I just completed my latest panorama project – a virtual tour of the Royale Chulan Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Hopefully this will bring more mileage to my 360vrshots.com brand. I would like to see more resorts, restaurants, bars, commercial and exclusive properties make use of this media in their marketing.
The cover of the latest issue of Macworld was shot with an iPhone 4, believe it or not, of another iPhone 4. And the image is fantastic coming out from this 5mp camera.
Peter Belanger is a photographer for Macworld magazine and he has posted a time lapse of the process of shooting to the final print of the cover of Macworld. Quite interesting. See it here:
Had 2 different food shoots consecutively one day after another. Been doing a lot of food photography lately. It’s been nice and the food tastes great too. Here are just some highlights.
Met a friend who owns a Lamborghini Gallardo recently and we were toying with the idea of doing some shots for his car. So we made a date and met up in town, then decided to drive to Putrajaya and do the shots there.
The weather was not good at all with an overcast sky. I went ahead with the shoot anyway because it wasn’t easy to convince the guy to let us shoot his car and I didn’t want to tell him to reschedule for another day. This is my first time doing an actual car shoot on location and I’ve learnt that shooting cars on location is really, really time consuming. There are a lot of factors to weigh and it took time to position the car exactly the way I wanted it. Also looking for good locations takes a lot of scouting and driving around.
I didn’t want to waste a lot of his time so I quickly chose a couple of spots for the shoot. I know now if I was ever going to shoot a car again, I would take a drive the day before to scout around for a few good spots to shoot it. After the shoot he took me for a short spin and the acceleration I experienced was a lot more than what you feel on a plane that was taking off!
