A Lazy Sunday

I haven't made anything with Photoshop for quite a while now. I think it's time to brush up and do some more learning again...

For some reason I really like this photo. It has a certain magic.

Berbedak

Berbedak Ceremony is one of the events lined up to the main event in a Malay Wedding; the Bersanding. Malay wedding consists of a few events; berjarum-jarum, nikah, mandi berbedak, berinai, berbedak, bersanding, malam berambil-ambilan and mulih tiga hari. During the Berbedak, the bride (in this case) wears traditional malay 'jewelleries' depicted in these photos. I have yet to find out what these gears are really called!

This was actually my first time 'covering' a wedding event. I knew in the beginning it was going to be very challenging but I didn't expect it to be this hard. Imagine trying to capture a person's most memorable, treasured and most important moment, I mean, I can't even begin to try to understand how difficult and pressuring that is. But thank god I wasn't there as the main photog, and thank god for the I don't know, maybe 5 other photographers? Yes there were 5 photographers that night, I guess one was the main photographer since he had the most camera gear, all around his waist! The rest were probably his apprentices. I've seen the pictures they took, pretty amazing for apprentices ;)

Would I want to venture into wedding photography? I only agreed to take photos during the wedding cos it was a freind's. But would I want to do it professionally, maybe as a second job? Maybe... But in the meantime... it'll just be friends' until the right one presents itself :)

Happy Host

A Natural @ Striking a Pose!

One of the warm and welcoming hostesses there.

A photo taken during our time at Kg Tamoi. This little girl was shy at first, hiding behind her probably grandmother's kain. Her grandmother told us that she's good at posing but I wasn't so sure since she looked a little reluctant. But as soon as she warmed up, voila!! Need I say more?
