Our method in teaching basic photography is pretty much an old school style but straight forward and proven to be effective. No outside models, no expensive outdoor trip, you don't get wet, you don't risk your camera getting wet and you don't risk your camera getting damaged by impact. Some trainers may have included the above to stimulate the excitement of the training but we believe in simplicity of getting the job done effectively.
Our objective is to get you understand how the camera think when you press the shutter button. Understand this and you are ready to shoot just about anything, anywhere and anytime.
The theory, mechanics and computer systems of the camera will be explained in the class using the simplest layman language so that it will be easy to absorb. Why use outside model when you and other trainee including the trainer can become the model? We use whatever material we have in class as our subject of learning like bottles, pen, papers, old camera, etc. The cheapest method yet effective and it serve the purpose of making you a better photographer.
This is how we keep our training cost low. By removing the unnecessary cost and using the available time effectively. We are like the low cost carrier as compared to the full service carrier. The objective is to get passengers to the destination.
About 75% of our participants are young photographers of below 30 years whom just started the hobby and having cost constraint but want to have a complete course. Our cost meet their budget and the syllabus are adequate to get them moving and improving on their own.
The rests of the age group are those who have struggled to learn on their own and need guidance to fast track their learning. Their intention is to learn more techniques and to be independent.
It doesn't matter which age group you are and it certainly doesn't matter what level of photography knowledge you have, if you have the passion to learn within short period but wish to have the knowledge stick with you permanently, this is the right place. Simplicity and effectiveness is the key to learning basic photography. With the "Master Key" you can open any door of photography branches. Just look beyond it and you will find what you are looking for.....

Sultan Mizan Mosque
Malaysia International Fashion Week 2009
Not everyone can get the access privilege to witness an international fashion show such as this one. No worries, if you can't be there, we bring the Runway Fashion to your screen.
Click on the link to view some of fabulous collections from Asian fashion designers. These images were taken on the 2nd night GALA.
Enjoy the photos..... as well as the critics....
The GALA started with hair design show and these are some of the strange looking, so called "future" hairstyles.
The question now is.... will you be having these hairstyles in future? Well, I wouldn't worry about it coz my hair is barely 1/2 inch long. I will never have a bad hair day.....
Anyway, my favorite was the "SpongeBob Hair". I wondered how he walked the runway without falling off. His eyes were blocked and could hardly see where he was going.
Fantastic Architectural Design!!!
Sultan Mizan Mosque is the newly completed landmark in Putrajaya, located just behind the Putrajaya Holdings building. I heard about the completion and waste no time coz when they are officially announced, the management will have strict "outside mosque" photo rules such as those with the main Putrajaya Mosque.
I took the opportunity to shoot anything on site including tripod shots exactly in the middle of the mosque hall (while the security was not looking....).
If you wish to have good night shots, I advise you be there by 6.00 am. You will have at least 50 mins window to capture night shots. If you are non-muslim, you can still take your shots from outside the praying hall.
I always love night photography with water reflection. The moment I saw the pool in front of the mosque, I was so excited and quickly set up my tripod. The first photo is my favorite. I wanted to see everything clearly so I took a single exposure shot in Av mode, ISO 100, f22, 13s, WB 4850K.
Second shot was single exposure Av Mode, ISO 100, f22, 10s, WB 4850K at -0.5EV.
This shot was taken from the centre of the praying hall exactly below the dome. This is HDR image from 3 exposures of -2, 0 and +2 EV. Av mode, f22, 0.4s, WB 4850K. Tone Mapped in Photomatix.
Two HDR images merged in PS.
HDR Images of inside structures. This mosque is also being nicknamed "Masjid Besi or Steel Mosque" obviously due to the structures mostly made of steel.
A view from inside the praying hall. The praying hall is open sided from both sides. Natural cooling. This is another HDR image from 3 exposures.
HDR Image from 3 exposures taken at about 7.20am. View taken from in front of the mosque entrance. You can see the famous landmark of Putrajaya Holding's steel arc with Palace of Justice domes.
Palace Of Justice - HDR with -2,0,+2 EV Tone Mapped Photomatix


Reflection of Life
A couple reciting Quran in Sultan Mizan Mosque. Shot taken at 200mm f2.8 1/80 -1EV ISO400 with camera on floor. This photo was not photoshoped. I should process the reflection to make it look like a mirror.
Waiting for The Sun
My shot of the day. The photographer was taking shots of the bridge while I was taking his photo. It wasn't supposed to be a silhouette shot until the lights inside the mosque were switched off.


Singapore - The Sultan Mosque
Shots of the Sultan Mosque, Singapore were taken around 3 to 4 pm. The weather was hot enough to cast a blue sky just above the mosque. A little bit of white clouds make the images looks more realistic and dramatic.
These shots were taken with f11, ISO 200 with daylight WB. Processed at Adobe Camera Raw only where the blue sky was saturated and reduced in luminance. Add vignette effect and a simple frame.
Shooting up from a low angle is nice but just too painful for the neck!

Single exposure shot processed in ACR.
