2008-11-23 Ying & William

Honestly i haven't blog about most of the weddings i took last year. I was busy with work and family. I will try to blog about hightlight of 2008 wedding pictures soon. For this year, I'll try to blog as much as i can.

Meanwhile here are few of the pictures from 11/23 wedding. William and I actually went to college together. He is a good friend of my suite mate. He is a really funny guy. Guess what, my suite mate turned out to be one of his grooms man.

Holiday is over

Holiday is finally over for me. It’s been very relaxing. I spent a lot of quality time with my family. I’ve been lazy on blogging. Now that I am back. I just like to share one of my favorite picture taken with Window Light. I took this yesterday with my D3 and 60mm micro lens. One thing I learned when photographing kids. It’s HARD. But having mom next to me helps get the baby’s attention.

Joe Mcnally & David Hobby

I found a couple of pictures that i took with Joe Mcnally and David Hobby at the PPE show couple of month ago. Please excuse the quality from my little point and shoot camera. They really have been an inspiration to me.

If you never been to David Hobby's www.strobist.com site, you have to check it out. I've learned so much about off camera lighting stuff from his site. As you can see i had Starbucks coffee in my hand. I had to be there early to attend the seminars. I needed my morning coffee to keep me awake.



















I love Joe Mcnally's work. He is the most versatile photographer i know. check out his blog at http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/ I read his awesome book "The Moment It Clicks" recently. It's totally worth reading it. Pick one up if you can. He shares the stories on how he shot the pictures and he even shares his equipments list at the end of the book. You can read either the story part or the technical part or both if you want.
He has a new book just came out. Be sure to check it out. The name is "The Hot Shoe Diaries"

Rev. Ng portrait

This photo was taken for UB church’s Christmas card on last Sunday. I have a lot of respect for Rev. Ng. He was the pastor of my wedding two and half years ago.

Closeup photos first try

I bought a micro lens recently and I was excited to tryout some food photography today. I went to a newly opened bakery store in flushing and got some French style desserts for the shoot. My task today was to make a small soft box from a cardboard box, then shoot my desserts with it. It’s not my first time making the box and it’s very easy to make. By the time I finish making the cardboard box, the dessert already started to melt. So it ended up in my stomach instead. I found a gift that was sitting on my shelf I can work with. I think the result was acceptable. I am going to give it another shot of the desserts photos tomorrow and hopefully I don’t eat them before taking the photos.

Ian & Jessica

We had so much fun from the photo session. I am so looking forward to shoot their wedding in next Jun.

Stan & Suki

Stan & Suki are very good friend of mine. I am honored to shoot their wedding next May. We took this a month ago. The day was actually pretty cold.
