2012-02-16T21:16:00.000+08:00

LB and I had went for our annual trip to Taiwan during the end of 2011. Just to give ourself a break and recharge after a whole year of hard works. :) Anyway, We have arrived pretty late in Taipei on the first day and then headed out to the 师大夜市 (Shi Da Night Market) at that evening and then headed back to rest and get ourself ready for the early train ride on the next day... ;)

More photos after the jump...

We depart early the next morning to the 宜兰罗东 via train. We do hang around at the railway station for a while in the Taipei railway while waiting for the train to arrive. Seriously quite a magnificent and hugh station in deed. :)

We arrived at 宜兰罗东 and check into the hostel that we stayed in. A very very nice hostel in deed and it got the european feel in it. :) I love the feeling at 罗东 somehow. A very village kind of feel and all the friendly people and neighborhood there. Me and LB has went out for our bicycle session and feel the breeze beside the lake. Anyway, it started to rain after that. Stay in the room for a rest and went out again for another round of cycling session. :) It has been a very great one actually. Just love the feeling when I am there. Anyway, here we go... just some photos taken during day 1 and 2. ;)

Anyway, this is just the first 2 days of the Taiwan trip. I will try to get more up really soon. (So Lilian stay tune ya... more to come really soon) ;) Hope that you all have enjoy these small series so far. Enjoy and have a great evening ahead. Signing off... ;)

And Qian Han, has been growing up so fast as well and now she already know how to walk! Time flies... time do really flies... On top of that, we do have a chance to go and walk around Pavilion when they have a display of some art bears... (They have a name for it and I already forget what it is... darn me). Anyway, a small series for a short stay in KL. Enjoy. ;)

2012-02-07T22:39:00.000+08:00

Culture, Festive, People collided in one day and what we got is a tremendous crowded temple fair (it is call 廟會 in Chinese)! :) This is my first time attending this type of fair. And I believe that it is specially organize during the Spring Festive but I bet this fair has been added more colors, dimensions, performances (and of course foods! how could we forget that right) to add more spices to the whole event. ;)

More photo after the jump...

Anyway a small series for Penang temple fair for 2012. It is so crowd that it is so hard to move around (and of course not to mentioned about taking photos). So I just took as the feeling is right and of course enjoy the atmosphere (and foods) in the fair. :")

Anyway a long weekend has ended. Been wondering around in KL with LB's family and friends before the festive season ended. And it has been a great one to see everyone again. Anyway, a new week started tomorrow. I bet there will be a lot to catch up. I will stop and rest for now (after has been driving for half day today). Have a great night everyone. Signing off...

Chinese New Year 2012 －福到

2012-01-30T21:31:00.000+08:00

I have been heading back to my hometown for my Chinese New Year celebration this year (Seems like I have been heading back to Alor Setar every year for that though, but again, I feel good about that somehow). I am glad that I manage to have some gathering with my (And LB) family during this festive season and of course meeting with all the little monsters for some fun and photo shoot time. :"D

More photos after the jump...

The fun part is that I manage to bribe them for some photo shoot (as the driver for the swing):"D and manage to try out the hypersync feature on the Pocket Wizard for that purpose. Still need a few more rounds(S..S..) to fully master it. :) (I will see how it goes then). and of course manage to meet up with a few of my secondary school mates for some chit chat session. (Is always great to do some catch up and get updates from them). :) Anyway, here are a small series of the portrait taken during the Chinese New Year. :)

No matter what, I feel great that I got to spend sometimes with the kids, playing (or fooling...:"P) around with them and get to share some of the childhood experience that I have with them (like paper plane and play "hide the shoes" game). And of course a small gather session with long lost secondary school friends is a fun one as well. Finally, a healthier life as a new year resolution for 2012. Hopefully everyone will have a healthy and prosperous year ahead... HUAT arr!! :"D

Looking forward for the next Chinese New Year! And hope that you all have enjoy this small series. Have a great evening ahead. Signing off... :")

Danbo - Happy Chinese New Year 2012

Time pass by so fast (I bet nobody will said that time is passing by slowly - darn me) and it is that time of the year again, it is Chinese New Year (CNY)!! :D Yup, just 3 more days and it is the biggest festive celebration for the Chinese again. Can't wait for the family and friend reunion during the Chinese New Year. (And also all the great food - Guess I will gain a few KG(s) after CNY). :"P I bet it will be a great one.

