Foto and stuff

Posted: December 18th, 2006 | Author: Greg Gigon | Filed under: photo, stuff | 6 Comments »

Today I was asked by my Wife to shoot some pictures of her Christmas cards. Yes, She is making cards, and I think She is very good at it. Anyway, it was good exercise for me to take some photos with flashgun and try to do something with bad light inside our so called office. First, let me show you the mess that need to be done, in order to make one card (or half card) :)

Mess in DA Office

In a mean time, while writing this post, I’m chatting with Miron, friend from Poland. He is horribly tired from shopping at Tescos, where he spent most of his money. I have promised him to put his in this blog in this post. So here he is :)


Ladies and Gentlemen, cards’ pictures.

These are picture of cards I have taken tonight. Flash was used as fill in and directed into cards. I have taken this picture of an elephant figure in a same way.

Next pictures were taken with flash bounced from ceiling with one stop plus on extra power.
Puzzle Rubiks cube
Pictures with flash light bounced from ceiling are really much nicer then with flash directly into items.

Was good exercise for me anyway. Now I know how to deal with flashgun. I hope you have learned something as well kids. Till next time.

    Really nice cards. I hardly imagine me and my wife do something like this – it’s good you have spare time for such works.

    In terms of pictures – I suggest playing with WB function in your camera – I think it is not the best WB settings you could set. Or, if you shoot with RAW, then PSP processing will give very nice results.

    Cheers

    I was not doing this cards, just showin off my Wife’s work :)

    And WB was intentional, to add warm light to pictures in cloudy rainy English winter weather :)

    Thanks M8 :)
