Canberra Trip - Floriade part 2

On this trip, I borrowed my dad's camera (Canon EOS 5D) and put the 50 mm lens (F 1.4). All images are made using this camera. Love the bokeh !

Canberra Trip - Floriade part 1

This year's Floriade show is not as good as the year before.

Wonder why, maybe lack of budget? Anyway, I only in the park for only half an hour before it closed, but still managed to take some flower photos. Some other photos from Canberra will be shown in another post, so here are the one from the show. Enjoy !

























To be continue part 2 (tomorrow). And 1 more thing, I managed to break 1 precious camera. Tell you all next time :)

Shooting my first wedding ever

This coming Saturday 27/09/08, I have a chance to shoot a wedding with Foto Expression.

It is the main photographer brother's (Wiki's brother - Wilson) wedding so you know the pressure is there and I will have to push for every effort to be the best.

I am really looking forward to this assignment and very thankful to Wiki for giving me chance to develop my skill especially in wedding photography.

Mean while why don't you take a look at FE's Blog and enjoy fantastic photos taken by Wiki and team.

PS : A subtle change of blog interface. Do you notice?

PSS : Went to Canberra last weekend (20/9/08) to see Floriade but this year's show is not that good, luckily we also went to Cockington Green Garden where the miniature stuffs are on display and exploring the sides of Lake Burley (between War Memorial and Parliament House). Photos will be posted tonight.

Edge of South Head, Watson's Bay

Various photos from the edge of South Head, Watson's Bay.

Wondering how those people could climb down to the rocks below, I really don't have any idea at all, there must be some secret way to do it.









The lighthouse is still working despite empty and locked. See the light is still on.

Self e-session @ Watson's Bay

I always dream someday someone would come to me to do their e-session. Unfortunately, that does not happen yet. So, what better way to do e-session other than to myself? Hahaha. Yes , it's a bit shameless but really it is a lot of fun.

I tried doing it by using the camera self timer and put the camera on a warning sign. Focus can be hit and miss especially when using the 50/1.4 lens. Below are the successful attempts. I am just thinking I will have to do this thing at other places as well to get nice backdrops and getting 1 good tripod.

For now there is only 4 photos.

Starting with the self poses :





Here comes the e-session photos :









This is the warning sign that hold the camera :)



So do you like what you see? Interested in doing e-session with me? I am planning to have some e-sessions (free of charge). Anyone interested just leave me an email @ achristianto83@gmail.com

Thanks for looking. I like comments so please leave 'em below. Thanks again :)

Sydney Skylines from Watsons Bay

We went to Watson's Bay last Saturday 31/8/08. Enjoyed the view and the place although it was cloudy all day. Nevertheless, Sydney skylines are still gorgeous and I think I have done good work on these photos. What do you think? Any comments below are welcome.

Below were taken from the Watson's Bay beach (the one with Doyle's Seafood)







This is from inside the seafood shop :



This is from further point towards Lady Bay Beach :





Lastly, from the parking spot :
