Night Lights

Did these shots 2 weeks ago while I was out with Daniel Lee, when he spotted this bridge that could potentially frame a decent light trail shot. The one thing that caught my eye was the curves of the bridge, which I felt could add on to the slight distortion that was already visible on the wide end of the 17-40mm. The only let down for that shot was the traffic which didn't create any interesting light trails. I then turned around to look for a more interesting perspectives and spotted the junction/turn in the 2nd shot above. With some timing and luck I manage to catch the 4WD coming to a slow stop at the give way sign.
There! Subject...

One thing I didn't quite understand was why there was Bokeh balls bursting out from the street lights. Hmm...

"Double Date Saturday #2"

Another round of "Double Date Saturday", and this time with Daniel and Karen. This week we had Tapas in Leederville, a first time for me, and I have to say...it's pretty interesting! As you can see from the photos, they looked like finger food, but as the presentation was so good, I couldn't help but snap away (shoot).

Dark Jetty

It's been awhile since I've done any landscapes, and to be honest, I was struggling a little. When I arrived at this Jetty, I was a tat disappointed, as there wasn't a lot happening in the surroundings apart from the strong winds kicking up the tides, and two "Jetty Lamps" shinning.

That being said, the last time I did any decent landscapes was when I was still using my 60D Crop. With the new 6D, I was able to really stretch out my shot and get that tiny bit of distortion happening, which makes things more interesting.

Got more landscapes to come!

"Double Date Saturday"

Last weekend was "Double Date Saturday", and the girls decided on Korean BBQ! One of my personal favorites. Sadly, we didn't actually have any BBQ, and instead got soup and lots of side dishes, which isn't all that bad either. This restaurant is called Gangnam (I think), located at Karawara Perth if anyone's keen to try it out. It's not my favorite Korean BBQ restaurant in Perth, but they sure serve up some pretty good dishes!

A shot taken from an overhead bridge during a protest of some sort (Couldn't understand a word!). It's hard to believe that cars are still active in these road conditions.

Another shot of the Protest.

A street performer with a wooden leg. Pretty devastated that my shot didn't capture his wooden leg but this guy was an amazing performer and people couldn't stop crowding in despite the protest happening just across the street.

Here is an attempt to capture the more run down look of Thailand. It amazes me how buildings like these can be seen right next to brand new shopping centers and malls.

Thailand

Here are a few of the street shots I took during my trip to Thailand. Even though I didn't plan to take too many pictures during this short trip, it's hard to resist when every corner seems like an opportunity for a shot. When these photos, I decided to try a cinematic look to see how they turn out. I'm no pro with creating a cinematic look but I have to say I'm pretty happy with these!

Plenty more photos coming out so keep visiting!

Christopher and Yen's Marriage Signing

It was a big day for Christopher and Yen as they officially became Husband and Wife. It was such an exciting day for everyone, and especially so for Christopher and Yen. There were many proud faces around the room as the couple signed their Certificate of Marriage. The vibe during the ceremony was so lifting that I couldn't help but smile the whole time.

I would like to congratulate Christopher and Yen and to wish them all the best as they enter a new chapter in their life.

Welcoming 2014!

As 2013 was finally coming to a close, we decided to spend the night waiting out for the fireworks organised by Crown. It was a long wait but having good company, food and my camera gear definitely made things a lot more interesting. Daniel and I awaited anxiously for the fireworks at 12 Midnight while the girls sat and chatted about how boring Photography can be and the "Perks" of dating Photographers. Pretty sure that made their night!

When welcoming the new year, its simple tradition to give the person next to you a kiss (Alyssa of course) when the countdown is complete, but being the Photographer I am, I got too excited and jumped onto the camera first thing after the countdown and forgot about Alyssa. Poor girl! But lucky for me (and her), the thought came back in time, and the kiss was made.

AND THEN IT WAS BACK TO SHOOTING. The End.

Enjoy the new year everyone.
