Sabah...A wonderful Holiday..

2008-06-05T01:05:00.009+08:00

Just got back from Sabah...the day petrol prices were announced to go up...anyway politics aside..Sabah was simply breath taking..the nature that surrounds the whole state has to be experienced for your self in order for you to really understand just how beautiful this place is..its without a doubt Malaysia's last hidden treasure..the beaches there were amazingly pristine still...I managed to take a trip up the village of Kundasang...this village lies on the foot of the Mount Kinabalu...Still amazed at how high that mountain really was...and what amazes me is that you can see at the peaks ice forming small snow caps on it...all in all Sabah was one place that I will remember as an eco holiday...much to offer too little time to appreciate the state fully...

More HDR fun....

2008-03-23T16:44:00.003+08:00

I managed to shoot these earlier on today...I liked the results very much as the HDR is used to good effect instead of the over popularised fake look you see to often on flickr...

My First Wedding Shoot in SDCC

2008-03-22T10:35:00.009+08:00

Took these pics over the weekend..It was my first shoot in Sime Darby Convention Centre...It was definitely a huge venue...

Tilting the Lorries once again..

2008-03-21T18:04:00.002+08:00

Took this tilted shot near the HSBC near the Damansara Old Imigration building...I like how tiny the lorries seem to look ..really cute..

My first go at HDR..

2008-03-18T13:34:00.004+08:00

I just bought EasyHDR the other nite...so decided to have a go at it...must say quite impressed at the kind of exposure u can generate with this software..definitely worthwhile for scenery etc...I've combined tilt & shift with HDR...a lovely blend I think

Honey...I'm Home..

2008-03-05T19:24:00.004+08:00

Saw a shot like this on a webpage I liked ...and I really like the whole minimal feel of the subject matter...ants and Honey...No matter what they always seem to find the sweet stuff..its so bare and natural and so that is what makes me love the subject...simplicity I guess...

Cuppacakes event..

2008-03-01T11:34:00.006+08:00

Me and my wife went to cuppacakes® event yesterday..the event was basically the launch of cuppacakes® first shop...its located in Damansara Uptown...

Lenses..

2008-03-01T02:11:00.005+08:00

Shot these earlier today..I've always had a fascination with lenses,especially the ones photographed in Books and catalogs..its that crisp quality and bands of colours that makes me so fascinated by them... so I decided to make my own pictures of them...

My Cat 'Lucky'

2008-03-01T01:41:00.006+08:00

Was playing around with the fisheye lens lately...I tried to put it to good use by shooting our family pet 'Lucky'...she's been with the family almost 10 years now,alhamdulillah...and she stays at a special part of the house,the tv room...she's really what you may call as the Guardian of the Tv Room..

Election..election...

2008-02-25T21:06:00.005+08:00

Well its that 'time' again when all of us start to decide on who should govern us for next 4-5 years..I was fortunate enough to be in Kota Tinggi,Johor over the weekend to shoot the naming of candidates for tht constituent...Its was a very humbling experience to see all those people supporting my father..It made me feel humbled because deep down I really wish they too would enjoy all the same things in life that we were given too alhamdulillah...anyway it was also kinda sad to see the opposition party coming with a small crowd..for me I am not a BN nor am I for the opposition...I'm an idealist I guess..I just want to see people united..cos that to me is the most important thing we should achieve...more then party politics..we are one race...the human race...

2007-11-15T18:28:00.003+08:00

Liliput..

2007-11-14T12:27:00.000+08:00

Shot this earlier on..Finally managed to try this lens in the day..to get the full effect of a model toy house..aperture was 5.o .

Shot this justnow

2007-11-13T23:51:00.002+08:00

Wanted to give my new Lens a test run..its a 24mm TSE lens..made just for architectural shoots..I find the lens is exceptionally clear and pictures come out very crisp..good color saturation too..Depth of field control is also excellent..a usefull piece of equipment for the creative photographer to bring around

Re-edited some shots..

2007-11-10T13:19:00.002+08:00

I was goin through some photographs I shot earlier this year for a coffee table book for a ranch in Kuang,Sungai Buloh...Found some shots which I would otherwise usually overlook,and I decided to give them a good editing and came out with these results..change saturation here and there and sharpness and viola..

Petronas Twin Towers

2007-11-09T18:22:00.000+08:00

Shot this earlier today..got stuck in the jam..so decided to snap and take this whole kl skyline from the elevated Highway along the Tun Razak stretch..

Another Tilt and Shift Image

2007-11-08T14:46:00.001+08:00

Shot this in the Pavilion in KL..interesting DOF aye??

Tilt and Shift..

2007-11-08T14:01:00.000+08:00

Lately I've been really enjoying using my Tilt and Shift lens..it creates really awesome results..It takes a bit of getting used to as its quite fidly and it doesnt come with autofocus as a main rule..since the mechanism is seperated electronically and also its very much upto the cameraman to decide what kinda of DOF he wants to achieve..

Welcome to qippy.com Blog

2007-11-08T13:57:00.005+08:00

Hi guys and gals..this is your place to interact with qippy.com and find out whats new and whats happening ..share you view,critiques etc with me..I truly feel that there is always much room for all of us to learn from one another..I wouldn't want to potray myself as being a photographer who knows all..I have still much to learn..and most of the answers to the questions are all still out there....

Here's a little background of what qippy creative is really about,

Since officially registering as a legitimate profit making company in August 2005, Qippy.com has expanded as a formidable force photographically in the local weddings scene and has begun to advertise in a few major publications such as, weddings Malaysia and Bridal Guide to name just a few.

Recently the company has joined membership with Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) which is based in California and the Royal Photographic Society based in United Kingdom. This has been a great opportunity for the company to expand its recognition even further beyond the Malaysian market alone. By joining WPPI, Qippy.com is listed on their directory as a legitimate company that provides photography services both locally and internationally. The company has been involved in many commercial shoots for companies such as Pucuk Rebung Royal Gallery in KLCC,Seri Hening Apartments (Great Eastern Group) KIC Oil & Gas,Glomac Berhad, iNNAi Boutique,Maizen Boutique and InnoBiologics Sdn. Bhd. just to name a few.

Our latest and largest project we are currently running is www.PhotographersMalaysia.com.Its is a free directory service for photographers to list their contact details in various specific areas of photography.This website is developed specifically to cater to the needs of local photographers and those seeking professionals in their respective fields of photography such as, wedding photographers, commercial photographers, etc. This site is open to all, both Professionals and Amateurs alike. We have just established this online service since the 7th of September this 2006.

In the long run, our vision is to make this directory not only restricted locally, but we also intend to go internationally as well.
