Memfokuskan titik POI pada makanan tidak berarti harus selalu menggunakan macro, meskipun fungsi macro sangat bermanfaat untuk memberikan jarak close-up pada tekstur makanan tersebut.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Di dalam food photography, makanan merupakan primary element, sementara property penunjang berfungsi sebagai secondary element. Property dapat menunjang keindahan sebuah frame, menjadikan makanan tertata secara representatif, tetapi kelebihan property akan merusak daya tarik makanan, dengan demikian makanan akan berfungsi sebagai secondary element ketimbang fungsi utamanya sebagai primary element. Kecuali untuk pemotretan property, tentu makanan akan berubah fungsinya menjadi secondary element.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Mari kita lihat beberapa contoh berikut:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh-contoh Property Minim&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2375223008/&quot; title=&quot;coffee cupcake by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;coffee cupcake&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3003/2375223008_cc52bed494.jpg&quot; width=&quot;356&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Contoh di atas adalah salah satu upaya untuk menekankan POI pada makanan saja. Tidak ada property yang merusak dan menjadi&amp;nbsp;ambient, hanya tebaran beberapa roast coffee beans. Fokus murni ada pada cupcake. Pandangan mata seketika berada pada POI tersebut.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2314068496/&quot; title=&quot;plum chocolate clafoutis by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;plum chocolate clafoutis&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3077/2314068496_9784f5bd21.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Foto di atas juga memfokuskan pada clafoutis sebelum pada akhirnya mentok kepada kitchen towel sebagai secondary element.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2616967319/&quot; title=&quot;pear plus #1 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;pear plus #1&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3078/2616967319_a643429401.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Penambahan property tidak mengurangi nilai tambah pada makanan. Di atas, property tambahan adalah sauce jug dan saringan gula (yang diletakkan di tas piring). Fokus tetap pada makanan. Memberikan titik POI pada makanan dapat diperjelas dengan menyiramkan saus/dressing/taburan, dsb. Dengan demikian, makanan tetap menjadi primary element.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/4243308126/&quot; title=&quot;Mud Cake Cookie Sandwiches by HomeMadeS by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Mud Cake Cookie Sandwiches by HomeMadeS&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4045/4243308126_f09b18daa7.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Property yang dipakai di atas adalah keranjang, bunga, rose dan kupu2 yg terbuat dari royal icing, juga napkin. Fokus utama tetap pada Mud Cake Cookie Sandwich.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh-contoh Property Maksi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Menggunakan banyak property sah-sah saja, apalagi jika anda ingin mengkreasikan sebuah peristiwa atau menceritakan sebuah scene. Konsep jelas sudah harus digarisbawahi, dengan demikian property dapat dipilih sesuai konteks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 1&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2523313772/&quot; title=&quot;sourdough english muffins by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;sourdough english muffins&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2181/2523313772_fefd65e20b.jpg&quot; width=&quot;332&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Konsep tentu adalah sarapan pagi dengan sourdough English muffins. Ada element2 property yang saya gunakan di atas untuk menambahkan kesan homey (HomeMadeS is all about home-making, iya ga?), dengan a jar of lemon curd, doilies putih yang ditumpuk secara random di sudut bagian bawah untuk mengesankan pagi yg cantik, lalu sedikit sisi keranjang di bagian atas untuk breaking the colour, supaya tidak insipid dengan dominan putih.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3705131837/&quot; title=&quot;banana and cassava pudding by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;banana and cassava pudding by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3424/3705131837_99202bd4f6.jpg&quot; width=&quot;310&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Konsep yg saya bawa di atas adalah buka puasa di bulan Ramadhan, dimana kolak pisang dan singkong populer sebagai menu pembuka. Banyak property dipakai, tetapi bagaimanapun, mata anda akan dibawa untuk memulai investigasi dari kolak di mangkuk tengah atas, lalu kemudian berputar searah arum jam/atau sebaliknya, lalu kembali ke tengah atas dimana primary element berada.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tentu mengolah property di dalam satu frame tidak mudah. Anda harus mempertimbangkan letak, ukuran property, juga warna supaya tidak mengganggu kenyamanan primary element dalam kedudukannya sebagai POI.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 3&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/4032902027/&quot; title=&quot;Moon Cake by Arfi Binsted 2009 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Moon Cake by Arfi Binsted 2009&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2754/4032902027_fd305c935c.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Konsep di sini adalah tea with moon cake a la Chinese. Yang terpikirkan olehku pada saat itu adalah mug China yang aku beli dari sebuah toko barang2 khas China di Auckland, lalu sebagai background adalah lilin kuil yg dibeli kangmas ketika mengunjungi sebuah kuil di Hong Kong beberapa waktu lalu, juga taburan dried green tea leaves di belakang sebagai background, related to China theme. Bunga kering di sebelah Moon Cake tersebut adalah Moon Flower yang sengaja aku keringkan setiap Summer untuk mengisi vas bunga ketika bunga mawar tidak lagi bisa menghias meja di saat Winter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Jadi pada prinsipnya, sebuah theme dirangkum dalam satu scope sempit supaya berhubungan satu sama lainnya, menggunakan property yang ada. Terus terang, Moon Flower muncul di saat setting terakhir, dan ketika ditambahkan pada frame dapat menambah nilai estetika dan femininitas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contoh 4&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/4373926477/&quot; title=&quot;snacking right-pregnancy-ab2010 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;snacking right-pregnancy-ab2010&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4373926477_cb8f8c47d9.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Konsep di atas adalah Snacking Right for Pregnancy dan dikreasikan dalam sebuah morning scene. Bunga matahari dalam vas menjadi sebuah symbol keceriaan, ditingkahi dengan gorden yang sedikit terlihat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Keep jeprets!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif;&quot;&gt;Minggu ini, saya quote tulisan Michael Ray, seorang food photographer professional, salah satu fotografer favorite sekaligus &#39;guru&#39; online saya, sbb&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;If there is too much entertainment and not enough information, and you’re failed as a food photographer. Too much information and not enough entertainment (interest) and you have a boring photo&lt;/i&gt;&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;Bagaimana kaca mata anda menerjemahkan quote ini, tergantung dengan seberapa besar pemahaman anda tentang food photography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;Memahami karakteristik sebuah benda membutuhkan sepasang mata yang kritis. Seberapa detil liku-liku sebuah sajian sepasang mata itu akan dengan seketika mampu menelaah mana tekstur, bentuk, warna, atau dekorasi yang mampu memainkan peranan penting dalam food photography dan akan mampu membuat sajian yang terfoto menjadi sebuah iklan yang representatif.