How to get this shot......

I was doing a few of shot where the model swings the dress to get a fabric dancing effect. I was looking at some magazines and pictures posted some of it are blurred shots and can't seem to freeze the motion. This is a very easy trick to the shot... here goes...

The Camera Settings : Shutter Speed of 1/250, between f/8-f/16 depending on your lighting set up.
The shots were done with 2 x Nikon SB-800 and 1 x SB-600 - Creative Lighting System. There are many more settings that you can experiment with. Be daring just test it out. You will learn faster that way, that how I did it via trail & error method.

A Moment Like This......

The song goes...

A Moment like this... some people wait a life time, some people search forever...... some people wait a life time for a moment like this......."

I guess most can sing to this lyrics. Hmmmmm, I think I am going thru the 'moment' at the moment (pun intended) Haiz... I don't know where to start.

I guess the moment will pass and another waiting game again... Well I seized the moment , but then what am I going to do with it.

My brain is working ever faster than I can write down the ideas. My body is failing me in a lot of ways. But part of the blame also is my Panda nature, can't stop eating.

to be cont.....

Anything is Possible....

Long ago I've always been fascinated with Fashion Shows especially the designers to think and put up a show. A crew that put many hours into the presentation of a walkway.

Whenever I'm in Thailand, I always tune to FTV ala Fashion TV. I will watch it till I doze off and wake up to FTV.

Come this December , the word Impossible , I guess will be out of my dictionary. My company participated in the Kuala Lumpur International Batik exhibition & convention. While I was with the organiser I just casually ask if they have a time slot for me to use on the stage.

He came back yes! 45mins for a fashion show. I was happy for the few moment.... now comes the stress and headache.

Planning for the show and also preparing for the booth and all marketing materials. Well I would think after this event I will really sit down and write a book since I'm not a fashion designer, not an artist nor a fashion show organiser. All I have is ideas and the determination.

Finger crossed it all goes well in less than 40 days. That will be 960 hours... not a lot of time left...
I will need all the help I can get and afford. Working on a limited budget as well....

After all these I will need a rest to re-charge but knowing me I will be on my toes again for some other crazy business ideas.....

ImPossible = I'm Possible ...........

Dun you hate it !!!!

Aaarrrrrgh.... Don't you hate it when you were the one that did all the research and testing and someone else claiims glory and say rubbish of thier hard work......

What a shock!!!!

Malaysia - The heart of South East Asia, with some iconic buildings in Kuala Lumpur one would find it fascinated to visit all these places being a tourist. The Petronas Twin towers , The KL Tower, etc.....

My friend came from Thailand for his first time and obviously I became the local tour guide and ambassador of Kuala Lumpur to him.

1st stop - KL Tower, 400 + meter high - 4th tallest building in the world. One would open your jaw in awe standing dwarfed under the tower as you walk into the entrance. I look sooooo tiny......

Anyways bringing my friend up to the entrace and buying the tickets..... I think you would FAINT just to know how much it cost to take a lift to the observation deck and have a view of our hazy KL skyline.

A whopping RM38.00 , I asked the cashier if there is any Local prices ? She bluntly reply NO!....

Normal circumstances , if I was a family of 5 on a Sunday bringing the family to visit local tourist attraction I would made a very HUGE dent in my wallet.

RM38 x 5 pax = RM190.00

For the average household it could have been a week groceries. Hmmmmm opportunity cost which shall I choose... innie , minnie, miney , moe..... I choose (drum rolls) a bit hard to decide here... hmmmmmm

OBVIOUSLY I would choose not to go !!............

Tourism Malaysia encourages us to go local tours...... How are they going to achieve this when there is no Local Malaysia prices for local Malaysians!!!

Gee I wonder why Air Asia has been doing so well promoting to us Malaysians to travel Asean countries.

I sincerely hope all the Tourism Authority in Malaysia can get their act together and say what they mean..... and not come up with an excuse that it is affordable comparing to other countries.

Updates

It has been a while since I updated my blog....

A lot has happen since my last post. Hmm where to start....

There is a lot in the pipeline for the next 5 months or before the end of 2009 (Wow that's fast, I lost counted this year) 5 months = 20 + weeks equals SCARY........

What it takes to tell a LIE!

Well, it came to my attention on this topic. It's funny how we tell lies be it a white lie, blatantly a stupid lie, a lie to cover some other lies the list goes on and on.

A perfect example we use daily.... if we are late to an appointment the waiting party calls very confidently we say 'On the way'; 'very near'; 'traffic jam' and lots more :)

We use it enough times it just comes out of our mouth ever so smoothly like going to toilet on an easy day.

Well it was so funny when you know someone is telling you a lie, I'm sure most of you have been through the situation beofre.

Mine happened , oh oh I mean a friend of a friends story......

The news actually got to a friend of a friend's (fof) well before they tell them the news. so this fof of mine just listen in and listen to what they have to say. The story they tell you is funny.
Not going inot the specifiecs of the whole story but will reveal it in a much later time.

Well looking at the whole senario they would have to live with thier lies the whole of the life I guess most people can live with it. It a 'norm' thing I guess. The best part is they are not covering it lolz..... how brave can we get these days. I hope the new generation will not be like this.

Well what our teachers taught us in school 'honesty is the best policy' that went down the drain preety quick just like me downing my coke on a hot day......

haaaa.. the thought of coke now relates me to food and I'm hungry now. I guess I will stop here to top up my stomach.
