Flash Meter

By -

This is one gadget that most new digital photographers tend to miss out due to the the digital review on the DSLR. During the film days, this is one tool that a professional photographer needs to have in his arsenal so as to get the light reading right on spot before the actual shooting takes place.

Now what we can see most photographers do is that the shoot, view through their LCD screends, make necessary adjustments and shoot again. So much easier. Then again, this small gadget is very useful for metering the amount of adjustments needed before the shoot and waste shutter clicks.

Ah well, different opinions amongst photographers may result in diverse use for this gadget. To me personally, the flash meter has been with me for more than 10 years now and it's still being utilised for some detailed shoots at our Ipoh Photography Studio.

Ceylonese Wedding - The Milk Bath

Every culture's wedding ceremonies is unique already with their own customs and traditions. For example an Indian wedding will have many similarities across all the Indian traditions and yet it's their sub-culture's customs which makes them stand out individually, thus we are able to differentiate which sub-culture they belong to. The milk bathing ceremony is practiced by Ceylonese Indians, they are from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, an island just at the south of India. It takes place very early at home of the groom before they just before they start the journey to the temple proper to perform the wedding ceremony. Blessings from elders are a must to ensure good fortunes and well being of the groom. We at Jet Fynn Photography have done plenty of these. Thanks to the environment that we are operating in - Malaysia, Truly Asia!

Sometimes we get enquiries from many clients asking us whether we do something different from what the usual studios are offering. We actually do a lot more than the common "walk in, smile, click!, thank you!" We take time to actually know you a little, ask you what type of response you like to have from people looking at your graduation photos. Some would like to have grand looking graduation pictures / portraits, some may want to show that "sense of achievement", some would like to be proud of themselves and some would ask for something really out of the ordinary. (That we always do....hehehehe.) Hence, our graduation pictures have many of our clients recommending their juniors and other friends to check us out. We may not post much here, just drop by and tell us what you want and we will take it from there. Though our photography studio is based in Ipoh, to date, we have had clients not only from Ipoh, we had people from Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Kedah, Mel

Wedding Ring

In many cultures, in fact in most of the weddings that we took, rings plays a very important part in what most people will call, "Sealing of marriage vows" It's true. Be it a Chinese wedding, Indian wedding, Malay wedding or even amongst other cultures ie: Western / Christian weddings. Of course there are variations to that theme like a necklace but rings take precedence in most weddings. Here's one exchange of ring photo to share:
