My First!

I had a great time yesterday attending the Basic to Intermediate Photography session by Nikonian Academy. It was no basic looking at the bodies and lenses that the participants had. If you are a PnS user, you'll look like a monk standing at Mecca, TRUST ME, get your $$$ and start investing on DSLR system and you 'll never look back (like i always say)

We had an hour of theory by Andrew and Sean. After that, it was off to the real thing. Personally, i think this class is more on introducing Creative Lighting System (CLS) which i'm hook on now. I guess i'll have to say, i love the flash from now on, no lights no shoot, hahaha. We were taught to also feel our aperture and shutter, haha.

Below are some of the 200 shots that i've taken yesterday. BTW, she is Jeslyn Lee from SGX Faces

"You Can Never Have This With Natural Lighting"
"One of My Favourite"
"Another One of My Favourite"
"Elegant-nya"
"This is Like 2 Images Stick Together"
"Notice the Lightings from both L&R"

Well, what can i say, i'm happy, i'm impressed, i'm so 'manual' (first time shooting fully manual), i'm hooked. It was a great day for me. BTW, if you are wondering, how the other lightings were being positioned, check out the image below:

"Our In-door Session"

Final Verdict: All shots taken using D300, 50MM 1.8D and SB800 on board not forgetting the rest of the 3 speedlights position differently, the stand fan, etc.. I really have a long way to learn and it's just a starting point. BTW, SB800, i'm coming for you soon, and i mean REAL SOON
