While I was in the Philippines last week, I joined a Fashion Photography Workshop held @ Taal near Batangas about 3 hours bus ride south of Manila. I learnt a lot of tips on fashion photography and both the trainers Mr Raymund Isaac and Mr Kevin Ames refreshes my memories on lighting fundamentals. You know, stuff that I know all along but I didnt practice as I dontch used them much? That’s why, whenever I have the time, I like to teach lighting to anyone who is willing to learn. I forced myself to re-learn the basics EVERY single time I teach a new batch of eager students *wah! self promotion and marketing kaw-kaw si Ted Adnan ni whoah hahahahahah* Anyway, back to Joe McNally seminar *you never notice how uncomfortable banquet chairs are, until you had to sit on them (with very short tea break I must hasten to add!) all day long*.
Dammit, my mind is ‘young(-ish) but my body feels so old ady (sumtimes, especially when sits on banquet chairs all day long *laffs*).
Eh, where was I? Oh!
Anyway, back to JoeMcNally seminar (you know, a bunch of people sitting in a room quietly to listen to a speaker upfront doing his stuff), even tho I hadn’t ACT-CHEER-LY join any of his excellent workshops, he refreshes my memory AND I learnt a new tricks or two about using Nikon Speedlights wirelessly. Wah! Last time I mentioned Sony Alpha DSLR quite a bit in this blog here now I am singing the praises of Nikon. Well, it’s all marketing I’m telling you.
If you follow my tweet @tedadnan you can read some of my commentaries #joeinkl there lah.
I bought the books wrote by Mr Joe McNally, and thanks to the excellent effort of Mr Louis Pang and his hardworking team, I finally got to see and attend his lighting seminar in person. Take a bow Mr Louis Pang dewd and team, speaking collectively on behalf of people who attended todays seminar, you have our sincere “Thanks”, a job well done.
Anyhow, I took a few pictures of the event but dontch feel like posting them up yet, instead I wanna see how lah this blog looks like with a new FREE wordpress template (after all, we Malaysian loves free stuff. Checkout fotopages *LOL!* and fesbuk ajer lah to see what I mean ahahahaha). The header pictures are not mine tho lesse what ‘tweaks’ I can (or rather, me web hosting admin dewd) conjures lah to insert me own pictures 
Sure beat the previous lay-out….
