Formula 1 Grand Prix - Malaysia 4.5.09

Yesterday was my first time to watch a Formula 1 Grand Prix at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. One thing I could never forget is the adrenalin you get from the sound of the engines screaming at full throttle! The excitement level is soooo high that no wonder you would see people traveling across the globe just to witness the event. I was seated at the ringside area at the straight way right before corner one, here the cars were running at full speed and just about to decelerate before entering the turn. The rain poured but the drama continued, congratulations to Jenson Button for wining the race! :D

Jeremy + Kimberly 3.21.09

I was challenged to take this shot in a very dim location. I used three speedlights to lit the couple and background, it took about 5 mins to get all 3 lights tuned in.




The rings symbolizes man and wife and I love the idea that Christ is always mentioned as the center of the relationship. I thought it was symbolic that the couple were lifted by Jesus on the Cross!

Beauty shots are a favorite and I always like to put my fingerprint on the portraits I take. I always get to see my self in the bride's pupils.

Congratulations Jeremy and Kim! Hope you would visit the Philippines again soon. :D

Jayson + Cathy 2.27.09

Together with the members of the Society of Portrait Photographers of the Philippines, we started our day having breakfast with Gov. Chavit Singson. We gave him a quick lesson in photography and took some portraits of him as well. He really is a nice guy and just hanging out and having a conversation with him was cool. He loves his pets and I even had the opportunity to feed Mari Mar, his favorite miniature horse. See him working on his Nikon! :D

My first time to ride a hot air balloon, it was sooo cool! I look forward to this yearly event. Congratulations to Mr. Akio Hachinohe for achieving a perfect score yesterday! Thanks for accommodating me in your flight. :D
