This was the day for my shoes. I bought a new pair of Lotto snickers and thought of taking some pictures of that in my living room only. Set up my camera and SB600 with a 1X1 ft. foldable softbox and started shooting. I ended up using my small Suntax flash (GN 30 ft.) bouncing off the white ceiling. I mostly did some selective focusing keeping the logo in focus, because as they say "Brandname should always visible in any product shot".
I then started my daily take of self-portrait. I went with the setup that I used about 6-7 months to shoot one of my assignments for Lighting class. I think those techniques come real handy when you want to do some shots real quick. I used the wooden blocks with glass on the side of my living room's sofa (which is my throne and on which 'am currently sitting on which with 6 coushions watching Pink Panther-2 and posting my blog) to create light coming through the window pane kind of situation. I used the same 1X1 ft. softbox and an extra diffusion to get a small but soft lightsource kind of effect.
