yo bro nice ! err... onie one pic? You have to left click the mouse to go over to next page(s). yup....left click on the bottom corners of each page is a short cut way of switching between pages.... the other way is just like flipping a book like that, you left click anywhere on the page, hold it there and move your cursor, you can actually see the book flip effect...is cool....

Nice! what program did you use for the turning of pages? is a swf file which reads form a xml file, all the files and configurations are in the file, the images are reading from a folder itself... i bought this swf file sometime back as it is rather useful, for those who knows flash, can purchase the fla version, to dump the images straight into it. a swf file to me is more flexible. check out the below site: www.page-flip.com/for those who want to use this effect, just let me know lah...dun need spend money to buy...i can send you my copy....cheers...

May i know what lens did you use to take these photos? Overall it is quite good. I think quite a few are out of focus. However, it would easier for people to give comment if you have page number or title your individual photo. It's cool but I find it quite troublesome to turn the pages.
Initially, it will be quite stress trying to adjust the iso, aperture, shutter speed and etc... the more you practise, it will become 2nd nature to you after a while...
When i was still very new.. always kenna complain how come i so slow...

Hi evershine, thanks for your comments. don't know if we met b4, cos hard to register the face, name and nick for me... ;D most of it i'm using Sigma 18-200, sometimes i switch to 50 f1.8.. yup...i admit some of them the focus is out.....think i too new liao....too many things to set and also those moments that i want to capture happen too fast, therefore sometimes just screw the whole photo.....but must have the never say die attitude haha....will keep on shoot and shoot to practise.... yah..i think i should have some instructions on how to view the photos....actually can just view with a single click.... i still on the way of writing scripts for my gallery...so that it would be easier....anyway..this is just mainly for a nice presentable page for my friend to see hehe...must package up a bit.. ;D Thanks for those who have viewed......

Nice work Bro.
In addition to evershine comments, I think that some of the pictures require fill-in flash to eliminate the shadows especially those indoor shots.
Did you use flash?

nope...i never use flash at all.... i wanted to get a 430EX over the weekend, but was out of stock, and 580 was out of my budget....haaha....i know this sound quite lame for an excuse and i do not like to use the build-in flash, therefore i all shoot without flash. i still need more practise, just scare with flash and everything is too much for me to handle... will try and practise if got chance to shoot again.... thanks USM bro for the feedback

Bro, you are definitely quite daring to shoot an important event without flash. Luckily, the couple is your friends. Technically speaking, not unless you are using fast lens, like f2.8 or below, using flash is practically a MUST for event in a indoor environment. I not refering to the built-in flash. It can't do much. You need an external flash unit. Actually, a 580EX is a preferred. I will tell you why when we meet up. I do understand that you have budget constraint, but don't worry, save it up and get it by year end. Did you notice that almost all the indoor photos have shadows? This is not so nice for portraits. And also, some of the photos are backlit, so the use of a flash is necessary. Nevetheless, it is a good piece of work.
