Stylist Food....Arty Shots

Oh Boy! my EOS baby is as good as my creativity...ahem! I love it when I could toy with F Stop and bit of zoom here and there to get all these good looking shots of the stylist food serve at one of the railway events. Hungry anyone?

Finally...

I'm back on my photographic track with my new baby EOS 400D, courtesy of my sweet Gordon :) We bought it after I had long been drooling over the EOS 350D (that Gordon uses) and just before my sister's wedding at my parents, 16 March 2008. Oh mine, how exciting it was to be back in control after so much point-and-shoot that really spoils my way of looking at thing and carefully think before action. To also indulge my sore photographic heart, I pampered myself with a 75-300 USM zoom lens (hee heee..excuse excuse) and a smart carrying bag, plus a filter...all to make sure once the torch is lit...the flame lives on well.

My first few hours was at the famous flower market half way to my parents where Gordon and I took turn to play with our new baby and comparing our shot with another friend (who happens to be a journalist). The next challenge was at the actual wedding where Gordon was helping out most of the morning until he was so exhausted from the heat and me took over, roaming the place in flowery dress and high heels! I'm too pretty for the job!!!!!

Next was even better as we drove off to our hideaway paradise at Rayang Island of the east coast in Trat. We found ourselves way too much enjoying the beach, sea and the dogs (playing with them of coz!) and took less than expected amount of shots....hmmmmm

Still, I got a chance to disguise myself as a photographer at a week long event to celebrate the anniversary of our workplace, the State Railway of Thailand, and managed over 700 shots within a week...average 100 shots per day. Let me know if that's a good enough record for a mad amature?

The highlight up to now though is for me to act as a photographer for my office and 3 bosses at the 3rd Greater Mekong Summit, held in Vientiane, Laos PDR where I simply blended in with a flock of journalists and photographers shooting (I like the word) at them Summits (i.e. Mr. PM or President or whatever title that is) and Mountains (er...I guess that should mean ministers :) and Hills (er...perhaps them executives) and ants (us...little people).

Let me know what you think of my (still not quite acquainted with the camera yet) photos...drop by at my web album.
