i like the effort Syifa’s fan took to support her

Shawn Lee He represented Malaysia in the Beatbox Battle World Championship 2009 in Germany and won the 9th place. He is so good that I wonder what does no. 1 sound like?

The final moment…

Nalinder’s shocking reaction when her name was announced as the winner for the 8TV Maybelline New York Simply Fabulous contest.

10 contestants 1 winner. too bad for the other.

For those who have no idea what the contest is about, check out http://www.8tv.com.my/simplyfabulous/

I was invited by my colleague, Nalinder, to attend the Grand Finale of the Maybelline Simply Fabulous event at Euphoria, MOS in Sunway. So glad that I was there to take pictures for this event especially when she won RM50,000 grand prize! Congrats Nalin!

This is my first time attending a TV pre-recorded event. I really like the ambience. I think 8TV did a very good job coming up with this concept.

This event was hosted by uprising host Henry Golding & Sarah Lian

Here are the judges. Just know the lady 2nd from left - Sazzy Falak

Anxious contestants waiting backstage.

Just want to share some pictures taken during our team outing that was held in August. The trip was a memorable one and full of laughter. Thank God for the perfect weather, Caryn (my lovely wife) for being my best company always, George for the awesome BBQ pork, and Li Ean for your excellent scavenger hunt clues!

You will notice a few photo that looks like HDR but they are not really because I didn’t use any HDR techniques to process them. All I did was just some slider adjustment in Lightroom and the finished product reminds of of Dave Hill. Yes, I think they are more like Dave Hill style. I recommend you check out his website if you haven’t seen his photos.

Looking up the sky.

i quite like the landscape framing too.

mini me trademark!

The legendary Glenfiddich and friends. but the taste of 12 yrs old glenfiddich is quite disappointing compared to the 15 yrs.

Joining hands to build a better world. kidding. We were just playing the ‘kam min toi’ (cover blanket) game. taken by Xi Ming.

group portrait at Batu Dam, Ulu Yam.

Great team deserves another portrait.

I only took a few scenery shots as everybody was rushing to go home. This is one of my favourite.

2 weeks ago I attended a corporate meeting where someone would give a presentation, whether you like it or not.  The content was great so don’t get me wrong.  I brought my camera gear that day so I decided to take a few pics of the enthusiastic speaker. But the ambience was pretty dark and the place has a low ceiling. Mounting my Sony F58 flash on my camera and shoot direct would be too harsh on my subject. Bounce the flash up on low ceiling won’t spread the light evenly. He was standing right in between 2 pillars so I clipped one flash with Justin clamp on each side, facing the speaker and started shooting. Kinda enjoying myself. Now call me the self-appointed unofficial corporate event photographer, in strobist style!

My good friend, Adrian who is also a keen photographer, took this to try out my setup.

No fancy lighting but i like the mini spotlight. The 2 gentlemen in this picture are Johnny and George. Both are my good friends too.
