Minolta Dynax 500si was my first 35mm film SLR camera, I bought it in 2004 from UK with a TAMRON 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, am not using it anymore. In this shot I merge two photos to get this result. and I use my Nikon D90 with SB900 and the lightbox to take the pictures.

Adobe LightRoom2 before and..

Adobe LightRoom is a great tool to add some light/shadow effects to the image, you may add colored lights or take the capture to the B/W channel.

The first photo is a part of the Mosque @ KATARA before any lightroom effect.

Adobe LightRoom is a great tool to add some light/shadow effects and to the image, you may add colored lights or take the capture to the B/W channel.


Here is a shot of a wooden flower vase in my lightBox.The first one is before the LightRoom effect, the light source is from the Nikon SB900 speed light.

In this shot (same subject) I add four lights with colors in LightRoom, and some shadows.[Click the image to enlarge]








Preparing the Scene for a good capture.

December 20, 2010 Leave a comment

It is not that easy, yes you may use the Point and Shot cameras for daily quick capturing. If you want to have a good shot you may want to set-up the scene and arrange the objects in the positions that suit you.

Here is a studio set-up for a shot, I used the natural lights from the windows and the room light, Nikon D90 with Nikon 35mm lens with f/1.8 to get the DOF effect, subjects are Watermelon, Orange [made of candle]and The Chinese’s Porcelainin in different distance from each other.

Here is another view with more details on the set-up and distances.

A shot with focus on the rear object (Chinese’s Porcelain).

And now I just moved the focus to the watermelon and take the camera closer.
