THE GLASSES

Photo Information
Camera – Nikon D40
Exposure Time – 1/2s
ISO Speed – 400
Focal Length – 42mm

It was 17 Feb 2009 (Tuesday).  I was requested to be the photographer of our office manager’s engagement. When it comes to portrait shots, I always perceive myself as the one who possesses a pair of dull hands. I am always bouncy to say a clear “NO” to my friends who ask me to be the photographer of their weddings.  Why??  Well, I am not a professional photographer. Plus I have never learnt the modus operandi and the norms of wedding photography.  But this time, I was in a deadlock where I could not say “NO”. I did, more than a dozen times, begged him to hire a professional photographer where I would be giving some snapshots as supplementary cameraman throughout the ceremony. He wholeheartedly declined my offer.  Finally, I listened to him. I decided to give a “go” for him. Luckily, the engagement was just a small party with the audience of some close friends and peers.

It’s just my snapshot of a water glass captured before the engagement ceremony started. Yes, I have a habit of shooting table settings, floral decorations and lighting of every single ceremony I attend.

Dedication: Ko Han Tha & Ma Zar Zar Yamin. May you have tons of lovely moments ahead…

It would be perfect in my opinion if you reduce color situation a little bit. But it is just my two cents.

@ PaukSi >> Thanks for your comment and suggestion. You are true, my friend. The background is just too bright and the main subject’s becomes a bit invisible…

@ Myo Kyaw Htun >> You are right, bro. I should have…

Just to give you some perspective on this.
Some Simon Cowell comment.
I am sure that there are tons of other subjects to put onto you site.
Not enough inspiration in this frame!

I just didn’t want to give you a comment that I didn’t really mean!

:) I have no idea.. you know I am not a photo enthusiastic.. to be honest, I do not know how to enjoy this photo.. maybe it would be better if u want a little bit more description. Or maybe I am so used to your mini stories.

This color (Bright Yellow/Red) is because of the room lighting…You should have tried to change the WB setting on the camera menu before taking it. You can also correct the White Balance in PS or any photo editing software and you can see the different.
Without the description I thought it was taken at the Yogi Damma Yeiktha :)

@ Aung Kyi Win >> Thanks, Saya. I will remember that. Next time, I will definitely try to change the white balance. I am not very much familiar with this WB thingy. Thanks for your comment and really appreciated!!!

Beautiful still life, as is one of the kettles on the stoves.
On the whole a very sensitive and fine artist.
I would like to see more portraits of ordinary people from you.
