Breakaway to Bali – Day 1: Uluwatu

Uluwatu is a place known for the holy temple of Luhur and its marvelous view of sunset. There wasn’t much to see at the entrance hence I wasn’t really excited until I passed by the temple. The moment I walked up the stairs and stood at the tableland, I was stunned by the view. I can see the sea wave moving beautifully towards the precipice and the rhythm created is so graceful!

The scenery is perfect but the little creatures here weren’t really friendly. The monkeys tend to be overly aggressive and would snatch whatever people are holding or having on their body. I was only holding my camera and already took off all accessories like sunglasses or bracelet but was still attacked by a monkey. It actually chased from far and jumped on my head just to grab my hair band. Luckily my colleague standing next to me quickly grabbed my hair band and kept it in his pocket else don’t know how long the monkey would like to enjoy the ride on my head…lol…This spectacular place is definitely worth visiting and I’m so in love with the photos taken.

This is way before the sunset…can you imagine how amazing the sunset gonna be like?

The branches of the tree grow kinda artistically...perhaps it can be used as a pattern...

Goodbye to my Nikon D40

“YES” was what I shouted in my heart but at the same time I felt a bit reluctant to sell my camera as I’ve been using it for all kinds of occasions, capturing so many warm and precious moments. In fact, I’m pretty pleased with my D40 but I find that I really need something better to generate photos with greater impact. So it’s time to let go without hesitation. The ROM of Chng & Michelle was the final session with my D40. I will never forget the very first DSLR I owned – my Nikon D40!

ROM of Chng & Michelle

It’s been almost three months since I last updated my blog. I have actually gone through a stage where I almost gave up on photography as I was so busy with work (I was avoiding contact with computer after working hours) and my mind was packed with so many things. All these slowly extinguish my passion towards photography. Thanks to Chng for asking a favor of taking his registration of marriage photos as it rekindles my love for photography.

To be honest this is the first time I cover a ROM all by myself without my partner – Kevin Gan. I only got about one and a half hour to take the photos as it was weekday where I had to rush back to work right after the session. I was kinda worried since I have not touched my camera for quite some time and I only got little time to cover everything. Luckily the results turned out to be good and I am satisfied.

I love photography, especially photograph of couples/weddings as I get to feel love, happiness and blissfulness in the air. Let’s take a look at love portrayed by Chng & Michelle:

Ck & Terise - Expecting new member in the family

Feel like it was just yesterday where everyone was busy preparing wedding for Ck & Terise. But in fact they are expecting their baby in mid August. Time really passes by very fast, huh? This series mean so much to me as I have witnessed and involved in the whole process – from engagement, pre-wedding, actual day up to video processing. Looking at all these photos causes me to almost shed my tears as the scenes are just so touching! Words are really limited to describe the emotions. Check out the photos and feel the love from Ck & Terise!

ps: I'm not putting any description on the photos with hope that you guys will share your thoughts/feeling after looking at the photos.
