Trojan Madoka
Yet another simple attempt at product photography. Lighting was surprisingly time-consuming to position properly due to the reflective surfaces of the plastic covers and the clock.
Some relevant keywords in the synopsis were intentionally left visible; I find the dissonance between the art style and content amusing.

Powershot S110: Review and Sample Shots
"Differently-abled."
The late George Carlin would have probably frowned upon my use of the term, but I could think of no better words for describing the Powershot S110.
I bought this camera last December to replace my underwhelming IXUS 105. The S110 was released back in September of 2012, but I had intentionally delayed my purchase to see if it would suffer the dreaded lens error which had plagued it predecessor, the S100. Finding no such reports for this iteration of the S series, I finally got my hands on one.
My experiences thus far with the S110 have shown that it is a very capable alternative to bulkier DSLRs and MILCs. Here, I place emphasis on the word "alternative" because in no way is it meant to be a substitute for high-performance cameras. The convenient pocketable size comes with trade-offs, but at the same time, this little gadget has a few tricks up its sleeve which most entry-level DSLRs could only dream of.

Celestial Clockwork
Here is a series of shots that required a little more brainstorming, planning, anticipation, cooperation, measurement, trial and error, improvisation, and luck than usual (even more so than the food photography attempt the week prior which was for another contest).

Smile Service: Openshoot for a Cause
This photoshoot marked my first use of the Nissin 866 Mark II for portraits. By then, I had already recognized the tremendous potential of using external flash, but this event also reminded me of how limited my current knowledge is.

Fireworks displays, and how I(S) blew the shot
Climbed up the water tower with 2 cameras and tripods for a better view.
Shameless self-portrait over. I'll get straight to the point.
If you're shooting on a tripod, never forget to turn off the image stabilization (IS, Canon)/vibration reduction (VR, Nikon)/vibration compensation (VC, Tamron) of the lens. It's a handy feature for handheld shooting but it turns tripod mounted shots into tripod mounted shits, as demonstrated below.
