My Beautiful Friend Eunice!

         Today, I was in the office for some work. I have a feeling that I would have an opportunity to take a photo in our "UP" theme department so I brought my equipment. After 6pm, I went up to the 7th floor and found Eunice! I'm really blessed and honored to take her photos. Tons of balloons means lots of FUN! Thanks to Friend Anj for being my assistance!

Visiting My Sisters

        As I woke up, there was this beautiful beam light coming out of the window. I decided to take a photo highlighting only my favorite verse Psalms 16:11. Then Mom and I decided to pay a visit with my eldest sister Jin and Joy, then we'll swim.

        During the visit of my sister Jin, I washed the car and cleaned up the interior as well. Finally the car is cleaned and smells good!

        The Sun is up at high noon and I tried to practice what I watched the other day about light positioning. I'm obsesses with light, like Jerry Ghionis said.in his video. However my background is my problem, I can't seem to set the background yet as I'm focus more of the exposure. Well as they say practice! Using the Fuji X-E1's EVF (electronic viewfinder) is excellent on bright daylight. As all people know when its bright daylight the LCD screen does not display very well, however the EVF does and it makes my exposure really easy. For most of the photo here I used a reflector and I used my favorite lens XF 35mm 1.4, its so sharp!

Today I practiced with my mom, sister and XianXian at home. It was an awesome experience to use my new lens and different equipments. Learning how to use light and positioning them over my subjects. It really a challenge to take picture with kids especially when their young. Indeed today is a productive day, I give my self 10 out of 10!