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;Anda bisa melihat sebuah steak, misalnya. Bagian mana dari steak yang menurut anda mempunyai karakteristik tersendiri dan mampu menggugah selera orang banyak? Apa yang membuat anda tertarik? Perhatikan lebih lanjut, apakah steak itu sendiri yang membuat anda tertarik, apakah seluruh penyajian, apakah karena cara penyajiannya?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;Tentu tidak menarik melihat sebuah steak, plain di atas piring anda. Sepotong daging, apa menariknya? Tapi jika anda bermain dengan sebuah styling, saya yakin sepotong daging yang hampir tidak ada artinya itu akan menjadi lebih menarik. Dengan penambahan potongan wortel, misalnya, mashed potatoes yang lembut, serta salad hijau yang segar, saya yakin anda akan lebih tertarik untuk menikmatinya dan barangkali tertarik untuk mencari tahu dimana steak tersebut dijual.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;Begitu juga dengan makanan-makanan yang lainnya. Keindahan sebuah food photography tergantung dengan kritisnya mata anda, pemahaman anda tentang food photography baik secara umum maupun khusus, penguasaan fungsi-fungsi kamera, dan seberapa dalam tekad anda untuk sedikit lebih jauh bereksperimen plus eksplorasi dunia food photography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 10px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 10px;&quot;&gt;Saya perlihatkan kepada anda foto2 hasil jepretan saya yang saya nilai boring:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Makanan bukanlah serangga yang memiliki karakteristik bentuk bagian tubuh yang ingin bisa ditangkap secara mendetil karena sangat kecil dan hanya lensa/fungsi macro yang mampu menangkap detil tersebut. Foto di atas termasuk dalam kategori BORING!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia, serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;FP memerlukan sebuah konsep, yang mampu menceritakan kepada kita semua betapa lezatnya makanan tersebut. Meskipun memakai macro, masih diperlukan setting yang sesuai dengan gagasan semula. Kita tidak perlu membaca deskripsi yang anda tulis, tapi justru&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;tanpa deskripsi pun, foto mustinya sudah &#39;berbicara&#39; sendiri&lt;/b&gt;, sehingga audience punya &#39;feeling&#39; terhadap foto tsb, dan&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;dapat membayangkan kelezatannya tanpa harus diceritakan&lt;/b&gt;. Karena tema kali ini adalah In Love With Food, aku mengharapkan sekali ada &#39;feeling of love&#39; di dalam foto2 entries nanti. Jika anda punya cinta terhadap makanan, tuangkanlah perasaan itu ke dalam foto anda. Feel, feel and feel. After all, love is all about feeling.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;FP&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;tidak memerlukan banyak polesan manipulasi&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;seperti landscape atau abstract photography pada umumnya. Menaikkan brightness-contrast, cropping yang tidak perlu, watermark, dll seperlunya saja. Over saturated akan membuahkan foto yang tidak natural. Over brightness-contrast akan menghilangkan detil di foto anda yang justru memegang peranan penting di dalam presentasi. Over sharpened akan menambah grainy di dalam foto anda, apalagi jika anda salah memakai shutter speed di kondisi tertentu. Jadi pintar2 saja&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;melatih kepekaan mata&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;untuk yang satu ini.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;FP memerlukan&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;lighting yang &amp;nbsp;pas, yang mampu mendukung dan menonjolkan detil makanan&lt;/b&gt;. Lighting yang terlalu keras akan menghasilkan bantingan bayangan yang keras pula, misalnya bayangan di bawah piring, di sebelah gelas, dsb. Penggunaan diffuser perlu diterapkan di sini, atau geser obyek foto anda lebih jauh dari sumber cahaya. Menggunakan reflector juga sangat membantu untuk membuat seimbang asupan cahaya pada obyek. Namun, juga perlu diperhatikan, terlalu banyak cahaya akan menghasilkan lighting yang flat, tidak berdimensi, dan sekali lagi akan mampu menghilangkan detil makanan tersebut.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;FP memerlukan komposisi dengan mempertimbangkan bentuk makanan, berbagai ukuran properties sebagai elemen pendukung, dll.&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Menggunakan rule of thirds banyak membantu penyesuaian komposisi&lt;/b&gt;, meskipun tidak mutlak, tetapi sering berhasil memberikan komposisi yang seimbang. Aku tidak rekomendasi posisi foto miring2 seperti akan tumpah.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;FP memerlukan styling, yup!&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Tanpa styling, makanan tidak akan terlihat menarik&lt;/b&gt;. Meskipun memakai property sederhana, jangan jadikan alasan untuk tidak bisa menghasilkan styling yang aduhai. Lihat2 lagi artikel dan link2 yang pernah aku dan Dita berikan di halaman kipas angin, ya.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;FP memerlukan aesthetics, erat kaitannya dengan styling. Hewan tidak termasuk dalam faktor estetis dalam FP, tapi bunga kering, keranjang makanan, napkin/serviette, garpu/sendok, dll. Jika anda berani, anda bisa menambahkan faktor &#39;action&#39;, seperti lelehan saus, menuang susu ke dalam teh, dsb.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;margin-left: 15px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dare&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;il&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #fcf7bd; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;&quot;&gt;to&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;challenge yourself&lt;/b&gt;, salah satu mottoku buat maju dan berani maju selangkah demi selangkah. Ga ada jiper dan minder spt admin bilang, kalo anda betul2 memperhatikan setiap elemen2 food photography yang aku yakin sudah sering diworo-worokan oleh bu guru Riana di setiap kursus FPnya, aku yakin dari satu foto ke foto yang lainnya anda akan temukan sebuah progress.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Apalagi ketika ada detik-detik dimana matahari cukup terang meskipun sudah turun. Kondisi seperti ini menerbitkan satu keinginan untuk memanfaatkan sinar matahari ini, jangan sampai disia-siakan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oke. Selama 2 hari berturut-turut, aku memanfaatkan afternoon low light ini, mengejar di sudut ruangan mana yang menerima cahaya ini, dan bagian mana yang menghasilkan moody light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa waktu sebelumnya, aku bereksperimen dengan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3714882829/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Oat S&#39;mores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, memakai sinar matahari untuk menghasilkan moody light. Cuma diprotes karena pemakaian reflector di bagian bawah biskuit menghalangi tercapainya &#39;moody&#39; light tersebut. Mental note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kali ini ketika kesempatan yang sama datang lagi, aku berkesperimen dengan walnuts, yang kebetulan sedang banyak-banyaknya. Ada beberapa setting yang aku lakukan tanpa reflector, sebagian lainnya aku gunakan untuk menampilkan detil walnuts yang curly. Semua foto di bawah ini memakai kamera dan lensa yang sama seperti postingan2ku terdahulu. Dan tentu saja: NO FLASH, dan selalu pake RAW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3747467975/&quot; title=&quot;walnut-1 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3747467975_ac5bdea2dd.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;walnut-1 by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/200, Apt: f/2.8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3748257986/&quot; title=&quot;walnut-2 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2603/3748257986_31f7a69707.jpg&quot; width=&quot;334&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;walnut-2 by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/100, Apt: f/2.0&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3747468829/&quot; title=&quot;walnut-4 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3747468829_c7ecbd6730.jpg&quot; width=&quot;344&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;walnut-4 by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/150; Apt: f/2.5&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3748257316/&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4091 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2520/3748257316_b0f654a908.