The sexy fuchsia tripod at its minimum height</div>
<br />
It was a pleasant surprise from me, as I opened my e-mail account on a recent Friday afternoon. The subject header said: <i>"Congratulations, your shot has won the Best Shot (50mm) for September in the Digital Camera Mag (DCM).</i> Well, it may not be the exact words used, but I was nonetheless elated, AND suspicious. I've received countless spam e-mails in my inbox - this could just easily be one of the many on a different day.<br />
<br />
I then called up the Admin Officer at DCM (Velocity Media) to confirm the e-mail notification: it's true. The single portrait shot of Mr. Subra (the protagonist in my photo story 'The Merchant of Victoria Street') won the shot of the month under said category. I was elated, to say the least. :O)<br />
<br />
So here's the 'sexy fuchsia' tripod I received by courier - I've always been seeing the prize advertised in the mag and wondered how it looked like in real. I love the color (really funky pink!) and it's a fun way to probably accessorize some of my photo gears.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much to DCM for the chance to win this, and to Mr. Choong of Velocity Media for arranging this shipment. I'm really grateful for the win!</div>

It's finally here! After several weeks of waiting for the Advanced Images
Photography magazine (Issue 62, Aug' 12), I received my copies of the mag,
courtesy of the editor just this Monday. It's been a fruitful workshop for me personally <span style="color: white;">(</span><a href="http://shutterspeed9.blogspot.com/2012/07/merchant-of-victoria-street.html" style="color: white;">I attended the Advanced Visual Story Telling Workshop by Justin Mott in July</a><span style="color: white;">) </span>- seeing your work in print makes all the effort worthwhile, I think..<br />

A moment to reflect: Uncle Lee's business relies quite a bit on the weather - if the skies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
are clear, he'd be able to produce more joss-sticks. If it's cloudy skies, he might have to call it a day,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
thus limiting the number of joss-sticks he could produce, and ultimately, affecting his income.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's been awhile since I last went walking around the streets of George Town for photography. So, on last Monday, I did what I've been missing all the time. On a bright Monday morning, I met 'Uncle' Lee at his shop off Stewart Lane in Penang. In fact, the shop is just a stone's throw away from the Goddess of Mercy (Kuan Yin) temple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I started chatting with Uncle Lee after introducing myself; he told me how he has been living at the exact shop house for over 70 years. The house, in fact, does not belong to him. According to him, the house belongs to a local businessman and philanthropist, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeap_Chor_Ee"><span style="color: white;"><b>Yeap Chor Ee. </b></span></a>For my fellow Penangites, you might have heard of this gentleman, or even familiar with the road that was named after him. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
From my conversation with Uncle Lee (who is over 80 years old), he is proud of his joss-stick making legacy as his joss-sticks are meticulously handmade using imported Australian sandalwood, a stark contrast from the mass-produced (by machines) joss-sticks that are widely used in Chinese temples. I took a whiff of the joss-sticks, and the smell was really pleasant. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, this is just the beginning of a mini personal photography project I'm embarking on. I spent almost 2 hours with Uncle Lee on that morning but I know, my photographic journey on this has just started. I appreciate him allowing me to take a peep into his life; how he struggles against the commercialized world, how is aged body and eyesight are slowly but surely taking their toll, and how to live in dignity despite hardships. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He told me sometimes tourists or visitors would hand him several ringgit as a form of donation, but being a proud man, he refused. I can see he wants only to rely on himself, and not wait for hand-outs from others.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I respect his resilience and honesty, and I hope to be back again someday soon to have a chat with him as I watch him roll the sandalwood dough into miniature joss-sticks. And at the same time, I would have my camera ready with me as I document this legacy.</div>

This was taken quite early into my photo assignment, and I believe at that time, I have not even seen his actual face yet! In fact, I thought Mr. Subra was one of the workers in the shop! </div>

