During one of my trips to Singapore, I brought my camera there. I stayed in Clarke Quay, one of the most happening places in Singapore currently. One fine Saturday I bumped into this daredevil show in the middle of busy Clarke Quay, The Impalement Cage! The star of the night is Magic Babe Ning. Who? […]

I have a big problem while shooting the Bagan Lalang project a while back. Most of the sky were of dull grey, with no noticeable details like clouds etc. (There is a lot of dust though, but that’s because my sensor is dirty! :P) Have a look at this picture:
Fun in Bagan Lalang

Where the heck is Bagan Lalang! That was my initial question when Wei Ching popped this place for me. It’s somewhere near Sepang, and there is beach over there. I never knew that Sepang has a beach! Wei Ching and I were discussing of a place where we can go for our outdoor bikini shoot. […]

I know it’s kinda late to be talking about a Chinese New Year that has passed for almost half a year. But I thought I’d share the pictures out, since I’m compiling all the pictures now anyway. Of course, no celebration is complete without the inclusion of my family members. So here again I show […]

Had the opportunity to work on a couple who are getting married this weekend in Pantai Remis. I did their wedding dinner in Equitorial Hotel, KL last week, which was intended for the couple’s friends who are not able to travel all the way to Pantai Remis to attend that wedding.

I have got a strange request from my colleague. She just came back from Hong Kong and she has taken lots of pictures in Disneyland. However to her dismay, in some important pictures her eyes were closed! She asked me, can I make her eyes open again? Have a look at this:
How good is the EF-S 17-55 mm f/2.8 IS USM?

I have acquired the top of the range lens (currently) for the Canon’s cropped body despite every cell with a sense of financial intelligence in my body protesting against it. It’s a bloody expensive lens, and I’m still paying it with my blood and sweat. It’s a really painful purchase which still resonance till now.
Correcting white balance and exposure for a portion of an image
Posted: 4th October 2007 by Jacky Yong in Computers, Photography, Silly meMore often than not, I encounter pictures taken in very difficult lighting conditions that forced me to compromise. I recently took pictures of a bunch of models in a dark pub. Not an easy task I tell you. Flash was used extensively. And because my flash was not properly colour corrected, the colours of their […]
Flashing is undeniably one of the toughest variable to control in photography. Being a newbie handling a flash unit, I encounter a lot of obstacles and errors, resulting in very bad pictures, from a technical point of view. If you remember one of my earlier posts, I did mention that dialing a high ISO in […]
