How come when you purchase using your credit card, you feel like you didn’t spend at all… Until the bill arrives of course. Then you faint. Sometimes I wish I could throw my credit cards and never use them ever again. This thought was the inspiration of this picture. Anyway, we got to do what we got to do… How I took it: Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/5 | ISO400 | Dynamic Scene Mode | Square format 1:1 […]
Ideas… crazy it may be, sometimes we should just give it a try. This is our brand new gas range. The oven is yet to be used, so before it gets greasy in there, I decided to put my LX3 to the grilling pit :). Now we know how it looked like inside an oven, oh man… poor chicken. Anyway, it’s weekend! If you want to get crazy, this is it! How I took it : Gear: Lumix LX3, I […]
To think that this is all desert before… it’s quite nice here now. I like to shoot as much as I can with this place because in less than 2 months from now, our office will be relocated in the middle of nowhere. That place will have a lot of sand, dust and nothingness. Wow, I’m so excited! So, here I am trying to capture the place where I have been working for 6 years. I never appreciated its beauty […]
This is me while having lunch… Sitting on a bench in front of the lake. Today I had a subway veggie delight 🙂 Weather is really good lately in Dubai. Very relaxing and calming… Anyway, decided to put the LX3 on the ground and take a shot; this is probably an ant’s perspective… or any insect on the ground for that matter 😀 How I took it? Here you go: Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f4.0 | 1/640 | Dynamic Scene […]
Today our company hosted a karting event for employees. I enjoyed it a lot! This is me with my grudged helmet & racing suit (it’s quite smelly and itchy) but who cares! karting is cool! I took literally 3 shots and 2 of them are blurred… Luckily I decided to take a “stig” shot 🙂 How I took it: Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings : f2.0 | 0.5 | ISO 400 | Dynamic Scene Mode Post processing: A little dodge & […]
Setting up the lights was the easiest part on this photo shoot… Arrangement was the hard part! Anyway, I’m quite happy with the result 😀 These are my 3 lenses (out of 4): Tamron 18-270mm VC (left), Sigma 10-20mm (center), Canon EF 100mm f2.8 (right) Strobist Info: 580EXII + shoot through umbrella on the top 430EXII + blue gel on the bottom Triggered by Canon 7D built in wireless flash transmitter Strobes are set to manual mode Gear: Canon 7D […]
This has been my best friend lately… My daily companion for my 365 Project! My Lumix LX3 together with its friends, Sandisk Ultra II 8GB SD Card and Gorillapod 🙂 I decided to do some product shoot today and since I have been shooting lately with my point and shoot camera for my 365 Project, I decided to give it some sort of a tribute. Anyway, some “strobist” practice won’t be bad! I would love to do more product shoots […]
Today is just busy. Got too much going on at work. I have to prepare for a presentation that is due on Monday and I have zero. Anyway, that’s no excuse not to take a photo. This is a flyover near work. I like the leading lines on this image 🙂 So that is 1 week done! It’s true, time really flies. How I took this shot: Gear: Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20 + Tripod Settings: f/9 | 10 secs. […]
As much as I hate to see my face on pictures… Sometimes we have to let creativity do its thing 🙂 (blame creativity!). This is me driving to work… This is actually a Top Gear inspired angle 😀 A different perspective. Actually, this was taken on my way to the parking (hoping that I’ll get a good spot!). Gear: Lumix LX3 Settings: f2.0 | 1/320 | RAW file Post processing: Adjusted levels in Photoshop CS4 Little dodging and burning and […]
I had a lot of office work today 🙁 Speaking of work, this is our office building. I have been going in and out of of this building for almost 6 years. And this is the first time I took a real picture of it. Anyway, nothing fancy today… What I like about this is the mixture of the blue lights on the floor and the red cast courtesy of the break lights of the car on the left. Taken […]