More photos after the jump...

I have been busy for the last few weeks and most importantly getting myself realign and get use to the "actual" lifestyle again after I have been hiding myself at Taiwan(I mean traveling here...) :"P. And due to Chinese New Year, it is the time to do spring cleaning again... keeping the house bits by bits and location by location. I am glad that I manage to get things done yesterday so that I still got sometimes to do some shoot with the new trigger (Yes finally a Pocket Wizard (PW) Mini for Nikon). Still need sometimes to get used to it though. But the reliability is superb. So far there is not much of miss firing that I have faced compare to my previous trigger that I am using. Hopefully I will get used to it really soon. :) And Lilian, I will try to get more Taiwan photos posted up really soon. So stay tune... ;")

Anyway, a short post actually, no BTS shoot for today, since I have tested multiple feature for the PW (which included the TTL or manual). Just would like to wish you all a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! May the Year of the Water Dragon bring you great luck and a prosperous Year. Cheers and HUAT arr! :)

USA at November 2011

2012-01-09T22:06:00.000+08:00

It has been a very long time that I didn't post any blog post here. (I apologize on that, it has been an extremely busy end of the year). Traveling around the world and get my life busy wondering in all different cities. Guess I have only stay in the Penang for only 1 week for the whole December 2011. That's why you all didn't see much update here. :")

More photos after the jump...

Anyway, I am at the states for like 2 weeks at the end of November. Visited a few places and manage to revisit San Francisco again. (Which is a good thing eventually since I love that city so much - the weather especially). Walking around the cities and do some street photography. It is pretty cool actually where it has been a while that I didn't stayed on the street. Glad that I got to do it again in a different city. Anyway, I also visited Folsom and Oregon. Too bad life is too pack to go out where the day almost ended at 8pm everyday. So not much photos from there. Anyway here we go, a small series for my visit to the states. Enjoy. ;)

Some final thought, I am glad that I got to return there again. Seeing some friends, doing some small gathering and do some catch up. Thanks to Fern (Do check out Fern blog, she is a very talented wedding photographer at Bay Area ;)) for the meet up at San Frans. And to Bob, Jane and Roger for the hospitality while I am in Folsom. I am glad that I got to meet you all again. (And I know that I am going to miss you all until we meet again). Too bad that I didn't manage to visit Arizona. If not probably I could meet up with Herb (His wife and baby) and the rest there for some catch up as well. :) Hope that I will be able to set my foot back in state again. Have a great night people. Signing off... ;)

Khy Lynn + Soon Tat Penang Wedding Dinner

2011-10-09T21:39:00.001+08:00

The Wedding Dinner for Soon Tat and Khy Lynn in Penang. Lynn and Soon Tat have been at the venue very early, arranging everything to ensure that everything goes as planned. Doing a quick rehearsal before the event and then going up to their hotel room to dress and getting ready for their wedding dinner.

More photos after the jump...

I think Soon Tat has kept Lynn a surprise where he is going to sing her a song during the dinner (Even though he kept telling her that he want a duet). But I think Lynn is very shocked and touched when she saw her guitar handed over to Soon Tat and then Soon Tat sang the love song deeply to Lynn. Even the band has cooperatively become the backup singer for Soon Tat that time. What a moment. :)

I think the highlight of the night somehow is the "Yam Seng" session on each of the table (specially when they reach their friend table). Mixture of merry and happy emotions there. And Soon Tat is so sporting during those session where he is willing to entertain whoever challenge him for a drinking session. :")

I think it is a very nice, simple and warmth one where friends from all over the WORLD is here to give their best wishes to them and the bond of the friendship is very close indeed. I am very glad that I manage to make a few new friends that night and I really enjoy the whole wedding dinner very much. Congratulation Soon Tat and Lynn.

