Been editing and processing photos the whole day and the coming days (while waiting for d-day). And this is how I would probably look like if all hell breaks loose with my mac and hard drives (knock on wood).

mix and matching and then some

The photo above is supposed to be my entry 227. Since I've been quite busy lately, I completely forgot about it and the fact that it was shot with my iPhone 3G (which I am starting to hate). It was shot during a show of Dragone's The House of Dancing Water over at City of Dreams here in Macau.

a diptych from Asia Adult Expo that opened today over at the Venetian.

A funny story, I was right in front of the stage shooting, then I quickly look down to check my camera LCD then when I put back the camera in front of my face, I saw a familiar person onstage with the male performer. My wife was invited to the stage, only then did the guy realized that my wife is pregnant.

this photo was done during my session today for a local blog.

After setting up my lights and waiting for the the model, I saw this guy from the corner of my eye making his way to the "set". i was hoping that he steps exactly where i prefocused my lens which he did. I was ready and bam, one click.

It's not an amazing picture but i like it. =)

TipsyTuesday

sometimes it easier to say sorry than ask for permission. after taking the shot, he looked at me with some angry face. I wanted to press the shutter again but then he was out of my light. I wasn't looking directly at him but i can see him wating for me to look back at him.

To Mr. anonymous, I apologize for taking a photo of your back. It was a nice little moment. Peace!

"HOT CHOCOLATE FONDANT WITH CARAMELIZED BANANA AND ITALIAN PISTACHIO, CARAMEL ICE CREAM AND SOUR CHERRY" from Altira Hotel's Aurora Restaurant here in Macau.

For my wife's birthday celebration, we started off with a great lunch from the restaurant. she ordered some salad for appetizer and i had a small portion of risotto with squid and i had a wagyu beef and she had a red snapper for main.

after lunch was spa day. spent almost the whole afternoon in the hotel's spa then ended the day with the friday night wine tasting promo of the same hotel. she did not drink anything with alcohol but she enjoyed the cheese and other bites.

Somewhere in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong. besides Miramar mall. I tried waiting for someone to pass by but they always walk behind me. To obvious that i was waiting for a "decisive moment". =)

Tried my sparkling new ballhead from manfrotto. It works great for the its price. Good for general photography. a lot sturdier than my old one. even works well with a 30 second exposure and light painting (little car).

anybody interested in buying it from me?

as usual, click on the photo for larger version.

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby, kiss me

Fill my heart with song
And let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you



Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, in other words
I love ... you

The photo above is a "step 1" shot for the photo I took today. Unfortunately, I can't reveal the final image yet. Anyway, it's something that will blow your mind away.

For today's TipsyTuesday is about lighting in layers. It's about adding light one at a time. For example, for the photo above i started with determining the right exposure for the background. I then added a snooted light for the label. a few small reflectors to open up some shadows. until i got what i needed and wanted.

This way, it is also easier to adjust the direction, intensity and/or color of your light.

i had chance to walk on this place today not once but twice and with breathtaking view of macau. to top it off, the sunset was great with looming storm cloud from afar. but was not able to shoot that. too bad.
