Confused

We had a special dinner last week and I ran quickly in my room to take a shot of my meal. I shoot in RAW. Somehow, I'm not happy with the outcome. But before I go with the shoot details, I wish to focus on 72 dpi. Some photographers prefer to post images online at 72 dpi. What I did is I used 72 dpi at 500x333 pixels. I think that wasn't a good idea. Just click the pic below. Nyarp. :-D But I have a workaround here. I'll post a more improved copy of the pic below when I have the time. It's a busy Monday for me. :)



Criticizing my own work, I think white balance is an issue. It's my first time to shoot using a mini-studio and I discovered setting the white balance is very crucial. Anyway, practice practice practice lang... :)

P.S. Confused... coz this crab pic is giving me a hard time justifying my work!!! lol. I'm looking for areas of improvements. I know there are. I'll show this to my friends for C&Cs once I'm happy with my pic. :)

Shooting Jewelry

My "boss" and I bought some photography gears for product shots last Saturday and I started shooting last night. First in the list is my mom's jewelries (the reason also why I needed to acquire the gears) and believe me, it's not that easy at it may seem! I need to practice more and purchase more stuff needed to get what I'm looking for in the shoot. I'll see what I can get from the mall later. :)

At play

While thinking of product shots, I thought of taking a first step. I haven't bought my equipments yet for a mini-studio but out of nothing to do, I paid a tribute to one of my toys. :)
