Let’s Go Now! MAS Photography Workshop

Last Saturday, 27th June 2009, I’ve attended the Let’s Go Now! MAS Photography Workshop at Studio V, One Utama..

Well I thought, since I got myself a DSLR I’ve not attended any formal photography seminar nor workshops..So I guess I should register and give it a go..

It’s a workshop collaborated by The Star and MAS..

*The V Studio at Rain Forest, One Utama*

The workshop turned out to be a very basic photography workshop, which I’ve known most of the things from fellow peers..

Just that this session is somewhat formal because it’s a workshop..LOL~!!

The workshop was conducted by Lai Voon Loong, a photographer and videographer for The Star..

*Lai Voon Loong, known as Voon*

So, I was taught and introduced what is shutter speed, aperture, Rule of Third, and, umm, ISO..

Weird enough, the workshop didn’t teach anything about white balance..I was surprise, very surprised..I must say that white balance is one of the fundamentals in photography..

When you know what’s shutter speed, aperture, white balance, and ISO, you are ready to play and learn on your own..

And actually I was surprise that almost half of the attendants really didn’t know anything about shutter speed and ISO, let alone Rule of Third..

*Kristine with her group*

Got to know Kristine was there as well..It’s good for her since she didn’t really know what photography skills is all about, after owning her DSLR for quite some time..

After the workshop, we were given a short period of time to shoot around and submit the pic as a material of a so-called contest..

The followings are my shots and it’s actually not that nice, so I just decided not to submit any of them..

*Merawan Siput Jantan*

Was at the Garden at Rain Forest section and saw this, Merawan Siput Jantan..I thought it’s kinda funny so I snapped a pic of it..

It sounds like this plant will make the male snail to have sex with it..

Merawan is something like mating in Malay..Eh wait, that’s mengawan..LOL wtf..What’s merawan now? LOL~!!

*Go with the flow*

Used slow shutter on the water that flow from top floor to the pond below..

It’s something I wanted to do for a very long time..I just love to play with slow shutter..

*Here’s a candid one*

Jason ass-kicking Dale‘s butt..There’s another pic of us doing the same thing but it’s not in my camera..So yeah..

*Go with the flow number two*

This photo can be quite nice but too bad the water and rocks are out of focused..

It’s time for a tripod or monopod wtf..

*The bright sky*

Snapped a photo of the rooftop of Rain Forest..I actually like the bright sky that forms the silhoutte on the roof and trees..

So these are the pictures and turned out to be the very few viewable ones..Others are either blurry or, blurry..

It’s not my day and I still need lots of learnings I guess..It’s time to pick up and get serious, a lil bit..
