Bali
I had a great holiday in Bali with my family and some friends last week. It was a moment that I’ve been waiting for, a real good break. The temperature was on the extreme..it somehow felt way hotter there. During the trip, I spotted some good locations for pre-wedding shoots. We may probably work-out a package for destination pre-weddings to this venue in future. Here are some casual shots from my trip..Enjoy.
Hard Rock Cafe collections..
Finger of God ‘Rockin’
The band from Jakarta performing in Hard Rock. There were very good..very versatile in all types of music.
I couldn’t resist checking out his Pedals 
A Line 6 fan…
Kintamani – active volcano
Ubud – lots of skilled craftsmanship work
The famous Babi Guling at Ibu Oka. We’ve tried this dish at other places but none can come close to this place.
A cute puppy along the streets of Ubud.
They sell various crafted kites in Ubud.
Rice Terrace
Temple priest in Uluwatu
We had to constantly look out for monkeys in Uluwatu as they are known to steal anything they can get their hands on…in this case, a spectacle belonging to one of the tourist.
Uluwatu – Sunset
Kechak Ritual Dance
Saw this guy shooting a couple with a Hasseblad in Tanah Lot

Trash The Dress Session many moons ago (with Zach Chin)
Was called by Zach Chin to tag along with him on a Trash the Dress session for a couple a few months back. This may not be up everyone’s alley but it sure is an alternative to normal wedding portraits that has been done out there. It’s been catching up in US, Europe and Aussie and slowly moving it’s way into Malaysia.
It was a really nice day where I can work together with Zach and get into this creative mind BTW.. The old old junkie Honda in the pictures belongs to Zach
Chloe, Kris + Michelle
Today I had breakfast with a friend who is migrating overseas in a few months time. Their 9 month old daughter Chloe was just so adorable. We had a quick shoot in a park nearby for some cute and sweet pictures of Chloe.
Chloe was really cute. Michelle asked her to give a kiss to her toy frog and she did it
It was quite a challenge to get her to look into the camera while smiling. Here’s one finally…
Cyberview Lodge Spa Elegance
A couple of weeks back, Bernard and I did some profile shots for Cyberview Lodge on their new grooming regime for staff.
Here are some of the shots that we did.
The Hot Shoe Diaries: Big Light from Small Flashes
WOW.. Got this as a birthday present from wifey Allison but only arrived last week. She pre-ordered it in December from Amazon. This, my dear readers, is an excellent book to read. If you have not gotten a copy of Joe’s previous book The Moment It Clicks then shame on you 
. This is his second book dedicated to Small flash application. There are also alot of tips and set up on Nikon’s CLS. We (Darren and I.. including Bernie who secretly loves the Nikon altho he carries around his Conan .. opps Canon camera everday and tells everyone how much he loves it) love how easy it is to set up Nikon’s CLS and we use them alot. Joe has this way of writing that even with his many many years of photography, the way he does things are mere suggestion or methods that worked for him, rather than what he says is THE ONLY WAY.
If you have not gotten hold of this book.. Or The Moment It Clicks, please go and get a copy. He is inspiring and also very practical in terms of down to earth ideas and technical know hows.
