Canon EOS Experience Seminar

Last Sunday, i have attended the 2nd Canon EOS Experience Seminarheld at Grand Ballroom, Shangi-La Tanjung Aru Resort. Great seminar, lot of photographer- amatuer,enthusiast and pro came to join this seminar. Great opportunity for me and all of the participants-free breakfast, free lunch there wihout any admission fee. :). I have great time there and get lot of info about the latest technology from Canon - from their camera, lenses and to their imaging system. Kaz Chua, the potrait sifu from west malaysia do gave me some inspiration with the light techniques. And lastly we have chances to shot their models for the competition. Here some of my shot at the Seminar.

Look into my eyes.....

The 15mm Fish Eye Lense - love this!!

I shot this pictures using fish eye lens on Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III.. nice lense and camera I think.. i've tried this machine.. but dont know how to operate.. maybe i am not familiar with it or because it is not so user friendly for me.. my Nikon have tw0 buttons dial to set my apperture and my shutter.. while this machine need to press another button and then you will need to use the same dial to set shutter/apperture.. however still the good and massive machine for me.. and I still with my Nikon!! Nothing gonna change it.. Go.. go Nikonian!!.. See how the fish eye effect on the floor and wall.. i felt in love with this so-called "fish eye".. I think that i need to get this baby.. and of course Nikon Lense.. :D

HDR Photos.. BEFORE and AFTER

Hey guys.. these are some of my HDR photos i've created. Now, I am using the Photomatix Pro and Photoshop CS3 to do the editing. Sometimes i used Capture NX to tweak some color. Okay, this is the 'BEFORE and AFTER' the editing. See how far the changes have been made to bring big impact to each picture when you present it in HDR.. in the next post i'll show you the more detail techniques to change your photos more dramatically.. Cao'..

BEFORE- This is the shot that won me 2nd Prize, see how flat the photo!


AFTER- The more dramatic photo..


BEFORE -


AFTER - See how the footprints on the sand revealed and added more impact that before..


BEFORE


AFTER - I've used Photoshop to dodge and burn the photos to create the light and shadow.



BEFORE - I shot this padlock to demonstrate my friends how to use Photomatix Pro. I just pick up this padlock that just beside me that time..


AFTER - And i turned it to this - See how the usual photos turn to be more impact!



BEFORE - same like the above



AFTER - i've dodged the image to create the light..

Okay.. see you on the next post.. Dont forget to drop some comments on this..
