Sunday Strobist
I was asked to shoot my friend's retail shop in Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road and I thought it was a great idea to play with some off camera flash. So I brought three strobes, a lightstand, a gorrilla pod, pocket wizards. I thought I was prepared.
I was not.
I simply didn't bring enough lights (Could do with 3 more strobes). Nor did I have any warming gels to match the tungsten in the shop or any light modifiers to sculpt the light. If I had done the job as a paid professional, I would have been exposed as woefully inept. But what a great learning experience it was! Now I know a deeper respect and appreciation for PROs like Cory Lum, SimFeeNee who have to light places up. It's not easy I can tell you.
My bad.
Can you tell where I placed my strobes? 3 all together.

I just got this genuine Diana camera on an e-bay auction. I felt it was time to show off my camera's after being on Flickr for over a year now. This camera was never used with all the original stuff including the lens cap, strap, instruction book, flash and Box. Already loaded for action.
