Swift Dance

The dancers move so fast as if they are fusing into each other!

Sunda Kelapa Port and Car Free Day

The alarm went off at 3.58 in the morning. With the eyes half-opened, I grabbed the door lead me to the coldest place in house, the bathroom. I washed my face and brushed my teeth, then headed back to my room to recharge my camera battery. Yes, today I was going to photo hunt with colleagues at the butt end of the north area of Jakarta, the Sunda Kelapa port.

We agreed to assemble at Setiabudi One building. But I had to pick up a friend, so I inquired my colleagues to meet up at 7/11 Menteng. We gathered at 5.30 am, still waiting another member to turn up. The time showed fifteen to six and I was just afraid we won’t be able to capture the sunrise.

Nevertheless, I got quite good photos there (at least, I think so). It wasn’t that I expected, for the sky seemed to be a bit cloudy. But, you, my blog watchers, are the judges. Gimme some points!

I was about to delete this photo. But if I look it for an extended period of time, this looks awesome. Abstract!

Take a Peek

It was very very difficult to get into the front line of the stage to take a shoot of this model. When she came out, the crowds thronged the stage. So I could only shot her between the crowds.

Hail Iron Man!

Here is the modern Hitler...the Iron Man!

Hail, Iron Man!

Butterfly on Her Back

Still from my old photo collection, and from the same event, Surya16: Exclusive Imaginaction. But in different model. Well, I like this model for some reasons. One of 'em is her tattoo on her back. That just look cool! ;p
the other reasons? Hmmm...

Feel hot, eh?

Look at Me

This photo was taken from Surya16: Exclusive Imaginaction event.

"Please look at me...," she begged.

Yet Still Alone

Yet I am still all alone...

Lonely Flower

Then one day the world sparkled with frost
and on that day a flower cried,
for she knew that all was lost,
just before she withered and died.

used to stabilize my camera to get sharp images...

Real Model?

Ummm...Not really! But she is not bad, eh?

Trenz Sandwich

"Sharing great taste with friends,
this is what Trenzshipis all about"

Trenz Sandwich

For Trenz, friendship is everything. Friends are there to share our feelings with one another, to go hang out with and to be together through thick and thin. A good friend is hard to find, but most of the time we tend to take our friendship for granted.

To tighten these friendship bonds, Trenz Sandwich Crackers and Mini Crackers make their presence among Indonesian youths. With a TrenzShip or ‘true friendship’ policy, Trenz will make your work, break or hangout time a whole lot more fun. What makes it even better is that Trenz always tastes better when shared with others!

Incidental Model

This is my friend who had her pre-wedding session at Pulau Umang. This photo was taken right after she finished doing her make up.

Unfortunately we couldn't see her eyes for she put some (long) eyelashes extension. Though, she looks gorgeous, doesn't she?

My First Professional Photographer Experience: Day 1

last weekend was the first time for me being a professional photographer. I was asked to take a pre-wed photos for my friend. The client is Wandita, and she is going to married in the first quarter of next year. The photo session was taken at Pulau Umang, Pandeglang, Banten.

We started to leave Jakarta at 11.30 pm Friday and I mostly slept during the trip (hehe). Anyway, the trip was awfully tiring, for we missed lots of U turn. I even got my forehead bruised when the car flew high in the air avoiding hole. We eventually arrived at Pulau Umang at 8.30 am the next day. We then had our breakfast and prepared for the first photo session.

'Sakti' Lens

Well, yea...that word might be the best word I can describe for the lens, 50mm f/1.4 AF-S. 'Sakti' (Ind) in English means: 1. supernatural, divine power. 2 having magic or divine power. 3 sacred, strong. Just enjoy! Critics and comments are welcome! :)

Eid El-Adha

Muslims around the world were celebrating the Eid El-Adha or the "Festival of Sacrifice" in commemoration of the belief that Ibrahim (Abraham) was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail to God. Observant Muslims celebrate it by slaughtering animals to commemorate God's gift of a ram to substitute for Ibrahim's son, and distributing the meat amongst family, friends and the poor.

Photographer's note:

The bottom-middle is quite over exposure. I have tried to reduce it and that is the best I could give. Cheers!
