Hello! Welcome to my newly setup blog.
Tonight, I'm supposed to catchup with a new friend whom I met during a photography trip to Malacca in June. Well, he stood me up, so now...I got no one to go out with! I was pretty excited when we finally managed set a date to meet up, as you will find out that I'm a lone photographer, without friends of the same passion. Most of the time its just me and my camera.... and well, my profoto strobes too. So getting to know a photographer friend is a BIG DEAL to me!
Out of boredom, I decided to create a new blog. I had a blog on yahoo but blogger.com is definitely more impressive.
My expression on the photograph above would tell you how I'm feeling after being stood up right now. And yes, this is me. This photo is taken by myself. Spraying water on my face with one hand and triggering the camera remote with the other. Double click on the photo and you can see every single details of the water droplets on my face and earlobes.
I have a ritual of doing self portraits at night. And something struck me to experiment stopping motions with strobes lately. So I started to test with my mother's spray, which she uses for ironing clothes! After spraying myself about 200 times, the water droplets still seem blurrish on the photos, I can't seem to freeze such high-speed motion with a focal plane shutter and the flash duration of the B2 (profoto battery-packed strobes) are probably not fast enough too.
Although the experiment wasn't a real success, I thought the water droplets on my face was fantastic. The strong side light picked up the details of evey single droplets. And I was kinda happy with it. Now it becomes a wallpaper on my mac!
