See Spider-Man in Your Daily Routine?

Spidey vs Green Goblin

SPIDER-MAN vs GREEN GOBLIN: It’s mid-year, and this is the time when some of the largest Hollywood Blockbusters go on screen. Coincidentally, this pair of parrots has the color scheme for both the Marvel Comic’s red-blue hero and the villain.

I shot this image in one of my recent visit to Kuching’s unique weekend marketplace at Satok. The birds’ color are lovely, unfortunately the cage was so small, and I couldn’t do much bout the cage which got in the way.

Happy weekend, everyone!

Catching that bit of Lunar Eclipse

Catching that bit of Lunar Eclipse

ECLIPSE: Not exactly a money shot, but that'll do. The moon hid away behind the cloud earlier one when the eclipse started.

Thanks to the tweets, and some posts in FB, I only got to know about the lunar eclipse happening at South East Asia tonight moments ago. When I found out about it, I said to myself, “Why not just take a peek at the moon, and see how it is like?”

So, I went out of the house and looked up. The shy moon was hiding behind the cloud that time, and I saw nothing. Oh, great! I went back in. But, I still managed to catch a bit of the eclipse at 12 midnight. As you could see on the image above, there was still some bit of shadow casting over the moon. Some two hours later, the full moon was clear again.

There you go, that bit of lunar eclipse. My very first experience.

The Stolen Scream

Japan was hit by earthquake and tsunami yesterday (11 March 2011). The earthquake was measured at magnitude of 8.9. You have our prayers.

This video made by FStoppers production made its round on the Internet the day before yesterday. This entry by FStoppers touched on a real case scenario where the worst could have happened to any of us. For photographers, or artists, we  sure dream of our work to be published, in magazine, websites, publications.

In this video — The Stolen Scream, Noam Galai talked about how the photos he published on his Flickr account was actually made for sale in several stores around the world. Sounds like a dream come true? Not quite. Despite his scream image was commonly seen in many forms of publications, he was never credited or even asked for permission to use the images, which featured his face.

Wedding Photography, An Easy Job?

I stumbled upon this on DigitalRev’s blog.

You may have seen this already, but I thought I should just share it out. I kinda like this animated series on wedding photography. Pay close attention to the questions being asked by the colleague.

Now, what do you think of career as a photographer? Is it just about snapping photographs only? Think again.

Cheers!
