Open House Che Peah….

October 26, 2008 | Filed Under Daily Life, Photography, Potraiture | 4 Comments

Che Peah held an Deeparaya Open House for TFC (Total Football Club) members…TFC was established since 1998…

Che Peah appointed me as AJK Payung (strobist) for his open house. Therefore, I brought my light stands and my 3 Nikon SBs. I used the Panasonic Lumix LX3 which is a compact digital camera to shoot the portraits. I also got my cheapo wireless radio trigger with me.

The setting was: 1 x SB800 shoot thru white brolly on top of camera

1 x SB26 and SB28 bare as key lights.

Towards the end of the session, the wireless trigger transmitter was running on low battery…therefore it did not trigger my SB28 properly. So I had to settle with just two strobes.

Question of the day….

October 23, 2008 | Filed Under Photography, Q & A | 2 Comments

I’ve got someone asking me about Nikon D40x CLS(creative ligthing system) or off camera flash capability…So,I decided to post it here so that maybe anyone else can read it too….Below is the question in Malaysian Language…therefore my answer will be in Malaysia language as well…Anyway, I’ve got the answer within two minutes on the internet….so I guess maybe you can find the answer too

Question:

“em nikon d40x boleh guna wireless tak?
nak try blajar strobe hehe”

Answer:

D40x punya build in flash tak dpt trigger ur SB600. Unless ko ade SB800, ko boleh set SB800 tu on SU-4 mode..tu kira “slave” mode..then guna build in flash on “manual” mode utk trigger SB800 itu.SB800 tu kira ade optical sensor..so bila dia detect flash..dia pon trigger sekali…

so option ko ialah beli la wireless trigger seperti Pocket Wizard ataupon cap murahan dari china (PT-04).Wireless trigger ni ialah satu alat dimana ia mempunyai “transmitter”/pemancar signal dan juga “receiver”/penerima signal.So yg transmitter ni ko letak kat atas hot shoe camera ko then the receiver letak kat SB600 ko…then bila ko press shutter…ia akan trigger flash ko juga…

So, aku rasa…the cheapest option..ko beli la wireless trigger murahan tu…dlm RM100+ kot..

Sekian.

Location: Suria KLCC

Assisting Matt photo shooting for the Suria KLCC magazine which will be out donno when…below are some pictures taken by Nany Malissa…with her Lumix LX3..

It was tiring…moving from one place to another…one end to another end…but it was really nice to get the place ready with props such as real food…so we can makan after completing the set…

There was proper model hired for the photoshoot as well…but I think they are just tall and pretty..but both are a bit stiff…hard to get the pose that we wanted…

People from advertising firm M&C Saatchi was there too..they were the one art directing…to get the pictures that was what on their mind…
