Clik Elite series backpack

Just came across this backpack which will cater to my needs when I go adventuring with my digital sniper:

They feature Elite series, which has compartments made for camera accessories, as well as a separate compartment for basic necessities like clothes, camping equipment etc.

This will be a great investment so that I can travel far with proper equipping - Uprise 48 wasn't really made for backpacking as it doesn't have room to keep my basic necessities.  In Singapore, so far, what I can source is from Manda Photo which is within walking distance from my workplace; but not going to see to day as it's dearie's birthday.

Tomorrow, probably?

PP after Melaka backpacking

Finally completed the series of my photos taken at Melaka's backpacking; it was a memorable trip I had been the most independent during the trip; and being able to capture photos of the place at my own pace, without any interruption.

Some pictures appear overexposed under the extremely scorching sun; more practise needed?  The best I could do to correct them is via PS, which has tools to fix these flaws.

A PP accompanied evening

Sleepless night.

I decided to start off redoing an event photo that had previously been done under the noobiest settings; poor colore management and presentation.

It was all done in a couple of hours, after a brief browse and deciding on which to start.

Dearie's dad' birthday celebration 2010.

At least now, have yet another of the portfolio of a birthday event to present on my website. Flash-based still in the making.  Looking at those joyous moments does bring joy to me, especially those who are close to my heart.

Again, some people say, a photographer needn't be emotional, but these are people close to my heart; therefore, 'emotional' does not apply here.

Baby's 1st birthday and flash photography

What did not tun out to me turned out to be actual; I became baby Amanda's 1st birthday's event photographer for the afternoon; there was a huge group of guests so I managed to capture the moments of her cutting the cake, birthday songs and group photos.

Next destination, Fort Canning.

The weather had been hot but we managed to do some practises with flash photography, courtesy of our unofficial "master", Allen.  Bounce flash had been improvised with a reflective interior of umbrella and the effects are amazingly good.

We had a little chatup after the shoot and learnt from Allen about the lost groups, which were unspoken in the news for those who ventured Mt Kinabalu, East Malaysia, which is also where he lived.  The place sounds pretty attractive as a guide needed to be booked 6 months prior to commencement of trip.

Some photo reviews on the event which I need to touch up on the bounce card on my SB-900 - Allen had given me his card ever since he lost his Fuji dSLR.

Today's photoshoot might be more focused on heartland, since the hours are not sufficient for a full day shoot.

While waiting for my car to be ready, this is a good time for me to set my mind thinking about where I should go for these "short shoots".  The town that I had went by this morning seem to be a good place; just that I didn't want to stay too long there as that was not the primary purpose, no doubt in the vicinity.

Guess my full day shoot shall be left till tomorrow instead.

Coming to think about it, it has been coming to a year, but my exposure through the shutter had been something which is far more than many aspiring photographers out there.  While quantity are there, the more important thing will be quanlity.

From the feedbacks from most friends, they have given positive and encouraging comments which continues to spur me on to take greater pictures. PPwise, there's also alot more to learn to harnes the

Campaign shots

Another corporate event where my photoshoot skills will be utilised.

Marketing team is doing some outdoor campaigns and require someone to take some photos of the occurence.  The good news is, they have hired a crew of pretty ladies to do the distribution, so my reply was "ain't I so lucky" to R...

Time to do some readups before the real thing.

2 projects completion

FInally finished processing photos of both events slightly after dinner. The body is feeling some discomfort after the prolonged illness since Thursday.  Could it be the bad air, or just manisfestation of germs when sleeping in airconditioned room with dearie, who was also unwell?

Or could it be the bites from mosquitoes at the dilapidated bungalow shoot?  I certainly hope it isn't the last option.

I have to rest early tonight since I have to work tomorrow; hopefully, will be just perfect when I awake tomorrow.
