QUOTE(Agito666 @ Oct 18 2016, 10:36 PM) Done with 15 LED lights. DIY and connect them with a wire powered by two AA batteries. Really hard to get a proper light sphere. Need some practice. Took us almost an hour to get a few proper light balls. QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 18 2016, 10:49 PM) But keep track of a lot of VR "goodies" hor, if you know what I mean Next time you spin la The light spheres are basically done by using a wire connected to LED lights, and then spun while taking a long exposure shot. The hardest part about producing light spheres is the spinning part, it is very very difficult to get a truly rounded sphere haha.. have to ask DS_Legacy for tips, since he was the one spinning the light spheres for the shot XD |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 26 2016, 02:27 PM) A recent shot taken with DS_Legacy for a company Still can improve a lot. But too bad we are limited by gears Went through a lot of problems to create the shot since we don't really have much. Luckily the client was happy with the results The La Rience watches were water resistant and that's why the "water" effect La Riene Watch Studio Shoot by My Story Production, on Flickr |

The background of the image can be better. We were using continuous lights in taking the shot. If got more flashes and stands, we would have a slightly higher quality image. Since we were shooting at ISO 300 with continuous lights. And we need larger softboxes for better light diffusion. Notice the reflections on the watches, can be improvised one. But ayam still amateur la. Still learning with master PF T.J. |

QUOTE(leongkokloon @ Oct 26 2016, 05:18 PM) Don't too harsh la. Lemme reborn. QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 26 2016, 07:05 PM) Wish I could shoot like them one day. Wahhhh sifu level comment. I noticed some of their shots have the couple framed in only a very small part of the final photo. The photo sort of "missing-the-point" but end up pretty refreshing since no one does that Amazing! Of course, their other photos are pretty good also... see liao will emo Actually I think the only gear we lack of was a better studio diffuser (the shot was taken with an umbrella) Maybe a telephoto lens would allow us to crop less but its not really necessary I suppose I think the shot will be better if we have a better venue/materials to work The "ground" was supposed to be polished tile but ended up we could only afford plastic placed on a piece of black cloth.. The water droplets weren't very "cooperative" either haha Hopefully we will do better next time. For most product/macro shoot, the most important component is still light diffusion imho Let's shoot again next time. The water droplets pattern macam not really natural. Haha maybe next time have to take note liao. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Oct 29 2016, 09:49 PM) I love the 3rd shot, damn majestic! In coming 70-200 VR3 I remembered my last visit to KL birdpark, I had a wonderful experience. I love how many the birds are allowed to roam freely. I've promised to re-visit the place again when I have a telephoto lens haha, really looking forward to it! Keep up the good work |

QUOTE(huislaw @ Oct 31 2016, 09:48 PM) Want to sell off my gear but not sure about the pricing. How do one normally set the price? Wahhh why sell off? Jumpship or quit? D7000 Body 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G 35mm f/1.8G AF-S DX SB600 Flash D60 Body Refer to KLDSLR price then maybe lower the price by around 10% to sell it off easily? Post it in Mudah and Garage sales. You can easily find buyer there. |

QUOTE(pagi makan roti @ Nov 12 2016, 10:38 PM) shoot where? Shallow DoF? You buy the 105mm F1.4? just one thing tho.. i noticed focus point is somewhere on the cheek/neck.. its understandable since we like trained to find high contrast are to lock focus? but i recently read anyhow portrait must focus on the eye. profile - eye, sides - near eye. esp with very shallow dof.. to me its vr hard to do |

QUOTE(yankiat @ Dec 10 2016, 08:05 PM) This group so dead? Last post was 3 days ago. Welcome to the dark side! Anyway I just joined the dark side today ^^ D750 but didn't manage to get a lens as no stock the 50 f1.4D By the way how many of you use back button focus when taking photos? I do use back button focus occasionally |

QUOTE(OOtaii @ Dec 10 2016, 11:50 PM) QUOTE(yankiat @ Dec 11 2016, 12:00 AM) Have to agree with OOtaii Get the F1.8 one instead. It's not easy to focus with F1.4 all the time imho. 1.8 one has more value over your money too. I dont think the 1.4 (triple the price) worth it as much as the 1.8 one. |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Dec 14 2016, 12:00 PM) Our 2nd try at shooting a car, this time back in Agacia, Kampar We should shoot more carsssss! Shots taken with the help of DS_Legacy Photowalk V9- Stationary by My Story Production, on Flickr Photowalk V9- Rolling Shot by My Story Production, on FlickrThe rolling shot proved to be most challenging since the road is very short and "laden" with an abundance of cow dung! Not only do we have to keep both cars straight and within the same distance, we had to make sure to dodge all the cow poop too!

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Dec 21 2016, 10:37 PM) More photos from our recent shoots Autoshoot is bestest Co-photographer DS_Legacy Autoshoot V3- BMW X1 by My Story Production, on Flickr Photowalk V9- Colors by My Story Production, on Flickr Autoshoot V3- BMW X1 by My Story Production, on FlickrThe BMW shoot was again not up to our expectations as we couldn't find any road that is long and wide enough, especially when shooting at a place strange to us... have to make do We've also noticed that glossy paint seems to reflect light differently and normal strobes may not work properly. Apparently the car carrying the photographer has to be chosen wisely as well as some cars have very very narrow windows, can't even lean my body out Hopefully things will be better in the upcoming shoot Bila mau shoot again? |

QUOTE(PF T.J. @ Dec 23 2016, 05:00 PM) Should've asked Oscar (putochip123) to wear brighter-coloured clothes (at least the shirt/pants). We always forget to add in the reflector at the bottom of the strobe light . If we had more time, a 2nd light coming from the right would be nice as well Yeah, apa pun have to take note. Satu aspect lari saja, entire photo macam lack of something :lolLet's do better in the next shoot Thanks for the review sifu! QUOTE(gerald7 @ Dec 27 2016, 08:29 AM) checkout Mill Blackbird Ayam prefer portraits moar. heh, when you put hooman subject in front of car, then primary will look at hooman lor.. so becomes portrait. Im not so experienced in that area so I guess I will give 2 thumbs up for the portrait. hehehe But exotic cars are also nice. So why not both? Thanks a lot. But just like that what sifu PF T.J. says, there is still room for improvement. Will take note next shoot! |
