Once Upon a time - The groom & bride asked me, Why would i need a good photographer on my wedding day?

and i answered...The Only Thing left right after your wedding day is Your Photos. - expensive investment on: Beautiful Flower, Delicious Foods, Wonderful Moments, Wedding Hall decoration all gone the next day. -

I want a perfect Wedding.

Yes we all want one....But You don't need a perfect Wedding - because perfect sometimes boring...On your wedding day... What more important is how much you will enjoy your wedding and treasure all the moments...

Thank you for for all the wishes!

Digital Inspiration When Photography Combine with Post Processing

Sunday, October 17, 2010 Posted in Blogging Update

The Early Days

Accidentally bought my DSLR (canon 350D) because i’m darn frustrated with the performance of Nikon Coolpix point and shoot camera 7.1 MP. Oh gosh you really don’t have ideas how bad it was!. The worst among the worst is, when i have to wait 10 seconds to take my second shot! can you imagine that?

Well maybe just my bad luck.

Photography is just a Photography

I started this as a hobby, do not really know what i can do with my DLSR, i started it out by taking free photos of our one of the most grandiest event of the year. The Unduk Ngadau State level competition :) ( Cultural Beauty Paegant.

I am my own teacher

Yes i learn everything from zero, from my camera setting, posing my subject, creating my signature shots, come up with new ideas and creativity of doing portrait (eg, Huminodun the untold stories)

After few years of learning own my own, from Photographing to post processing, i started to realize that i need to go out and seek the best photographers to learn from. Of course this is one of the hardest thing to do because i need money and this gonna cost me more than i could afford. Imgagine learning from people who really inspired you, who makes you WOW with their works. and named as one of the best in their industry and some given the award as Top 10 wedding photographers in the world?

Creative Photographers

This is me, i don’t call myself as the classic,old & boring photographer as i tend to look photography at the creative side of it. I fall in love with photographers with creative ideas, concept, Where when they created a new shots it is by all means to show their best creativity with messages on it photos. It is not simply clicking the shutter, or just to capture the photos.

i started late, and this is all just a coincidence. So i have to find and discover the best of me in photography, find my best strength in this industry Or else, i will never be here and no one will notice my existence & for sure this blog will stay as my random photography blog.

Digital Inspiration – Photography Combine With post Processing – Creating Art.

Photography alone is boring. I’m glad that i do not have to go through a formal education in Photography. I do not have to spent years waiting my A4 size paper to reach my hand or getting the recognition by others so that you can start your own photography career. Though i understand you’ll you’ll get more knowledge attending formal education… But i guess it is too late for me.

I used to look at others creative works, digital inspiration and beautifully post processed. That time, i always ask myself, how come these Pro Photographers  have so darn nice,vivid images, sharp,bright, beautiful, & sometimes out of my imagination. Not knowing what behind their great photos… i keep on searching and do my homework, i guess that reading and homework thingy does bring me somewhere.

To make it short, Photography + Post Processing create art.  But hey, you have to start it with good photo & remember this, You don’t post process your images because you are capable of doing it… But you do it because that particular image are going to look even better & wonderful with a lil touch up or post process done to it.

P/s Think positive, Be Positive, you’ll surely be at where you want to be. Life’s hard, make it simple. don’t make it harder :)

We are actually considering to add Music to the slide Show However this will slow down page loading (Specially my landing page) I am not so sure if this is a good Idea or move.  Do share your idea about adding music to the slide show.