<span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">We completed our Advanced Visual Story Telling Workshop with Justin Mott last Saturday morning (14th July) with a simple presentation of our personal project. The past 3 days have
been anything but simple actually - for me, getting to know a total
stranger and persuading him to allow me to peep into his world for 3
days. Thank you, Mr. Subramaniam! And if you're keen to have a look at the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3013748642993.101121.1840863616&type=1">FB posting, do click here.</a><br /> <br /> And oh by the way, the photos are
meant to be viewed this way; from the first to the last photo. Just like
every photo has its meaning, the sequence in presenting our photos also
play an important role. I learnt this from Mr. Justin Mott, our
workshop teacher/tutor. Thanks again, Justin.. :)<br /> <br /> p/s: Was
searching for a suitable name for the project's title..for some funny
reason, I had 'Constant Craving' (a song in the early 90s by singer K.D.
Lang) and really contemplated to name my album that as I also intended
to pay a mini-homage to that song. Anyway, I settled for 'The Merchant
of Victoria Street' - a spin from the famous literary classic ('The
Merchant of Venice') as I looked through Mr. Subra's biz card again and
saw the word 'saudagar' (merchant in Bahasa Malaysia). Haha..I think I
found my 'moment' then.. :P</span></div>

In a few blinks, we're already in July. I shot Bihzhu's gig in Hotel Penaga, Penang in March but it seemed like yesterday. Thanks to Bihzhu, here's her testimonial for shutterspeed Photography.<br />
<br />
It's always good to do something you like, and having someone appreciate the work and effort you put in, that's easily one of the best feelings in the world!<br />

One of the things I liked about this gig was of course music photography (which is hard work + fun all rolled into one!), and meeting familiar faces in the crowd.<br /><br />It was sometimes like a walk back into primary and secondary school, and instead of meeting at the school canteen during recess, we come together this time for the love of music :O)</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>shutterspeedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00275321061406323948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064774165127319380.post-27494388523403154392012-02-07T22:22:00.000+08:002012-02-07T22:23:22.379+08:00Happy Thaipusam!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg59LIrlWkACz0NEK8YPaXql6Otp4V94meUjolAniSIEdOW1n3LejRHXRCX2h6za4Brm7lipiueu3uEs5PQM32JZdLOAdRVBOB59U3Trw7nbvJWi7fSv8Pmj3hLrXsaW1ey7IXQzOqJAPY/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display: block;

The Korean skies get dark pretty early (around 5.30pm plus) as compared to ours here. There were scores of tourists trying to catch a glimpse of the famed rock formation. I read that one might need some imagination to identify the dragon but for me, the Dragon Head stood out majestically against the crashing waves from the beginning, all the while being illuminated by yellow spotlights.<br /><br />We spent 2 nights in Jeju island, and it was quite a refreshing pace, although on the second day we were climbing up the 180m high <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seongsan_Ilchulbong"><span style="color:#ffff33;">Seongsan Ilchubong</span></a><span style="color:#ffff66;">,</span> also known as the Sunrise Peak.

If I recalled correctly from what I read in N Seoul Tower's Teddy Bear museum, the bear won as she was patient and followed the rules set upon by the God. She was then turned into a human, and bore children (with bear ancestry) when she married. </div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">Seoul has been interesting to say the least, and very cold especially on our last few nights (-10c) on the night before we came back. Shopping along Myeongdong was a real challenge with the winds numbing your move and the occasional hopping into shops provided some much-needed respite.

