Hungry yet? Haha ^^...

Yes, it's a Wedding Menu for a friend's wedding this coming Saturday :D.

It's random, very random... I have been busy, but I still wanted to post something. I was doing so fine of posting regularly, one post every 2 to 3 days, and I don't want to lose that momentum now that I had somewhat built the habit.

And my camera lens arrived!!!! I did a few testing shots, and they came out soo sooo beautifully, ways better than my kit lens (duh, haha)... the colors are rich and much more saturated, the quality of the bokeh is to die for, it's fast and takes very gorgeous shots in door with not much lightings. Woah, I'm super excited to be out and about testing this new lens in the future. Just ordered a lens hood, and when I rake in some more money, will be purchasing some filters as well :).

Amidst the storm...

Please pardon the bad quality. I don't have a tripod, and to avoid holding on to my camera for too long which could make the photos blurry, I had to push up the ISO which resulted in very grainy pictures. Either way, I lose, lol XD. These were taken during the heavy rain/storm at around 9pm tonight. The quality of light during that downpour was fantastic, oh my, that golden light, it's to die for! Too bad I couldn't capture it well...

Inspiration: Monzani

UNSPOKEN WORDS

By: Jean-Sebastien Monzani

JS Monzani was a nice discovery. I actually had seen his great photographs on DeviantArt some time last year, but I didn't think too much about them. Back then, viewing artworks was a simple pleasure, one that I didn't truly take much commitment to explore certain artists like I do now. And by some twist of fate (thanks to the inter-connectedness of the Internet) I rediscovered him again, this time through his videos on Vimeo (watch the videos in his channel here). Apparently the guy just started creating short artistic movies and already his name is being known around. What so inspiring is that he first and foremost is a photographer, and like I mentioned earlier, his photos are great sources of inspirations for me, as I'm learning to love photography more and more everyday. Here is his portfolio website, where you can view most of his best works: JSMonzani and another one Simple Moment that houses all of his works so far. What I like about his photographs that they are truly creative, in the best photography sense possible. They are all very clean, sharp, professional-looking with fantastic colors and composition. I actually do aspire to be able to take pictures like his one day, with my own style obviously...

New lens coming my way ^___^!!!

In front of me...

I'm really happy right now because I finally was able to afford a new lens :D!! As my love for photography increases, it's about time to move on and get serious. My kit lens is acceptable, occasionally it makes good enough photos (like the one above of my dad, I actually was very please with how the final result came out), but apparently, there're certain things I just can't do with a kit lens. And yes, this time I got myself a lovely Canon EF 50mm f1.4 standard lens. Yes, it's the baby I talked about wanting to acquire last summer, and now my dream came true, I'm sooo happy. I just purchased it this afternoon after weeks of contemplating over whether I should be spending money on a new lens or not. Consider it my new and only walk-around lens, wooohooo!!! I can't wait to be taking more pictures!!!!
