My alpha journey # 2 : How I develop my skill?

After bought a100 and register at Alpha forum, I meet lot of new friends and always got news from SONY. Friends at forum and SONY management really give very good information and really helpful in exchange knowledge. Sometimes we do have gathering together and have drinks and exchange knowledge about photography. Beside gathering with friends or TT I’m also get so many other benefit from SONY.

My first workshop with SONY is Basic DSLR Photography Workshop at SONY Centre, KLCC. On that day I met another few friends such as George from SONY, Musz ( my best friend now) and many more. This is my first time met George and he really cool and friendly and really help answer whatever questions from participant.The workshop really give me good knowledge about photography such as basic handling DSLR a 100, how to get better picture, better composition, photo editing and many more. That day , Musz get prize from SONY for best picture of the day. Congratulations Musz for very nice picture. This workshop really help me to better understand about photography.

After few months I attend another workshop ( Basic flash Workshop With Ted Adnan ) organize by SONY at Muzeum Telekom. This time workshop conduct by Ted Adnan and I learnt a lot about lighting and flash in photography. This time SONY also lent participants variuos lens from SONY such as Carl Zeiss lens and others. This is my first time attend flash workshop and its really help me to understand how to use flash and set up DIY studio at home. Thanks so much SONY for organize very good workshop and the best part about workshop from SONY is all workshop free of charge and really informative and also very good food and also provide free model.



Beside attends Basic DSLR workshop and basic Flash Workshop, I’m also manage to attend Product Shoot Workshop conducted by Ted Adnan at Barebone studio , Kajang. This workshop are more detail about flash and studio lighting. Very technical and need more attention. Even its one day workshop, but the time running really fast and I don’t have enough time to extract so much knowledge about flash and studio lighting. Ted Adnan also share with participants his artwork, books and magazine at studio. We also do some experiments in lighting and product shoot. This workshop give me more knowledge how to handle flash and studio lighting and product shoot. Attending more workshop organize by SONY really help me to improve my skill in photography.

The biggest workshop I attend organize by SONY is Workshop With Ron Yue ( National Geographic Channel ) at KL Pac. This workshop really make me open my eyes about photography. Ron Yue give so many tips how to improve in photography and also the art of seeing. Photographer who’s understand well about equipment and subject will get better picture even with minimum equipment. Photographer also need to understand well about lighting such as daylight or nightlight .


Another activity that I attend and really help me to improve my skill in photography is Photomarathon conducted by George and Ted Adnan. This activity really help me to organize well my equipment and understand the subject and improve my art of seeing skill. We start shooting from mid day untill midnight and after that we have photo talk session conducted by Ted Adnan. Photo talk session really make me understand how to get better picture and improve my skill in photography
