Just a Dream?

This D700 was shot using a D300s and a 50mm f1.4 lens. Not that I own any..
Amazing things..those cameras..

One day, I might just get my hands on them =)

Super Star Vigro - Family Portrait

Walking around the cruise searching for the right location for a shoot is boring. But when you finally found the right location, BAMM! you get started with your shoot!
I was walking around the deck with my triport thinking of getting some star trail/ interior design, when I came across this stage like platform by the poolside. That was it! The perfct place for a shoot!( Even though it is off my original objective of shooting the stars.)
Anyway, I call these shots Family Portrait. Enjoy=)





This shot was taken in the cruise library. The chairs reminded me of those which you see in studios where family portraits are taken, just that this one does'nt have a backdrop of some reddish-like and royal kind of wallpaper/screen.

Superstar Virgo - Activites

Now let's get on with the activites done during the trip!=)
Activities include the games, the talks on how to manage the ship, the tours around the ship, the trip to G Hotel in Penang, the trip to Prince of Sonkla University in Phuket and the Gala night. But I don't have photos for all the activites..so, I'll just show some=)




The Games


G Hotel


The Performance at Prince of Sonkla University


My new friends from Phuket=)


They have a green screen!!!=)


Gala Night

Gala night rules!=) I enjoy the photo shoot after that even more. The photo shoots (or family portrait, as I call them) will be featuerd in the next post =)

Mid Autumn Festival - Part 2

The rain finally stopped.
I went out to get supper and saw children carrying lanterns and playing with candles!
So once again, I whiped out my handphone and started shooting.





I'm really glad that the tradition stays on!!=)

Wet Mid Autumn Festival

A wet mid autumn festival. I can totally see the image of a kid carrying his lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other. Drama. Hahaha!



Despite my buddy still recuperating in the hospital, I was determined to shoot something with my handphone. But, the streets were empty.

After a long search, I finally found people carrying lanterns, celebrating Mid-Autumn festival.




I'm really glad that there are still people out there celebrating mid autumn festival the traditional way - drinking tea, eating mooncakes and carrying lanterns- regardless the weather. =)

Superstar Virgo - Interior

Hey all! The first post was simply a preview of what happen during the trip. So in this post, we will be looking at the interior of the ship!=)


The AWESOME slide & pool
It was the first thing tat Wow-ed us, when we saw the ship while waiting for the boarding to begin.


~The Golden Palace~ (Night view of the swimming pool)


A kids pool
Looks really cute.
Anyway. FYI: the pool closes at around 6 and 1 hour before passengers get to disembark the ship.


The route to the Lido (a theater)


The Lido
All the performances take place here.


The Grand Piazza
Its like the lobby. Or at least it feels like the lobby in a hotel to me..


The Library


The Giant Chessboard


The Kitchen (Where all the moose comes!)

There are still loads more of locations on board the ship. Too many to show every one...

Okay..maybe one LAST photo..


Its my favourite one.=) With a little help of editing done by OY.
Its the chairs available at the deck. Really windy there. Especially at night. You will feel that the wind might just blow you off the ship!

Superstar Virgo Cruise - Preview

Yeah! Back from cruise! Awesome trip! But I still feel the ground moving..
Anyway, this is just a PREVIEW of the cruise photos as I'm still in the progress of editing. Will post them when I'm done. Enjoy =)
