Many time when people quoting "friends" problem.......it is actually themselves.....
3 pages liao and TS still haven't shown us how "bad" those pics are? :think:
maybe the ts very humorous...
he know how to laugh at himself, he is the photographer :bsmilie:
Cmon, If you wanna see who have more lens, or cameras, let me know~ LOL~ *I dun like to show off my skills and lots of cameas* Be modest~~.
I want to see, i want to see. :sticktong:sticktong:sticktong
opps.....i must be modest....:angel:
As requested. I do not know to other pple if is only little compare to professional.
But Its my currently "canon system" for now. Minus away 10++ lens, bodies I have sold,trade or given to my relatives/friends earlier. Beside this i have tons of rare Flashes. I am a also a collector of good rare cameras, from sony, canon, nikon, Fuji, Kodak, Minolta, Olympus...etc.
I pick up photography because I love and appreciate all my camera systems.
Anyway, I hate arguing, PEACE to the world~ And God bless those who are negative and also trying to find fault. Make them change and world peace.

I feel sorry for any couple to have their day ruined, but the thing is "Professional" just means someone wanting to charge you money for it...As requested. I do not know to other pple if is only little compare to professional.
Those ppls who know me.....see this will laugh. :bsmilie::bsmilie:
btw, many ppls here are just helpful to see into your friend's problem, giving out this type of posts and remarks is showing very bad on yourself, ego is something one must control in CS to make it a most peaceful place.
Can't take others comments and remarks, then don't start a thread asking for help, what you are doing here is just plain nagging and wanting people to support you. When you fail to get support, you start throwing out funny remarks.

Someone here once wrote, difference between a Professional and Hobbyist is that a Professional will charge you big money for small work and a Hobbyist will spend big money to achieve desired results.
Something like that.
P.S. No offence to all Professionals here, only those without skills but yet dare to charge money.
then, TS got married many times recently? :bigeyes:![]()
some ppl just enjoy doing such, open smelly can of food and run away.
Oh rest assure it's not by catchlight.I know who the photographer is from his website that my friend gave me.
Azul123, thanks, glad you see my point.
I've nothing against wedding photographers. If anything, I hope to see the job grow into a nice, respected profession like those overseas. However optimistic I may be, I don't think it's going to happen. I'm into photography also so I can imagine I don't like wannabes spoiling or creating problems so that's why I feel irked by all those bad pictures taken by seemingly good but in actual fact, bogus photographers.
It's like a rojak trade where these days, anybody or anyone jumps into it. Look at the Wedding portfolios posting and those who are sourcing for a photographer can get one lonnng list to choose from. To be fair, the usual names are good, with some consistently nice works from newcomers also. But there are still many black sheep wannabes who take on wedding jobs like they are out on a casual photo shoot with friends. And it's growing.
The good ones who have made a name for themselves can have a fairly guaranteed source of high-paying customers to survive. But there will be many who are genuinely good and starting out and those mid level ones who will struggle. Cos as long as there are no standards or governing body to oversee and control the trade, wannabes will just spring up and perhaps, just cos they think they have a certain pro equipment, they rule the wedding photography world.
And I must add also, based on what I read from the forums, layman couples who know nothing about photography get impressed very easily. A typical comment would be "Wowww, I like the way the bride is isolated! You are such a good photograher! Can I book you on so-and-so date?" And the typical response from the photographer would be: "Thanks.I'm flatter by your compliments. I am free on that day. Have sent you a PM." Please lor, don't they know the lens has a big part to play in the isolation of the subject?
To whoever wanting to go into this profession, for goodness sake, please also spare a thought for the couple getting married.
Lol....if you see my first post in this thread, i actually support you.
Until now, i still believe what you said about those "pro", as i witness one super expensive pro AD photographer shoot a group photo in morning with his pro lens wide open.....and everyone except the bride is sharp. :what: (i also become part of his pro bokeh)
Everyday there are some many ppls starting up website and print namecard stating that they are super pro when their photo is CMI.
What i can't stand is until you start saying that you also very good because you own many camera......faint.....that what is the difference between you and that so call pro.
Have a nice day and everyone should move on.![]()
Forgive me, I am very poor in my english...
