street lights...(fogged up my camera lens to get a more faded effect!)

creative flashes once again...cannot remember the flash settings..but i stuck to my regular 1/10 f.22...

did it without a tripod...so i used a 50mm at f1.8 to achive the fastest shutter..but with little deapth of field...

focused on the building's reflection on the river..then a boat came by to add effect!... porposely blurred the backgroud lights...

like sum superstar! :D

Jonker Street... tipical shot...

another tipical shot..hey look! its collin's vios!..

the lame fireworks shots begin from here...

the fireworks was lame.. but cannot blame that.. i need to practise on taking fireworks..not as easy as i tot...

REALLY MAN...NOT COOL...

this was before the fireworks.. we were waiting for the fireworks XD at the side of a highway...

so i snapped a few pics...to get trail lights of cars...

and again the fireworks.. lazy to compile and arrange properly... lol

somethings are just not meant to be =.= for example.. me taking pics of fireworks =.=

the finale BOOM...

THAT is a DSLR... :D

i duno why.. but when i took this from inside a car.. the flash made the pic look like its from sum movie....and mel and imran look like.. I DUNO U TELL ME!...

this is quite cool.. a normal pic... check the next pic...

there's a shooting star!.... no la.. its just a helicopter.. :D

creative flash? and lighting? yea rite

2008-08-31T10:10:00.000-07:00

less words, more talk.... based on the title.. get the point.. its an EXPERIMENT...

so i manually flashed with one hand again!.. this time im getting more accurate and take less time to get out a pic...

i had the flashgun under the glass table then fired it togather with the camera.. to get a reflection effect...

a basic panning technique...

with a 50mm lens, at f7.3, iso 200, i off-focused the image then slowly focus it, while panning the christmas lights then i off-focused it again...

Asian Service at college.....

2008-08-20T09:46:00.000-07:00

aits, so we had our asian buffet service.. it was .. okay.. quite boring.. too many servers and too little guest... a ratio of one server to two guest... i'm not posting the group pics of whatsoever.. just the fancy stuff that caught my eye...

our centrepiece, manually fired flash with one hand. using a shutter speed of 1/10 at f/11

so this was our table table layout and the setting...

the buffet line (main course & appitizer at the far left)

we even had a pond outside...with cute lil fishes! :D

yup, fired the manual flash on our centrepiece again... this time at f/22 to get a large depth of field at 1/5...my flashgun was set at a manual 35mm 1/1 flash setting..maybe i should have used the 14mm wideangle to get the whole work of art lighted up properly...

thats all folks..