I think that's all for these evening, I will call it a night and continue with my photo processing now. (Yes more wedding blog post coming up really soon, so stay tune) ;) Have a great Sunday night everyone. Signing off...

Revoltech Iron Man Mark VI

2011-09-13T21:29:00.000+08:00

Guess I miss the weekend post. But it has been a great weekend so far where I finally attended another concert that is held in Penang performed by 2 singers from Taiwan （黃小琥 and 萧煌奇). I have been very impressed with their voice when I heard it on the TV show, but listen it live. the voice is just extraordinary. The voice control from both singer are just awesome. (But I still preferred the voice from the lady singer though) :"D

More photos after the jump...
Anyway, I didn't bring any gears there. (Since the ticket mentioned that no professional photography gear), so I decided to let my gear rest and just enjoy the concert to the fullest. Even though I have tried pretty hard to get a photo pass to this event. But seems like it is still very hard to get one. (Guess I will need to try harder to get a photo pass to the concert). :") Will see how it goes for the next one. Anyway today photos are not related to what I have narrated on the top. Photos of the day is actually the Iron Man Mark VI from the Iron Man 2 movie. Iron Man has always be one of my favorite super hero in the movie. Probably is due to it's hot red and gold iron armor that he is wearing there. ;) This is actually a product of Revoltech sci-fi series - Always love the small miniature that is produce by Revoltech. Small, simple and yet detail. For Revoltech fans, do watch out for their up coming Optimus Prime and War Machine as well... Bet those two will be another exciting lineup from Revoltech. ;) Anyway here we go, a small series for Iron Man Mark VI. ;)

For the setup geeks, it is a 2 lights setup. The main light is a diffused SB800 in 1/4 CTO in a soft box on the right and a another gridded SB900 in full CTO on the right. (I apologize that I forget to shoot the BTS shoot again this round) :")

Anyway, It is going to be a very pack and busy 2 weeks ahead. Hope that I will still have sometimes to post some photos up to share with you all. No matter what, I hope that you all will have a great week ahead. Have a great one! Signing off... ;)

A Visit to Penang Toy Museum

2011-09-06T22:05:00.000+08:00

It feels kinda weird that LB purpose to go to the Penang Toy Museum last weekend. I kinda know about this place. Just that I never been there before (Even though I have been in PG for so many years). Personally I think that the place is not worth a visit since I think it will not have much thingie that I will wanna see there (Yeah kinda think that what type of collection they will have in such a small place). Anyway since I never been there, we decided to pay there a visit.

More photos after the jump...

And surprisingly. There are quite a collection there! all type of toys, version and generations! And also they do also have some quite bigger size figures from movie (Where it do really grab my attention).

I love specially the horror section, it gives me a creepy feel somehow in that area. Specially when you look at all those familiar characters that you have seen in all the horror movie. and seems like everyone is staring at you. :"P

Anyway, it is an eye opener for me after the visit to the Penang Toy Museum. Just on a slightly down side is that, the museum is not really well maintain and the case that store the toys (or collections) is just a very small piece of plastic which cannot really secure the weight of the adults. (So, do be careful not to lean towards the cupboard). Some of the toys have not been nicely arrange, so probably the owner should take some time out to rearrange the toys as well. If not the hugh collection in there do really worth it for those who like toys and figure (Someone like me).

