It's been a privilege for me to be a part of this. More updates after the product launch soon. All I can say is that it's been good working with a great client and a fantastic team!<br />

True enough it was. I went out to shoot a panorama of Kuala Lumpur's sunrise via Kampung Baru flats. My art director friend, Khairul Hasbullah has been kind enough to share me the shoot spot. I'd also like to thank my buddy Azwan for agreeing to come along and shoot together.<br />
<br />
It was my fault that Azwan and I arrived late on location. The consequences of that was we saw the light diminishing as we went up the 16th floor.<br />
<br />
With my mind only set to "chase the light", I completely forgot to shoot a 45degree plane facing the floor, rendering my spherical pano somewhat incomplete. You'll know what I mean when you check out the pano below.<br />
<br />
I love exploring new challenges and this is one of them. Challenges gives me room for improvement. That being said, I'm definitely revisiting this spot for a better photo.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

Recently, I've acquired a solid panorama head called "Nodal Ninja 3". This evening, I've set foot to a nearby spot not far from my home to test out the equipment. I couldn't wait for good weather to test this out so I went anyway despite the grey weather. It was raining before I got to the location and what was left was just gray sky.<br />
<br />
Oh ya, to those who are wondering what lens I was using for this shoot, it was the Canon 17-40mm f4. I don't have a fisheye lens (which would help reduce the rotation stops) so I used the widest zoom setting (17mm) for this lens. I set the panohead to click at every 45 degree intervals. That means there were 8 stops before we come full circle.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are the results of this test.<br />
<br />
Please note: The following examples are TEST SHOTS in BAD WEATHER (and not so favorable location).<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's a quick blogpost for Malaysian Photographers.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nobody has really said it formally, but dress codes can be tricky. Nevertheless, here are some wardrobe list that I think any photographer, especially in Malaysia should have in their suitcase. Hope this helps.<br />
<br />
I understand that everyone is unique and there's a wide range of the type of photography work is around. This is not a compulsory dress code, but I think it's essential for every photographer to have at least one of these wardrobe suggestions in their collection.<br />
<br />
The concept of a photographer's wardrobe is to create as little attention to ourselves as possible. In other words, try to dress so that you can blend-in with the crowd and be invisible. This will allow us to take the attention away from us and actually focus on getting our shots.<br />
<br />
These are some basic suggestions, based on what I do have, and usually wear on a shoot, meeting, or presentation. It works well for me.<br />
<br />
For female photographers, the concept is the same, dress to create less attention to yourself.<br />
<br />
Keywords to note when it comes to dressing for a shoot:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Invisible</li>
<li>Less attention</li>
<li>Sharp</li>
<li>Clean</li>
<li>Neat</li>
<li>Smart</li>
<li>Professional</li>
<li>Comfortable</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>For formal events, dinners, launches.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<u>Combo 1: General corporate events</u></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Black shirt, long sleeve</li>
<li>Black trousers</li>
<li>Black (polishable) shoes</li>
</ol>
<div>
<u>Combo 2: Suits</u></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Black suit (with black trousers)</li>
<li>White shirt</li>
<li>Tie of your choice (possibly that doesn't attract attention: plain coloured, grey, dark blue or black)</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>For Royal occasions, Malay weddings</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Black baju Melayu with complete buttons</li>
<li>Black songkok</li>
<li>Black and gold sampin</li>
<li>Black (polishable) shoes</li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>Casual work, for commercial, on-location</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Jeans (either black or blue), but not worn out or seasoned. You wanna look sharp.</li>
<li>Cargo pants or Khaki pants</li>
<li>Khaki shorts for sports events</li>
<li>Black plain collared T-shirt</li>
<li>White plain collared T-shirt</li>

<br />
<ol>
<li>Very good high ISO performance (I'll post some samples of an event I shot in very little light)</li>
<li>High dynamic range (as illustrated).</li>
</ol>
<div>
This is an image I shot in an Indian temple in Kuala Lumpur, around 10am. The sun was up and bright, which created a very high contrast from the shaded area of the temple interior and the outside compound.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you notice the RAW photo on the left, the difference between the shadows and highlights would be well of between 8 to 10-stops. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the right is the image processed in Adobe Lightroom 4 where the shadows and highlights are rescued. Other technical aspects aside, I'm super astonished with the amount of information that was captured even in the shadows area and not to mention the highlights. Places where I thought contains no information, such as the distant high-rise apartments, actually exist in the RAW file!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you haven't tried out this camera, I suggest you give it a go. I know I'm very happy with it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cheers!<br />