For me, I think it is.. :) Imagine marrying an European or Latin American? Then you could possibly add on to the growing list of languages you're able to roll your tongue to..<br /><br /><strong>'Serene waves'?<br /></strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ningbo"><span style="color:#ffccff;">A quick digging around the internet and I found this:<br /></span><br /></a>Ningbo (Chinese: 宁波; pinyin: Níngbō ; Ningbo dialect: Nyinpou is a seaport city of northeastern Zhejiang province, Eastern China. Holding sub-provincial administrative status, the municipality has a population of 7,605,700 inhabitants at the 2010 census whom 3,089,180 in the built up area made of 6 urban districts. It lies south of the Hangzhou Bay, facing the East China Sea to the east. Ningbo borders Shaoxing to the west and Taizhou to the south, and is separated from Zhoushan by a narrow body of water. </div></div><br /><br />The first character in the city's name (宁 or 寧) means "serene", while its second character (波) translates to "waves". Together, the name literally means "Serene Waves".<br /><br />Love finds you in many ways and in Josh’s case, he found his beautiful bride, Ying Qiao among the waves of people in the People’s Republic of China!<br /><br />And serene waves? Hmmm....as I continue with some deep self-reflection, I wave this cute couple a sincere good bye for now. May you lovebirds make waves and sail through them!<br /><br />Ok ok, enough with the waves now - I hear you.<br />So, <em>arrivederci!</em><br /><br />Hah! :O)shutterspeedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00275321061406323948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064774165127319380.post-72814405271614345592011-11-01T11:04:00.006+08:002011-11-01T14:29:11.115+08:00This is our now, this is our forever: Josh Oon & Ying Qiao<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJlxkJ5k-8xVU7iQATRA90wjB4WMB6pAgeK8coFbCcXJS5rOAJpX1vWOKnmWcGYp3XF2lAAyyqUGZpQ_0D7uRV78HLeawbX19FX2C6wdsJWJaGYVmOyfGUyMDjvleBc3sm56z-DDcOBqM/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The Hong Kong singer came for a cameo appearance at Gurney Plaza without much fanfare to meet his fans and promote his 'Around The World' concert.<br /><br />I personally know his hits (being a fan of his earlier 'breakout' songs especially), and was glad to be able to see him live in person. He sang only one song<span style="font-style: italic;"> ('Meng Ngang')</span> - definitely saving all up for his upcoming concert in Sunway Beach, KL.<br /><br />Shooting Justin was quite a breeze, to be honest. No jostling of positions/angles with other members of the media - good understanding and respect for one another. I particularly liked it when Justin Lo was also very casual with the media, and there were a few times he gazed at me in between the autograph-signing session. Managed to get a few shots of him looking and smiling at my camera, and happy to share one of the photos here :O)<br /><br />Caps/hats off to you, JLo!

I was there to join in the crowd, sometimes weaving in between takes, looking for a shot or two.<br /><br />Here are some of my favorites from that day, and I was very glad to see a familiar face in the crowd: a young peacock dancer I photographed last Ponggal. I couldn't tell if she recognized me or not, but that sweet smile of hers is unmissable.

