How to Take a Product Shot


Don't you want to lick it?

Here is the recipe:
  • large window
  • cloudy day
  • digital camera with histogram
  • white paper

Old Processor


I wrapped this old board inside a white garbage bag, and put my flash to the far end. I then adjusted for  DOF, compensated for -1EV and shot with the remote flash. I used an old notebook for red background.

Looking for a decent tripod. At the same time, I am picturing how they shot the A4 - probably a flash bouncing, with a gobo blocking some light on the logo, creating the soft shadow.

Button to the World


Who knew that it is possible to design a phone with one button only? I cannot stop but appreciate the design behind the software and hardware of Apple products. I am in the age where I could not have imagined a decade ago when I was pounding on computers at school. It's simply extraordinary.

I meant, when you look at the new iPad internals, you can almost feel the weight distribution. The engineers relentlessly took the efforts to ensure the product feels right on your hands. They also attended to details such as the Apple logo on the back, which also serves as an antenna - it's beauty, art, form and function combined.

Minatures



Macro is tough. Not enough of depth of field in general, and had to control lighting. I used remote flash, made my softbox, adjusted for reflections.

Still not happy with the results.
