Jenna Gong

on my previous post, i said i have a chance to try out EOS 60D. so today i decided to give Jenna Gong our model of that day a blog post about her photos only.

hope you guys like it, i hope she likes it. :)

all was done in a studio environment. first time for me to shoot in this environment. i didn't really know how to use off studio flash to shoot. so all my photos here is from natural lighting on the left, and shooting with Canon New EOS 60D! Using only kit lens Canon EF-S 18-200 mm F3.5-5.6 IS @ 200mm mostly and with Aperture Priority mode. you can check all the EXIF of the picture from my flickr pool. :)

enough talking, here is some of the pictures i took:
i need to shoot really really close 'cos there is alot people blocking my way and the backdrop is not really "nice". but all will be alot different if i know how to strobe correctly! :(
it is so easy to shoot a professional model. every frame you took is a perfect frame!
must thanks Jenna for giving us perfect pose every time we point our camera at her. Full Credit to Jenna! Kam Sia!
above pic is not done with EOS 60D creative filter, i have a different test on all the filter in other shoot. will post a review of EOS 60D tomorrow or the next day. :)
and if you guys thinking what i would say about the new EOS 60D? hmm.. in short i would say. EOS 60D is more to a female camera 'cos you can do all your editing in camera. so less time on PC which most women love it. :P

and.. for once i think 17.9MP is really worth it. they manage to keep the noise level down with higher MP

movie, if you shoot alot movie. you going to like the articulated screen. make your life a lot easier!

sample from Canon EOS 60D preview

just manage to download all the files from my SD card and did a quick glance through of the photos i got on saturday EOS 60D preview.

this is one of the pic i took of Jenna:there is no edit to the picture. this pic is straight out from 60D, shooting in JPG only. didn't shoot in RAW 'cos don't think there is any program that can support 60D files yet. :)

will write a review about 60D when i m free, and also post more pic of it and ISO test i did on that day. :)

Thanks Beh for inviting me to this event and Congraz Max for opening Penang First EOS Boutique! I will surely drop by your boutique again when there is more prime L for me to test. hehe.

PS: Thanks Jenna for been our model of that day! and Congraz on winning Estee Lauder-Canon Most Photo Perfect Winner 2010!

cameron highland

last weekend i travel to alot place. i go from Penang to Ipoh to Cameron Highland and back to Ipoh to Tambun for seafood before i head back to Penang. i was extremely tired but i had alot of fun.

if you planning to go Cameron Highland please go now. Around this month is the best time to go there. Nice sweet strawberry and alots of flowers (thanks Beh) and nice tea leaf.

that is why there is alot KL ppl is up there last weekend and less malay tour bus. so easy to get hotel room and places to park. if you haven't been there yet. please go now!

here is the view from EQ hotel.there is farm and all other things to see but i find this view very interesting so i post this picture first. :D

next up the BOH tea factory, now is open for visit anytime of the hour. no need to wait for the tour guide. which is good! hehe.

picture of their kitchen. alot cups for alot of tea!
not to forget the flower. it is been awhile i shoot any flower this close. haha.
and last but not least. shoot some nice FY portrait there.
will post more when i m done with it. now, i need my sleep!

first runner up

as promise this is the first runner up picture that i took, Ms Phunthip Praivuangkit from Thailand. It me a while to find her name 'cos the list of names that i got from the web No#9 is not her name! so i need to go google it again and finally got the real finalists name list!

i should have search for southeast asia finalists then i got the correct name list. haha. :S hmm.. i also notice that day, there is only 21 girls. it should be 22. hmm.. she must be sick kua.

anyway, here are some of the picture i took for her. hope you guys like it. :)

start off with she walking the catwalk for canon product.
with a pinky camera.. hmm.. not my color. haha.
she always put on a nice smile for us.
another one of her. before she change into swimsuit...
wah lah~ her bikini walk~

aiks.. she notice me. noooo.. i guess is time to lose some weight so i can hide in event shoot haha.
some high key try out. hmm.. how?
i like this!
she is not looking at me right? not again... *shy shy*
a normal black and white conversion with abit of highlight on her face to bring out the depth.
and another one i like!

that is all for tonight. more to come in two days time. haha. 2nd runner up :P

miss chinese cosmo 2010 winner

remember this girl? that i post on my previous post?ya she won the miss chinese cosmo 2010!!!

she is no#21 Miss Zhang Qiao Wen. big congratulation to her for winning this competition! Malaysia Boleh! there is two Malaysian in the top 3 and she is one of it. the other person got 2nd runner up. i will post her photos the next day. :)

so here is some of the photos i got of her last week during the event in Penang.
sorry not much of her pictures with the SLR 'cos when she was doing the catwalk for the 550D SLR, there is 2 more girls with her. so if there is 3 hot girls on the stage very hard to get the nice picture, either you get a lot head shots or not nice angle of it. :(

anyway, got a few nice one during the bikini walk 'cos she is alone and i got more time to take the nice shot! hehe.

so i hope you guys likes it. :) To start off, here is one she walking towards the center of stage at the beginning:
great smile and energy to it. :)

and follow with some of her big smile photos:
one of the close up.
and to end, this is the only picture i got of her looking towards me or anyone behind me. hahah.
thanks Qiao Wen! and Congraz again! :D
