Darren And Celine

A promised that was made more than a year ago finally fulfilled. Okay, that sounded a way bit too much. But the reality is that Darren asked me to be his wedding day photographer more than a year back way way before his actual wedding date. Seems like it was requested so so early but now in a glimpse of an eye the event is over.

Okay, that said here are some photographs that I find decent.

Interesting outdoor gown shot. But didn't really have the effect that I want.

History Unfolded

Today Peiwen told me something that I totally forgot.. (or blatantly chose to erase from my memory)

She pointed me back to a blog post I made previously where I wrote..

Think this is one lens that I’m going to like a lot despite it being a manual focus lens. Now … to strike that damn lottery so I can get a Full Frame (D700) camera to use this lens with!

See here for the full posting. (It’s right at the bottom)

Well, I own a D700 now.. but no lottery struck obviously else I’d be blogging about all the great Nikon lens that I’d dream of having such as the 14-24 F2.8, 24-70 F2.8 and the 70-200 F2.8 to name a few. That reminds me of course to invest in lottery more often.

Anyway, don’t know why Peiwen suddenly went and read my old blog posts but I was acting dumb when she mentioned it. Luckily, she said that she doesn’t blame me for getting the D700 without striking the lottery. She blames Darren instead!. hahaha

So Darren, it’s your fault that I own the D700 now. But that said, the D700 has captured your pre-wedding photos and will be capturing your actual day wedding photos this weekend.

P/S: In case anyone is wondering, the 40mm Ultron works great on the full frame D700 and I’m still loving it. And to Darren, no hard feelings.. just a joke.

Johnson And Xuejing

Just gonna be a short post today with a few pictures from the wedding I took recently for my good friend Xuejing and her hubby Johnson.

Xuejing is my secondary school friend so I’ve known her for like more than 10 years already.

Cutting down to the chase, here are some photos from that day.

I like this edit quite a bit.

First Day Out With My Ultron

I bought a new lens recently and only manage to go out for a good run with it last Sunday. I got myself another Voigtlander lens; this time round it’s the 40mm Ultron F2.

A pretty nice lens I must say based on the initial run with it. You can read abit about the lens from Ervine’s Blog. He loaned it from the distributor for a while and took it to his Yunnan photography trip as well as taking some wedding photos with it. You can his thoughts on the lens here.

Anyway, just a few pictures that I quite like.
