Mighty Bright Light's photostream  

I took a stroll around St. James Park in London the other week with my wife. I took my Leica out and hoping to finish off my roll. The weather wasn't exactly good for film photography, dim and overcast and wet… which isn't too good for my equipment anyway.

But when I spotted this old gentleman feeding the ducks, I just thought it look funny when all of them raised their heads and waiting for the food in his hand to fly off!

Film isn't out just yet. I still love them and in fact, I've shooting quite often since last year. Since I turned digital in 2005, I rarely touched film, the occasional roll here and there wasn't exactly proper shooting.

As I am off to Paris this weekend, I am hoping to capture some nice photograph of this beautiful city. I am taking lots of films with me and hoping for the best (weather).

I was buying some new films yesterday and realised that many of the familiar models no longer in production. I felt quite sad but had to go with whatever was there for sale. Film please don't die!

Along with my trip is my Leica M6, Leitz 5cm Summicron, Leitz 90mm Tele-Elmarit and my Canon 5D Mark II and a 24-70mm. Aiming to travel light, I am also taking the Gorillapod only with Gitzo head.

Good day!

I took this from my iPhone when I was walking back home from my gym. I thought the sky was beautiful. Good day:)

Charlyne and Dave were just wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment on their big day.

I was the wedding photographer for their big day, where it was held at the groom's family home. I was a little nervous, simply because Dave's family is fully of photographers. I know how artists feel about certain sense and styles but nonetheless, they both loved my style.

Dave's family is also a garden lover. I just didn't expect to see "Kew" garden at the back of their house. Everything was perfect.

It was fortunate that they had a very long drive where I shot a lot for the newly weds.

This particular photograph was done while they were walking towards me. I wanted it to be natural so I used continuous shot and asked them to walked slowly towards me. Charlyne love the balloons and "Up" was her favourite movie. Aww. Just brilliant.

Simple but elegant. Romantic yet informal.

I love you guys!

Part of Gemma's boxing series. I have changed the toning of this photo and desaturate to give it a more punchy feel.

I am very pround of the working relationship between Gemma and I. We both came up with a lot of ideas and managed to work through most of them.

I did not use any flash in any of the photos in the series. I shot mostly in ISO 800 and my 85 prime.

Happy New Year!