Anyway, it is a small series for this visit. For those who are interested. The entrance fee for the museum is RM10 for Malaysian and it is open from 8AM - 9PM everyday. I guess that's all for tonight. I hope that you all will enjoy this series have a great night ahead. Signing off... ;)

Feel like a Rock Star

2011-08-26T21:55:00.000+08:00

This has been a planned event for quite a while where we have been endlessly searching for a properly xbox 360 wireless guitar controller so that we could hook up 2 guitars together to play the Guitar Hero 3: Legend of Rock in the cooperative mode. (I think the wireless controller is running out of stock somehow) and I have been looking around to find it. And after 1 month plus of endless search, Finally, we manage to find 2 guitars for this event! Woo Hoo... >:D

More photos after the jump...

I bet it will be one enjoyable event since everybody has been like looking forward for it for quite sometimes. We have created some fake (And lousy) rock hair as well so that the player could wear it when they are playing the game. x"P So, I decide to bring my gears along, setup and get some shoot for the rest of the team members here. :) And here we go, a small and fun series for everyone. :)

Anyway, the last one is a special one. Where we decided to come out with something more dramatic one as usual, trying to get some Guitar Hero advertisement poster feel here. A 2 lights setup, one main light in soft box with 1/2 CTO and another bare flash in blue gel at the back of the subject. Here we go... Our Guitar Hero (in Large).

Finally, I would like to thanks the rest of the gang for being my model as well as my voice activated light stand (VAL) just to make the whole shoot out a smooth one. :) Special thanks to Kee Woon for being so sporting on the modeling (I think he has entered the wrong field somehow, he is really good in giving the feel I want, oh ya and Shin Yee as well - Thanks to both of you). and Chian Le for being my VAL. Thanks to all of you. Hope that our small little project can go on, so that we can have our final product really soon. ;)

That's all I have for tonight. A long holiday is approaching. I hope that everyone will have a great one. (I know that I will). Signing off... ;)

Danbo - I Found an Apple

2011-08-21T23:05:00.000+08:00

Hey Dad, I Found an Apple - In Large

It has been another great weekend. Even though I didn't do much this week other than watch the "Cowboy and Alien" with LB on Saturday and then headed to brother house to meet those little "heroes" chit chat and have some catch up with bro. Yeah feel kinda good somehow where I manage to meet all of them in a day. Kinda miss those little heroes sometimes. (Where I received their call last few weeks and don't know what the hack they are talking about until bro told me that the little one is asking when I will be going back to AS) x"D haha... Anyway, just feel that this weekend is very great one somehow. :)

More photos after the jump...

And..., photos of the day is just another small addition to the Danbo series (again...). and this round, the Danbo family found an Apple. Yeah the new addition baby (Macbook Pro) that I am still trying to get familiarize with. But so far I am still very happy with it and now it has been my sole photo processing machine. :"). Anyway, for the setup geeks, it is a 2 lights setup both lights on grid just to control where the light spill at (And one with a small gobo as well). Safe all the typing, I have the BTS shoot this round for those who are interested. :)

Alright, that's all for tonight. I am still waiting to get my small little project to be done, finding the right time, venue and moment to complete it. So hopefully, I could complete that and share some of the works with all of you here really soon. :") Have a great night people. Signing off... ;)

Danbo - Misery Goes with the Wind - in Large

Feel great that I am back blogging again. It has been a while that I stop. (Even though my inner self is telling me that I should continue doing so even though there are so many things on hand that needs to be completed). Anyway, I am still in the middle of getting the grove back on blogging. :) I think sometimes, after a person get sick (Yes, having flu (again) for the last few days and it is sucks for being sick), eventually it will bring you back to the beginning, where you have started (some sort like a reboot) recalling what you should not forget and continue doing. So I will posting more really soon. So stay tune... ;)

And for the update, nothing much, just in case wondering what I have been doing lately. Here we go, getting myself familiarize with a new baby is not a easy job specially when it is running totally on a different OS. But I am glad that I have switch over to it and have a feel on it. Personally, I think it perform much faster compare to my quad core extreme desktop. Lightroom (LR) and Photoshop operation on it is super smoother, fast and very responsive (and it is not laggy at all compare to my desktop). So for the last few weeks, I am getting myself familiarize with all the control, shortcuts and migrate all my actions over to this new laptop. Yeah it is my first Macbook Pro. And I am glad that I have one now. ;) Thanks Lean for showing me his Macbook Air (MBA) and eventually I have buy off after did some test with his LR on his MBA. ;)

