Congratulation - Mike & Lai

May 08, 2011 in Events, Personal

We were honored to attend an amazing wedding last night; the union of high-school sweethearts, Mike & Lai! You can just tell from the look in their eyes, after 12 years they are still madly and deeply in love with each other. Of course as a photo geek, I brought my 5d for some random snapshots to capture the moments... hopefully they'll enjoy some of these shots I got for them.

Also, I want to note that we attended the wedding as personal friends.. By all means, they hired the talented Kim Le from Kim Le Photography as their photographer, so I have no doubt that they'll have some amazing photos to reflect back on.

THE Beach

May 05, 2011 in HDR, Personal, Scenic

Solana Beach is "THE" Beach... it's the beach that my fiancee and I went on our first date, and it's the same spot where I propose to her exactly 263 days ago! So couple weeks ago, on our way to San Diego we stopped here for a quick walk down the beach, and some self-portrait (or as we call it our own lil' engagement session).

This shot below is our composite shot.. a quick "before & after" shots will be posted on the facebook page, so make sure you LIKE it and check other out-takes + photos

A vivid field

May 01, 2011 in HDR, Personal, Portrait, Scenic

It's that time of the year folks! The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and well it's spring time! Ok, I'm not really that excited as I sound.. in fact it's allergy season for me, so it's definitely NOT my favorite time of the year. Last weekend, I toughed it out and went on a little adventure down to Carlsbad and San Diego with the fiancee. Luckily the allergy didn't kick in, so I was able to have some fun taking these photos. The flower field in Carlsbad is open 'til May 8th, so head out there if you haven't already!

Another 13 shot "Brenizer Method", gotta thank my model for being so patience!

Oh yea more pictures from this trip will be added to an album on the facebookfanpage so make sure to LIKE it if you wan't to see more!

Photo of the day: Study the Eye Candy

April 29, 2011 in HDR

I've lived in LA for most part of my life, and this is a first time I've ever step foot inside the Los Angeles Library. I was never really a "library" type of person, I spent most of my college life at Starbucks. I guess I need noise to actually focus! Anyhow, here's a HDR shot of the LA Public Library interior! Hope everyone have a great weekend!!!

Photos of the day: Red Twist

April 26, 2011 in HDR

Inspired by a fellow photog's shot (http://bit.ly/exgsfW), I was able to find this spot in downtown LA. "Double Ascension" sculpture by Herbert Bayer located in the middle of the old Arco Plaza (now City National Plaza) stands between two skyscrapers and two well known restaurants (Drago Centro & Chaya).

Yumm-o-liciously Fun

April 25, 2011 in Food

My last day of work before starting a new adventure at a new firm = Ecstatic yet bummed... A beautiful friday afternoon exploring downtown LA with the fiancee = Yumm-o-liciously fun (yes, I made up that up)

Bottega Louie was the perfect place for us to try out on that beautiful afternoon. Neither of us have ever been and there's been so many rave reviews about it amongst our facebook friends. Like the saying goes "if it ain't on facebook, it ain't official... " . So with that said.. I hereby quote and agreed with my fiancee's Yelp review: "OMG Portobello fries!! Sooooo good!"

Photo of the day: I miss NY

April 19, 2011 in HDR

Maybe it's because I've always visit New York City as a tourist and never stayed there for more than 4 days... If I were to re-do my 20s all over again, I would totally move here to work, live, and soak in all the hustle and bustle. *This picture is a collaboration work between my fiancee and I

For Sale!!! Canon 24-105mm f/4 L

April 14, 2011 in Personal

Regretfully, I am going to put up what used to be my main "go to" lens for sale, can you believe I actually shot a wedding with this lens (@ f/4 !!!). But hey, you gotta make it work when there are no other choices. Anyhow, I am offer this lens for $900.00 OBO for anyone who is interested (+shipping if you're not around the greater LA County). Heck I'll even autograph it.. just kidding!

The lens comes with everything out of the box, and it's in great condition (I haven't use it for about a year now). The lens hood does have some scratches but no cracks or any damages.

Why am I selling it? Well quite frankly, I haven't been using this lens ever since I purchase the 24-70mm f/2.8 L and I much rather use the money to get a Sigma 85mm f/1.4 or a Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II.

If you are interested, make me an offer by emailing - info@RonLimPhotography.com

Garden Galore

April 12, 2011 in Scenic

There's nothing better than a quick photo shoot to re-inspire and frankly, be away from our responsibilities. Here are some fun shoots from our trip to Descanso Garden in La Canada Flintridge this past weekend. The fiancée was patience enough to model for me with several 7+ shots panoramas, so I gotta give her a shout out here before she stops modeling for my experiments.

Photographers start young these days...

I can't have a photo shoot without some sort of HDR or "Brenizer Method"... in this case, I did both! =)

It's rare that we actually have a picture together.. gotta thank this nice lady for taking this shot perfectly.
