Running Andrew Photography

Last update perhaps

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 03:33:00 +0000

My photography blog is too quiet. I've been pretty tied up with my personal blog

and partying. Okay, it was an event but still, partying!

Nowadays, I would normally upload my photos on flickr and my facebook photography page.

So guys, I won't be updating this blog as much(sadly) so do check out my photography portfolio at:

I guess I just don't have the time to maintain so many blogs at the moment. I'm also working out in the gym and running more often since the beginning of April; trying to get back in shape :)

Till then, thanks for dropping by and take care!

Keng Ng and Yee Fei's Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:54:00 +0000

This is taken back in November 2011. My first wedding shoot for my in law's cousin. One will not know the amount of work required when it comes to wedding photography. It was definitely an eye opener for me. If I could describe my experience in a few words: fun, happy, sweaty, and tiring. I'll share some of my personal favourite shots from the album.

Enjoy!

Bai Tian Gong celebration

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:19:00 +0000

As they say, Bai Tian Gong is a big celebration for the Hokkiens. I'm Teochew but still, I celebrate it with my in-laws. Alot of preparations were done prior to the actual day.

It is the birthday of Tian Gong (in Mandarin) or Jade Emperor. It is an important day for Hokkien Taoist (fujien). My wife told explained to me previously that on the 8th day of Chinese New Year, prayers would start from 11pm and will last till the wee hours of the next day(well, approximately 2am for this year at my wife's place). It is a night of grand offerings to Tian Gong; roast pork, steamed chicken, and red eggs, and traditional huat kueh(plain rice cake), a pair of sugarcane, red candles, joss sticks and folded joss paper.

I'm sure you've seen people buying sugarcane lately didn't you? The story which I've been told is that the Hokkiens were attacked and they hid themselves in a sugarcane field. As they lived through the ordeal, they prayed to Tian Gong with sugarcanes offerings to remind themselves on how their lives were saved.

Anyway, below are some of the pictures I took. Enjoy!

Patrick and Charissa - 14.01.2011

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 04:05:00 +0000

Another good friend tying the knot. Congratulations to Patrick and Charissa. It's gonna be a new journey and I wish both of you the very best. Here are some shots I took during the ceremony. I wasn't the official photographer so I just took from the sidelines. Nevertheless, enjoy the photos.

Hope you guys enjoy the photos as much as I did. Till then, God Bless.

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 03:12:00 +0000

Here are some shots that I took during last year's Terry Fox Run 2011. Sort of my first walk and shoot event. Bright and sunny day for perfect photography :)

Heng Soon and Jesse's ROM 1.11.2011

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:54:00 +0000

Whoa, lack of updates on my photography blog. Time for a quick update! These were taken back in November 2011.

I was privileged to be the official photographer for my buddy's Registration Of Marriage at JPN Putrajaya back in November 2011. Feel free to comment on my photos but for now, here are some of the captured moments:

That boy is not their child btw, LOL

Here comes the famous escalator shots. Sadly I was only equipped with a 17-50mm so....

One shot with the couple :)

Almost there

ALMOST...

A long wait indeed

A promise to her....

...and a promise to him

Once again, congratulations to the both of you!

Shalom's Birthday Party 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 13:38:00 +0000

With a blink of an eye, another year has passed. I was happy to attend(and be Shalom's birthday photographer :P ) Shalom's birthday party again this year. Evelyn's friends came with their own furkids and I'm sure everyone enjoyed themselves. I'll let the photos do the talking. Enjoy.

See you next year!

Photoshoot: Dila with Adidas Neo

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 09:42:00 +0000

This was like an impromptu photoshoot after lunch so not much preparation went into it. As my friend Mike knows more places for shooting, the location was set at an abandoned factory. Our mistake? Not applying mosquito repellent before going there. Nevertheless, the shoot went well I guess.

During the shoot, I really have much to learn. Mike was guiding(or instructing as some might say) Dila on how to pose and giving out ideas while I was a little too quiet when it came to my turn. But all in all, a good experience for me. Check out the photos and let me know what you think.

I was shooting with my D90 and Tamron 17-50mm as I left my Nikkor 50mm f1.8D at home.

Last but not least, thanks Dila and Mike!

Dila's cute sister...awww.. :)

Thinking...thinking.

Golden Palmtree Goldcoast Sepang

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 03:48:00 +0000

I was at Golden Palmtree Goldcoast Sepang in August. The resort was nice but I guess we went at sort of a wrong timing. It was during Raya and there was lack of staffs. Anyway, we enjoyed our stay there. Here are pictures of my trip. Enjoy!

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 05:26:00 +0000

I was down with cough, flu and a feverish body but there I was, at Euphoria by Ministry of Sound at Sunway Lagoon Resort last Friday. Crazily packed but I manage to spot Jason and proceeded to the main entrance without much of a hassle.

