Photo Shooting Setup - Claypot Soup Sungai Ara
After few attempts and trial out at the new D60 camera, we are getting more and more familiar with the setup on the camera. Of course, the quality of photo is increasing.
Each time we have food pornography shot, we will do some experimental to learn and to brush up our photo shooting skill. We had trial the aperture, shutter speed, and composition.
OutDoor Shooting: Warung Kelapa Sawit
This consider our first outdoor food pornography projects. Yes, outdoor, open air under the palm tree. I believe you all might reach here from the Warung Kelapa Sawit review at PenangTuaPui.com blog.
Most of the photo shooting we had so far in under the roof or shaded location. The shooting projects is quite challenging as first time outdoor shot on food. We play around with the shutter speed, ISO and aperture to get the best shot we want. (more…)
3rd Shooting Project: Joo Leong Cafe - Composition
After 2 shooting project on the food pornography at restaurant, we tried our project on the famous roti bakar at Bayan Lepas, Joo Leong Cafe.
During this shooting session, we realized that good lighting is very important for good shooting, not the camera nor the shooting skills. We are happy to get a great day with great lighting as we sit quite near to the front door with brighter environment.
Photo Sharing: Ichiban Ramen with Canon Ixus 55
You might wonder why we had a post on a normal Canon IXUS P&S (point and shoot) photo here since this is a sharing for photo on Nikon D60.
Yes…I know, I had been thinking for nights if I want to include this Ichiban Ramen photo as part of the collection we had so far. I had made up my mind and here is the photo I shoot using a normal P&S camera.
Hope you will agree with me, those photo deserved to be posted here. 
For the review about the restaurant, please kindly drop by here to make a look.
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.