Anyway for photo of the day... (I got to apologize that I forget to shoot the BTS for this Danbo shoot). :( Anyway it is a simple setup where it just a flash with a reflective umbrella about 2 feet on the left from the subject. lens is wide open at F1.4 and the flash is at around 1/128 50mm). I think the tricky part is on the water part where I will need to ensure that it will go only 1 direction somehow. Anyway here we go. Danbo - Misery Goes with the Wind. Just hope that all the sickness will gone really soon so that I could have my optimum performance back again. ;)

Alrighty, I will call it a night then. Not a long one with not a lot of photos here. I hope that all of you will have a great evening ahead. Signing off... :)

Happy Birthday LB!

2011-08-01T21:38:00.000+08:00

We have a small celebration for LB last week since it is her birthday. We didn't do anything fancy other than going for a small dinner (and a small cheese cake) at Delicious at Strait Quay. Headed home for a rest and have a proper weekend celebration (and rest) on Saturday. :)

More photos after the jump...

Nothing major and I have brought along my camera this round. Just to get some shoot for LB on her new age. :") Happy Birthday LB. I hope that you will like the small celebration here. :) (Although I have forgotten to do something that I should do, and I still feel pretty bad until today). Hope that there will be more years to come that I will be by your side to celebrate it with you again. (And I am glad that you are by my side as well all these years). Thanks and I Love You. :")

Disney Label - Transformers

2011-07-24T22:34:00.000+08:00

Anyway, I think it is a pretty nice and productive weekend. LB is on-call and I think we just hang around in the house and even bring laptop out for our lunch (Just to ensure that things are covered just in case she is paged during that time). Anyway, found out a few new tech. (Probably it is an old one and I have outdated with all this techie stuff). I found out about this D-Link Powerline from a friend. Where it pretty much will use your house electrical cables as a wireless connection to transmit data from your modem to other devices. A pretty cool one from my perspective. Now you could just forget about all the hassles to get your network cables in your wall and think where you wanna put your port and setup your desktop. The setup is as simple as one device that connected to your modem and another just right beside your PC. Walah done. You have your internet connection ready to your PC, how cool is that! ;D

More photos after the jump...

Anyway photos of the day is one of the collection that I like very much (Small and yet rigid) and it is part of the Disney Label - Transformer series. It is the Mickey Mouse Transformer (that can transform into a track) and If I am not mistaken they call this the Nemesis Mickey (or Optimouse Prime) :"P since it is in black and white color. (They still do have other edition like the ori red and blue as well as the special edition Halloween series). Anyway, this is part of LB collection. :"P (Guess I have my own collection and she has hers). Anyway since a peer would like to take a look at both of them (Yes, included Donald Duck that can transform into a Bumblebee) so I just get them for some quick shoot here. But seriously, I prefer Donald Duck over the mickey somehow (in robot mode) but the Donald's vehicle transformation is killing me for a small bots like that. :"P (Probably I am too old for this kind of toy, haha) x"D

And for the lighting setup. (Great! I forget to take any BTS for this round). Anyway as usual a very simple one. one light setup via the umbrella place like 2 feets away right on top of the subject. A very short post today. :) still in the middle optimizing my work flow and so far I think the progress is great. I think the progress has been in the 90% and still doing some finalization and cross check just to ensure that everything do comes out as I wanted them to be. (I just love this type of feeling somehow. >:D). And finally... RIP Amy Winehouse, another great, talented, disturbed artist. Hope that her sole will be RIP.

Anyway I think I should stop now. I hope that all of you have a great weekend and a great weak ahead! Signing off... ;)