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;IMG_4091&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/200; Apt: f/2.8&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3748259046/&quot; title=&quot;walnut 5 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2627/3748259046_59ce9d6aaa.jpg&quot; width=&quot;352&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;walnut 5 by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/250; Apt: 1/3.2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2009/07/food-photo-experiment-memanfaatkan-low.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2575/3747467975_ac5bdea2dd_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-8705650992587042812</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2009 07:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-16T19:11:30.239+12:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">food photography</category><title>Click: Bi-Colour</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3726158896/&quot; title=&quot;pandan cupcakes-1 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2499/3726158896_02c2883a05.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;pandan cupcakes-1 by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An entry for&lt;a href=&quot;http://jugalbandi.info/2009/06/click-july-2009-bi-colour/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; Click: July 2009 (Bi-Colour)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://jugalbandi.info/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Jugalbandi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2009/07/click-bi-colour.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2499/3726158896_02c2883a05_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-9157106232931727894</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-26T17:14:43.192+12:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">black and white</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">food</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">food photography</category><title>[Food Photo Experiment] Food in Black and White</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Beberapa hari belakangan ini aku sangat tertarik mengeksplor dan bereksperimen dengan food in monochrome (black and white). Setting ada di kamera, kalo anda pake SLR. Sebetulnya ini trial and error dan lifetime experiment, karena semakin ke depan, semakin terbuka kesempatan untuk tahu lebih banyak seperti apa sih food in black and white? Kira2 nilai appetizingnya sama ga dengan foto2 makanan yang berwarna?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3196398410/&quot; title=&quot;garlic power-bw by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3117/3196398410_1056dfc6a5.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;garlic power-bw&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Dimulai dengan beberapa shoots bawang putih tempo hari, masih ingat foto yang di atas ketika aku posting &lt;a href=&quot;http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2009/01/food-photo-experiment-garlic.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Food Photo Experiment: Garlic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;? Lalu aku perlebar dengan makanan yang dimasak, dan setting sesuai dengan selera food styling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Semua hasil jepretan di bawah ini memakai kameraku yang setia aku pakai hingga sekarang, sudah menjadi teman karibku, yang paling sering aku elus2 hehehe... Canon 400D dengan lensa favoritku 50mm f/1.4. Lighting semua natural, memakai sumber cahaya matahari yang memantul dari jendela. Semua picture style aku pakai monochrome, jadi bukan colour. Selain itu aku selalu pake RAW. Kalo untuk 1 GB biasanya cuma bisa nyampe 80-84 kutikan, tergantung dengan berapa berat kb yang terambil dari satu shoot dengan shoot lainnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3659371302/&quot; title=&quot;Still Life-Apples by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3406/3659371302_3af9d4c13d.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;Still Life-Apples by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 100&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/30&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/1.4&lt;br /&gt;Focal length: 50mm&lt;br /&gt;Flash: not used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Kalo untuk still life kayak apple begini, tingkat appetizingnya dimana ya? Kemaren karena mengejar sinar matahari yang sayup2 karena musim dingin pelit banget sinar matahari, jadi settingnya dibikin seminimalis banget dan hanya fokus kepada bentuk dan curve yang ditimpali dengan dimensi lighting, untuk memperjelas bentuk dan lekuk apple tersebut. Tapi menurutku sendiri untuk ukuran menggiurkan atau tidaknya kok belum kerasa ya? Kemarin terbit keinginan untuk mengiris apple tersebut, tapi sudah ga keburu karena sinar matahari semakin menghilang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3658575079/&quot; title=&quot;Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies by arfi binsted copyright 2009 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3630/3658575079_2b1d747e85.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies by arfi binsted copyright 2009&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/160&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/2.5&lt;br /&gt;Focal length: 50mm&lt;br /&gt;Flash: not used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Eksperimen pertama sih satu atau dua biskuit saja, tapi kok ga seimbang dengan hot chocolate yang foam-nya setinggi gunung. Permainan level kayak gini tricky juga, sih. Aku belum puas dengan foto ini. Diambil sekitar pertengahan hari yang cahayanya dipantulkan dari jendela dapur, sambil baking, weekend kemaren. Sekali lagi memilih setting sederhana supaya ga terlalu ribet dan memfokuskan ke dimensi cahaya untuk memperlihatkan bentuk, ukuran, dan kelezatan makanan. Not my best, I don&#39;t think, tapi ayo lah maju terus! Kalo ga trial dan error, mana bisa dapet petunjuk ya ga?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3659613670/&quot; title=&quot;steaming hot pot pies by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3409/3659613670_49697de96b.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;steaming hot pot pies by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt; Exposure: 1/100&lt;br /&gt; Aperture: f/2.0&lt;br /&gt; Focal length: 50mm&lt;br /&gt; Flash: not used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Pot pies. Uhm... tadinya setting ISO diubah2, dari 400, 100, lalu 200. 400 terlalu gelap sedangkan 100 terlalu terang. Jadinya aku putuskan pake 200 aja. Settingnya juga sederhana aja, fokus pada pot pie. Kehadiran steam yang keluar dari bawah pastry menurutku satu POI yang enerjik. Tadinya mo pake TV tp karena cahaya matahari ga memadai, ya sutra pake M aja, dengan setting di atas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3661969506/&quot; title=&quot;coffee and chocolate self-saucing pudding in black and white by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3573/3661969506_49eef3ab0c.jpg&quot; width=&quot;322&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;coffee and chocolate self-saucing pudding in black and white by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 100&lt;br /&gt;  Exposure: 1/100&lt;br /&gt;  Aperture: f/2.0&lt;br /&gt;  Focal length: 50mm&lt;br /&gt;  Flash: not used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Eksperimen terakhir, so far. Terus terang, memotret makanan dari coklat susyeeeehhh... masalahnya gelaps, bo! Teksturnya suka ga kelihatan. Ini juga aku belum puas banget. Kayaknya musti pake dua atau tiga reflector buat menampung dan mengisi cahaya berhubung sedang Winter. Kalo Summer mah satu aja udah kinclong hehehe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kalo dibandingin foto2 makanan B n W dengan foto2 manusia atau potret mungkin ga bisa ya? Mungkin kedua kategori ini musti dipisahin, soalnya ga sama. Gimana menurut temen2? Coba aja bandingin foto2 di atas dengan foto2 potret atau kultural di bawah ini.

