Valentines day doesn’t have to be red, it also doesn’t always have to be about romance… Sometimes, it’s about lending a helping hand… being there for that special someone. In the end of the day, valentines is all about love. Gear: 7D + Tamron 18-270mm VC + 580exii + 430exii Settings: f7.1 | 1/250 | ISO 200 Strobist info: 580exii + LumiQuest Softbox III + LumiQuest FXtra + amber gel, placed under the hands, @ 1/64, zoomed @105mm 430exii + […]
Another experimental shot here. Wanted to get a “movie scene/ advertisement” look… Somehow the black & white gave it a classic look that I wanted. Stepping out of my comfort zone here again, not used to this kind of image, but you’ll never learn if you don’t try other things 🙂 Gear: 7D + Tokina 11-16 Settings: f8 | 1/40 | ISO 200 Strobist info: 580exii + a restaurant leaflet rolled as a snoot @ 1/16, zoomed 105mm on top […]
Taken almost 15 minutes before day 44 ! wheew! Today, my desktop PC’s water cooling failed on me… Suddenly the water pump isn’t pumping water to my CPU. I have to drain and clean all the connectors… and hit the water pump to make it work.. definitely not cool!!! Anyways, it came into its senses and suddenly starts working. Another out of this world idea, but sometimes, you have to give it a try, that’s what the 365 Project is […]
Another nail biter… 30 minutes before day 43 🙂 This idea came out of nowhere; I wanted something simple to set up, something that can be done in 10 minutes or so. This was done by holding the shoes and letting it fall on that green chair and while it’s on air, taking the shot and that’s how it came up. Me and my trusty assistant made around 10 frames and this come out to my liking 🙂 And, no […]
I know its not November yet…. (Halloween) I’ve always been fascinated by crystal balls and fortune tellers… I have always thought that my Gary Fong diffuser was useless until now, I don’t like it so much as a light modifier but it’s a good crystal ball I guess 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + Tokina 11-16 Settings: f9.0 | 1/200 | ISO 100 Strobist info: 430exii + gary fong diffuser + mint green gel @ 1/64 @105mm; used as a crystal […]
They say 365 Project is about taking risks, I’ve read that a couple of times somewhere… And I think, that’s 100% correct. If I shoot landscape and architecture shots all the time, I am completely negating the purpose of the 365 project, which is about learning, discovery and creativity. I need to step away of my comfort zone and try something new. This is me taking another risk. Well, I have been most of the time, since I started this […]
Today my concept was movie time 🙂 Another last minute shoot… I didn’t know how this idea came to me but somehow it did. That’s pretty much it for today… Gotta get me some rest now 🙂 Gear: Canon 7D + 50mm f1.8 Settings: f8.0 | 1/200 | ISO 100 Strobist info: 580exii + shoot through umbrella @ 1/16 Trigger: 7D built in Transmitter Post processing: Cropped Adjusted contrast and vibrance Applied a little sharpening on some areas and selected noise […]
I have always played with this setup in my head; I had a lot of other versions… Probably I will have to explore those some other day. But today, this is the one I wanted to share. I wanted to take this picture with the sun up at the window but when I set up my equipments and started doing some test shots, it was too late. Anyway, I think without the ambient light will do just fine for this […]
This is my brother’s guitar 🙂 I always wanted to shoot this but I just can’t visualize it, a few minutes ago, the vision came… and it looks a lot like that 🙂 I received a lot of encouraging messages from my flickr acount and here on my blog; I really really appreciate those who dropped by and sent me a message to give out their support, that means a lot to me, I just wanted to thank you all! […]
I confess, this was a last minute shot. It’s weekend here and this idea just came out of no where. So, I got my speedlite 580exii and attached the Lumiquest softbox III, slid the wireless phottix transceiver on to the flash and popped my trusty lumix LX3 together with the phottix transmitter. Went straight to the sink and with an improvised background and there you go! Day 22! Here’s the rest of the technical yada yada.. Gear: Lumix LX3 + […]
