Last light of the day

Before I start using DSLR, camera is one of the thing that I never have in my mind.  Camera is a girl stuff in my believe.  I was born in the family which I'm the only man in the house, my dad pass away what I was 15 years old.  My sisters both older and younger love taking photo of themselves.  I'm sick of being the one who taking their photo.  By that time, camera never get my attention and I also never care anything that surrounding me.

One days, my younger sister pass away with the same reason as my dad, heart attack.  I was very sad, that feeling hurt my like hell, giving me a fuckin' hard time.  I want to keep my sister in my memory forever but we never taking photo together.  She has one DSLR left for me.  It is Nikon D80.  She love taking photo, she love keep everything in memory by putting them in her photo.  I have an idea.  If I start taking photo, I will know her feeling behind this camera and lens and that can help me keep in touch with her.  We didn't touch each others by body, word, or photo but we have the same feeling behind this camera when we push the shutter.  I miss you so much.  I love you.  Rest in peace, I be here and will taking care of everything for our family, don't worry, just be happy there.

Today, I sitting at the dormitory's balcony and stare in to the sky.  It's in the evening time.  I wonder is my sister up there? Is she happy? What is she doing now? I don't know how to answer myself, so I decide to go and pick up my camera and take some photo.

I believe that my sister will be happy there,  It's so beautiful.  Someday I be there with you...

Lowkey cont'

I still enjoy doing lowkey image and try to create some more work with this technique.  I won't write anything much about this entry, I just want to show my new images, that all!

Lowkey

My teacher taught us about highkey and low key images.  I think it quite hard to understand but I'll try.  Today I will try only lowkey because I can think of what I'm going to do, leave highkey for some others day or when I have an idea about it.

I brought out my lovely warhammer 40k models for today task.  I set up soft box using black linen as a background.  I place one lamp on the left hand side of the soft box, and that the only light generator I have.  I place "Defiler" (Big model) a little bit backward, I decide to use it to make the main subject to be more highlighted.  Main subject is "Terminator Lord" (Small model) which will be placed in front.  Let see how it work.

The reason I'm using warhammer 40k models as my subject because I having a hard time painting them, it took me age just to finish a single one, so it time for them to pay me back.  Work for daddy !

The result is...

You like it !?

Next time you will see my highkey.  I try my best to create the masterpiece for everyone.

@Central World of Thailand

Central world is one of the famous department store in Thailand.  It located in center area of Bangkok where many people passed by from both Thai and foreigner.  Most of the celebration events selected Central world as their location and also this Christmas Day (2011), Central world have an opportunity to stunning their visitor by created a wonderful event and special place for memorial images.

I've been there with my model (my girl), we enjoy our great moment.  I take many photo of my girl but I selected only my favorite one.

I hope we will have a great time together since now and forever.  I love you, Sweetheart...

Only me who work on Christmas day

This shot was complete fluke, I want to create blurring technique on my photo. But when the shot captured, the shade of light is match with the moment.  Only woman security guard is in the sunlight while the others hide detail in the shadow.  

I love it!

I want to name this image as "Only me who work on Christmas day" 

Chilling at university

Today, I brought my D7000 to the university.  I think of taking some stock photo around the campus during my free time.  Well... none of stock photo were taken.  I don't have time for that.  In fact, I do have time but my feeling didn't work smoothly today, so I decided to chilling at the university's resting area.  It too lazy for me just to hold my camera and shoot something.

But.... nothing is always something.

It's cute! right?

Let me try "Stop action" and "Panning" technique

Today I try some stop action and panning technique, due to the class assignment.  I must say that I am studying "Introduction to photography" as my free-elective subject at my college.  My teacher taught us about stop action and panning, he assign us a job to capture 3 photos which include this two technique and one for wide aperture.

I will show you only stop action and panning.

I ask one of my friend to be my model, he just got heart broken for about 3 days ago and I think he need to release some stress, lol.  I tell him that this job is going to be real tough and he said Okay!

It was a sunny day, we decide to select concrete yard in front of our college as our location, it wide, free and receive direct sunlight, it damn hot!

I use TV mode for today's task because I want to control speed shutter and let the camera do the rest.  ISO will be absolutely at 100.

I tell my friend where to run and he must run when I'm showing the signal.  Before we done our job, he have to run back and forward about 6-7 rounds.

After we done with panning, we start stop action technique.  My friend also have to jump, jump, jump and jump until I said he can stop.

I love him so much. he work very hard for me today, so I bought him a bottle of water.  That all he deserved. lol

Let see what we have...

My assistant who never do anything, only sit and enjoy her meal.  Thank you so much, Baby!
