Eric & Ai Wa Wedding Ceremony


Eric & Ai Wa
Eric, my friend and two-time ex-colleague got married last month, and I was honoured to be the main photographer to cover his wedding. Out of the typical Chinese wedding, here's some shots that I like.


Hair
This was taken when Eric help Ai Wa remove her hair pins. This shot feels more natural than those taken during the makeup session, as the bride is in a more relaxed state.


Ready
This shot was taken when the bride just finished with her makeup. With the chair behind the bride, which she has sat for about 2 hours for the makeup.


Holding Gown
Grabbing the gown as she walks around, this shot indicates that the bride is ready with her makeup and are walking about.


Bride's maid gathering
This shot taken through the house entrance to the living room, the sisters are having a discussion on how to tackle the groom and the brothers when they arrive later.


Agreed
Happy with the negotiations, one sister shows me the "contract" agreed by Eric, signed with his kiss, as the other sisters opens the front gate and let Eric and the brothers in.


Exercise
Brothers have to sing the song "A whole new world" while working on the push ups.


Joy
Ai Wa, looking joyous as Eric unveils her in her room.


Mother's attention
Ai Wa's mother helping her to wear a necklace, as the bride's maid help lifting the veil.


Seat belts for safety
As Malaysia enforce the rear seat belts rule (finally), the couple adhere to the law , and pose for this shot.


Happy
Both couple cracking together on a joke, while giving ang pows to younger relatives.


Unwind 3
Final shot of the day, with the couple wearing the matching indoor slippers.

About

I remember my first experience of using a SLR was about 10+ years ago. My father own a Nikon F3 with a Nikkor 24mm f2.8 prime, and a push-pull zoom-Nikkor 35-105mm. With his permission, I took the small dry box containing the gears from him and started playing with it photography. Still a student then, I learned about photography through the F3 manual, and seek advice from some of my friends who were also into photography. Taking photo is the best way to learn, but I do not have the luxury of experimenting too much since film isn't cheap, and developing a 36-shot row would cost around RM30 (I think) for 3R prints, not to mention not all shots are good. Eventually, I stopped due to cost, and my studies. I was reintroduced back into photography about 3 years ago through a colleague. He also came from the film era, and were still shooting with his fully manual Nikon FM2 before getting his first DSLR, Nikon D70. While working on a project in Singapore, I bought my first DSLR, Nikon D70...

gps4cam: Geotagging with your iPhone

Image
Back when I was very active in photography, geo tagging photos was a very new concept. The idea of is to embed the longitude and latitude position into the metadata of the photos, so that you can lookup where the photo were taken. It is kind of cool as software and services begin to appear which allow viewing your photos by location on a map, instead of by albums which you organize by yourself. There were about 3 methods that I know to tag the photos. Manual Tagging As the name implies, tagging is done by using a software that brings up a map interface (typically relied on Google maps)for you to pin point the location where you taken those photos. This is done only at then end of the post processing workflow. One manual tagging method that I used before is from Flickr. Though workable, its a labour intensive method, not to mention you will need to have good memory if you were back from a long trip with thousands of photos to tag. Nevertheless, this was the most economic method befo...

LX5 vs LX3 mini comparison

Image
Positive points I have read from the Internet so far is that the LX5 has better Dynamic Range and better noise control. But I have yet see any convincing sample that back those statements. So happen my colleague just bought the LX5, and I manage to borrow it for a while to perform some quick comparison with Adobe Lightroom 3.2 Trial. A caveat to note: the LX5 now has an optional tiny UV filter, which fit nicely on the lens barrel (very neat!). So the shots taken with the LX5 has a UV filter, while my LX3 doesn't. The Scene I placed the camera on top of a printer, focused on my colleague, recomposed and shoot. I try to have both camera shooting the exact same scene. Camera settings for both cameras: • Manual mode • ISO 100 • 1/320s • F2.0 Result LX5 LX3 Observation • It seems like the new LX5 have slightly wider field of view, just very slightly. Maybe it's due to the in-camera distortion correction algorithm? Anyhow, it's a ver...
