Tatton Park Trip

Amanda used to live with Jenny(my wife) and they havent met for a while since Ama moved back to HongKong. She is coming back to UK for a week for vacation so we drove to Tatton Park with several other friends.

We walked past few trees in the park and I back lit the leaved as background.

On camera flash sucks? Well, I can only sync @1/200s with my 5dmk2 or 5d, although I can trigger up to 1/8000s with my PW tt5.----why would I carry pro-equpiments while I was traveling for vacation?

Do not forget the group photo (on camera flash).

We then moved to the town center for a coffee and I did a quick snap shot for Amanda(do not be afraid to use bare flash).

Nice trip!

Portrait for Ali

Ali is a rising young singer from Bradford, he has been suffered back pain for few years and still receives regular treatments. He told me his back problem made him stuck in the room since 2003, so put alot of weight on. Recently he started to do some physical training and lost 26.5kg----what an effort! I wish I could do that!

He came to me to take some photos for his new look, initially I was planning to do that in the studio. Then I quickly changed the mind and would like to do that outdoor instead. I did not ask him to dress up---just be casual and natural. I believe I got what I expected--the image makes him look sunshine, tough and strong.

He doesn't look like suffering back problems at all:

Some strong look:
