I had the opportunity to shoot with Yim Xin last Saturday, who I probably last met 12 years ago back in Primary School, and who runs his own little outfit now! Was quite interesting to catch up with him and pick up some tips from someone who definitely has more experience shooting weddings!
Anyway, just thought I’d post up a couple of preview shots with quick touch-ups from the shoot, before I get bogged down again by the usual (and alot less interesting) schedule of mugging and chionging projects.
A very happy couple. =)
“With this ring, I take thee to be my lawfully wedded wife.”
Though on hindsight, think I didn’t perform optimally this shoot, was really just too tired most of the day after having had a very draining week at school and very little sleep. Oh well, till the next time!

Well, haven’t had the opportunity to update much, being busy with all the deadlines (school) and all. But shall post a little something, today being Valentine’s Day, and also Sean and Rachel’s Wedding Day!
First off, I think guys should really get to get married on this day, because it reduces the number of important dates one would need to remember! And we all know how bad guys are with dates (wedding anniversary lar, vday lar, wife’s birthday lar, etc lar).
But anyway, I’m really thankful for having the opportunity to be part of their big day, and I wish them the very best!
Meanwhile, one preview of the photos taken today, before I get swarmed with deadlines and don’t update regularly again hehe.
Just love the overall expression of everybody here, from the bride herself, to the sisters.. fighting with the brothers for the bouquet!
Happy Valentine’s Day all!

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
1. At the point of writing, 4 people have tagged me, Eddie, Shiyao, Van and Ryan. I briefly pondered the possibility of 25 individuals having tagged me prior to me completing this exercise, and so by the rules of the thingamajig I merely have to tag them back, thus conserving brain juice. But anyway, boredom got to me before the counter hit 25.

Thought I’d share a few photos I took a couple of Saturdays with you folks.
I wasn’t really planning to shoot that day, merely having brought my 50mm f/1.8 attached to my camera body for testing the wireless flash triggers I was collecting that afternoon.
Turned out that with the most basic of Canon lenses, I managed to shoot one of my best sets of photos ever! Bearing in mind that this is a sub $100 lens, I present to you, Esplanade. Also not much editing has been done, aside from slight tweaking of colours and contrast.
My fave of the day, I love how the lighting is so moody, and the contrast of light on the metallic spikes of the Esplanade rooftop, backed by some nice parting clouds in the sky!
A better view of the spikes, and the sharp lighting cutting right across the spikes.
A clearer patch of sky, for a nicer bluey background.
Turns out one doesn’t really need a fridge to freeze water.
Feels very zen-nish. On hindsight, I should have cleared the lower pebbles for more impact.
Assymetry in symmetry; symmtetry in geometry, asymmetry in lighting.
