Wedding Project: Izwanis & Shahril

Each wedding project has unique challenges. In this Izwanis & Shahril wedding project, my limitations were the space and lighting. The indoor space or room is only about 4 x 7 metres for me to manoeuvre the angle without stepping on any of the guests. The lighting was not that great either in-door or out-door as all the in-door walls were painted orange and the out-door was low in sunlight and most of the time it was raining. This is one of my unique experience in photography.

I have tried my best to use what is available and these are the moments to share with everybody. Thank you to Izwanis and Shahril for their permission for me to upload these photos on my blog.

As the walls were painted orange and the dress colour was either white or orange too, these affected the skin tone, thus, the skin has a tint of orange colour. All photos presented here have to be processed to reduce the contamination of orange.

The second day was rainy, low light, very grey and quite wet. A challenge for out-door shooting as the lens and the camera have to be kept dry most of the time. Lens cleaning cloth, clean cover cloth and plastic bag were handy for this task.

The out-door shooting was around 6 p.m., no more sun light supporting the shooting. In addition to this, the location which is a 'reserve forest' make the location much darker compared to other places such as the beach. Anyway, we managed to capture the interesting and romantic emotion.

Nevertheless, (I think J) the important moments were captured for the bride and groom….. Congratulation to Izwanis and Shahril..... Enjoy the moments….

Converting Bedside Table to a Portable Wash-Stand (IKEA Hack)

What to do if a ready made furniture is not able to fit in the space that is available? Your choice will be either build a customised furniture or hacking a furniture for a different purpose. Hacking a furniture will cut almost 70% of the work required to build a customised furniture from zero. Here, I share a step-by-step process on one of my DIY weekend projects converting bedside table to portable wash-stand. What will be required for this project? Tools (e.g. saw, metal ruler, hand drill), sand paper and brushes for wood work, base furniture to be hacked, water-resistant paint and metal knob. STEP 1. Get some ideas on the design and materials by visiting several furniture galleries/shops. For example here, the idea was from an IKEA wash basin base cabinet, Lillangen. The material mainly particleboard, which might not be that suitable for Malaysian humidity and bathroom practice. For that reason, I choose solid wood material the project. The dimension of the IKEA...

Before you snap here and there, know your lens first

Oppsss! I think I should introduce the lens, camera parts and photographic terms first before going to image composition. This time, I just want to share and introduce the terms and parts of lens. It is applicable for whatever lenses especially for the DSLR camera. The different will only be the terminology or abbreviation used by the specific manufacturer. Lenses can be categorized to many types such at wide angle, standard, prime and zoom. Each type of lenses have specific features and is used for specific purpose. For example, wide angle lenses are usually used for scenery/landscape and narrow space photography. Each lens will be marked with zooming distance (look at the numbers which ended with mm; see photo bellow). This number will gives you some ideas about the width of view when a photo is captured. A number less that 35mm can be considered as wide angle, the 50 - 55mm as normal lens, and the 75 mm and above as zoom lens. Wide angle lens will highlight the perspective of an ...
