Now I know why my neighbour felt they have overpaid this photographer

I should never have introduced this photographer who claims to have years of experience. My neighbour felt that his teenage son can do a much much better job.

These were given to the client (my neighbour). All these 17 pictures taken in less than 2 minutes. There is a series with more than 10 shots in 30 seconds but I cannot show them as my neighbour's face is in it.

Moral of the story. Do not believe what a photographer tells you. Take a look at his/her portfolio!!!

Running a workshop - to do or not to do

Started discussion months ago with two friends on getting getting a workshop to teach people basic photography.

Well, it was a start, stop, start, and now I have to stop, for now, due to other work commitments.

The thing is, there are so many schools, workshops, seminar, etc that are in operation in Malaysia. More often than not, I hear of complains. To me, if I were to start one, it has to be better than others, more tips and more  sharing.. Rather difficult, as basic is basic. So, back to the drawing board to ensure that the contents are right, the delivery is right, the hands-on session is right, the practical feedback is useful, etc, etc.

So, akan datang!!!

Autumn in Kuala Lumpur

Sometimes, a point and shoot camera (in this instance, it is a Panasonic LX-3) does a better job than a DSLR camera. Why? Don't feel that bad if the cheaper P&S camera were to be scratched when it is at the ground!

This is an image that works when pointed at the light source.

I waited for the guy in red to walk towards me, but since I did not use a flash, the red did not show as much as I would like to. Then the tell-tale KLCC Twin Towers. With that in the picture, need not elaborate further about where the photo was taken.
