Studio Shoot - The First Ever Touch














When semester started, there is a subject called Digital Imaging. And required to work more on the studio shooting. Well, firstly sounds fun. But, it's not an easy job, firstly you have to know what kind of equipment you have to use in studio, secondly you have to know how to measuring using light metre for correct exposure , thirdly in studio, besides the place is quite small and limited unlike the outdoor, you need something good gear in studio, so I have purchased EF 70-200mm f/4L USM.
当学期已开始时,我们有一个科目,就是数码影像,所要做多的是在摄影棚里做功课。开始时,看起来很好玩的。但是,这不是一件容易的工作。第一,要知道和了解摄影棚里的器材,方能使用。第二,要如何运用测光器准确量出正确的曝光。第三,在摄影棚里,地方很小,不像户外那么宽,需要一些好的装备,我就选购了 EF 70-200mm f/4L USM.


The reason I purchased this lens is because it is a good portrait lens and also a good telephoto lens for medium range. Besides, since it is a "L" lens, the first production in Canon 70-200mm series, it is quite sharp and perfectly clear in image. Also, this lens also good for sports and birding too. It's really happy to own this.
买这个镜头的主要原因是因为它是个很好的人像镜头,而且是很好的中程变焦镜头。另外,除了因为它是“L”系列的镜头以外,这镜头也是佳能 70-200毫米变焦镜头系列中第一个推出的类型。而且照片很尖锐和清晰。此外,这个镜头本身在运动和鸟类拍摄都很适合。很开心能拥有此物。

Back to the topic, it's quite challenging in studio shooting, have to repeat and repeat the shot when we have make mistake. Also, we have to measure correctly or calculate the perfect exposure to the subject in order to make a good picture. A lot of subject that I've shot in this long journey of studio shooting.
回归正题,在摄影棚拍摄绝对是一件很有挑战性的事,当我们做错,需要不断地重复拍摄直到对为止。另外,我们也必须测量准确的曝光或计算对的曝光程度以产生出好的照片。这长时间的拍摄工作中也拍了不少作品。

Overall, teamwork have made us success all the way, besides in individual work , we have share the knowledge and help each other in producing good work. Although it is a very tough journey, I believed in photography world, nothing is impossible.
总的来说,团队工作是我们成功。至于个人作业,我们也互相交换意见和知识,互相帮助其他人一起合作完成任务。虽然是一个艰辛的旅程,我相信在摄影世界里,没有什么是不可能的。

Lolita Outing - Share of Japanese Culture










30 May 2009, this is after I go to shoot Rose Chin, the 2nd place I need to go , which is the lolita outing organized by the ORANGE , the organizer of the lolita outing. For your info, lolita outing is my first ever experience with the lolita fashion lover in KL , and I'm quite surprised with all the fashion that I love for the long time.
5月30日,Rose Chin的拍摄工作完成后,第二个地方要去的就是洛莉塔服装聚会,由ORANGE特别主办。告诉大家,这是我第一次和她们一起团聚在一起,而且感到非常的惊喜万分,因为这个时尚是我长久以来很喜欢的一个文化。

According the lolita lovers, there is 4 types : 1) Sweet Lolita , 2) Classical Lolita , 3) Country Lolita or Kaneko Lolita , 4) Gothic Lolita. These 4 types have different personality and feel too.
Also, Lolita IS NOT a COSPLAY . This is different thing from the fashion trend and cosplay definition.
根据洛丽塔时尚玩家的资料,共分4种:1)甜蜜型 2)古典型 3)田园风型 4)歌德式,这四种各有不同的风味和感觉。另外,洛丽塔时尚不能与角色扮演相提并论,因为定义是完全相反的。

That day may be use a lot of battery , so when shoot the last photo, the battery was die out , and quite disappointed too. Gladly, I'm able to shoot some photo for them, but not all, next time I will do more best since I'm keep on improved the skill although there is a lot of negative comments and statement have pounded for many times. Overall, it is a stunning outing that attracted a lot of attention during we walked at MidValley area, over hundred of peoples witnessed this massive group of the outing.
那一天,因为用太多电源的关系,当拍下最后一张照片时,电源已经没了,而且极度失望。但庆幸的是我还是能拍下一些珍贵的照片,虽不是很多,但是下次我会拍得更多,且我的技术一直不断地更新和进步,只是一直以来都受到很多负面的打击。总的来说,这是一个很出色的团聚活动,也吸引不少在谷中城的围观者的注意,超过百人以上亲眼见证了这个历史性庞大的团队。
