Check out the short video clip, it was filmed with Canon 5D Mark II and total of 3 lens – 70-200mm F2.8 Lens, 50mm and 17-40mm wide lens for the ending part.
One minute clip took us around 1.5 hours filming in the Gym room, spent 4-5 hours of editing and composed with background music, the final results just too superb!
First experience with 50mm on 5D Mark II, it just awesome!
Next video will be captured using 70-200mm II 
Me and my wife both have decided to go somewhere further and further this time, we went Hong Kong during June 2010. And 2011 we decided to be chilled in the cold. Best time will be June and nearest place will be Australia – Perth. Since we never been to Perth instead of going back to Melbourne again.
Booked flight tickets from MAS (Malaysia Airlines), well, although it was not cheap but worth for money!
So, how we’d planned for the 8 days 7 nights in Perth? It will be a long story to tell. I think I’ll stop here and continue later…or enjoy some photos!
Someone had recommended for a corporate shooting. Few portraits shot for their internal employees, purpose of the photos to be used for their corporate printing like Poster and PowerPoint presentation/PPT Cover.
Client had briefed me with specific photo’s brief and also gave sample of what their regional office has done. Things like photo position, background and photo dimension. The main points have highlighted was “…a natural setting. The photo should have a documentary feeling, not a studio photo. ”
Here’s some sample.
For PowerPoint cover, I should provide a wide background with the subject positioned far right.
Where would be the best place for the photo shooting? Either we choose office or warehouse. But again, to get the natural out of focus background, the depth of fields has to be more than 10m so that I could get more blur effects.
Planned to use flash Speedlite to bounce back the light, but due to the height of the warehouse it might be not a good idea. Furthermore, limited natural light is another concern.
Finally found some idea to give enough natural light to the portrait, I bought a piece of car sunshade, cardboard with alum foil and cost only RM18.90. It worked fine as a reflector.
Choice of lens, I was looking at the bigger Aperture such as F1.4 or F2.0. Before the actual day, I have ‘assigned’ my little girl as part-time model. By using my prime lens 135mm F2.0, without any flash, just hanged the reflector with both tripod at the site, and she was standing right middle of the reflector.
See Results:
On the actual day, I have brought 4 tripods, 3 for reflector, and one Manfrotto for my camera. I’d spent few minutes at the warehouse and tested out some shots before calling the ‘models’ (employees) to get ready. Looked for a good position and used masking tape to mark the standing spot. Once the setting has up, it was easily taken less than 10 minutes for each individual.
Follow by the brief given, to have the wide background and position the portrait on the far right. Only solution was to snap extra 2-3 blank with manual focus (Blur-mode) while moving camera parallel to the left. So that I could matched them and combined into one complete piece.
First shot on portrait with a reflector on the bottom. Yeah, some of them have to manually hold on to it
Moving on my camera with 2 to 3 shots to left side with same focus (set to Manual Focus).
After the RAW proceed, I’d used Adobe Photoshop to match them together easily.
More shots with the same setting. Click to see large version.
After upgraded my camera body 5D Mark II, didn’t expect to received any new business for wedding at that moment. Fortunately through my church’s member who has introduced Jimmy. A new groom who was getting married on 26 Dec 2010.
With my full frame body and good quality in high ISO with less noise. On wedding day I’d felt much more confidence when holding this incredible machine.
Well, during the whole shooting it was fun and great time with these new couples. Once again, thanks to Jimmy and Leng Shin given me this opportunity.

Come across this KLIMS – Kuala Lumpur International Motor shows (www.klims10.com) had over since December, and it was one of
the biggest event I’d been to in year 2010.
Thanks to Joe’s wife who are the main organizer (www.interexpo-my.com) for this event and managed to get a Press Pass. Not a free entrance tickets but a pass allowed you to zig-zag in the events which pretty fun and allow me to flexible moving around.
Well, KLIMS not just about cars (static model) but live models. Honestly, the last show I went was year 2006 and it was bigger and more things to see. I had predicted what is going on for this year and most of the cars were not my main target.
Bumble bee?
How about Bumble bee’s model? Ha, definitely the live models were much more interesting than the still models.
Obviously my aim for this trip, not for the cars… it’s all about the beautiful and elegant models that I wanted to captured for.

Batang Trip has become a yearly gathering for TMS and ex-TMSian but it was only available for guys (Batang means “stick“). This year we choose somewhere more interesting where this place named Sungai Lembing, it located opposite of Kuantan’s town; approximately another 30 mins once exit the toll.
Well, 3 interesting attractions we were looking for, “The Fall”, “The View” and “The Food”.
But to reach those 2 places, we had to scarify our sleeps and wake up before sunrise; took a lot of time and energy to reach to the point.
The Fall
Took 75mins on the off road truck. 1 hour of jungle hiking.
Well, I called it “Heavenly Fall”, it was the most beautiful and amazing waterfall I’d never seen in my life. Check out more photos from creadaq.com
The View
Another amazing attraction called Bukit Lembing or Panorama Hill. Above the hill, you will amaze with the view of a small little town below the cloud.
The Food
You got to taste the ordinary food from Sungai Lembing. Tomato source fried with local hand-made noodle.
A trip worth for money, it cost less than MYR200 for each person. Stayed at the guest house with 6 rooms only cost MYR700 for 2 nights. In small town, food is much cheaper. I think all the guys were satisfying with the entire trip.
Photos tell thousand words. More photos from creadaq.com
My friend has planned to be main distributor for this needle-free injection from Canada (MiT) (www.mitneedlefree.com) in Malaysia market. It was not a new technology but it was not common used in Asian market. The jet injection system provides less pain and delivered accurate in depth of human tissue and surface.
Alleron (www.alleron-my.com) is a new set-up company, and main core business for the needle-free product. Their target audiences are mainly beauty centre and clinical. Well, this equipment was considering new trend and I was excited to work on the booklet design; in addition, it also requested my input include of product photograph.
A success of promoting a product, we would have models to accomplish it. Since it was low budget project, the only thing I can think of was to find some suitable candidates for the shots, end up I managed to found one young model from my church.
After few selections and make the final choice of it. The picture was nicely position in booklet.
I have designed few concepts and using different patterns for the cover, due to the jet system in white colours and to contrast it, the background has to be dark and strong colors.
Here’s the final piece of booklet printed in matt lamination.
