Nice Studio Shots ^^

some nice studio shots i found on the internet ^^ so cute so cute!!! shooting animals is really difficult (i know because i try to paparazzi my pets all the time -.-) those who shot for SPCA will know too =) the challenge is always: how do you get them to stay still?






cos sometimes they'd move and it becomes like this, the kitteh is a bit not sharp...


this one is quite ultimate... how do you ask the kitteh to "er, excuse me, can put your paw on the bunneh? give him a pat on the back... ah ah like that... ya ya correct... stay there ha... ah both look here, ya!" i guess it's just a lot of waiting then they suddenly do something cute =)


how do you tell the bunny on the left to raise left ear, bunny on the right to raise right ear ha? teach me leh...


props helps sometimes i guess


bunneh: er oei, gib me the cawwot.
puppeh: my mummy says cannot talk to strangers neh...

awww... you'd know when you click at the right moment =)


kitteh: eh... you trying to impersonate me isit?
bunneh: *act blur live longer*

or how about an outdoor shoot? ^^

V for...

Vanessa's birthday...

this morning i received an SMS from Ellie No. 35:

"Hi ms koh! today is van's birthday. we'll be celebrating it at 1.45 at the same place we celebrated angeline's birthday if you wanna come. Free cake too! Thanks!"

so at 1:40pm i walked out of my office... then i suddenly realised their lesson ends at 1.45 so i gostan went back... periodically look see look see from my window to check if they're there... saw zheng hui...

1.56pm... SMS ellie

me: cutting already?
ellie: not yet. almost

so i went down and i saw PPC on the phone, van's back facing me... PPC made a face. he tried to wink but made it look like got something blow into his eyes... he was trying to say "don't blow the cover!" cos i guess van doesn't know...

PPC: *holler into the phone* oei! you better quickly come now and settle with vanessa! is it $180 or $200!!! her dad is here to pick her up already....

hehehe... he is such a good actor...

i secretly SMSed ellie...

me: vanessa here already neh....

PPC made another face to say "act normal, small talk small talk"

me: oh... er... later you meeting erfi right? seeing college day video... i also want to see =D
PPC: ok lah come lah...

then suddenly from behind....

happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you.... hehehe... the cake arrived with ellie, Zheng hui, vicky, shirleen and chin chai...

ellie: DURIAN cake!!! =DDD
me: AAAAHHHHHH!!!! -.- no need cut for me
vicky: me too, i can't eat...
me: you CAN'T, or you DON'T WANT?
vicky: don't want ^^
me: hehehe... i am allergic to durian
someone: ha? what will happen?
me: i will get upset -.-
someone: like that also can call allergy ah...

van proceeds to cut cake...

me: oh oh... camera camera take photo take photo!! got camera???
angeline: don't have...

-.- we are MJC photog club but always like that one... shoot for other people that time all the tua tua liap (tua tua liap means "big big liap" ah ya i don't know how to translate liap la...) lens come out, then when we need to shoot for ourselves, no camera LOL so bo pian, shoot w my lousy i-phone camera...




it's my first time seeing people use A4 paper fold in half for the cake =P

PPC: eh... if the ink melts ah, it's carcinogenic you know?
me: *gasp*
PPC: =DDDDDD kidding kidding =DDDDDD

vicky made a really cute card for van... i think it looks like a superhero logo... i'm sure if van wore a matching-coloured outfit and stuck the card on the front, she can totally fly... on it are little triangles/quadrilaterals (ah, you all don't laugh... how else would u describe the geometrical shapes on the card???) for us to each write our birthday wishes...

vicky looked perplexed... she count count count the shapes on the card, count count count the number of people... eh... correct what but how come got one empty triangle...? who haven't write???? >.<




me: mumtaz?
vicky: *point* neh
me: hm...
vicky: AAHH!!! VA.... *whisper* i counted vanessa... >.<|||

ROFLMAO

while eating the cake, we teased angie cos someone did very sweet thing for her... again... AAAAWWWWWWWW... sho shweet...

PPC had to zhiooop back to club room to meet erfi...

(can u see the A4 paper holding the cake? =P)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY VANESSA =)

While your were at Studio Days ........

Contrary to popular beliefs(Tks to JS), I am not able to attend Studio Days 2 because I was infected with H1N1.

I was not sick in bed at Tan Tock Seng nor been quarantined at Aloha. I have been to Phuket Thailand a few days before Studio Days 2.

Anyway Phuket was great fun and I shot quite a bit of photos there and I am here to share some pics with you ppl. Some of u might have seen some in my fb pages but here goes :

Airasia everything budget, emergency demo also must budget.

As a Electrical Engineering Student to be, I am amazed at how they wire the place.

We were greeted by a beautiful sunset on our first visit to the beach.








After 6pm, the streets is transformed into a Night Life haven for the party animals.






The next morning after 5am, the parties are over and the ppl goes back to their lumber. Then the cleaners will come onto the streets to clear the mess the parties have created.


This is taken at 9am and this is how empty the streets are.


So I went to their wet market to take a look. Guess what they are just starting to set up their stalls....









Last day liao and it was raining cats and dogs, but rain is not going to stop me from shooting so I went out onto the streets to shoot.



The best bowl of noodle I have eaten there in the cold rain.



And finally Home Sweet Home :)



Enjoy :)

Conclusion of Studio Days 2

Studio Days 2 has come to a conclusion last friday, thank you those who have signed up SD2, and to the J1 exco who have come down specially just to open the club room for us. It has been an especially exciting few days for me, because I got to try some new studio techniques, became a model (just for the sake of new FB profile pics) and JOEY KISSED ME!!! Hahahahaha okies okies...

That's all from me actually...

I hope the Studio Days series will inspire you guys to venture into studio photography, don't be intimidated by new equipment you're unfamiliar with, because they are really easy to use (really la!) and hopefully next time you guys will have your own creative studio experiments.

Have a good day!

One more thing, if anyone wants to find out more about studio stuff, feel free to reach me on MSN or through email at ngjunsen@gmail.com. Thanks to those who turned up for Studio Days II and made it a successful one!

Studio Idea [ ( In case u are running out !) (and some rumbling)]

Tales of the Fallen Princesses and their life after happily ever after....

Hey yo peeps at Studio Days :) Last day already ? Sad I couldn't be there as I just came back from a land suspected to be infected with H1N1( and sexually confused humans). Unless anyone wants to skip Mid-years or work, u can try looking for me :) Actually I past-by the school yesterday while walking home from Ikea and really felt like going in but I love your too much and don't want u ppl to get sick so in the end I resisted. Sniff Sniff ! ARHHHHHHHHHHH!

Anyway, I chance upon this cool studio idea when surfing the net this morning. Its about story telling in a studio :) This one for example is what the Fairy Tales Princesses were doing after the story ends happily ever after(or not ?).