Hingga sekarang pun aku masih memakai barang2 &#39;lama&#39;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sempat mengeksplorasi tiga set ini untuk &lt;a href=&quot;http://slfphotography.multiply.com/journal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;SLF#4: Food and Props&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; yang dihosting sama &lt;a href=&quot;http://darrellmom.multiply.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Novita bulan ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3412358141/&quot; title=&quot;Props SLF by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3403/3412358141_78bb1eb63d.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Props SLF by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;335&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menggabungkan earthenware dengan keramik. Ini beberapa property yang sering aku gunakan, termasuk bunga kering yang Summer kemaren aku keringkan sendiri. Menurutku sih penambahan bunga mampu memecahkan monotonous frame. Di dalam foto ini bunga tersebut aku sertakan sebagai penambah dekorasi dan memantapkan keberadaan saucer dengan printed bunga tersebut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3416765828/&quot; title=&quot;SLF Props and Food-2 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3351/3416765828_a186bb9db5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;SLF Props and Food-2 by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;327&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warna-warna prop yang natural aku suka banget. Seperti di atas, semua buatan kangmas. Warna-warna kayu dan sapuan abu-abu sering aku pakai di foto2 sebelumnya. Selain karena aku bangga dengan karya-karya suamiku, aku juga mengagumi handmades dan berasa natural banget, sesuai dengan banyaknya karakter foto2ku. Meskipun banyak orang yang tidak terlalu tertarik dengan naturalisme, aku tetap pada gayaku ini. Warna-warna natural berikut setting natural memang sudah menyatu dengan jiwa dan gaya hidupku.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3415960639/&quot; title=&quot;SLF Props and Food-3 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3362/3415960639_1600429bfa.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;SLF Props and Food-3 by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;323&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wine glasses dan wine bottle tidak terlalu akrab dengan setting dan styleku. Karena aku sendiri tidak pernah minum wine sehingga tidak tahu bagaimana setting yang tepat untuk mengekspresikan cita rasa wine itu sendiri. Gelas2 wine berbagai bentuk dan warna ini tidak ada satupun yang aku beli, semua hadiah dari almarhumah tantenya kangmas. Wine itu juga hadiah dari salah satu pria yang sudah keluar dari grup counselling kangmas, say farewell with a bottle of wine. Dia tidak tahu kalau kami muslim. Jadi sejak January 2009 itu botol tidak pernah dibuka. Aku masih kurang menyatu dengan setting ini. Entah apa pendapat teman2 semua? Silakan masukannya.</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2009/04/slf4-food-and-props.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3403/3412358141_78bb1eb63d_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-7037229616834669426</guid><pubDate>Sat, 28 Mar 2009 19:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-30T07:16:04.353+13:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">insects</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">life cycle</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">nature</category><title>Magical Moments</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danaus_plexippus&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Monarch Butterfly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; always come to our garden every year in late Summer or early Autumn. In order to help them undergo metamorphosis and to watch its steps as a part of our home-schooling science program, we plant swan plants, also known as milkweed, in our garden, to attract them, provide them food, and then lay eggs. (Have a read my journal of &lt;a href=&quot;http://homemades.blogspot.com/2007/04/raising-monarch-butterflies-journals.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Raising Monarch Butterfly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3383070061/&quot; title=&quot;curiosity by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3279/3383070061_ef245575b7.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;curiosity by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The curiosity is building up when we see butterflies are fluttering over the swan plants, and stayed there for hours, to sip the nectar and lay eggs. My children will count tiny eggs and watch them every day until they are hatched to be a tiny larvae, growing to be a big and fat caterpillar. Fascinating, really!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Here are some of the magical moments I have captured to mark the days of science as a life-long learning of science, nature and life cycle, as well to be aware of clean and green environment as to help maintaining Monarch butterflies generations and preparing them to migrate later on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3393842372/&quot; title=&quot;gentle touch by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3566/3393842372_2739021f1d.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;gentle touch by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;My little girl is always fascinated by butterflies and here, she&#39;s trying to get her to move to her finger tip.

They like the Buddleja plant, which grows in the back of the shed. We often place them there for their first food while strengthening themselves to get ready to fly and migrate.

Bagus juga idenya, mengangkat gagasan tentang bumbu dapur. Aku baru tadi siang bergabung dengan SLF di group MP, dan belum dapat konfirmasi jika berhasil atau ndak, dan sudah payah aja baca aturan2nya (payah nih mataku, musti tambah lagi minusnya), jadi aku putuskan untuk solo-experiment aja.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karena hari ini aku banyak waktu luang karena ga masuk tap dance class (gusiku bengkak bo! riskan kan jingkrak2 hihihihi) dan anak2 main ke rumah eyangnya, aku memilih untuk mengeksplorasi coriander. Aku panen sendiri ketumbar ini dan dapat sekitar 300g-450g jadi jangan heran kalo masih ada tangkai2nya. It&#39;s pain in the **se memanen ketumbar, FYI hehehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, dah aku eksplor, hasilnya begindang. Semua pake Canon 400D dan lensa 50mm f/1.4 dari Canon juga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3340589466/&quot; title=&quot;coriander seeds by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3545/3340589466_eda9bbc443.jpg&quot; width=&quot;329&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;coriander seeds by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/1.4&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/50&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Background: black cloth&lt;br /&gt;Lighting: Natural&lt;br /&gt;Flash: Not used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3339759421/&quot; title=&quot;coriander seeds-2 by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3643/3339759421_c3eea30278.jpg&quot; width=&quot;341&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;coriander seeds-2 by ab &#39;09&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/1.8&lt;br /&gt;Exposure: 1/60&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Background: black cloth&lt;br /&gt;Lighting: Natural&lt;br /&gt;Flash: Not used&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selamat menikmati jika bisa dinikmati, silakan kritik jika ada yang dikritik hehehe...</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2009/03/food-photo-experiment-coriander-seeds.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3545/3340589466_eda9bbc443_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-139094273331205937</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-04T15:46:17.685+13:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dark background</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eksperimen</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">food</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">food photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">still life</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">tomato</category><title>[Food Photo Experiment] Tomatoes with Dark Background</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3251477567/&quot; title=&quot;In Red We Trust by ab &#39;09 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3518/3251477567_d84d6fe3d1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;In Red We Trust by ab &#39;09&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;335&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/klubberanibaking/discuss/72157613131265097/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Flickr-KBB Food Photography&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; kali ini mengusung tema &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/klubberanibaking/discuss/72157613168376872/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Dark Background&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Eksperimen ini mengasyikkan, karena dimensi hitam sebagai latar belakang sangat challenging untuk mampu membawa warna dari sebuah makanan menjadi lebih &#39;keluar&#39;, lebih benderang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Teknisnya mungkin agak sulit, tapi bisa kok diutak-atik. Dari foto2 yang aku upload di sini semua memakai alat-alat sederhana, tidak ada olahan dari studio dan tidak dipoles berat di software pemoles foto, karena aku sendiri ga begitu pintar poles memoles. Yang aku gunakan hanya menaik-turunkan brightness dan contrast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Percobaan pertama aku pakai lensa standard 18-55mm, dengan setting speed, aperture dan exposure yang berbeda. Dari kecepatan-kecepatan yang berbeda, muncullah beberapa visi yang berbeda pula, kualitas yang berbeda pada hasil akhir jika dibandingkan dengan lensa 50mm f/1.4.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuTfvTtTHNZk5EVn_ZkVNUFdPcVYVuMXYvHckOUkX2eVe2TLPRSgHXRFQx-XX1e8PEWYrXTSqjiUItafmy4J4MOtObBJF8muFCDQWa9FBmvoJP56uCOjcKw6XEl5EJxtyN4WOpIObAN0/s1600-h/tempat+shootingnya.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAuTfvTtTHNZk5EVn_ZkVNUFdPcVYVuMXYvHckOUkX2eVe2TLPRSgHXRFQx-XX1e8PEWYrXTSqjiUItafmy4J4MOtObBJF8muFCDQWa9FBmvoJP56uCOjcKw6XEl5EJxtyN4WOpIObAN0/s320/tempat+shootingnya.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298766972948757362&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Background yang aku gunakan adalah gaun malam yang aku gantungkan di kaitan jendela. Posisi tomat berada di atas bejana. Ruangan ditutup dengan gorden. Meja saya letakkan di bawah jendela dengan gorden tertutup tetapi masih menyisakan sekelumit cahaya yang dipantulkan di atas tomat. Cahaya inilah yang memberikan dimensi pada detil tomat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kalau lihat dari warna hitam gaun malam dengan selembar jilbab yang aku bandingkan, gaun malam lebih memancarkan warna hitam yang lebih solid ketimbang yang jilbab. Bisa dilihat perbandingan warnanya di atas. Jilbab lebih bernuansa biru-navy. Jadi yang aku pakai hanya background memakai gaun malam untuk menghasilkan dark background yang lebih mantap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anda bisa memulai dari speed yang paling tinggi, rendah atau sedang, jadikan ini catatan dengan aperture mana yang dapat berfungsi beneficial satu sama lainnya hingga menghasilkan jepretan yang bermutu. Semua bisa dilakukan jika ada kemauan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, who says home-made food photography ga bagus?

