Night Owls

30th Dec

Went around Ampang area with a few photogs friends, checking out good spots for us to shoot fireworks on NY Eve. I'm too old to be stuck in a 3 hours traffic jam and too stingy to pay $100 for a stinking beer in an overcrowded disco.



Learned a new trick....

Formula Drift 2009

19th Dec

Drifting is a high-skilled, high-powered motor sport where drivers intentionally maneuver their cars into well executed, controlled sideways slides at high speeds through a marked course. Originating from Japan and made popular by the Initial D anime, drifting is a guaranteed crowd pleaser, and is often compared to the freestyle nature of skateboarding and motocross.

This is the 1st time that this event is held in Malaysia and the location was the sprawling MAEPS complex in Serdang. Over 50 drivers competed over 2 the days to get to the top spot as they were judged on execution and style, rather than who finishes the course in the fastest time,

Gear used: Sony Alpha a700 + SAL70~300mm G

The battles were held in tandem; 2 drivers going head to head. The lead car needs to be able to run the course without error while being pressured by the following car. The following car is to try and “out drive” the lead car. In the event there is no clear majority, a “One More Time” will be granted, and the competitors will begin another 2-run head-to-head battle until a winner is declared..

Wedding assignment together with Studio Taffeta. Great learning experience for me especially in terms of co-ordination and coverage planning.

It was a tiring job as we had to arrive in Klang by 7am, finish off the ceremony by 2pm, rush to PP the pictures for slideshow and finally dinner coverage. But it was satisfying feeling when we saw the guests enjoying the slideshow that we came up with....

Attended a private show held at Prince Hotel KL. It was the graduation show for the students of Carven Academy plus it's 18th anniversary. Had a great time shooting with fellow Alpharian and also shared some nice jokes with other pros on duty.



Not my best effort I have to admit. Struggled to get the correct exposure and white balance during the entire event. The easy way out would be to blame the venue's lighting setup..... but I think I still need more practice..
