Practicing Studio Portrait.

2008-09-30T00:17:00.002+08:00

I'm currently trying to practice Studio Portrait. As usual my 'freelance models' would be my nephew & nieces as they enjoy being photographed. Here are some of the results.

Equipment used: Canon EOS 40D,24-70mm f2.8 IS L USM, 50mm 1.4 USM, ST-E2, 430EX & 580EXII stand on the lightstands with white soft umbrella shoot-trough, Backdrop stand with huge blue cloth backdrop.

It's really fun to shoot and proper lighting position might improved more. More lighting technique can be learned from Strobists .

The following pics are the setup of the above pics, as you can see, I have a very small space to shoot. So, one day if me and my wife have our own house, an-office/studio is a must for me. Cheers.

My ride

2008-08-01T22:41:00.002+08:00

I'm a car enthusiasts, especially in a VIPSTYLE. Before seriously addicted into a dslr photography, I spend most money and time on my car, now I stopped buying car accessories even though the passion on cars are still high. Black is the colour and so is this blog. Today I self-serviced my wife's ride as usual where I like to do it by my self. Bought Helix Ultra Motor oil x2, volker iridium spark plug x8, oil filters for both our ride. Today only managed to serviced one car in the late afternoon, and tomorrow will do on the other car.

2008-07-10T22:05:00.002+08:00

Among of all photography magazine, I read a lot of Photoplus (Canon Edition), why? Because it's provide enough guide specifically for Canon User. What I hate about it? It always sold out in the bookstore.

It's Arrived

2008-07-02T23:15:00.002+08:00

My Red+Gold Canon Professional Strap had arrived from JAPAN. It's not the same red strap as Jan Shim's Red Strap which is more wider and isn't rubberised underside.
The material are similar to the original strap which included in the SLR Camera box.
What I like about this strap, I never saw it installed on other people's Canon dSlr, well at least in Brunei. And it feels more lighter than the 40D Canon EOS Digital Strap.