<br />
2012 was good and I'm looking forward to a more productive 2013. Last year I was soo busy shooting that I didn't even allocate time to update my blog. Well, this year, I've made a resolution to update as quick as possible my latest work and what's going on with me. Therefore, to start of with, here's my recent published work to open this exciting year of 2013!<br />
<br />
I made it to the cover for Time Out Malaysia Kids Guide 2013 and got the spread too. It was nice to meet the subjects portrayed. All three of them have a unique occupation and was truly inspirational, especially their dedication to their passion. Nice. :)<br />

The maps belong to a local collector and the images will be featured in a book Published by <a href="http://www.edmbooks.com/">Editions Didier Millet</a>. We decided to shoot this assignment with a medium format to get the highest detail possible.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Pre-production</u></b></div>
<div>
Before any work start, I had a briefing meeting with the publisher. The purpose is to discuss the scope of work and layout everything on the table. During this discussion, we investigate all possible outcome of the shoot, from the date and time, logistics, shoot schedule, the shoot list, props (if necessary), the method of shooting and some other issues. Once we've cleared this out, we can list out the costs involved which are essentially fees plus expenses. From here, we went on a recce session to check out the location and the items and see if there are any other issues to be sorted out. Once I got all information that I needed, I sent out the quote and waited for approval.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
*To draw up the quote, I went on a lookout for equipment rental services and glass makers to supply a 4'x5' glass to be used during the shoot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>The Call</u></b></div>
<div>
Within the same week, I got a call to say that the quote is OK and it's a go. Cool!</div>
<div>
<i>What now?</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
Once I got the green light, I quickly confirm my booking with the rental house, FLIER PLE (<a href="http://www.flierple.com/">www.flierple.com</a>). I rented a Hasselblad H4D-40, 120mm f4 macro lens, and two units of Profoto D1 air 1000ws with a pair of 3'x4' softbox. I also rented a pair of C-stands and arms to clip the glass sandwich where the maps are going to be placed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Before work begins, I did a few test shots with the HD4-40 at the rental house to make sure that all is good to go.</div>

Finally, I also made sure that I've assembled my team of assistants and briefed them about the work.</div>
<div>

<div>
<b><u>Shoot Day</u></b></div>
<div>
The owner of the maps wanted us to shoot super early so that we can finish early. We arrived on location at 7am and estimated the shoot to finish at 5pm, which included a 1-hr lunch-break. We had 14 maps to shoot and proceeded with the session. My team was super fantastic that it turns out that we completed all the map shoot at 3pm. It was amazing!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Post-Production</u></b></div>
<div>
The images are currently being processed and due for delivery within 2-weeks. We got most of it right on location and post production work now comprises of some edging out, and colour checks and stitching if necessary.</div>

<br />
I recently upgraded my remote triggers to Aputure Trigmaster 2.4G.<br />
At first I was looking to replace my remote radio camera trigger which has failed due to a broken internal wire in the connecting cables to the camera. Therefore, one of my criteria was to find a remote that has a replaceable wire. I found the Aputure Trigmaster to fit the bill.<br />
<br />
Turns out that the Aputure Trigmaster can also trigger flash, therefore I decided to spend some extra cash to get another three extra receivers for my speedlights.<br />
<br />
At first I wasn't so sure about getting this brand, but after reading a review at <a href="http://lightingrumors.com/">Lightingrumors.com</a>, I was confident to go ahead with this choice.<br />
<br />
The price is very affordable compared to other makes. A set of transmitter and receiver is RM100 only, and additional receiver is RM50/unit. This is the selling price at Digicolor, at Jalan Ipoh (<a href="http://www.dgcoloronline.com/">www.dgcoloronline.com</a>). So far, Digicolor sells this unit the cheapest compared to other sellers in Malaysia.<br />
<br />
One thing that I like about these triggers are that the transmitter uses a 23A battery and the receivers use 2xAAA batteries, which are very easy to find at 7eleven's or your local marts. My previous Cactus V2 flash triggers and my Phottix radio camera remote uses CR2 batteries which were expensive. This problem arises when the "on" switch is accidently flicked during transport or while they're in your bag and drains the battery out before you can use it.<br />
<br />
Field Test, what I like about these triggers:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Consistency. </b><br />They fire perfectly and I have peace of mind. I've used them in three assignments to date and they all work beautifully.</li>
<li><b>Low profile.</b><br />The receivers mounts low on my umbrella bracket and it's more stable than my Cactus V2 receivers.</li>
<li><b>Multipurpose.</b><br />I like the fact that the transmitter can trigger my flash or my camera. Now I carry one thing less in my bag. Travel light.</li>
<li><b>Cheap to expand your set.</b><br />The cheap price of an extra unit of receivers (RM50/unit) means that you can build up your set faster than any other brand. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<b>If money is no object.</b></div>
<div>
If money is not an issue, I'd probably get the TTL radio remotes from either the Phottix Odin or the new Yong Nuo 622</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Conclusion.</b></div>