To tell you the truth, I&#39;ve been meaning to explore garlic and it is already on my list this year, for still life art. I may be having a fever, but the garlic gives me strength.

Perhaps, it need a chemistry between the photographer and herself in the mirror, mind you, I am NOT a model. Not used to goggle in front of the camera and felt really odd. Other than brushing my hair or applying face cream, I never put myself in front of the mirror for hours. It&#39;s not that I don&#39;t appreciate what I&#39;ve got, but I think I don&#39;t have the value to be photographed, rather than to document for my kids when I am dead, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I have to do this. This is only one of many elements in photography other than food that I am exploring. I am still kind of speculating what I am doing here, because I am not really interested in me. There&#39;s nothing &#39;delicious&#39; about me, really. However, I&#39;ve done it and I still need to go through it, perhaps not in the meantime. I like to capture food more rather than myself. I appreciate if you have or have not the feedbacks for me. I can understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3152294162/&quot; title=&quot;me and sarah by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3216/3152294162_a0d1210677.jpg&quot; width=&quot;340&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;me and sarah&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3152294330/&quot; title=&quot;me, myself and i by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3103/3152294330_102644fc4f.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;me, myself and i&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3151461801/&quot; title=&quot;me, sarah and bibbie by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3106/3151461801_81f5c6a54a.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;me, sarah and bibbie&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3151465741/&quot; title=&quot;selfie by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3092/3151465741_59ef2838d9.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;selfie&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy New Year!!</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2009/01/foto-experiment-self-portrait.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3216/3152294162_a0d1210677_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-5861952925870273492</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Dec 2008 03:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-20T17:03:18.559+13:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">black</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eksperimen</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fruit</category><title>[Food Photo Experiment] Black is Back!</title><description>YUM! Another series I have been working on. Instantly a favourite theme this season. It seems everyone is getting into something more rather than just bright light or high key lights on food photos. You need to get out of your comfort zone for once in a while, don&#39;t you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&#39;s not that I am discomfort with black background or everything in black, but it is another extra attempt for the experiment sake. Knowledge can&#39;t be stopped in just finding new things in your square box, ey?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the series I&#39;ve uploaded is on black. You know what? Not as easy as it looks. Lighting plays an important role here, I can say. For I am only using natural light, there I also am playing around with composition and tones. There&#39;s no smaller light or umbrella reflectors whatsoever to support the images. I don&#39;t even need any of those.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the results. Like it or not, it is a MUST for you to do it yourself :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3120666289/&quot; title=&quot;onion in black by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3107/3120666289_a63010cdf3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;onion in black&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;Onion in Black&quot;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;I thought I pictured one breast, but it is true it is more like an eye ball or rather. Taken in one late afternoon when it was so quiet. The light is coming from the my kitchen windows. I got around 100 photos of this and it is only this one I am satisfied with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Focal length: 50.0mm&lt;br /&gt;Exposure time: 1/50&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/1.4&lt;br /&gt;Camera Model: Canon EOS 400 D&lt;br /&gt;Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3122020758/&quot; title=&quot;berries in black by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3089/3122020758_fa321e61ed.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;berries in black&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;Berries in Black&quot;&lt;/span&gt; #1&lt;br /&gt;Harvested more berries from the garden.&lt;br /&gt;I used black background using black cloth. There&#39;s one note I am taking here with the styling, though. The red colour coming from the two strawberries are quite a dominant tone in here, together with the woven bamboo mini basket pattern. I should have arranged the strawberry on the front to the left side of basket rather than letting it on vertical mode with the one in the basket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Focal length: 50.0mm&lt;br /&gt;Exposure time: 1/20&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/1.4&lt;br /&gt;Camera Model: Canon EOS 400 D&lt;br /&gt;Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/3121193819/&quot; title=&quot;berries in black2 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3288/3121193819_0c21fdf931.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;berries in black2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&quot;Berries in Black&quot;&lt;/span&gt; #2&lt;br /&gt;Using the same berries with different bowl, made by my husband.&lt;br /&gt;The background I use as the backdrop is the bricks from the old fireplace indoor. The light is still coming from the kitchen windows. I only use a door from my pantry to hold the direct light from the left side of the object. I used soft focus just the last minute as I am looking at the overall result. I just like the softness of the image on this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EXIF data:&lt;br /&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br /&gt;Focal length: 50.0mm&lt;br /&gt;Exposure time: 1/50&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/1.4&lt;br /&gt;Camera Model: Canon EOS 400 D&lt;br /&gt; Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey, let me know what you think!</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/12/food-photo-experiment-black-is-back.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3107/3120666289_a63010cdf3_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-1093811496155838426</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Dec 2008 22:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-18T11:29:10.282+13:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">FF#11</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">foto fun</category><title>FF#11: Sillhouette Photo</title><description>&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8lAQ8EC0yP_1KYdnST4Xm0lK28pwI7I9FM5cMmUzjqM6MZ85Ps7Bl8ousRPelPeukhVt0z3CGj1-xGtH7YfxOZ6K1BmL-d72iShwI8NN9lOo2ViqGxVV4eS_w304RmMCCC6vW9F0yJw/s1600-h/IMG_2494.