Just an old image that I retouched..

Pre-wedding Syazeri & Syidah

While I was in Ipoh, there a couple who are getting married in May this year. I was told that they have just done a pre-wedding shoot earlier last week.

Since I know the couple I told them why don't I do another shoot for them as an additional images for them. Here are couple of  images for all viewing.

IPoh trip

I went back to my home town last Sunday to visit my parents who are staying with my brother's house at the moment. I take the opportunity on this trip to find some new ideas of what to shoot.

On the first day I took a bike and scout the surrounding areas to find subjects that are interesting enough. I do find a few locations of interest, however I was consumed totally on a corn field and as a result I didn't manage to go to the other locations.

Here ore some of the images captured from my Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 atx pro dx II.

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II

Been busy the couple of days with editing photos from a job done last year upon request of the client. Luckily I still keep the backup copies which I can produce to the client although I have lost countless editing hours which I spent on right after the event.

Nevertheless, I just manage to get a BIG job schedule just after this CNY which requires a wide angle lens which I didn't acquired yet. A group of  400+ people is my subject and I had to engaged a friend of mine to assist me going through this project.

After searching lens reviews from multiple sources, the only best option I have for my Nikon D7000 is the

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II which was launched some where last year. I never had any plans actually to buy a wide lens, my original plan is to upgrade to FX body first since I had couple of FX lenses on hand.

Here are some of the general test shots taken from my Nikon  D7000 having 

Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro DX II  .

Generally I am satisfied the performance of this lens , color, distortions,, vignetting and chromatic abberations are quite manageable. you can judge by the above pictures yourself. 

Coming from a person who never experience with ultra wide angle lens, I would say that I would need to learn more things about this type of lens. There are many things to consider before taking a shot, what the lens can and cannot do, and etc. below are more sample shots taken a day after the above images.

All these shot are taken with no photoshop editing. It was only processed in camera software from RAW files. The editing done was only D-lighting effects to enhance the darker area since it was on the early morning.