For photographers starting to build their off camera systems and looking for a decent remote flash or camera trigger, I highly recommend the Aputure Trigmaster 2.4G because of its is value for money and because of that it's an affordable to expand in the future (if you're planning to add more receivers into your system).</div>

<br />
As I mentioned in my previous post, here's the Behind The Scenes video I put together of our recent Simple Food Photography Workshop on 23-JUN-2012. For those who couldn't make it, I hope this video will give you some idea of what's involved in the workshop and hopefully I'll see you all in the next workshop, ya? Enjoy!<br />

Delicious!I'm so ecstatic about the outcome my recent Simple Food Photography Workshop yesterday. Here's a quick post of the shots I took during the workshop to demonstrate to the participants on the fundamentals of simple food photography. The participants and I are very well satisfied with the new updated techniques we used in this session. I didn't take any stills of the participants at work, but even better, a video post of behind-the-scenes will follow soon! Meanwhile, enjoy the mouth-watering images :)<br />

Currently , I'm using the X-rite Color Checker Passport which is superb in making sure I get the colours right. I've moved on from the QP card to the Whibal, and finally to the Color Checker. I shoot a lot of products in the studio and also some colour sensitive subjects on-location and getting the right colour is very crucial for me. Adjusting the white balance and colour tint in the camera can be a tricky guesswork and I'd like to get my colours correct as much as possible. Here are some visuals for your reference. Enjoy!<div>

Recently I shot an editorial assignment that I was not happy about. It was a point where my gear had reached its limit. This was shot at 1/125s, f5.6, ISO400 7D+24mm f1.4L and was lit with 600ws studio light. This is a 100% crop.<br />
<br />
This image had compromised its clarity and noise. Nevertheless, I tried processing with Lightroom 4 and Capture One 6 to see if any one of these softwares shows any improvement in those two aspects.<br />
<br />
During this investigation, I found out that Capture One 6 fixes chromatic aberration better than Lightoom 4. However, Lightroom 4 processes details & clarity better than Capture One 6.<br />
<br />
On my last note, it appears that Capture One 6 produces more neutral colours than Lightroom 4.<br />
<br />
I'm not happy with this output and now scratching my head to plan out for a medium format with a digital back. Wish me luck! :)<br />

This might be old news, but it's been a month since I bought myself Adobe Lightroom 4. I've been testing out the beta version for a while and once the full version was released I couldn't believe how affordable it was. I got it for RM 505 through The Network Hub Sdn Bhd, who is one of Adobe's Gold Distributor as listed on Adobe's website.<br />
<br />
<u><b>What I like about Adobe Lightroom 4.</b></u><br />
Although you can be content if you still have Lightroom 3 at hand, having Lightroom 4 does give you some edge in processing your images.<u><b> </b></u><br />
<ol>
<li>Better shadows & highlights rescue than LR3. I shoot a lot of high key portraits on a white cyc. It's easier to clean-up the highlights in LR4.</li>
<li>More options on the adjustment tools (gradient and brush tool). More control on highlights, colour, saturation, clarity and almost all of the basic editing variables are also available on the adjustment tools to be tweaked, hence more control.</li>
<li>Superb noise reduction. I shot an ISO 2500 image and it did wonders in cleaning up the noise.</li>
<li>More stable tethering than LR3.</li>
</ol>
If you're interested to learn more about Adobe Lightroom 4, why don't you attend <b>"The Ultimate Lightroom Workflow"</b> , a 3-day workshop by Jared Platt all the way, LIVE from Seattle via the internet, from 14-JUN till 16-JUN. It's FREE!<br />

I've been really productive in 2011 that I didn't have time to keep you guys posted on what I did. Therefore, for this year, my aim is to disseminate information as quickly and as accurately as possible.<br />
<br />
Here are my recent published work for Time Out KL and Time Out Malaysia magazines.<br />
<br />
I've been meaning to scan these prints but it was consuming too much of my time. I needed to share these and in the end I took these quick shots with my mobile phone. Not too shabby I suppose. Probably I'll scan the tearsheets in another time to replace these. I found out that blogging shouldn't consume much of my time, because it's about sharing as fast as possible, so here they are, for your viewing pleasure. Thanks for reading!<br />

<u>Note: </u><br />
This assignment would be one of the most exciting assignments that I got. Partially because I just got a Sigma 30mm f1.4 and used it first on this assignment. The lens produced such depth and clarity I really loved the outcome of it. The focal length is nice too. I got to work in tight and wide spaces with just this lens. Loved the angle of view. It was so pleasing to the eye. Several wide angle shots were taken with the Canon 10-20mm on the 7D.<br />

This was and is my challenge.</td></tr>

Here's another section in this issue. The products and talents were shot in our studio except the furnitures which were shot on-location at VIVA Homes, Cheras. Some of the small items were shot by Stacy Liu, Time Out's in-house lovely photographer.<br />
