OooH Toys!!!!!!!!!!

Before i left my company, some of my colleagues had a farewell for me. Ah ... so nice of them. Also got tortured into speech making which i absolutely don't like :P.... To be honest, i did not expect it, am touched they did give me a farewell and was pleased i did not CRY. Acheivement of the day. I will not go into the details of the farewell dinner, it can be read here... from one of my ex-staff and good friend.

However, today i am showcasing my other hobby which is ... Still life photography or product photograpy of ... Anime toys. Luckily they get me a PG rated toy so i can showcase it. :) You know how those anime toys are. I love to collect those which anime i have watched such as Harumi Suzumiya, Full Metal Alchemist and Inuyasha but the list is endless.

I have recently been following the site by Happy Soda on lighting for Product Photography and am trying to make my kiamsap lighting studio with less than RM50. And so i did. I got my old desk lamp ( which is free ), a stand lamp from ikea for 16 but bulb is around 29. Shoe box is free and tracing paper (RM0.50) to make a diffuser. Hehehe..  Of course my twilight books became my "tripod" as i was doing this on the floor.

Results are below. Need to change the bulb a bit but otherwise kiamsap lighting studio is acheivable! It is a bit yellow as it was probably due to the WB but otherwise tweakable. Have the new daylight bulb already, today i will take picture of Neji :)

 

Damn, next time when i start travelling while working, still life photography can only be done once in a while!  Oh well, back to the other type of photography then.... I have a few of these in my cupboard, gotta start taking more man....
