Obviously, I'm bored again ... went home early today and played around with my new light tent and macro lens hehehehe. I wanted to photograph vegetables, but alas - couldnt find any. So I just used whatever I was able to grab onto.

I'm just using table lamps and my dining room overhead lamp for this experiment together of course with the light tent. Your comments and critiques will be of most help ... in the next experiment.

Experiment 1: THE GREEN APPLE

I like the bokeh! The shaving cream photos are very saleable to me! Great work. :)

The apple looks a little flat though without any shades and shadows.

Hmmm ... true. But I wanted it to look like a cut out .. but you're right. It does look a bit flat ...

I like the shaving cream photo the best.

So, when will we experiment? Night lamps lang?

BTW, can you try a high key shot?

TFS - saw this one too before but realized that its too much of a hassle compared to just buying one.

Tama ka dyan, specially when you need to bring it around. BTW had this funny experience recently. I ordered a large light tent from Avenue over the phone. Had this idea of large from another brand, but since they dont have that particular brand I'm looking for I settled for a different brand. When it arrived the following day, much to my shock the light tent was LARGE!!! hahaha so large that I can almost fit inside it, hehehe. Next time I wont be too lazy and move my ass instead of just calling. :D:D
