I need motivation and to improve

Hey guys!

So basically today I had a shoot with Rizal and Fizah which BTW, before the day has ended. Happy 11th month anniversary to you 2! I'm happy for you guys! I know it sounds gay to some people but seriously, deal with it! If you're alright with it, good for you!

So yea... I met Rizal and Fizah at Redhill at 9.10am or so and Yusuf overslept, thanks to Rizal for buying big breakfast for me despite it being cold, it doesn't matter XD. And we went to Botanic Gardens and we shot for awhile, changing places and lighting setup before we went and hide from the drizzle before going to shot a couple more shots before it poured down on us and we were hiding in a hut.

So after that we went back, Yusuf came to my place and I helped him solve some problems on his Macbook Pro. For some reason, the system has disabled his usage of stuff that some people normally use such as Registry Edit, Command Prompt and what he told me was the problem, the Task Manager.

So yea... I dropped my FL-36R and FL-50R and my FL-36R has a cracked hotshoe foot and my FL-50R cannot turn on at all... So I'm going down to Olympus Service center after school tomorrow to send it for diagnostic and if the price is within budget, I'll have it fixed. I sure hope it doesn't cost much to have it fixed.

And well... My colours from the shoot are accurate thanks to the 18% grey card which is a little bent now, which has gotten me to decide to do my DIY folding 18% grey card. Hope I succeed with that idea.

I've also learnt that I still have a lot of room to improve. I also need motivation. I feel that I'm losing motivation and ideas. So if anyone has any advice, do write down in the tag box. TIA!

So... Just to share 2 images from today's shoot!

Used film simulation as well as border, probably my favorite picture so far


I got this idea when Rizal walked behind and Fizah was looking at him. Gives me the feeling that he isn't talking to her which is quite funny (to me anyway), no idea why I chose this border, but well, I like it.


I want to give a quick thanks to Rizal and Fizah for always believing in me and happy with my work though I'm not happy but because of their believe in me, I'll always strive to improve. Also a huge thanks to my mentor though he doesn't know the existence of this, for always teaching me and helping me both in life and photography, and always believing in me and being proud of me. I will work hard to make him even more proud. And I do agree with what he told me, there's more to this friendship than what we've initially though. And also thanks to Yusuf for being my assistant today though his job was very very SIMPLE! Hahahha. Good night world! Wish me luck for my Olympus flashes!
