D2X

An acquisition had been done for my 1st pro-model. With photography as my undying burning passion, this has to be the best thing I can get for myself this year.

It's late into the night, so a quick runthrough was done with thoses lenses I have, before wrapping up the end of the week.

The weekend had been most exciting once I wield that camera in my hands and start to make great pictures.

Well, not enough time for me to run through some books I've been on for the past week, but I'll catch them up tonight. Hopefully, more coverage.

Equipments

Been awhile since I did some equipment shopping.

I had been thinking if picking up an older version like the D2X would be a good choice since it's one of those faster models in their array. An ad for a preowned D3S was priced closed to a new set, and that definitely isn't worth considering.

Had discussed with Allen and those single digiter models are the pro series as compared to 3-digiters of semipro series; altogether a different adversary.

At this time, I'm not a publisher yet so it's not time to command a 'studio range pro model'
This morning's mind is especially clear no doubt the rest yesterday was not as full. I had done 6 hours which is still pretty within my normal range.

Networking

wow!

Seems like it's been awhile since I last wrote here....

The past few days had been just busy; busy with post productions, networking with photographers.  It's really great to know a couple of them like Katelyn James; she not just makes great photos, she is gorgeous in person!  Someone I would like to meet up, network and hopefully collaborate with some day.

Seems like the season for weddings in Singapore is more packed towards end of the year, so I have 3 weddings to be done within 2 months.  And I'm just simply excited!

I'm almost quite done with this bulk of my PP; so keep those events coming in!

Where the fatigue slips in...

Today's definitley one of those pretty mentally challenging days.  I had actually dozed off a couple of times while doing my post productions.

Things certainly aren't as easy when you are running solo.  Basically, I do EVERYTHING; from talking to people, proposing, shooting, post production.  It does gets mentally and physically challenging, and I'm loving it.

Well I have to be turning in for a quick snooze; just to be fresher to complete the rest of my works.

STGCC 2011@Suntec

It's been awhile since I attended these events to shoot. Finally done with it, almost 4 hours in the run along with Leonard. A good and quiet meal before we moved off.

The key to shooting effectively at such events are speed and precision. Having a tele lens definitely helps to get that upclose shots when faced with a multitude of shooters.

Looks like it'll be a good time for PP since there's no further events for the evening.

Finetuning

The past couple of nights had been some fine tuning in my specialty.

What I need to do is to shoot, refine, reshoot and keep it going till quality reaches there. No doubt the photos taken now are better than how it was a year ago, it is still a build up process over time.

I have not written here for some time as the days had been packed with events; indoor shoots, backstage shoots and so on, and so forth.

Recognition is slowly being gained in modelling portals so that's one good sign for all the works I have put in.

No matter how tough the going gets or positive development gets, I still want to thank the Almighty One who has given me this gift - the ability to make great pictures.
