Shades of Gray

Inspired by some stunning black & white shots at DPS, i thought i would have to give myself a try too.
I was pretty excited to try it myself so i fixed my usual DIY studio with only the natural available light inside our room as a main and only lighting. With my D40 kit, here are some incamera black & white shots of stuff i grabbed from our kitchen and bedroom.

Cooking delight

Last Sunday night, the hubby and I had a cooking bonding. As a rookie in the marriage realm, we’ve been on a quest of discovering and experimenting new menu on the list. Last night, we decided to cook some food we usually eat at restaurant. Were both not good in cooking since it was not really an event for us while we were single, but hey, we manage to eat what was done by ourselves. His menu was a copycat yellow mee “Filipino style” that we normally eat during snack at a nearby restaurant at the office. While I managed to cook some sort of a copycat menu too; a seafood – vegetable mix, I don’t know how to call it; I just remember eating it somewhere. Though it was not a classy and lavish menu, we’d really enjoy the food, and most especially the bonding time together. I hope we could find time to do this once again.

My Sentiment

No it’s not what you think…it’s the bottle of sentiment by escada. Taking advantage of the natural light passing thru our bedroom window, I put up a DIY mini studio to serve me this still shot. With a chair parallel to the window and a black cloth as a back ground plus an A4 size paper as reflector, I fired these shots. I’ve been chasing light and still learning to utilize natural lighting before heading for strobes.

Going Natural

An empromtou model shoot. I was not at all keen on shooting her, we just have to for some reasons. But she's got the looks, i like her cute inocent face that's why she landed her. I did asked for her name but it was quickly wind off my mind. As the title says, its all natural; natural lighting plus the model's natural beauty without wearing any make up at all.

Sungei Congcak

Back in KL again. Was up for a road trip to Sungei Congcak Recreational forest last weekend with the members of KL Pinoy. 


Sungai Congkak Recreational Forest is located in the district of Hulu Langat, Selangor. From Cheras, head north on the Hulu Langat road (B52) towards Pangsun and Dusun Tua. The Sungai Congkak Recreational Forest is about 13km down this road. Alternatively, you can also take the Ampang road towards Ampang Tasik and go uphill towards Hulu Langat .

You can also take public tranportation. From Kuala Lumpur, take a City Liner bus No 572 in front of Metro Jaya to Kajang town. Then, catch a taxi either in front of Billion Shopping Centre or infront of Plaza Metro Kajang to take you to Sungai Congkak recreational Forest. For more info click here.

Well, It was great meeting kabayans here in KL. Not so much to show. I was not ready for the photo opt at all but here are some shots.

It was my first long exposure with water creating dreamy effect.

All good things come to him who waits

All things will come along in God's perfect time. It's not too soon, it's not too late it's just in time. Patiently waiting for something is a hard fact. It's a test of patience and faith. How long? How far? Should I endure? Should I give up? Yet your reward lies ahead...The reason why God puts us in a hanging situation is to test us. And the out come of the test lies on how we face those situation. It maybe a crown of life or a thorn of life.
