Ice Gallery in Macau

This is my first time to take photo in the ice gallery.

It located in the fisherman jetty in Macau.

It is very challenging to me coz I live in southeast asia,in the beautiful tropical zone in Malaysia and I have never done ice and snow photography before.

It was a rush trip to get this shoot done,I was told to take the ice gallery only 3days before and I have no idea how does it look like and what the client need.

Inside the gallery is -25'c, thats the coolest temp. I ever experience before( Singapore and Malaysia is about 20'c to 35'c all year ). 

 It's before the gallery open to public so you can see the saw is still on the floor to touch up the art piece. 

The first photo I have to capture is the big arrangement at the entrance,

it a huge octopus~ I love the way they arrange the lighting but I hate the light will change the color is every 3second....

These is all blue octopus with a golden jewel box, looks like very cold and deep under the sea

I'm not sure what is that but I can just say its a flying angel with a music instrument. 

And here come the lovely penguins ~ 

I tried to changed it to black and white at the second photo and it made the art piece looks like crystal clear and big contrast to show the lines.

It reminded me the queen of Narnia~

This is my favorite art piece~ and this is the most difficult shoot.

The color lights change very fast and you have to get the correct timing to get the color that you want and look natural.

And the last photos are the photo I cant decide which is better~

Puppies~

Total are 6 of them.....cute right?~~

Those puppies are only 3weeks old~

I took the photo 3 days after they open their eye (^_^)

8 sorry if the flash is too strong to u dear puppies.

They are pure poodle breed

born the day before Chinese New Year

hahhahaha

But very pity the owner co he have to clean up the blood during CNY eve

Arhhhh~ I'm so sleepy

3Sec later~

zzzzz......

God, I pray to have great meal every day

and I promise that I will be a good puppy.

Its not easy to take photo for puppy

the move all the time

you have to focus very fast 

and capture the moment that you wants.

After I took the product shoot, of couse I take some times to capture the tired and sleepy puppies...

Cute puppies and shoe product shoot. (^_^)

Last week my colleague Sandra told me that she got an offer from a shopping mall asking me to show them some product shoot that I took before, It took me a long time to find the photos.

I suppose to show the client on the next day but too bad last min I have go to Macau for an Ice gallery photo shoot, I should have time to show the client the photos ( and the cute puppies ) but my boss has bought the standby flight for.

( every time I fly very last min to oversea work trip, I did fly off to Shanghai in 3hrs in year 2010....its fun but very tired and always lost some good jobs in Singapore )

Those are the puppies poodle only came to their new world in 3weeks then have to be a model

Maybe they are born to be model?

Oh ya, this is my favorite pic!!! Look at her, sooooooo sexy, just like me :-p

and this him......what an evil eye 

Arhhh, somebody help me~~hahaha

that would be perfect if one of the hand come out from the shoe but too bad, his too heavy to get that

Well, I have to say that this is not easy to take product shoot with puppies.

not like baby, they move all the time.... you have to be fast to capture the pic that you want

you have to focus on the object you want ( puppy or product )

and you have to choose the right timing for the shoot...

and the most important is

YOU MUST LOVE DOG!
