So these are the last few shots for Krystal, if you liked these you can check out the Kharu sets too.

These are a mix of urban shots, different processing and colour for different feels.

Due to Krystal being late the first day - Manny kindly gave us a few hours on the second day to shoot Krystal in the morning before she flew back to Bangkok.

We started off again in the earning morning light at KLPac, tried for different feels and looks for the second day.

So back to Krystal it is, somehow I got some steam over the weekend and finished the first day of the Krystal shoot....some nice pics in there. Day 2 is still looming with another 4GB of RAW files to look through.

I expect to be getting back up to date though as processing on this PC is a pleasure rather than a torture..like the old setup. I just need to learn to manage my time better.

These were shot in the abandoned bungalow in KLPac nearer to midday, that's why the light is quite harsh - but I had fun with that aspect. I tried to make this a more emotionally varied set.

It was fun anyway! Mostly shot with Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 for the wider shots and Nikkor 70-300mm VR for the tighter ones.

So I went to Bed with 60 glamarous young people on Saturday night, lucky me eh? Hardy-hardee-haa indeed.

It was hot, sweaty and tiring indeed.

It was certainly a learning experience, interesting to be Paparazzi style for a night - it's quite challenging in a sea of flash heads and elbows to get a decent angle.

Plus inside the club was smoky, hot, packed and very dark - not ideal conditions for photography!

Was good to meet some of the contestants too.

I'll post more about it soon...not that anyone will comment anyway..

BASTARDS! (That's for both my male and female readers so there's no confusion or shouts of inequality).

Here was a few shots I got from the background while it was some other guys turn to shoot, these can be considered interim shots..

This is the first set from the Krystal series, shot at KLPac at 10pm to create long flowing shadows and contrasts between light and dark.

A great time for emotional shots.

The black and white yesterday was just a taster.

I wonder if I'll get any comments with no pictures only words

It's become such a habit to post picture, maybe I've overdosed on pictures this weekend, pictures of females anyway.

Let's just talk about what I did instead of looking at the results for once.

Was back to the office on Thursday and Friday...definately not enjoying the blue skies whilst stuck in my cubicle!

Friday night went for some good Indian food in Bangsar One at Sagar, then onto a local photography magazine TT (DCM), a TT for the uninitiated is a Teh Tarik or Technical Talk session, there are loads of groups that have these kind of meetings.

Basically it's for a group of ______ geeks to get together and talk about their hobby, equipment, techniques, upcoming events and so on (______ can be car/camera/fishing/bird watching/diving etc).

After that a coffee at Starbucks with Paul Tan for his birthday, happy birthday Paul and hope you are enjoying the D80

Saturday morning was off to 1-Utama for a quick lunch and then a chance to shoot catwalk models for the Photogenic contest sponsored by Shong Lee.

This was my first try at shooting catwalk and my first competition.

It was quite fun and quite easy although my compositions were not very creative my technique was decent, I'll post more and some tips on DigiSniper.

Saturday night was a light dinner with KY at the Mee Sua place, then off home to process some pics and sleep early..

Early because Sunday morning..I got up at 8.30am! For an outdoor model shoot, again another first for me, I'm not really good at portrait/model shooting and it's something I really need to work on. So I'm practising and trying to improve.

After that it was off to 1-Utama again for the competition prize ceremony and to collection my consellation prize (I came 10th out of 21 entrants), which is not bad for my first try and I shot without flash..

Got horribly lost in KL after that picking something up, then there was a downpour and the roads flooded...so I got stuck and stressed, by the time I got home it was too late to go to a BBQ I was invited for..so I chilled at home, processed a few of the model shoot pics from the morning, I did ok Need some work on posing the models though.

So that's two firsts this weekend, popped my cherry twice in one weekend!

And today, back to work zz..
