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...

Breakthrough in studio lighting...

Recently I've been experimenting a lot with lighting and how it will affect the subject in a photograph. After quite a discussion with some of my friends we realised how expensive good quality studio ligthing equipment can actually be. It doesn't have to be that way though....

Introducing the all new Ted Earl LiteSphere LJ System!

At RM1888.88 only, this baby can be attached to ANY flashgun and will be a useful tool for all your photography needs.
The Ted Earl LiteSphere LJ being attached to the 580EX II Speedlite using a I66Ew adaptor(the yellow thing).
The Super Anti Static LiteSphere cap that uses high tech materials to keep dust out.
The fantastic space age material will ensure perfect diffusion of light rays from the flash gun to your subjects.

The...er...Omnibounce.

To show you an example of how useful this thing will be, I've prepared a set of test shots to further convince potential sucke....er...heheh....sorry, i meant customers.

Without flash.

With bulit in flash. As usual the 'deer in the headlights' look.

With the flashgun only. It produces a natural lighting effect. Not too bad.

Wahhh... Look at the difference! This is what the system can do for you today.

And if you order quickly, we will even throw in a special bounce card. While stocks last!