Prior to the start of the show, I was informed about the songs which I could shoot (by the concert organizer): it was not the 'first 3 songs or songs at the halfway of the show. In fact, it was as random as you could imagine. If I recalled correctly, it was something like 'song #3, #10 and #12', or even '#4, #9 and #12' - whatever the list was, I just took it in my stride.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Initially I tried a few test shots to get the 'feel' and exposure as right as possible. I (almost) always shoot in Manual Mode, and with a few combinations locked on, I was ready to roll.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><strong>Stage lighting:</strong> Wonderful layers of lights and with the introduction of some LED lights, it brought a different dimension to the stage. Thanks to the generally well-lit stage, I had the liberty to increase and decrease the depth of field in most shots.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Washes of blue, green and red interspersed across the stage with some liberal usage of the smoke machines. Jascha Richter (lead vocalist) was the most challenging to shoot among the performers - although the he had a fair amount of spotlight on him, there were many times the shadow from the microphone obscured his mouth. </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">As is usually the case with the drummers, Kare Wanscher was all the way back there surrounded by his kit, thus making it a real challenge to reach him amidst the flurry of hand movements. I opted for the 70-200mm lens, and with some understanding of his rhythms and the light patterns, fired off several continuous frames. </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Mikkel Lentz (lead guitarist), on the other hand, was the most well-lit among the original MLTR trio (and also the bassist). I had 2 cameras on me, and used that advantage to frame tight (focusing solely on him) and used the 17-50mm to include him with Jascha and at times also the bassist (yeah, I know, I need to get this guy's name soon!). I then brought on the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8, and several of my favorite shots from the night was from the 'nifty-fifty' :O)</div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">Just like the <a href="http://shutterspeed9.blogspot.com/2010/12/air-supplys-love-never-ends-world-tour.html"><strong><span style="color:#ffff33;">Air Supply concert</span></strong></a> (last Nov) which <em>shutterspeed</em> was also the Official Image Provider, I had a blast at the MLTR concert.<br /><br />p/s: Aperture was adjusted accordingly between f/2.8 to f/4.0 for most scenes, while with the 50mm, most shots were taken with f/2.0 </div><br /><br /><div align="justify">Note: Photos are used with permission from Star Planet.</div>shutterspeedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00275321061406323948noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6064774165127319380.post-77815438883544205172011-04-24T19:51:00.007+08:002011-05-02T21:18:49.236+08:00MLTR - Live in M'sia 2011 (Part 1)<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOgYKVfySDmBOre5YRz8KGOREV5JafOLhscOnIKK73IR1fsIFz6YfyPb_f5BHohhlXCT2SEwLxcZQ9IsXMmV7HmUcvxwt3909INf8dvXUJQvkdaLqZilg-PL2nQQoMg-6St8HlcsQNQE/s1600/5.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599117126788646418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyOgYKVfySDmBOre5YRz8KGOREV5JafOLhscOnIKK73IR1fsIFz6YfyPb_f5BHohhlXCT2SEwLxcZQ9IsXMmV7HmUcvxwt3909INf8dvXUJQvkdaLqZilg-PL2nQQoMg-6St8HlcsQNQE/s400/5.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>The stage was beautifully lit at PISA for the concert</strong><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599116934698017970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2p_l6nG5SuTsTdObH1NAnd1nq1TVyWY3wEUMX81Z46tD_8kMTugG31SziEXe-V5w7ZvDFl2Kt21IoWFsvn8-OeKRyloNaSPaj_6sdXyxOWLApd8X4AvzueIcON-uvC5guYR1tYJVyJOM/s400/4.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Mikkel Lentz</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8mR1q_xeEcW_2BW1INRP54zd_HvZfsp8_5z9To-sVthl3T7EdN15yN7qBQ9rLe7Zst3ackDTnIc8dgBEPLzlogOaXUQL8eGOXrUGIIC4J_nx8JCcsUeXQ5Yhfc5rl6itFRqxTqBMrAAs/s1600/7.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599116927425660434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8mR1q_xeEcW_2BW1INRP54zd_HvZfsp8_5z9To-sVthl3T7EdN15yN7qBQ9rLe7Zst3ackDTnIc8dgBEPLzlogOaXUQL8eGOXrUGIIC4J_nx8JCcsUeXQ5Yhfc5rl6itFRqxTqBMrAAs/s400/7.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>Kare Wanscher<br /></strong><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599116926113389650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuLWN98KdI7_nKGu4Va3TLgtosTKTymQzXIOW97lRCKNVnY143m_FXK6lFlximMoyYr8jtRtbfURnyUElZztxtDBnEE2-FlEKwN7W_KPo93g45LCBBl2WvfulYbIRGLvO9Cus1ghChyphenhyphenzk/s400/11.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Jascha Richter</strong><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><strong>Date: 22 Apr 2011 (Fri.)</strong></div><br /><br /><div align="left"><strong>Time: 8.30pm</strong></div><br /><br /><div align="left"><strong>Venue: PISA, Penang</strong></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">I recall my teenage years fondly with the group's hits like <em>'That's Why You Go Away',</em> <em>'Sleeping Child'</em>, <em>'Paint My Love',</em> <em>'Someday' </em>and <em>'25 Minutes'</em> - it was almost a certainty to see MLTR on our national TV on a weekly basis.
