I just got the opportunity to test out clone photography, which is basically taking a picture of multiple copies of a person in a single scene.

The setup was using a tripod, set the camera to Manual (manual mode, manual focus, and no auto WB). And work it out in Photoshop with the masking function.

Remarks: one central light source (for a constant level of brightness) and beware of two clones occupying the same space.

This time i had the opportunity to try a Nikon D300, with a very flexible lens 18-200mm, and it was a nice experiance. It was my first time using a Nikon, i had to take some time to get use to the firmware and the half press AF.

I am nothing profesional to comment or give any detailed comparision, but i could just said that it has a faster frame rate and heavier than the Canon 400D.

ISO 100 - 1.3s, 4s, 6s, 8s, 13s - f/8 @ 28mm

Location: Ocean Terminal, Tsim Sha Tsui

This is my second time at the Ocean terminal car park during the same month, and this time is for the CNY firework. Just before the firework start, i took some time to take some HDR pics.
The sky wasn't that clear, that's why i have some interesting orange color.

Having this opportunity with all the equipment set-up and with a great view, i just couldn't resist taking a panorama on the famous Tsim Sha Tsui and Hong Kong Island night view.

By the way, night panorama is alot easier to merge!

Happy New Year! Feliz Año Nuevo! 新年快樂!

This is my first time in many things, such as taking firework pics, using shutter cable, black paper for mirror lock and its been a long time that I haven’t stayed outside in the freezing night and crowded TST port to watch the 4 minutes countdown firework show. It was great tho!!
Thanks for Wilson giving this opportunity to us and thanks ah Chung for getting such a great location for the shoot.

Lantau Trail

ISO 400 - 1/320sec - f/2.8 @ 70mm

Location: Lantau Trail, Lantau Island

I like this pic mainly because after so many attempt with my limited cheap lens portfolio, I've be able to take one picture with such a great bokeh (its look like a real circle and not elliptical).

I though I will never be able to take one of this pic if I am not upgrading my equipments to the pro level. But of course, if I use L level lens, I think it will look a lot smoother and wouldn't be that hard to take.

Alison & Quentin

So finally, I have the opportunity to shoot at a wedding banquet. The wedding of Alison and Quentin, and they are one of the funniest couples that I ever met.

The event was like a true man show, both of them were very happy and they didn't hide anything.

I can feel their sincere gratitude and their speech was just straight out without a second thought, just like always!, that's why is so funny!

They were also brave, they sang in front of so many people, something that they never have an opportunity to do!!! (Although didn't hear much of Quentin singing...haha)

Hope u two the best, and Quentin don't forget what ur mom tried to tell u in the next day, Add OIL!!! Haha! :)

Technically: I've always wanted to try on the "Macro", but never had a chance to lay my hand on one of those macro lenses. Though, using a zoom lens, i tryed to take some macro pics. and here is one of them.

Cathy and Tuen Ching @ King's College

I am lucky having this opportunity to be able to participate in a pre-wedding photo of Cathy and Tuen Ching. We took the photos at King's College, a nice place with the classical structure of grey granite columns and the red bricks walls.
I could feel Cathy and Tuen Ching were very enthusiastic, they were all the way in an automatic mode posting without any embarrassment maybe they had some experience at Taipei.
It was a lot of fun and I had learned a lot .Also, the occasion wasn't that great if Eric didn't come with us, providing those professional equipments and guidance. Thanks to Wilson and Eric.

Technically: This time I did a bit more of photo re-touching, adding some vignette and soft-focus effects.
