Alex ~♥~Rachel Wedding

18th Sept 2010

Alex and Rachel are a lovely couple that I got to know through my wife for quite sometime already. It is truly an honor to me that they would invite me to be their secondary photographer and not wanting to miss out the opportunity to shoot wedding event photos, I agreed. The problem is I have returned my brother in law's dSLR and now have nothing to shoot with. Thank God I could rent the gear from Rent-A-Camera. I got a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 35mm 1.8/f lens from them and couple it with a Nikkor 28-80mm 3.5-5.6/f lens (Left behind by my late brother) for the job. I know its not the best of lens but well, just have to make do with what I limited stuff I have. Although I do regret that I am not able to do a better job and wished that l knew more about wedding photography, it is with great pleasure to be able to be a part of Alex & Rachel's wedding team. As a result, I gained more experience and hopefully, would do a better job down the road.

Hope you enjoy the photos as much as me taking them. 

No Photos

Its been long since I posted any photos in here and neither are there anything interesting enough to be blogged about or should I say, nothing interesting to be blogged without a photo so to say. Ever since I returned the D40 to my brother in law, I have not taken much photos except with my Samsung Omnia phone which is really not that impressive although I do agree that its the photographer's skills that matter to a certain degree.

I have been looking around for a budget dSLR ever since and have contemplated the D90. I have checked online and friends in Hong Kong on the price of a D90 complete with the 18-105mm lens and surprisingly they are much much cheaper compared to Singapore. To add salt to injury, one of my friend has a contact who have ventured into the digital camera business and has been making a bomb since, which also allows him to "retire" from doing anything constructive to the society (Sorry) so can you imagine the kind of filthy margin they made?

Anyway, I've read that Nikon is launching a new beginners dSLR D3100 complete with the stuffs that I wanted in a D90 with extra stuffs thrown in E.g. auto-focus video mode, now that is sweet! The price for online camera stores like Adorama and Amazon are around US$699 which works out to be approx S$945 (US$ is at a low of US$1 = S$1.34 now). For more info on the D3100, you may wanna check out Ken Rockwell's website for more info. Fingers crossed, hope I'll be able to get hold of it before new year.

Till then, I guess the posts will be pretty boring unless I squeeze some creative juice into my writings. God bless!
