A wedding and photography 101

Picasa2 in action

Checking out the cool features of google's Picasa2. Cousin's (i think... mom's cousin's daughter) wedding. (Click pic for bigger pic)


Ta-da da da. Yea.. I was bored.. (Click pic for bigger pic)


Beryl's! Was it good? ... ... ... no.. >.< (Click pic for bigger pic) PHOTOGRAPHY 101: weddings with bad lighting (tai thong)


Auto mode (means EVERYTHING auto): Flash. VERY BAD. (Click pic for bigger pic)


Program mode: no flash, everything else auto. (Click pic for bigger pic)
and i thought the auto WB(white balance) was awesome. Can't blame it though.. Too many different colored lights.


Night potrait mode: flash; slow sync; gelled to surrounding light. Custom WB with gelled flash (surrounding lighting better). Not perfect, but good enough for post editing or even as is! (Click pic for bigger pic)


How to gel flash? Chinese tea!! Haha!! Shoot the flash thru that and it becomes yellow like the surrounding! (Hint: its better to use filters xD) (Click pic for bigger pic)

There, thats the easy part. =P

How was the wedding? Unfortunately, it was quite bad.. Bad crowd + almost 0 entertainment. Tsk.. They (the couple) seemed to enjoy it though (of course they did xD). =P


So.. Picasa2? Go for it! Its awesome (AND FREE!!)! Not perfect, but still awesome. Wonder if iPhoto can do better? Duh? Of course it can (i think) xD Two thumbs up!
