1st Shooting Project: Domino Pizza

D60 Nikon DSLR with 18mm-55mm kit lens, we are happy with the new toy but yet to know how to handle them. I am having the same feeling while I meet my baby boy Tze Xuan on 17th of July 2008. She looks so pretty but fragile. You wanted to have a touch but yet to know if it hurts.

After several attempt, we failed to get the results we want. So we move to use the auto mode. We can’t get wrong with that. We try some shooting at the office area as our 15 min hands on. The photo quality from the auto mode is not convincing, we are expecting more from her. Seems like we need more time to play around with her. But we had no time to wait.

Ya.. without hesitate to try out our new baby girl D60, we brought her together for the first photo shooting project to try out her performance at Domino Pizza. We face a lot of difficulty while playing with the new toys as we had get used to the P&S (point and shoot) camera.

We did try macro mode from Nikon D60, but it doesn’t want to bare a good and bright image and the auto flash always triggered and flipped everytime you try to focus. It is due to the darker environment indoor. It might be influence from my SIFU, TY, I don’t like to use flash at all in any of my food shooting. As it looks deadly with flash. (my 2 cents)..

So with no other choice, we hands on to the manual mode to play around with the shutter speed and aperture. We are lucky enough to get the jackpot and here are the outcome.

I give 80 marks for the first time shooting projects. How about you? Hmmm about the pizza and review, I would think that it is good to refer the review in wording that the photo below. Here is the full review.