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq8lAQ8EC0yP_1KYdnST4Xm0lK28pwI7I9FM5cMmUzjqM6MZ85Ps7Bl8ousRPelPeukhVt0z3CGj1-xGtH7YfxOZ6K1BmL-d72iShwI8NN9lOo2ViqGxVV4eS_w304RmMCCC6vW9F0yJw/s400/IMG_2494.JPG&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judul: Main Layangan&lt;br /&gt;Lokasi: Onewhero, Tuakau, New Zealand&lt;br /&gt;Camera: Canon PowerShot A520&lt;br /&gt;Focal Length: 5.8mm&lt;br /&gt;Exposure Time: 0.001/s (1/1000)&lt;br /&gt;Aperture: f/6.3&lt;br /&gt;Flash: Not used&lt;br /&gt;ISO: not recorded (not sure why)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fotofunmp.multiply.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Foto Fun&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is initiated and organized by &lt;a href=&quot;http://aliciapoth.multiply.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Alice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ngada8siwe.multiply.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Patty&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://dmimi.multiply.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Mimi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Baru tahu hehehe... Abis jarang banget online di MP. Gpp, masih ada waktu buat ikutan yang ini, sengaja untuk menjelajahi ruang2 fotografi yang belum tersentuh. Hebat pengelola FF ini! Sip deh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terus terang aku seneng banget ada event2 seperti ini karena lewat event seperti inilah ada pelajaran lain yang sebelumnya tidak pernah terpikirkan. Selain makanan, alam atau humanis, sudut fotografi asesoris seperti ini jarang sekali masuk dalam kategori experiment list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kemaren aku sudah coba beberapa kutikan memotret perhiasan, ternyata susah juga ya. Soalnya konsepnya kudu ada hubungannya dengan feminitas, sementara aku sendiri ga begitu dekat dengan sisi2 kewanitaan spt ini. Aku memang sloppy hehehe... Tapi anyway motorway highway, kukeluarkan juga jurus wanita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhmmm... wanita itu pasti ada sisi2 yang paling menonjol: wangi dan perhiasan. Konsepku ya itu. Aku berkesperimen dengan beberapa perhiasan yang aku punya, dengan latar belakang &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2986324464/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;hitam&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; dan &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2986325422/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;putih&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, dengan perhiasan yang sama. Aku kirimkan dengan background putih untuk FF#4 kali ini hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://fotofunmp.multiply.com/journal/item/10&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2986325422/&quot; title=&quot;jewelery6 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2986325422_0c065f6195.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;jewelery6&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/10/ff4-assessories-wanita.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2986325422_0c065f6195_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-7676726840643262146</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-13T16:31:01.970+13:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">foto</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">HFP</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">home-photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">konsep</category><title>Home Photography #4: Concept</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnWIhyFC7kFZ45jEEnXuceJeHKszRzSdLNy5cunkDGn2B6vRS_mRNhfmrhPRuwDP8nR1D_5O45uNesK5XmvVUckdnaxOET5CfiDO7R2h1Y14FNiBp-Z4mnP4uueKi3N25LtiHrLZeki_Y/s1600-h/logo-homput-konsep.png&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnWIhyFC7kFZ45jEEnXuceJeHKszRzSdLNy5cunkDGn2B6vRS_mRNhfmrhPRuwDP8nR1D_5O45uNesK5XmvVUckdnaxOET5CfiDO7R2h1Y14FNiBp-Z4mnP4uueKi3N25LtiHrLZeki_Y/s200/logo-homput-konsep.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256475012846081042&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seperti kata &lt;a href=&quot;http://last-bite.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Dita&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, memotret emang kudu ada konsep. Kayak mengarang buku juga kan kudu ada konsep atau kerangka ide supaya ceritanya ga kemana-mana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebagai entryku untuk &lt;a href=&quot;http://last-bite.blogspot.com/2008/10/home-food-photography-4-konsep.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Home Food Photography #4: Konsep&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, aku mencoba untuk berkonsep di outdoor brunch, setting di kebun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aku memang sedang tertarik untuk bereksperimen di outdoor food photography karena aku masih ga puas dengan eksperimen2ku yang lalu dengan konsep yang sama. Menurut &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/mwhammer/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Melina Hammer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, seorang fotografer profesional yang aku sangat kagumi karena karya2 beliau yang sangat natural--satu visi dengan aku--dan karena juga aku merasa sangat beruntung beliau selalu menyempatkan diri mengunjungi karya-karya food photography-ku di Flickr dan memberikan kritikan berikut pandangan2nya (ga cuma sekedar &#39;ah gue ga suka ini-itu kurang ini-itu&#39; tapi alasannya apa?), kalau outdoor food photography dengan konsep piknik atau semacamnya bukan dilihat dari semaraknya kain yang melapisi atau picnic rug, tapi justru it&#39;s all about food. Ya, makanan masih tetep menjadi komponen yang prominent yang perlu di highlight di sini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dari beberapa eksperimenku &lt;a href=&quot;http://homemades.blogspot.com/2008/09/crusts-fun-for-click.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Crusts untuk Click&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; tempo hari (ga menang hehehe yang penting maju terus pantang mundurrr) aku masih menunggu2 hari2 yang bercuaca bagus untuk memulai eksperimen lagi. Tahu sendiri kan iklim di NZ itu kadang2 panas, the next minute it will rain, gitu terus tuh, ampe bingung mau jemur pakaian apa ga ya? Begitu lihat di atas huaaaaa cerah ceria nih, gegap gempita jemurin pakaian, eh belum abis ngeluarin cucian, dah basah lagi. Apes dah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kemaren-kemaren itu kebetulan cuaca emang sedang cerah meskipun masih ada rintik2 hujan jua. Biarin, yang penting motret jalan terus. Anak-anak juga udah kangen sama piknik, jadi oke deh aku akan bikin konsep outdoor brunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2936143669/&quot; title=&quot;outdoor brunch  by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3236/2936143669_a89be229c6.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;outdoor brunch &quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Konsepnya: breakfast-lunch (brunch) di luar. Tempatnya aku pilih di kebun nashi (buah pir/pear Jepun) dengan property natural untuk memberi kesan country banget. Di kampung kan memang serba natural dengan anyaman basket, meja dorong kayak punyaku ini meskipun tua banyak kegunaannya terutama kalau kami sedang menyelenggarakan pesta kebun, juga perlengkapan piknik yang sederhana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untuk lighting, aku hanya mengandalkan cahaya matahari. Meskipun cahaya sedikit kuat, penempatan meja di bawah pohon sepertinya mampu menyaring kekuatannya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2936145595/&quot; title=&quot;outdoor brunch-element1 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3272/2936145595_987ebd9957.