chee-ki

i just collected the first batch of pictures i developed, took with the nikon N5005 SLR camera i just bought.

i consider this batch of pictures as my first experience playing the role of an event photographer. wah... the feeling was shiok! pushing all the way to the front with the super heavy camera in the hand felt totally professional. then snapping picures with the fingers rotating the lens as though i knew exactly what i was doing.

but...

omg, the pictures turned out like shit la. i think i take better pictures with my phone. but then its my first time, so maybe the future batches will turn out better after i am slightly more familar with the mechanics and nature of the camera.

i tried some 'experimental shots' with various aperture and shutter settings, and those shots didnt even manage to develope...

argh... i wonder what went wrong.

on a lighter note, i had the chance to talk to one of the best photographer in singapore today; Mr. Julian. i manage to catch him while he at marina square; he was the guest speaker at the sony's new alpha 100 digital SLR camera launch. its my honour indeed, he is a kind and professional man whom answered my questions in the most humble manner.

ok, i better get back to my work. i shall end off with a quote from julian.

" the true essence of photography is to understand your subject as well as your camera."
