Rings

Was asked by a couple friend to help take some ring shots for their wedding collage. I must say the bulk of the time spent was setting up, placement of rings. Actual shooting time was much less than expected. There is definitely room for improvement and I have identified a few points in private.

Here's the outcome nonetheless. No serious PS besides curves and crop. As the image will be cropped out for further use, I didn't bother too much about the shadow, dust, reflections (or lack of) and color of background.

La Trappe

Went to Little Part 1 Cafe at Upper Thomson for Friday dinner.
Second time there, and second time having the La Trappe!

This time round, I took the bottle home (with consensus of the Cafe of course) for a photo shoot.

Nice strong beer. + the bottle looks good. Deserving of the effort to setup and shoot!

p.s. I realized my watermark for the product shoots were far too much at the bottom corner (like the Lomo Recesky), so for this round, I shifted it to overlap with the product.

Lomo Recesky

My New Toy!
The newest addition to my toy collection - Lomo Recesky..

A DIY TLR for the price of $33SGD. This price is pretty flexible depending on where or who you get it from. I'm not sure whether I will be passing any roll of film through this, but it is definitely a cheap and good deco to be used at Halia.

Casio G-Shock

Got a new toy for Friday.
Wanted a sporty watch, probably hoping that I will get out and do more sports!
Casio G-301BR-1ADR 2737
Quite different from my previous watch shoots. (Check out here: Product)

Citizen Eco-Drive Moon Phase

Got my Citizen Eco-Drive today!
Given that I've done a shot on my Casio about 4years ago, I did the same thing this time round with the Citizen before using it extensively!

This watch is suppose to be eco friendly. No need for change of battery as it derives energy from light.

Product Shoot #2

Another product shoot.
I just got this watch yesterday. It suddenly struck me today, since it's a Sunday, why not do a product shoot on this watch?

Disclaimer:
I'm not affiliated to Casio in any way at the time of shoot and posting of this photo =). It's purely for personal satisfaction and leisure.

Here it goes. It was done pretty last minute, post processing was at a minimum too as I'm rushing to go out but can't wait to upload the photos! Was quite please with the time spent and results. Of coz, there are several details like the hand blocking the brand name, some unwanted reflection, but for the time spent, I think the results are pretty encouraging. I didn't want to spend time on the little details for this brief shoot. Feel free to comment away =)

I did some post processing. What do you think of this version? I like this one better. Am very tempted to email this to Casio and see whether they are willing to pay for this picture :p
