Quick Update #24

Been about 2 weeks since I last updated...
*heh heh*

My past 2 weeks have been really busy...
Like seriously busy...

Parents got a big project during the last week of May (25th-31st)...
And we had to finish up that job by Saturday (May 30th)...
So I was practically at my parents office from morning 'til night for that whole week...
And when I come back at night...
I'm too tired to update...

Last week was church camp (May 31st-June 2nd)...
Got back on Tuesday (June 2nd)...
And slept immediately once I got home~
*hehe*


The next day (June 3rd) had to go back to parents office again...
Needed to rush another job...
Again came back quite late so no time to update...

Then on Thursday (June 4th) slept in 'til it was almost 12pm...
Richard later messaged me on MSN and asked me whether I want to go out for a photography outing at KLCC...
This was a spontaneous decision as we had actually planned to go on Friday from morning 'til night...
But since I have cell group on Friday nights and we wanted to get some night shots of KLCC we decided to go today...
We did, however, go again the next day~ (more on this later)

We arrived at KLCC around 4-5 something and stayed there 'til their parked closed (10 something)!
Their park actually has a closing time =.=ll

Then on Friday (June 5th) went out with Richard to KLCC again for another photography outing...
We wanted to go up to the Skybridge but by the time we got there the earliest tickets available were at 6pm and I had to be back home before that...
So we decided to go to the park to get some landscape shots...

Once we got outside there was this group of Malays (who were also photographers) asked whether we wanted to join them in their model photoshoot~
We were a bit hesitant at first...
But since this was a great opportunity to shoot some "real" models, get to know other photographers around Malaysia, learn some new things, and get some good exposure...
We decided to tag along...

It was a blessing in disguise...
If me and Richard had gone up the Skybridge we would've missed them...
They said they would call us if there is any event or photoshoot in the future~
So it was a good thing we didn't go up the Skybridge~

Another wonderful thing happened that day also...
I was supposed to meet Richard at the LRT station around 8.30am...
But the two of us overslept~ *hehehe*

Since we were running short of time...
Richard decided to take a taxi to the LRT station instead of using a bus...
Once he got into the taxi a conversation started~
It went something like this:

Taxi driver: "You photographer ah?"
Richard: "Ermm... Yeah..."
Taxi driver: "How much you charge for wedding photography ah?"
Richard: *shocked for 1-2 seconds* "Errr... Around RM500..."
Taxi driver: "Oh... Ok..." *gives Richard his name card*

Talk about being in the right place at the right time~
Richard also asked if I want to be assitant photographer~
Should the taxi driver hire Richard...
I would have the chance at wedding photography and get paid at the same time~
I'm praying that I'll get that chance~
It could really kick-start my photography career!
*woots*

Here is one out of over a thousand shots that I took on Friday~
Nikon D90 w/ AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm VR lens, 1/320 seconds @ f/22, ISO 320, EV +1.3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That was just a short summary of my two weeks...
If I can find the time I'll do a more detailed update (not likely to happen XP)...
But I have 3 posts pending at my photoblog and I'm starting work at Pavilion this coming Wednesday...
And that won't leave me much time for myself...
Let's see how it goes la~

'Til then...
Ciaos~
