I will be moving out from Blogspot to my own domain at http://www.frozenlite.com. At the moment, the site is still under construction and should be operational by August 2010. Until then, I won't be updating this site anymore. If you would like to see my latest photos please proceed to my Flickr site here. All of my images/photos are copyrighted. If you wish to buy yourself a print, kindly proceed here. If you wish to get a softcopy, all of my images are available for purchase via Getty Images. All you need to do is visit my Flickr page and at the photo page, there will be a link to license the image via Getty Images.
And last but not least, I will be conducting a workshop (hopefully on a regular basis) on HDR and DRI. Details are still being worked out but if you like to find out more about it, drop me a line vedd -[at]- frozenlite -[dot]- com
Many thanks to Awe2020 for bringing Daniel and I to Bagan Pasir, Kuala Selangor. It was quite a party with fellow Flickrites such as ProfKMS, Pjoe, Wan Husmi and sseme. It was a beautiful sunset and a complimenting village.
Had a lovely time going out with great friends last week. Off course it was a photography outing! I was with Daniel, Ariffin and awe2020 taking photos around the As-Syakirin Mosque in the KLCC park. We also did went to Putrajaya for some night shots together. This time around it was kinda special for me - I got myself the lens that I was dreaming about, the Canon EF-S 10-22mm! Wide has a new meaning with this lens, seriously! Couldn't be happier hehe.. All these were shot using the 10-22mm super wide lens.

Well, Daniel is here again KL. Let's see what we can think of next :-)
A continuation from the previous post during Daniel's visit to KL. There were a lot of interesting subjects in that particular abandoned house. I think I'm gonna re-visit it in the morning and hope there will some rays of light poking through into the house sometime soon!
Woaahh... it's been a while since my last update. Well, it wasn't intentional. I found myself somewhat less inspired - thanks to the hazy and rainstorm that occurs almost everyday! It's a really killing my mood of getting that shot of the day!
But when a fellow flickr buddy and a great photographer, Daniel, was in town again, it boosted my enthusiasm again! So, what were we shooting? As the theme suggested - an abandoned house. I've located this particular old and creepy (eerie to be exact) at the outskirts of KL, and said to myself this place is perfect for us! So, on that day, meself, Daniel, Ariffin, Rocket, Ayul and Mr. Nordin head to that creepy place and within minutes, everyone was shooting away!

More pictures to come on Part Two! More picture can also be viewed at my Flickr Site.
Pheww.. it's been a hectic week for me. A wedding covered during the weekends, and most of all is work since it's the time of the year where I need to submit my performance and evaluated by my peers. Anyway, Daniel was back in KL not long ago and this time around we were going around doing long exposures around Putrajaya.
Here some of the shots that I've posted at my Flickr.

Sorry for not updating the blog for a while :-) OK.. Back to editing wedding pictures, since it pays quite a lot :D
This is the second part of the same previous theme.
I was at the Quicksilver Revolution 2.0, with Jibam, Ayul and Ipin. Many thanks to Ipin for his invitation. This is the first part of some photos that I manage to take - Skateboarding! More info can be found at Sunway Lagoon's website.

More pictures of the Quicksilver's event are available at my Flickr. On a side note, I had to put watermarks on these pictures. However, if you want to see the pictures without the watermarks, do proceed to my Flickr.

WoooHoooo!!
The second part will be from the Skate boarders Half-Pipe ramp. I'll update it soon.
Just wanted to try out digital blending instead of the normal HDR processing in Photomatix. Seems like whenever I did HDR processing on water flows with slow shutter, the results were not satisfactory. So this is digital blending done in Photoshop by blending 3 exposures. Hope you like it as much as I do :-)
Refreshed!
Flows
To those who would like to try out digital blending, I would recommend http://www.thelightsrightstudio.com/digital-darkroom.htm. They have pretty neat tutorials and action scripts. Off course I would add some of extra processing on my pictures but the blending tutorial is the base on what I've done.
I was out with a brilliant photographer from Singapore, Daniel Cheong, not too long ago. We had a great time shooting around KLCC and some parts of KL overlooking KLCC. He wanted to do some "BladeRunner" style photography so I took him around the places where I shot the pictures from the previous post. It was a great outing and experience to go and shoot with him. Please visit his Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/danielcheong.
The photographer, Daniel, himself. He's camera shy, like me and like the idea of taking picture of us from behind :D

Also,I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a great 2008 dear friends! All the best!
I think it's better that I go by theme for each entry from now on. Not that I don't have anything to write, but a picture will talk even more :-) So here's the theme for this particular post - anything related to decadence and abandon :-) For this particular theme, I went out with Ipin to Glenmarie for an abandoned complex. The next session was taken at what used to be the Sungai Buloh Leprosy Center. On this particular outing, I was joined by Ab4h and Marjan - Marjan has a very funny approach at telling this particular adventure, available here. :-)

Escape is through here. This is the basement parking of the abandoned complex in Glenmarie.

For this particular theme, I processing my images mostly as HDR and processed in Black & White. I think HDR and Black & White makes the best tones :-)
There'll be more photo outing soon with the guys, so if you wanna join, drop me an email or a comment :-)
I have no clue on what to write on this entry. So instead, I'll let the pictures do the talking, in no particular order. There must be reason when people say, a picture is worth a thousand words :P Anyway, how was your Aidil Fitri? Mine was good, considering that I'm spending my very first Aidil Fitri with junior. It's just a complete thing :-)
How do you start your day eh?

Photographing the photographer. No that's not me :P
Attendance: Ex-MySEQ Geeks :-) Ex-colleagues, friends from the previous company where we worked in the field of information security. A big thanks to Atoi who organized this (and sponsoring the bills). I guess this entry will not require any form of narration - you'll get the idea when a bunch of geeks hang out with free flow of food, drinks and cigarettes haha..
WARNING: Post is full of pictures and may load a bit slow.
