Support

How important is it to get the support of the other?
My answer is, VERY.

People work so hard just to hear that sentence; "well done, i'm proud of you". This support reassures them.

But when this support turns on your back and tells you in your face that YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT, this psychological impact is really great. It's so great that one may just give up forever.

People may say that those who give up are the ones with weak will. But I just want to state my main point; Support is Extremely important.

Support from your close and loved ones are the most important.
Sometimes all they want to hear, is just a mere sentence that proofs that they have done the family proud. And that they are not a loser.

Take my word for it. Support is very important. Be there for that person. Or you might just lose that person forever..

KRABI!=)

Here are some photos I shot during my trip at Krabi~ Enjoy.






AWESOME trip!

等等等。。

Spent my weekends shooting my club's camp in school. Took this photo at one of the game station.
It suddenly reminded me of this other photo..

Man spends more that 50% of his life waiting. waiting for the game to be over.. waiting to die.. Is life worth waiting for?

Director Photo Shoot

I was sent to do a photo shoot for my school's new director. And here's what i got.

A walk in the night

With all these stress in my life..i had to go out for a little walk...
Grabbing my 300s, tripod and amd new friend, the remote, i headed out. Here's some of my little destressing photos~




A friend of mine once said, "when you are feeling down, you should take a little walk. It will take some of your sadnees away.."
So if you too are feeling down, it means that its time for a walk!=)

MALAYSIA~

Made a 4 day trip to Malaysia during the holidays!~ Here are some shots I have!~
Enjoy.

FOOD FOOD AND MOREE FOOOD!

Food photography ain't easy at all. There must be angle, details and depth! I tried shooting food a few times but I still don't think I can make it yet. Below are some more tests.These are traditional Vietnam food! They taste AWESOME!


A friend once told be that if the photos of food looks yummy, you are successful as the photographer~
I hope that my photos look yummy to you!=)

Stick in the Mud

Made a trip to West Coast Park yesterday, with the determination to get down and dirty! Abandoning my footwear, I proceeded into the mud. It was black and sticky. As I waddled into the oil-stained substance, I noticed little tiny snails crawling on the mud. Yuck. Started shooting the boats there, but nothing came out nice. (That's what you get when you try shooting HDR without a tripod and shakey hands.)
Before I got back to civilisation, I took 7 photos of this photo, with the thought of doing HDR. Who knows, my CS4 had to crash on me. So this photo is a single photo just slightly edited using LR.

I swear that next time I'm going there, I'm going in BOOTS!

Food for Thought?

I went for a wonderful Ritz Carlton international buffet and was amazed by the way the chef's design their food.Presentation is indeed important!

And not to forget to wow the person who is eating by asking her to release the main ingredient of the little desert by herself~

Happy Children's Day!=)

I went out with a bunch of friends both old and new ones on Children's Day! Brought out a good buddy, 80-200 f2.8, to shoot some portraits~ (Thanks WW!)
Here are some shots!=)




HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!=)

YOG: Rowing

This would be my last post on shooting YOG sports.=(
Rowing is very similar to canoing. Just that for canoing, you get to sit in the canoe and use both hands to paddle. But for rowing, you are kneeling downand using one hand to paddle your boat!

Caught this more interesting shot where the athelete went the wrong way into the other athelete's path during the competion!

okay!!
Armband Number 083 signning of from the last time..

YOG: Canoing

No comments about canoing except GET A BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONG, LONGGGGGG LENS!
haha

YOG: Hockey

Hello!=)

It's HOCKEY TIME!=)
Hockey, is a sport that needs alot of han-eye coordination. For a photographer, you need to see these "on-coming tackles" from the atheletes.
At first, I could'nt seem to get the "tackling" shots properly. But slowly, I understood how the game is played and managed to capture some!=)
However, taking photos of sports is not just to capture the tackling shots, but to get more "interesting" shoots like this one and the one below.

I enjoyed shooting hockey the most!=)

YOG: Throws

Im back!=)

This time shooting throws!~

Its not easy shooting throws as there is a safety netting preventing people from getting hurt.

So what I did was to put the lens near the green netting, and try to focus.haha
If you noticed, you can see some green thingy by the sides of the photos. That's the netting!haha

YOG: Athletics [Track and Field]

A 100m sprinter.Running with all her might, hoping to bring home a gold medal~

YOG: Athletics [Hurdles]

Number 083 is back in the game! This time, attempting to shoot hurdles!=)Herdles, a sport never achievable by me, yet looked so easy for the athletes.

Everyday without fail, I will see the same few athletes training and training and training. All the hardwork they put in, regardless of winning or losing, will not go to waste as its not always about the results,but more about the effort.=)

YOG: Athletics [High Jump]

"Once upon a time, man tried to fly."
Yes, Young Photographer number 83 is back, and this time shooting high jump! High jump is a tough sport that requires a lot of muscles. Not only the arms and legs muscles, but also the stomach and back muscles!

I stared at her countless jumps, trying to jump across the targeted height for a while. Then, as she tried some more, I pressed my shutter even more.

Watching them try so hard makes me want to try harder to take nicer photos of them.
Oh well, I tried my best!=)

YOG: Badminton

Unlike the media, my role as a volunteer was to take portraits of the different athletes and not the 'exciting moment' in the match. We are part of this Photoscape Project where all the Young Photographers (the status given to us)are to take portraits of the athletes, which will be printed out and pasted on 3 walls at Youth Olympic Park.

First day of duty, and I went to SP to shoot badminton players. As of that day, I was known as Number 83 (083).


Name:Tara Cheryl Pilvon
NOC: Australia


Name: Boris Ma
NOC: Australia


Name: Dennis Coke
NOC: Jamaica

One thing good about being a Young photographer and not part of the media is that we get to interact with the athletes. That's the coolest part and I LOVE IT!=)

YOG
