Professional Wedding Photographer ???

Notice the photo showing me in action(capturing the newly-wed under the tree near the main road), in my previous post? That was almost a year and a half ago... And that was the last job I involved in... even though, as an assistant photog.

Why I am here...

Last weekend, I was insisted by my mother-in-law to be part of the "Rombongan Keluarga Lelaki" for an engagement session... Well, of course I had to be part of the team, since it's my brother-in-law who was getting engaged... :)

However, I have also had to attend the wedding event of my cousin (on my wife's side) in the morning. Arrived at the mosque where the event was to be held, my uncle handed me his Nikon D70s complete with SB800 with a 18-70mm, and asked me to capture the events... Hahahaha... It had been a long time since the last time I hold a dslr. Well, since I was not that familiar with D70s, I was rather hesitated to the request. But, considering my pride as a 'used to be' a wedding photographer(semi-pro) I accepted.

I took a few minutes going into the MENU items in D70s and changed the settings to my needs (which was not far different from the D80 and D90 that i was using last time), set the SB800 to manual mode (my uncle use 4 batteries instead of 5, and it was the TESCO batteries 'sigh')..., I took the test shots...

I kind of irritated with it small LCD viewer compared to D80's but I managed to get a reasonable shots, with a minor disadvantage of the 18-70mm lens, which was not wide enough to get good composition (Hell...! the unauthorized photographers were like a swarm of bees... feel sad for the OP of the event, huhuhu...)

When the event started, I get into action... And, wooo.... it felt good. I really missed it.

Well, I just realized that its really is my passion. I love taking pictures! I love the challenges! I love the moments in wedding events... It opens to many creative captures... (sigh).

Yes... I don't have my equipments anymore... thats why...

So, the whole day, I was back in action, but with the D70s and i dont even have the chance to see my captured images!!!
