I’ve been playing with lights, when time has allowed. Softboxes, umbrellas, flashes, triggers: The whole strobist thing. Alas, much of my photography lately has been product shots, nothing too exciting.
The above was shot a while back. As I was setting up for some product shots – with models – a colleague walked on to the set and busted out a move that would make Zoolander proud. A little post production with Nik EFX and voila.
My beloved 40D is being healed by the doctors at Canon Hong Kong. It’s been repaired – at 1/3 of the price I paid for it. Let his be a lesson: Even a few raindrops and DSLRs don’t mix. I am stuck in visa limbo and can’t travel to HK to pick up the refurbished 40D. I can’t even ask, as The Clash once did, “Should I stay or should I go?” I won’t have my resident permit for another week. My old Canon 400D is driving me looney.
I need a new camera. I can’t decide between the Canon 5D Mark II or the new Canon 7D. The former is full frame, super-sharp, and great in low light. The latter has amazing autofocus. With a house to reno I can’t afford either, but I’d like to have something to aim for.
Hopefully, during the Chinese New Year holiday I can shoot some new photos (when I am not painting Chez DIY).
I hope it wasn’t your colleague’s “move” that sent your trusty 40D to the repair shop. A great shot.
