Hannah Tan Private Session for Album Launch at Mardi Gras (1-Utama) with Vince Chong
So last week a couple of friends and I headed off to the new club at 1-Utama (Mardi Gras) to check out a private live session from our local star Hannah Tan commemorating her new album launch apparently.
The place was pretty packed, and we got there a bit late, but thankfully I managed to sneak to the front and get some shots in. I started out with a wide lens (17-50mm f/2.8) but it was too wide and not fast enough even open all the way at f/2.8.
So I switched to my 50mm f/1.4 which gave me enough light at f/1.8 and was about the right focal length!
She had back-up dancers, vocalists and a full band (with Alda on bass), it was pretty cool!
This guy was rapping too.
The lights were tough for photography, changing every second or so to a completely different colour...sometimes the same picture would have 2-3 colour casts. It surely made for interesting ambiance though.
I chose to use the available light rather than blasting it all away with high powered flashwork.

A while ago I was at Peter's place to help with his car, which was rather unsuccessful...so I took some pictures instead.
From now on I shall catch up with processing my pictures and uploading them as I am months and months behind. I've been too busy with other stuff lately.
Introducing Pussy and the Pinks.

My Mom’s Garden, Steak & Lemon Cheesecake
Sorry for the lack of updates, was travelling back from uk, then resting, then had to rush to office, then was re-installing OS, finally time to move into the 21st century, gone is Windows 2000, here is Windows XP! I've been using Win2k since the advanced BETA leaked in early 1999.
I took some pics in Mom's garden, mostly as I was teaching her to take macro shots of flowers, so just used those in the garden as examples so she could get the hang of it.
Technically she picked it up fast, but needed some ideas on being more creative, framing the pictures etc as at the beginning she just took the flowers straight on, which is boring!
She got the idea towards the end, here are my efforts anyway..
