My Shots @ The Avant Garde Wedding Photoshoot

Friday, January 01, 2010

Okay, here it is. I'll show you a glimpse of my set. I wanted the theme to be cohesive and since I learned something new about post processing it was just right to implement it to all the photos I have on the wedding set. Although it is painstakingly taking me too much time for a single photo, I think it came out right. It was well worth it. I think I also have taken advantage of the golden hour while on this shoot with the nocturnals. I like the different ways she actually gets the poses I want for the shoot. I'm talking about Jinri... she is Korean and if you look at the other pictures I have on my laptop, it would all consist of high fashion shots. These samples are all the wholesome more general viewing shots of the set. But you get the idea right? Cindy on the other hand was shot when it was almost night time so you can see the background a little darker than usual. Jinri were in some rooms in the orchidarium when we got those shots, hence the night effect. It was an awesome way to test out our flashes for off camera capabilities. It was really awesome! I still have another set which I have not finished so watch out for that!

Phone Retires and there are Promos!



Two cell phone companies just put up small kiosks on the office lounge and offered us free phones if we subscribe to their system. The offer is very nice since they usually cost around 4-5 thousand pesos in local malls. I wonder if these promotional products would be offered until next year. I plan to get an IPHONE because my current NOKIA 6280 is already giving up on me. It acts up when I put it on my pocket and shuts down by itself. I would really like to replace it but it has been very convenient for me.

The photos I took from it are also phenomenal. I took it on a climb last year and those are the photos above. Pretty nice huh?! You see it is really simple and very convenient to have a phone that will cater to your needs. I may get another one but this old one is going to be memorable. This actually started my frustrations with photography. I have an entry level camera now which I use for fashion and portraits. So you now see why I have these photos now.

I guess it did more to me than inspire me right?! I hope you like what it eventually had me do and appreciate the work I do now for models and their portfolios. I need a phone and I hope it performs better than this old one that I have. Otherwise it will just be paperweight when I get it from those companies. I think I need to see an on line store now. Where do I start?!

Looking for Samurai Showdown 2


My gaming addiction just kicked in. I am trying desperately to find a copy of a CSO file particularly one that has the Samurai Showdown 2 game on it. There is one though called an anthology which I hope contains all the games and versions of this title. The deal is I don't want to download stuff from sources that I do not have control of and if viruses come with it then I would really think about it twice. I don't want to damage photos on my laptop since I need this for photo editing. A hobby that has taken me places I have never been.

I am also having a little headache or hangover from drinking after my shift. I just found a couple of friends from a site I frequent a couple of years ago. I want to make a better choice this year but I think I will settle for the gaming itch first. It says that it would actually take me around 8 hours to download it but its okay, I'll try and see if this works. I really need it as you may know I was a champion of this game when I entered a competition on a local mall. I remember people crying after they lost to me LOL.

Office Inconvenience

I just came back from the other building to have New Year's Eve dinner. When I came back to my office it was scorching hot. Guess what?! The air conditioning unit bogged down again and it will probably be fixed tomorrow morning when people from the building administration arrive. I could have survived this with electric fans but since my cube looks like a room from a hospital/mental institution, it would be too hot in a couple of minutes. If that does not do anything to me, the humidity is going to kill me. I think it is a little too dry around here. I do not even have a sprayer with me to keep me sane throughout the shift but if I would not be able to work with these conditions, I might consider going to the other building instead.

This has happened in the past and I am pretty used to the ac compressor getting broken which would take them days to order and fix. We do not have facilities or systems which you can depend on line if it happens. I think it would be best if they get organized this year; so this would not happen again. It already is hot outside and it would not be fit to be hot here too.
