Went to Old Changi Hospital with Chiaki and Lucifer today. Didn’t shoot much of the Hospital as I have no idea of what to shoot. End up shooting the Chiaki’s doll as there is nothing much else that catches my attention.
This trip there gave me some idea of a theme for a photoshoot. It seems rather dark to me. Not sure if it is to you. The theme is Drug.
Too bored at home. Hence, try to shoot some glassware at home. Then realized that the Sambuca that was bought I think 10 years ago was still untouched….. Think is time to drink again. kekeke.
Went to shoot the Yahoo event and Bonfire event. Dunno what to shoot sia for Yahoo. Actually, dunno what the event is about too. Went there since claurene have the ticket. Thanx Claurene. Was late for the Bon fire event and all front rows taken. So, just took a couple of shots and left. Less than 10 mins job there. hahha. Too lazy is the word.
See if you can guess which is my fav picture.
Received a post from Ethan Whites today. It is 2 copies of the Spin Asia magazine. I knew it is the magazine that contains the photos I took during the OSIM triathlon 09. I didn’t expect that they posted the Trifactor 09 and SAFRA Quadathlon 09 pictures too. All taken by me. Kekeke. Really happy to see my work printed in magazine for the first time. This is my first earning from photography.
I went to take the OSIM shots with Derek who is shooting for the magazine and teach me the trade. Learnt from him roughly what the magazine need. His pictures were wiped out in a harddisk crash and the editor had no choice but to call me 2 days before the printing of the magazine to send him my pictures. I guess they sure had a rushing time to edit them for printing.
Remember seeing a poster of a movie years back. Hence, tried to do the same. Inside the picture, there are many difference pictures. Open up the picture to see them. Not much of a PS trick actually. Just pure hard work if you have many pictures to combine to make them become the “pixels”.
mmm. It seems like there is a max size to my photo. You cannot see it 100% here. Click on the link below to see 100 view of part of the cropped picture.
Reshoot my wine glass for the 3rd time. This time, I switched off all the lights, used a torch with reflectors to observe how the lights light up the glass. I have concluded that I cannot take the kind of shot that I want with 1 single shot. Maybe I can but I have not figured how to place the light yet.
Hence, I decide to take 3 pictures. Light up the left side to how I want it to light up. Light up the right side to how I want and light up the rim of the glass.
I couldn’t get the rim lighted up properly alone as I cannot hold the torch and see how it looks like at camera’s perspective. No choice. Just pump it up. Still couldn’t get it right. Sigh. Pumped it up in ACR and merge the 3 photos in PS. Below is the result.
Is it better than the previous shots? I hope it is.
Edited this photo due to comment from people in CS to help me improve the picture. I guess I really need to get a monitor and calibrate it properly. Currently still using my Samsung TV. hehehe.
