Black & White Adventure Continues

One of the things I want to do more this year is black and white street photography. Since I probably won't use black and white images for my review content on YouTube, or paid shoot, I will have to intentionally shoot black and white for my own personal excursions. I do think black and white is a powerful medium in photography, a different yet effective way to convey strong messages, emotions and ideas. This round, I had my Olympus E-M1 (the

Hello OM-3!

Special thanks to OM System Malaysia for the loan of the new OM System OM-3! I shall be spending the next couple of days shooting non-stop with the OM-3, and I really can't wait to get the shutter clicking. I probably won't be making a full review of the camera, considering the internet is already flooded with so many reviews left right front and center. What I can do is to use the camera like a camera, take some meaningful photographs,

It Is Not Easy Building Credibility

Credibility is very important to me. After all, I do share a lot of reviews, opinion and thoughts on imaging products and photography in general over the years. Why would people come and read my blog, or watch my YouTube video if I don't have any credibility at all? That's why when my credibility was attacked recently, I had no choice but to defend myself - after all, without credibility, there really is no reason for me to be here. This

Slow Shutter Fun - Physical ND Filters vs Digital Gimmick

Since I have got some nice magnetic filters to play with for a bit, I thought it would be fun to do some long exposure, slowing down the shutter speed, capturing some motion of the flowing water. I was at KL Birk Park (yes, again) to test another product which will be mentioned on another blog entry, but it was just the perfect place to shoot the fake, man-made waterfall. Many people would be quick to point out that the OM

Jetmag Pro Magnetic Filter Kit by NiSi

NiSi sent me their latest magnetic filter kit, the Jetmag Pro and I made a video to talk about its features and share my experience using them. You can check out the video here (click).  I must say I am very impressed with Jetmag Pro Magnetic filter kit, it is simply the best option available on the market right now, with such versatility, smart locking mechanism, stickability and excellent image quality. I personally think the filter system is very well thought

Food Photography Is Fun

I am aware that I am mostly known for my street photography, and those who follow me will know that I do a lot of portraits, event coverage, stage shooting and a little bit of wedding photography for my paid side of photography. For personal projects, I dabble in portraits of strangers which is an on-going project, and of course, some insect macro photography on the side. Oh yes, I shoot a lot of cats too on the streets though those

An Old Favorite Photograph That Sticks With You

I have taken so many images over the past more than 10 years of me dabbling in the world of street photography, and I got to say, out of the countless snapshots I have accumulated, there were not many that actually stood out, or have become personal favorites. I guess I am just being extra critical when judging my own work, as would any other photographers, but this is something that is so obvious - if you do love one particular