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;outdoor brunch-element1&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karena outdoor, banyak sekali elemen-elemen yang bisa aku pergunakan untuk melengkapi konsepku. Misalnya, ekspresi anak-anak, selai yang belepotan, juga ice pop yang meleleh. Perlengkapan nampan di foto di atas merupakan elemen untuk menambah warna cranberry juice di dalam jug yang ditambahi dengan irisan apel dan segenggam mint segar lebih keluar dengan warna kontras latar belakang rumput yang hijau. Semua ini serba natural karena aku hanya menggunakan alam untuk membantu fotoku untuk lebih hidup. Misalnya dengan jarum2 rumput yang berbeda ketinggiannya dapat memberikan sense of art tersendiri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2936147085/&quot; title=&quot;outdoor brunch-element2 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3205/2936147085_64b7e23ab4.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;outdoor brunch-element2&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memfokuskan ke dalam makanan itu sendiri memang masuk dalam konsep dan bisa jadi merupakan plot utama. Sebagai seorang fotografer, pasti mata kita terlatih untuk mengabadikan obyek-obyek yang unik, seperti yang aku bilang sebelumnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2937005494/&quot; title=&quot;outdoor brunch-element3 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/2937005494_0d2ccb3bcf_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;outdoor brunch-element3&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2937007366/&quot; title=&quot;outdoor brunch-element4 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2937007366_c61db25003_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;outdoor brunch-element4&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barangkali foto2 ini belum menjadi foto2 yang layak untuk dijadikan barometer untuk outdoor food photography karena aku pun masih belajar, tapi setidaknya aku masih akan terus berkarya selagi masih mampu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep jeprettsss!</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/10/home-photography-4-concept.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnWIhyFC7kFZ45jEEnXuceJeHKszRzSdLNy5cunkDGn2B6vRS_mRNhfmrhPRuwDP8nR1D_5O45uNesK5XmvVUckdnaxOET5CfiDO7R2h1Y14FNiBp-Z4mnP4uueKi3N25LtiHrLZeki_Y/s72-c/logo-homput-konsep.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-5824253935701351110</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 16:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-20T04:46:36.966+12:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fast speed</category><title>[Foto Experiment] Action Shots</title><description>Mungkin bukan hanya sebuah eksperimen, tapi experiment by doing while going. Ada beberapa unsur kesengajaan, ada juga unsur ketidaksengajaan. Spontaneous juga kayaknya termasuk faktor yang menguntungkan jika berhadapan dengan obyek yang bergerak cepat. Setidaknya memang harus menggunakan aperture yang lebih kuat untuk membekukan action, disambil dengan setting continuous shooting supaya setiap gerakan dapat terekam. Toh jika memang ada yang gagal dapat ditimbun di tempat sampah, sementara yang layak tayang dapat diedit dan disempurnakan dengan cropping, dsb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anak-anak sedang bermain di orchard, kebun buah2an. Saat itu sedang ramai-ramainya game di Olimpiade dan mereka tidak ketinggalan menonton semua cabang, termasuk atletik. Salah satunya lari rintangan. Ben meniru melompat gaya atlit2 tersebut, sementara Sarah asyik melompat naik dan turun dari potongan kayu yang tersisa dari pohon Jacaranda yang ditebang dua tahun yang lalu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2870526204/&quot; title=&quot;action 123 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3180/2870526204_c6b0d96bf2_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;action 123&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2869696681/&quot; title=&quot;action by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3149/2869696681_5496cca05c_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;140&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;action&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ketika masih merawat kupu-kupu Monarch yang berkunjung setiap awal musim Panas di kebun dari telur hingga menjadi kupu-kupu lagi, &#39;menetasnya&#39; kupu2 dari crysalis-nya merupakan moment yang kami tunggu-tunggu. Saat kepompong hijau sudah berubah menjadi hitam, kami selalu mencek apakah sudah menetas atau belum setiap hari, karena hitungannya itu hanya beberapa jam saja. Kadangkala momentnya tidak tepat, ketika dilihat kepompong sudah kosong dan kupu2 sudah bergantungan di bekas kulit kepompong masing-masing. Moment yang terekam berikut merupakan hasil kesabaran mencek setiap beberapa menit sekali, saat kepompong perlahan membesit dari bawah, kepala muncul perlahan, lalu antena bergerak2 disusul dengan lipatan sayap dan terakhir adalah abdomen yang menyentak keluar. Kupu2 akan bergantung seperti ini hingga sayap mereka lurus selama beberapa jam sampai sayap kuat dan kupu-kupu siap terbang. Menakjubkan. Subhanallah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2251973312/&quot; title=&quot;hatched by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2168/2251973312_dbcabfc6c1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;hatched&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mencemplungkan buah-buahan ke dalam air memang salah satu eksperimen populer yang sering mencengangkan. Sampai saat ini aku masih belum puas dengan hasil cipratan air ini. Aku menyadari kalau aku kekurangan alat. Karena selama ini aku hanya memegang kamera dengan tangan kanan dan mencemplungkan buah2an dengan tangan kiri, sementara reflector diganjal dengan gelas atau toples gula. Mungkin mereka yang memiliki peralatan perang yang mantap lebih mampu menghasilkan jepretan yang award-winning. Foto dibawah merupakan percobaan pertamaku untuk fruit splash. Masih belajar menggunakan aperture yang tepat serta ISO yang memadai untuk mengimbangi fast shutter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2322270817/&quot; title=&quot;splash #1 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2311/2322270817_4422e7acf3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;361&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;splash #1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faktor ketidaksengajaan? Ada banget! Saat aku main ke rumah Mum, lebah2 sedang beterbangan di rerumpunan bunga Clematis. Aku tidak sedang ingin memotret lebah melainkan ingin mengabadikan bunga tersebut. Saat membidik bunga tersebut, seekor lebah mengantarkan kesediaannya dipotret begitu saja, secara spontan aku klik. Jadilah fotonya seperti ini, saat lebah sedang terbang. Lensa yang aku pakai hanya lensa standard 18-55mm saja saat itu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2354243966/&quot; title=&quot;i&#39;ve got enough by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2286/2354243966_7de5bb69bd.