My NEW BLOGSITE!

Hello LADS,

I'm so excited to announce my moved to a differrent BLOGSITE with my OWN DOMAIN NAME and of course HOSTING as well. I know that there are some of you who are my regular followers. I'm referring not only to those who actually wrote and signed up as my followers :) From the bottom of my heart, I'd like to thank you very much! So, inorder for me to entertain you more, I have decided to have a more appealing blogsite where you can leave your comments in each post, that anyone can easily access what you just commented :) Aside from that, you will be able to VIEW my photos in a much more colorful and bigger size which I'm excited on about! ;)

You can still access the posts I've had here at bloggers from my new blogsite coz I have transferred them actually.

Anyhow, it's been a great pleasure using BLOGSPOT! It has put my RANKING on top of any name under DON-K.. :)

But as they say, CHANGES are the only constant in this world and I'm adapting that just like anyone else ;)

From NOW on I will be posting MY BLOG at http://www.don-k-blogsite.com/and you can access it by clicking the mentioned domain name or the icon above! See you lads! ;)

The BiZ!

Here's some notes or maybe an experience so to speak that I would like to share.. Getting into photography business isn't too easy because it's not just about taking photos that you have to deal with. You also have to consider other aspects (more actually), not only on the business side of it but more importantly your partner, your wife, your family.. It is true that there will be times that you'll give up some personal things or time because you have an engagement on a certain time that coincides with your personal life.. but that's the nature of being a photographer I guess? :)

Having said all of these, I'm so grateful that my wife is always there for me.. I heartfully thank her for the kind and so much understanding and the love of course!





Perhaps it's TRUE that behind the success of a man is a woman.. ;)




..and so what's not to love her anyhow? "wink"



Love you sweetie,mwah!

BBQ @ Lisa's

Last THURSDAY, 28th of June 2009 was forecasted to be the start of a good weather here in Ireland until at least TUE.. So, what did we do?!? Instead of goin out running or walking, we went to Lisa's house and had some BBQ.. gaining rather than losing,LOL!

Sony Alpha 24-70mm F2.8 ZA SSM Carl Zeiss Lens

Another exciting moment I had in Belfast was the fact that I had my NEW GLASS collected there at CALUMET.. Oh man this new glass is fantastic, it's razor sharp! and of course I love the bokeh it's producing! So brilliant! Though it's heavy but what do you expect with a tank built technology ey?! Maybe I'm just used to my prime SAL 50mm F1.4 lens and my Sigma 28mm F1.8 lens that's why :D But so far, this is a really great zoom lens, NO contest! :)

Here's a peek...













Here's some few samples taken with my new glass:

Camera used: DSLR Sony Alpha 700
Settings: AWB, No flash, ISO used ranges from 100-400, Focal lenght and Aperture varied

NO color correction, just straight capture!, resized in photoshop!

Sigma 28mm F1.8 EX DG Macro

After a long time of research from the internet reviews, I have finally ordered another NEW PRIME LENS.. Not only I ordered but It has arrived today already! I was so excited to rip the box and see it and especially how it performs!

I wasn't disappointed with the result! FANTASTIC! SWEET! CREAMY! Now, I would really say I'm loving prime lenses so much! Really!

Here's how it looks.. MY new wide angle lens SIGMA 28mm F 1.8 SONY ALPHA MOUNT/FIT








Here's some sample shots guys! TAKEN/SHOT by my new lens straight from the camera! Resized in photoshop!






















I was amazed how close/near I can go and it still locks and clicks!

My ALBUM collections

Talking about MY ALBUM collections.. They come with mini ones, of course it depends on the couple if they want to have mini duplicates of their main album. Though I would always suggest to have those mini ones because it's handy for them to bring in to their work to show co-workers during their breaks and of course to give souvenir to their parents.

Here are some shots of my wonderful suitably FAB sample albums collectively selected from different top album companies.. :)
