Kuwait Sceneries

One way to overcome boredom is by doing something you like. We received a compact 5MP digital camera as gift from my sister-in-law last 2005. I just kept snapping then later on I realized that I fell in love with photography and decided to upgrade from the compact Canon IXUS to Nikon D90 and thereafter I sold my D90 and switched to Canon 5D Mark II.

These are some of my snaps from around Kuwait. Anything that interests me, whether its my iPhone, GoPro or dslr, I will snap it.

So this is Kuwait and I will try to add more photos :-)

Framing it from the top: Business Centres in Kuwait City

Beautifully Intertwined Yarn

Just finished photo shooting another batch of crochet. I enjoyed those knits, beautifully handmade intertwined yarn for toddlers and babies. They're exclusively made by VB Crochet!

With the help of the natural light, as always, these photos looked naturally.

Here are the photos!

Table Top - Part 2

So I decided to do an indoor photo shoot, setting up using two flashes in soft boxes, acrylic glass, Pocket Wizards, etc.

It was a challenging photo shoot that I must avoid the light to reflect on the acrylic glass and still learning how to apply the technique from the lesson of Family of Angles.

2014 Projects | Interior & Furniture Photo shoot - Part 2

Another challenging photo shoot which I worked on various types of center table. I was geared with Canon 5D Mark II, Tamron 28-75mm, Elinchrom D-Lite RX4, Benro tripod, Vello Shutter remote, Phottix reflector.

Q8CON Comic Convention

Yay! I'm one of the official photographers in the first Q8CON Comic Convention held in Mishref, Kuwait. It was fun collaborating with the talented young Kuwaiti cosplayers and we're surprised of the unexpected attendance of more than 2k that crowded the entire venue.

Table Top - Part 1

Just finished dinner and thought of doing some photo shoot experiment using small action figure toys as my subject. I thought of using two small flashlights, small black painted table and crumpled aluminum foil as the background.

I have two small LED Maglite flashlights. One is place on the ground pointing to the crumpled aluminum foil and the other is aimed to the toy.

I stepped back a bit and set the aperture to f/1.8 to come up with a bokeh on the background.

Let's see what happened and hope it works.

Kamikazee Live in Kuwait

Kamikazee is in town to perform and entertain OFWs in Kuwait. We are excited to watch and meet Jay Contreras. Million thanks to Ms. Claire for allowing us to photograph the event though they have their official photographers.

I don't have an access to the front stage for closer shots of the artist, so most of my shots were taken a bit far from the front, from the side and through the backstage - it was challenging.

Osang of X-Factor Philippines also entertained and performed along with Kamikazee.