Shoot, I got caught. "uh, Hi Babe!"

Awesome music and performances by some of Malaysia's best bands and artist around such as Bittersweet, Pop Shuvit and the lovely Hunny Madu.

Renee's Baptism at Church Of Divine Mercy

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 04:36:00 +0000

Although taken back in 2010, I kinda like the shots that I took for my friend Gabriel. It was his baby's baptism and I had the honour of helping him and his wife, Lauren to capture some precious moments. I was fairly new at that time.

I re-visited this album and re-edited with some Lightroom presets. Once again, thanks Gabriel for allowing me to share these photos. Enjoy the moments :)

Super GT Race Queens

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 05:13:00 +0000

I guess this is what most people would want to see instead of cars. I'm gonna post as many photos of the GT Queens here before blogger cuts me off due to numbers of photos allowed per entry.

And the race begins! (^.^)v

Super GT International Series Malaysia 2011

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 09:54:00 +0000

I attended Super GT International Series Malaysia 2011 last Sunday and I must say, the event was superb! Its been a long time since I last watched a race LIVE so it was a breath of fresh air. Super fast cars, GT Queens and not forgetting the merciless heat from the sun; you get the whole package.

Even though I'm armed with just a 17-50mm lens, I took quite a number of photos. Some photos turned out blurry, lack of detail, panning effect that failed but I'm still going to share them on my photography blog. You may check out the entire album on my flickr account. This post will be featuring mostly cars. I'm saving the GT Queen photos for another entry.

Till then, enjoy!

Misfiring captured!

Gathering of Super Performance Cars!

A sneak preview for you guys :)

Product Shoot: Samsung Galaxy S II

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 03:33:00 +0000

I was lucky to be able to get my hands on the new Samsung Galaxy S II . Thanks to Rebecca, I am able to try out another product shoot with the phone. I kinda rushed through these shots and I didn't spend as much time editing. Anyway, what do you think of these shots?

Cooking 101: Mushroom Soup

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:10:00 +0000

Me and my wife cooked our own mushroom soup about a week ago. The taste was up to our expectation but lack of texture. Anyway, we enjoyed the time spent together as well as the soup of course. You may read about it here.

Here are some pictures of the process but you can view more pictures through the slide or my flickr.

Lotus Flower

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 05:38:00 +0000

I was about to head to work one morning from my wife's place when we noticed the Lotus flower blooming in its full glory. I had my camera with me at that time so I spent a few minutes to capture these pictures. No cropping was done.

Product Shoot: Wine

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 04:51:00 +0000

I had a little trouble with shooting this set previously because I wasn't sure how to compose my shot. I took 1 of the basket laying around my place and even bought real grapes as props. I was pretty satisfied but definitely need more work on composition.

Nevertheless, enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think?

ICOM's Night Out

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 05:12:00 +0000

I was going through some of my folders and found ICOM's Night Out photos taken last year. I had no flash gun and probably the first musical/mini concert photoshoot(if I may say so). Had some time to choose some of my favourite shots and re-edit them with watermark.

The people at ICOM are seriously talented. It's not about the performance but their passion for music. That reminds me, my guitar is collecting dust back at home. Oh well, enjoy the pictures and slideshow.

Kevin and Siti's Wedding Ceremony

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:38:00 +0000

This set of photos was taken 2 years ago using my trusty FujiFilm FinePix F40fd during my cousin's wedding. I wasn't into photography at that time but nevertheless, most of the photos turned out pretty good if I may say so. I had some time to re-edit so I thought, way not.

Thanks Kevin for allowing me to add this set of photos as part of my portfolio :D

Launch of MyFoodBible and MyHappyHour

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 03:56:00 +0000

I was at the launch of two iPhone apps called MyFoodBible and MyHappyHour. I was supposed to review the apps but I wonder what happened to those event. Nevertheless, I got to meet some local celebs like Chui Ling and the ever lovely Amber Chia.

Thong Kai's Birthday Party

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 02:23:00 +0000

My friend, Thong Kai's Birthday Party back in March. Awesome company of friends, good food and Korean ladies, what's not to like?

Enjoy the slideshow :)

David and Jin Jin's Church Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 02:40:00 +0000

I was invited to David and Jin Jin's church wedding back in May. I decided to bring my camera to try out some shots. Some minor editing and added some lightroom presets to add some mood to the photos. These are just casual shots and I didn't move around to snap more.

Once again, congratulations David and Jin Jin!

Running Andrew Photography is Officially Up!

noreply@blogger.com (Andrew) — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 06:07:00 +0000

Welcome to my very own photography blog! The idea of starting one was like ages ago and now, I finally got things started. I will still continue to blog at http://runningandrew.blogspot.com/ but at the same time, I'll be sharing mainly photos on this blog.
