Good site !!!

For your convenience, I post the links here again:

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=281524

I suggest you get some proper lights as the examples shown in those sites. Don't be like me so kedekut

Wow..you can do it I really like it..

hmm.. i like the articles but i think the design is too "sterile".. how can i say it.. too default. i think you know what i mean. you take nice photos who about incorporating them into the blog design?

You cabut the fluroscent light from the ceiling is it?

Thank you!


I know what you mean but I really don't know jack about HTML or CSS. Maybe I'll try googling for some guides and tips when I have the time. Thanks for the suggestion


No laaa I happen to have a spare fluorescent light ma. So make use of it lor
