This time by Kong Weng while I was batch processing about 150+ photos and assembling the ‘Our Big Day’ Slide show. I look more relaxed now since at this moment the photo was taken, the slide show was almost completed.

Caught in action
Had a jammed pack weekend starting at good friend’s wedding and ending at my parents place doing re-potting and other stuff. A long sleepless week with a few problems didn’t help things much and my wife’s PC decided to expire peacefully at 7:04pm, Thursday, July 31st. Cause of death is two blown capacitors. Oh, well, time to upgrade. Anyways, after conducting a FlashWorks 101 lession on Friday night, I put all the batteries into chargers, packed my gear and slept at 1am.
05:38 : Woke up due to heat and couldn’t get back to sleep
06:20 : Little dog barking (my iPhone alarm clock)
06:32 : Aromatic coffee (Starbucks Rwanda Blue Bourbon) to kickstart the system
06:45 : Shower and soon after, load-up and head-out of the house
07:10 : Arrive at Jalan Selangor House
12:40 : After two houses, arrive home for lunch. Down 500ml of water, 325ml of 100Plus
14:00 : Download photos and take shower. Batch convert from CR2 to JPEG, downsize.
14:45 : Finished shower, and hit the road again.
15:05 : Arrive at Bible College of Malaysia – Wowzers, it’s 100 degress in the shade!
18:30 : Arrive at Bangsar Seafood Garden. Immediate download of photos
18:50 : Test run of first slideshow. Restaurant notebook crashes, Flash doesn’t work on backup PC.
19:01 : Batch conversion from CR2 to JPEG. Test my notebook to Projector
19:20 : Finalize slideshow and re-arrange some (reviewing it yesterday made me realize a few more photo sorting/ordering slips)
00:30 : Arrive home. Take shower.
01:00 : Review my photos and my wife’s photos (from another wedding)
02:30 : Crash into bed.
You can check out the some of photos on Anna-Rina’s blog here. It’s always fantastic to always meet another awesome photographer and how could anyone be more cool than Anna-Rina? Plus she managed to snag my big ass blocking the entire view at Church! Awesome!

Insect Eaters
Had a full weekend with chores, meetings and photography of a certain kind. Anyways, here’s one photo I approached it using some tips I picked up from Louis’ workshop. Yes, I know it’s a tiny pitcher plant but who says wedding photography and macro plant photography are different. In case you’re wondering, it’s for my brother-in-law’s new blog.
Behind the scene
Caught in action by my lovely wife 🙂
In case you’re wondering, that’s the Think Tank Modulus System – Pro Speed Belt, Pixel Racing Harness, Speed Changer, Lens Changer 75 and R U Thirsty.
Kelly & Chye E-session
We had tremendous fun just doing this shoot and eating that it felt more like a holiday than a photo shoot. That said, I think we did get some really great shots, the super hot weather not withstanding. There’s like so many things that Louis taught during his workshop that I had a tough time trying to remember. I think at least I got the location, lighting and skills bit. The story and the reaction needs work. All in all, this is definitely 5% better, and I can’t wait for the next 5%…
Louis Pang – From Ordinary to Extraordinary Workshop
From Ordinary to Extraordinary Workshop…
There’s nothing ordinary about Louis’ workshop. From technical skills to people skills, Louis’ heart, passion, love and energy is at such a high level that it will leave you so charged up that the next time you hold your camera to your eye, you’ll still hear his voice! You not only see how the maestro works but more importantly, there’s no secrets and Louis really opens up all his experience, knowledge and skill for you to tap. You’ll find out soon enough that love and passion count more than f-stops and shutter speeds! Probably the only money you spend on Photography that will not lose value!
