Remote Control Test

Camera is 20 meters away and the remote works!
Image shot at 55mm and then cropped.
You can almost see the remote in my right hand.
Handsome?

Another new baby

This is the RM-4D universal camera remote control supposed to be better than the Nikon ML-L3.

It can cover 20 meters (compared to Nikon 5 meters)
It can cover 80degrees angle (compared to Nikon 60)

I shall test it out soon.

Zoom Zoom Zoom

This picdture is shot using a technique called panning. The camera pans along with the main object, so that others will appear blur.

I want candy

Here's the song. There are so many versions of it, but I like this the most.

cuz it's the sexiest.

Let there be light

It is autumn/winter season and any sunshine is welcome

Rim Lighting effect

By placing the sun behind the object and turning on the fill flash, you will get rim lighting effect see the rim of light that outlines the object. Usually if the fill flash is not turned on, you will get a silhoutte instead (which I will try my hands on when I have the chance). But in this case, the front of the object is bright enough, so I didn't turned on my flash.

This effect works better if the object has magnificent hairstyle (like a fro).

Laundry

In Melbourne, there is a special technique to dry your clothes after washing them. You see, during the autumn/winter season, the sun rarely gets scorching enough.

Usually, people have a clothes dryer at home. But to a jobless engineering grad, it is just another burden.

Luckily there are lots of windy days during this season. So, I let the wind to "blow-dry" my clothes. Becareful if you are using this method. Winds are usually followed by rain, so at the sign of the first drop, rush to rescue your clothes.

Please don't be mistaken, the blurry image is not due to camera shake. If it is, the wooden fence would be blurry too isn't it. This is a photography technique called motion-blur. It is able to create a sense of movement in a photograph. This photo was shot at a shutter speed of 1/6 of a second. Can you feel the wind blowing?

black + white theory

I have a theory that black and white photos look more artistic than their colour counterparts
Do you think so too ?

Stofen Trial

I asked my dog on her opinion of my new diffuser, but she doesn't seem to care.

Yay

I got myself a proper diffuser for the SB-400

Rainy Day

Winter is creeping in and rains most of the day, but it hasn't stop me from photographing It got boring after a while, so I decide to get a shot of a drip of water coming off the leaf

Almost

After trying for half an hour, I decide to give up and try more aritificial water drip

super harsh shadows from the direct flash

Flowers

I read on some techniques to photograph flowers.
To create a greater impact, don't photograph flowers from the top, take it sideways or from under.

What do you think?

My back hurts after crouching in an awkward position to shoot from under the flower. Time for some apple juice from Starbucks.

Yes, you heard me right - Apple juice from Starbucks.

Shopping

I hate shopping, because we always go to shops I dont like

and spending money

This bedside cabinet can almost camoflage into the environment.
