Event : Jayden’s 2nd Birthday…

Posted by Shannon on Mar 17, 2008 in Birthdays, Parties, Photography |

Date : 16 March 2008
Venue : Mc’Donalds Centrepoint

This wasn’t what assignment or sort, but a “guinea pig” opportunity for me and Nadia (Nadia’s photos of the day can be found HERE) to try out “shutter” on event photography (or sort)… But of course what matters most was to celebrate little Jayden’s 2nd (early) birthday…


Beautiful afternoon… The sky started to turn gray AFTER the party, so timing was superb…

We arrived early, WAAAY before the host even left their house (wahaha)… Rachel being Rachel, was so scared of everything, this was probably the nearest she got to the slide…

A few other bloggers were there (check out Sasha’s post for full detail), and from the busy eating my lunch and busy trying to think of what I can shoot, I am regretful that I didn’t seem to have much time to chat with everyone… Taken tonnes of photos, but post processed and cut everything down to exactly 99 photos to be sent to Sasha… WAHAHA! From this photography try-out, I’ve concluded that:

  1. I need to improve on my composition… To try to give the subject more perspective instead of 2D…
  2. I will ALWAYS shoot with RAW from this point onwards… Yeah, Aaron, I finally FINALLY truly get your point…


The host FINALLY arriving…


Look there mami…


Tables of food…


Take it off me lar Daddy…


The few photos of the bloggers I have…


Jasmine, Sasha’s much talked about niece…


Random makan time pic…


Jayden’s AWI cake…


Family pic…
NOT bad yeah, all looking at the camera! :D


Oh oh… If you guys don’t start singing, my ‘A’ will be burnt!


Ahh… Finally…


Don’t make the little Taukeh angry I tell you!!


Nadia taking a pic…


Rachel stealing a peck on Irfan before we left…


Irfan happy…
(From Rachel’s kissie? I don’t think so…)

P/S: I think this post holds a record for me… The fastest posting photography opportunity post… It happened yesterday and I posted today… No delaying… haha

Can see photos are getting better…. raw is always the one to go with though of course post processing takes longer time. But if you learn post processing techniques, you can do it in a flash.

SHANNON SAYS : How come you not using RAW then?
