the top without having to suffer from exhaustion since I had some hiking done the day before in Bukit Padang.It was pitch dark when we arrived at the foot of the hill and there were only 5 of us and one torch light to light our way.It was scary but then again it was soo tight gripping of not knowing whats in front of the way.About half an hour later,we reached the top and if it wasn't for me delaying the team we would have reached the top faster than that.Sunrise was glorious and the gusty winds were so refreshing.The rose pink light of dawn was worth every sweat~~ Hahaha

Below are random shots of the boys before going back down to have breakfast at 7am !!

And lastly,moi !

LINAWA.COM

Trafalgar Square & Big Ben

2009-05-27T07:24:00.000-07:00

Big Ben is the nickname of the great bell of the clock of the north eastern end of the Palace of Westminster in London.I got the chance to visit the tower yesterday.

At Trafalgar Square

Uxbridge Park

2009-05-24T01:19:00.000-07:00

About half past 6 yesterday,Ivy & I had a stroll around the park and took some photos and stuff and as we were walking and snapping a girl came to us and was like..

"Why are you talking photos?Are u a photographer?"

Wish I could say yes but I'm not hahahahahaha

DOUBT

2009-05-19T08:28:00.000-07:00

Perhaps I saw what I wanted to see in him
..and made him to be more than he was.

Duo Tone

2009-05-19T08:00:00.000-07:00

I was going for monochrome vibe for today's post.Weather was absurdly heating up on that shoot it almost made go berserk!Even so,I still preferred the hot climate than rainy seasons.Okay,I am out of topic lol

Introducing,Velarie J,17 years old.
She is a cousin of mine & she has appeared many on my photo shoots.The supposed look I was going for was initially a silent seductress slash femme fatale ish perhaps ?But obviously it was hard for her to channel that inner beast haha Nonetheless,I still got a shot.Well done I must say.

Boney & Bebeh

2009-05-04T06:08:00.000-07:00

Felix was missing in this shoot.I didn't know where he went.

Potraitures

2009-05-01T03:51:00.000-07:00

Today was Ashton's 4th birthday party so all the kids came to celebrate.Initially,I wanted to take the birthday boy's picture but I just can't keep get his attention at all.So the girls were more than happy to be snapped by me!

This are my two cousins,
Amanda & Meng Meng

Amanda's sister,
Cindy.She looks Korean,doesn't she?

Amanda
Sweet & innocent as always

Evyll- she is a born poser.
Very natural for an 8 year old hehe

Meng Meng

A familiar face?
Ally has been posing for me for some time now.She loves modelling (:

Sisters,
Dong Dong & Meng Meng

Sunset @ Kolopis

2009-04-27T04:50:00.000-07:00

The weather has been extremely hot and despite the fact that everyone hates it,I love to admit that the sun makes me happy.Especially when the sun sets,the sky just becomes glorious and breathtaking.Here I took a shot of the sunset just outside my room somewhat around half 6- all in an instant it felt as if the world turned orangeeeee (:

Cos you are the sun in my universe,
Consider the best when I felt the worse.

Wildlife Park at Lok Kawi

2009-04-01T04:37:00.000-07:00

I finally went and visited the Zoo located in Lok Kawi just about 15 minutes drive from my hometown.I was surprised to see the surrounding was much better than I expected.There were loads typed of animals though I could some animals weren't looking so happy as in not in proper care or proper maintanence.

Anyway,here are some of the pictures that I managed to take with my zoom lens.

Shots @ Beach

2009-04-01T03:58:00.000-07:00

I know it's been a while since I've been updating.I was really occupied with many other stuff to sort out.Anyway,I went to the beach in Tanjung Aru last week and here are just some pictures for you guys to view (:

The Bebez

2009-02-18T00:42:00.000-08:00

I call my three doggies The Bebez.Idk why but I think it just fits perfectly.
It was another beautiful evening yesterday.So I went and took some pics of my darlings.

I love this angle.Specifically becos I loved how the sun shined through.
It looks so calming ;))

My Boney.He has like loads of other nick's.Like Jijibon and Bebonita.
Oh,and he bites people ;)

My Bebeh.My brother named him Bj Penn.He actually came from nowhere about two years ago.
A miracle dog,so it seems..Bebeh is the noisest dog ever!

That tiger statue at the back.It's been almost 10 years now.It was originally wood brown color and all of a sudden I came out from the house and it turned GOLDEN like overnite.Haha.Dad spray painted it.

This is Felix.My brother named him after a local singer from AF.
But now we call him Lik,Yalik and he has some kind of latin name Jualik (YU-A-LIK)
Hahahaha =)

He's not moody.He has that bored face.Hey! Dogs have em too you know!

Hoping tommorow would be a better day!

ENIGMATIC

2009-02-16T03:30:00.000-08:00

"I never knew until that moment how bad it could hurt to lose something
..you never really had."

Sun set

2009-02-16T02:54:00.000-08:00

The weather today was so lovely.Especially towards the evening.It's been raining cats and dogs since earlier this year so it's good to see a change in the weather.
So I grabbed mum's point and shoot camera and started snapping.

These are very raaaaandooooom pictures.
Ahh..I love the sun!

oldies

2009-02-10T04:49:00.000-08:00

I just thought I'd post this photo although it's an oldie.I think I took this back in July 08'.
This is my sister by the way.
She also does her own little thing in her photoblog.

Angel on earth

2009-02-09T06:08:00.000-08:00

I did another shoot for my sister and her friend yesterday.The weather wasn't as shitty as usual.Thank you sunshine for shining!
They had angel wing's as props for the shoot.I find it really cute especially as Valentine's day is approaching.I did not do much editing tho'.I like it just the way it is.

