An evening with Brad

I've never told anyone this because I am ashamed... My half brother, Brad Pitt, yesterday dropped by KK for a visit. In our family he's probably the most useless one...

Me: How you doing brother?

Brad: Not so good lah...

Me: Why leh...?

Brad: You know lo...that Iron Lady at home...I always can't go out and have some fun one.

Me: Oh you mean Angelina 'Mata Juling'?

Brad: Abothen?

Me: You really useless you know? When i dating Angelina in high school that time I already told you what kind of person she is...dowan listen your fault la.

Anyway... as the evening went on, we discussed more about how our lives were going and he heard that I was into photography at the moment. So he asked me to take a shot of him. Here's the result...
Dei! Dei! Laugh what laugh! You think funny meh...kemaluan saya besar you know...

DELL

Someone is buying a laptop soon... So these pics are shot for you. Heheh...Notice the nice sexy curves? Shot with an off camera flash with the help of the ST-E2. Flash fired from left side at 1/64 power.

Flash also fired from left and also GOBOed to make sure none of it spills to unwanted places. I like this one better...flash at 1/128 power.

Product Shoot

Recently, I've been thinking how to utilise my external flash. I've also been reading up a lot on lighting, so naturally a product shoot is in order (I've stopped long exposure shots with lighters and torchlights for the time being too coz my neighbors behind me are staring at my room - probably wondering what I'm doing ...)

This is the product shot in plain ambient lighting. Nothing too impressive.

The black cloth is actually one of my black t shirts placed on a chair.
As you can see from this shot, I switched off the lights in the room and used two sources of light. One from my external flash and the other from a torchlight lit from behind. I kind of like this shot but the wrinkles on the cloth are a bit distracting and the subject doesn't look round on the left side.

So I opted for the flashlight to be at 45 degrees to the left, changed the position of the subject and this is the final result. Its actually amazing how subtle changes in lighting can give a very drastic change to the picture. More to come...
