Another prewed picture, Ira and Cokde. Taken in the jungle track of Kuala Kencana. This has been one of my fave spots since I took the couple's pic. Available light is all needed.
Also want to congratulate the couple for the commitment they have made. Wishing all the best. It's been fun!

Here's a picture from another prewed session. Not a big fan of the couple's outfit but I really like the wooden background. This one is my favorite from the series.More shots can be found on my flickr page.

Been pretty busy lately with prewed and engagement shots. This picture is one of my favorite, actually it was the first picture I edited from this set. Will post some more, stay tuned.

the horizon

This image was taken right in time just before sunset. I was on the way up to Tembagapura with some friends and one of them spotted the gorgeous sky on our left. We quickly parked our car and set for the shot. I didn't bring a tripod so I placed my camera on top of a rock. I was lucky enough to get this shot in that short period of time. Lesson learned: always carry a tripod wherever you go :)
Hope you guys like this one!

of wonders - a picture by jude

Lord of all creation
Of water, earth, and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
The image was taken by my wonderful girlfriend, Judith, who had no idea she has a macro lens until I told her. The lens became one of her favorites ever since. You could easily find her out in the yard these days taking random pictures :)

love in elevation

Here's a picture from a recent photo shoot; a picture of an engaged couple, good friends of mine: Rosie and Bashir.
It was the couple's idea to have their engagement pictures taken in Tembagapura where the couple first met and where both work. This picture is taken somewhere in Mile Post 63 on the way to Tembagapura. The elevation is about 2,000 meters above sea level and the wind was freakin' cold.
This is my favorite picture from the set. More pictures can be found on my flickr page.

for the beauty

For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight.

downtown LA

After some portrait pictures, here comes some of my landscape photos.This is downtown Los Angeles taken earlier this year from the Griffith Observatory. The sky is a bit dark at the time so I've decided to convert the image into Black and White. The result is pleasing, at least to my eyes :)Enjoy everyone!
