Congratulations to Jeff and Ting Wedding Ceremony.

已经很久没有更新我的部落格的内容了,真得很抱歉!! 我最近所拍的照片累积到hardisk都容不下了,我想下一次应该有很多题材写吧。除此之外, 我也把blogtheme都更换了而且我在想白色的theme或许会令我坚持写下去。反而黑色的theme给我很沉默和懒惰的感觉,心里作用吧!!
I have to apologize for didn’t upload my blog for long period. Currently, I been doing a lot of photo shootings and my hardisk has almost out of space. Hopefully they will be more entry coming soon. Besides, I have change my blogtheme to white version. Dark theme might making my site look dawn and lazy so I give it a change.

关于这对新人的婚事,我想应该已经过了一个月了。 在这次拍摄手法上我做了一些颜色上的改变,我降低了颜色的饱和度同时调高色调和温度。再经过PS的过程便呈现以下照片。
This post had been pending for almost one month already. I have done some changes on my color style by boosting up the contrast and tempreture. At the same time I tone down the color and saturation. After process in photoshop and its show like the picture below.