Much Lovee...

Sandra Devie

2009-01-29T07:54:00.001-08:00

My friends came over today!
We had a mini party for Sandra who is welcoming the big ONE NINE this year.
She's turning 19 years old this 31st January so I wanted to shoot her in this very floral white dress we bought her.

I took these shots just before the sunsets..I had limited light so the flash was fired.

webcam + picnik

2009-01-12T04:02:00.000-08:00

Was messing around with the photo booth on my Mac today ;)
I seriously had nothing better to do.

I feel kinda thirteen again..

Will try to squeeze some more real pictures sooon ;)

Tanjung Aru,Kota Kinabalu

2008-12-29T20:52:00.000-08:00

Some candid shots were taken by my friends.
The day was without a cloud in the sky and thus the pictures all turned out great.
I didn't know my friends had natural photography artistry. Hehehe...
I'm impressed by how natural the shots were.
It was all very effortless,without even trying.

Audrey.
Carefree & happy as she is..

Raymond & I.
A great guy and a friend.

Pokok Ara.

No place like KK.Hehe

Steve.
Looking so serene..

I am currently uninspired..

2008-11-29T02:32:00.000-08:00

Today we celebrated my cousin's wedding in Church of Mary Immaculate,Bukit Padang.This is my first attempt in shooting wedding photographies.It may lack some X factors but these are still my best shots nevertheless.
I still do not have an external flash,hence the blurry outcome .
Anyway...the PHOTOS..

Aidan Vince

2008-11-24T21:36:00.000-08:00

I wanted to do test shots with Duplex filter from Nik Software.I'm starting to like this particular effect.It feels dreamy and it feels like a warm Sunday evening haha.The soft glow makes the whole photo looks subtle and the color looks subdued.

This is my little cousin Aidan,5 years old.

Photoshoots

2008-11-17T00:18:00.000-08:00

Mitchell & Awel came by today for a quick photoshoot.After taking almost 200 frames,I chose some to edit and this is the outcome.

In the back of beyond

2008-11-16T03:14:00.000-08:00

There were some old rusting steels and woods at the back of my uncle's house in Tuaran.
So I just took some photos,hoping I would turn them into a picture that brings a sense of isolation or being in the middle of nowhere .

Vintage effect

2008-11-15T01:33:00.001-08:00

I was google ing on how to achieve a good vintage effect yesterday.And i came across this blog which gives u a step by step instruction on how to get the desired effect.
Veerle's Blog

I think I can finally say that im not dumb in Photoshop actually! Hahahah!
I did some test shots and these are the outcomes ;)

Yesterday I took some shots with my dogs Boney,Felix & Bebeh.I used my kit zoom lens with it and the photos turned out so great in the end.I reckon maybe I had the perfect adjustments and the perfect light.Plus some wonderful dogs which I love so dearly.

These are UNEDITED pictures btw.
------------------------------------------

This was a tree trunk which was covered with greany leaves.
It was quite distant but I still managed to keep my hands steady and took a good photo of it.

This is soo unnecessary.

2008-10-20T09:17:00.000-07:00

Just wanted to post these edited photos from Picnik somewhere.

I just bought myself a new KEEP tripod that cost pretty cheap !
Only RM45 in Wisma Merdeka KK and stands for about 5 feet.
Can't wait to do some HDR lol

Haven't got the time to take pictures of it yet.Since I am busy preparing for a photo session for tonite's party!

Here's a pic from the web.

Random photos

2008-10-18T01:02:00.000-07:00

I was browsing through my iphoto and decided to post these unedited pics I took with my sister's Olympus E510 in Uxbridge.

I love the sun lighting here.Just hoped it wouldn't look so harsh in the photo.

Love the bokeh !

They have an apple tree at the backyard.This apple here fell so I took it as a prop for my photo.

DROG.I think thats what it said.lol

Shots on a rainy day..

2008-10-09T04:32:00.000-07:00

I took these shots with a Polarizer Filter.I know it works best on sunny days but I just wanted to see the effects on a rainy evening with less light.

Place : My house in Penampang,Kota Kinabalu
Time : 4.30 pm
Lens : Zuiko 14-42mm

Memories in London,England

2008-09-24T01:48:00.000-07:00

I was in London from June to September 2008.
During my 3 months stay,I visited and saw many places I never thought I would in this age.

These experiences literally opened my eye to a whole diferent world.
I never intended to come here in the first place.My emotions led me here.LOL
Fast forward to now,I miss it there.Some people would say that being away from their families would get them homesick.I wasnt homesick because I wasnt away from my family!I was with them all the time!

Here are some of the pictures that I didnt get to post earlier.
These are candid shots of the things I miss..
*cries*

Home Sweet Home

2008-09-19T04:59:00.000-07:00

Today's photo is about dogs,home and other stuff I can find at my house...like uh cars.

This is the view that I wake up to every single day.Kolopis Penampang.That's where my heart is.

A Bougainvillea shot outside my balcony.I never used to enjoy taking photos of flower until I knew how to really do it.Thanks to Scott Kelby.

I have no idea what this tree is called.You know the ones that looks like a pine tree-well not exactly a pine tree but it looks a bit similar just smaller.

Boney,Felix and Bebeh on a lazy friday evening..

They say having a beam in your house brings bad energy.I don't know but I think its just a superstition.

My two darlings.

Mum's car overlookin dad's car.

Awhh,it looks as if my Boney is smiling while smelling the mini Cactus pot.
