An Impromptu Graduation Shoot

Came across this bunch of graduates at the Pandang on Saturday and took a few shots for them.

Night at the Museum

After our session at the Mind Cafe and the brief glimpse of the National Day fireworks, we moved on to the National Museum for a group portrait session.

First up, I set up a single speedlight unit just behind Eugenia and Liyan to light up the arch, David. It also gave the ladies a nice subtle highlight. Unfortunately, I didn't have the equipment to eliminate David's shadow being cast upwards.

In the same set up, I took shots for a few other pals. Here is Aaron and his brother Justin.

We moved on towards the back of the museum. Nothing technical about the lighting for this picture, I was just playing with composition.

Made this fun composition with everyone (except myself) messing around with the headphones.

What exactly is Yangyi listening to?

And more messing around...

I thought it would be nice to do something fierce...

And here's the favorite shot, with much thanks to Yangyi for holding up the speedlight unit on camera left.

Almost like Heroes.

More photos available at my multiply album.

Mind Cafe Madness

Neil was back briefly from Guangzhou and we gathered on National Day for some catching up at The Mind Cafe around Beach Road before heading off to catch a glimpse of the fireworks.

We decided to make our way to the National Museum for a photo shoot. But before that I got Yangyi to hold the flash so I could do some test shots with the Creative Lighting System.

Looking promising, I think. Off to the National Museum! (to be continued...)

First Thai Restaurant

A really good and authentic Thai restaurant that was closed on National Day.
I liked the way they decorated their windows for the holiday.

Here's a close up of the individual window.
