Good weather held for a fun-filled pool-side buffet to celebrate Wilayne & David coming together as a couple... but maybe, just a little too much good weather as in a scorching afternoon sun resulted in a little too much warmth. Nevertheless, it was a fun-filled event and there were lots of times where it became more than low-light, it was closer to no light.

But no 3D or 7D yet

More info on DP Review & Rob Galbraith.

EF-S 18-200 Lens, PowerShot SX110 and a whole bunch of Powershots (including a pink one )...

UPDATE: DP Review has a hands-on preview here.

To me the biggest part of the news is this snippet "...and that the 5d replacement would come at Photokina."

More info here and here.

Well, spent this afternoon shooting the back story and back fill for PJEFC's Project Harvest Musical. Shall not spill the beans or the plot here but the following is a bit of behind the scenes action with all our studio lights blazing! Surreal!

Was too busy yesterday going to meetings, making important phone calls and trying to finish up more photo processing so this post kinda slipped by me. Anyways, Five, yes, FIVE years ago, August 20th marked the launch of the DSLR that I think changed the entire Digital Camera landscape. Whether you are a Nikon fan, Pentax or Olympus fan or not it doesn't matter but it was the first DSLR that mortals like me could afford without taking out a bank loan! I'm talking about Canon's EOS-300D (press release link). Well, it was my first DSLR and while I know I traded it up for a 20D later, it still went with me to Perth, Western Australia and boy I remember the slow start-up time and limited burst but hey, it made up for it by creating so many fun shots I can't imagine the trip without it. Here's when I bought it!

Anyways, here's another person celebrating on the 20th. My cousin Alice. Happy happy birthday and don't fall off your bike

Had a really long day covering this wedding but in the end, it was absolutely worth it! So much energy, fun and joy that it was impossible not to get some of it on you even though you're chasing people down to photograph them!

This time by Kong Weng while I was batch processing about 150+ photos and assembling the 'Our Big Day' Slide show. I look more relaxed now since at this moment the photo was taken, the slide show was almost completed.
