MSJ Photography Studio Shoot

There was a photoshoot at the MSJ Photography Studio on Saturday and I was only actually there to follow Ki Choy pick up his club t-shirt. It was my first time at the studio and it looked awesome. Since we had time to spare, we volunteered to help and be assistants to the photographers doing their assignment.

I took these photos because I got excited watching the photographers take the pictures, I was itching to take some photos too. At first I was dissapointed because the preview on my 1000D screen didn't look sharp even when the aperture was set at f/11.

I was so relieved when I got home to examine the photos on my computer because they were actually tack sharp showing details all the way to the individual eyelashes. I love this lens xD. Photos were shot in RAW. Images were scaled down and compressed for quick upload.

Thanks to Melanie for the great poses.

EXAM IS OVER!! YAYYAYAYAY!! hahahaha...

I guess the pressure is finally over. I might be able to sleep at night now. Its been so many nights of crazy ass insomnia it was really getting annoying.

I got these on [7/7/09] :D My old pair of sneakers are finally put to rest. Their days of being glued back over and over again are finally...well...over...

Here's a photo of my shoes. It took quite a while to get the proper lighting setup. I wanted to make it really look like an advertisement. :p [not sure if it does]

I barely know anything about lighting so this setup just came up because it looked right to me. :p
Just trying to be creative with the only lighting source I could use.

Creeping Closer

Just as I was wondering what next to post on my blog, I saw this spider on the side mirror of somebody's car when I reached City Mall this morning. I'm not really sure what spider it is.

Just as the spider, my exams are creeping closer so I probably wont have time to get new photos to post on my blog for the next two to three weeks tops. Good news is its the holidays after the exams so hopefully I would have more time to take more photos.

Keep checking back though :)

wish me luck! :D

An Eye In The Sky

It seems like every time that there is a power cut, I go outside to take a picture of the sky. Truth is, I was talking to my neighbor outside because the whole neighborhood was engulfed in darkness, so there was no point staying inside doing nothing. We looked up at the moon and noticed it was creating this sort of colorful halo.

I went back inside the house, grabbed my camera and a tripod and began to take pictures. it was difficult to get a proper exposure of the moon, halo and clouds, because the moon was immensely bright, it hugely overexposed in slow shutters.

I thought of another way to get around the problem by taking a few exposures and rendering an HDR image of it. It was only taken with three exposures so the moon is still slightly overexposed, but at least the clouds got decent exposure as well.