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;399&quot; alt=&quot;i&#39;ve got enough&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karena lebah sekarang sedang ramai bermain di halaman dan kebun, riang rasanya mengabadikan sang pollinator natural ini. Mereka berperan besar di dalam penyerbukan bunga plum, peach, peacherine, apricot, cherry, nectarine, prune, dan pear di kebun. Kalau tidak ada mereka dan tidak diserbuki maka sia-salah buah2an itu menjadi besar. Alhasil, kami pun tidak mendapatkan penghargaan apapun dari kebun. Memble dong. Meskipun sejak awal musim semi aku sudah mencoba menyerbukan sendiri memakai kuas kering, toh lebah menurutku bekerja lebih baik dan dapat menjangkau bagian cabang yang tertinggi yang tak mampu aku jangkau. Buzzing business, a tribute to bees :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2870528548/&quot; title=&quot;buzzing business 2008 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3179/2870528548_c02fa61db1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; alt=&quot;buzzing business 2008&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saat berlibur main ski di Mount Ruapehu, Whakapapa, Taranaki district tempo hari, selesai bermain ski dan beristirahat di puncak tertinggi, aku wara-wiri motretin mereka yang snowboarding melewati rintangan. Aku lihat ada seorang pemburu action shot yang sudah menegakkan tripodnya di sana. Kusapa dia, dan aku sendiri mengambil tempat sedikit lebih jauh dari dia. Tripodku cuma kedua tangan saja, kadang2 ditumpu dengan dengkul. Hanya berbekal lensa 50mm f/1.4, aku mencoba lagi action shots. Kesempatan yang bagus karena sepertinya anak-anak snowboarders itu sudah terbiasa dengan fotografer. Buktinya mereka pasang aksi. Dengan aperture habis di 1/4000, aku klik menggunakan continuous shooting. Ga terasa, 2Gb habis begitu saja, dan harus ganti CF, yang memang sudah aku siapkan sejak di awal keberangkatan. Niat banget memang. Sementara itu si fotografer yang aku sapa beranjak mendekati aku. Kita berkenalan. Namanya Kate dan dia menjual foto2nya ke sebuah agen. Kami hanya mengobrol sesekali saja, karena sama-sama tidak ingin menyia2kan kesempatan mengabadikan moment yang bagus. Dari ratusan kliks yang aku gunakan, hanya 4 yippie shots yang layak aku pajang. Itupun croppingnya diketatkan. Maklum, ga punya wide lens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2870698836/&quot; title=&quot;yippie by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3077/2870698836_aa39a1e070_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;164&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;yippie&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2870699808/&quot; title=&quot;yippie2 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3264/2870699808_dd658f872e_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;162&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;yippie2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2870700584/&quot; title=&quot;yippie3 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3150/2870700584_f21c4a2f45_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;161&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;yippie3&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have fun!</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/09/foto-experiment-action-shots.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3180/2870526204_c6b0d96bf2_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-463510849524722890</guid><pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-30T15:55:16.783+12:00</atom:updated><title>Foto Eksperimen Pantulan Kaca</title><description>  &lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Sebetulnya untuk foto eksperimen yang aku lakukan ga begitu susah sih, soalnya still life banget. Ga pake cemplung-cemplungan atau basah-basahan. Menjawab pertanyaan temen-temen kenapa backgroundnya bisa item, aku rasa karena memang ruangannya sedang gelap. Sementara cahaya yang datang itu redup, sehingga hanya memantul ke orange itu sendiri.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Untuk memberikan temen-temen ide untuk bereksperimen still life serupa, ini aku upload settingnya.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://foodngarden.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SLjAfAoKCD0AAF5@OIY1&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignmiddleb&quot; src=&quot;http://images.foodngarden.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SLjAfAoKCD0AAF5@OIY1/orange-exp-setting.jpg?et=zc4%2CvXNq6V9Ebq5dW0%2BM8g&amp;nmid=0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nah, sederhana aja kan? Cuma kaca dan reflector di sebelah kanan untuk menyeimbangkan pantulan cahaya dari sebelah kiri. Untuk menyerupai keadaan sedang gelap &lt;a href=&quot;http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/08/foto-experiment-mirror-reflection.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;foto yang sebelumnya&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, aku tutup sedikit gorden di sebelah kiri itu, sekedar &#39;ngintip&#39; gitu. Hasilnya begini nih:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://foodngarden.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SLjBBwoKCD0AAGpJhXs1&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignmiddleb&quot; src=&quot;http://images.foodngarden.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SLjBBwoKCD0AAGpJhXs1/orange1-dof-on-the-reflection.jpg?et=fKewi3qSV3%2CoN3ACUVBxWg&amp;nmid=0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Orangenya metik lagi, tapi tangkainya rada lebih bengkok dari yang sebelumnya. Gpp, yang penting kan udah dapet gambaran. Trus, kok bisa jadi gelap ya? Naaaaaaaah, kan karena cahayanya cuma &#39;ngintip&#39; doang dari sebelah kiri itu. Pokoknya bisa-bisa temen2 deh gimana caranya supaya cahayanya cuma mantul ke orange itu sendiri. Yang di atas itu fodnya dapet di pantulan cerminnya, bukan di original orange-nya.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ini data EXIFnya:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Camera: Canon EOS 400D&lt;br&gt;Lensa: EF S 50mm f/1.4 USM&lt;br&gt;Resolusi: 3888 x 2592&lt;br&gt;Flash: not used&lt;br&gt;Focal length: 50.0mm&lt;br&gt;Exposure: 1/100&lt;br&gt;Aperture: f/2.0&lt;br&gt;ISO: 200&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kalo yang ini:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://foodngarden.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SLjCtQoKCD0AAA@r5go1&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignmiddleb&quot; src=&quot;http://images.foodngarden.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SLjCtQoKCD0AAA@r5go1/orange2-dof-on-the-orange.jpg?et=sC0RbpDBUnprDLBGee1MGg&amp;nmid=0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;aku coba ambil dari atas dengan dof berada di orange itu sendiri. Kalo yang ini datanya selain yang lain2 sama dengan yang di atas hanya saja exposure time-nya f/125 sementara aperturenya nutup di f/2.5. Sebetulnya kalo pake lensa standard aja bisa, pake 18-55mm-ku itu bisa kok. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yang orange splash di bawah ini aku pake lensa standard dengan EXIF data sbb:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;insertedphoto&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://foodngarden.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SLjDvwoKCD0AAClADcw1&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;alignmiddleb&quot; src=&quot;http://images.foodngarden.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SLjDvwoKCD0AAClADcw1/orange-splash-by-arfi-binsted-08.jpg?et=ZQt4O26p2PHWaIBbiZBsuw&amp;nmid=0&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;Camera tetep sama cuma lensanya pake 18-55mm aja, ISO tetep 200, sementara focal length 28.omm dan aperture nutup di f/4.0 dengan exposure shutter priority (ada fasilitas TV untuk merekam benda2 yang bergerak cepat, seperti ini). Bakcgroundnya juga masih kaca.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Semoga bermanfaat!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;!-- multiply:no_crosspost --&gt;&lt;p class=&#39;multiply:no_crosspost&#39;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/08/foto-eksperimen-pantulan-kaca.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-3444595702570587185</guid><pubDate>Wed, 27 Aug 2008 05:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-08-28T14:18:33.645+12:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fruit</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">mirror</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">reflection</category><title>Foto Experiment-Mirror Reflection</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikvR9zE5-2gtP-aC7zYIoT6FDWgKLxkHyVTfCEeNzlwiWUhXgUaeApvhUyrI0GtgO6YPgb3TXCR8d93LP6wr28-ow_gdZdFSGxFQvtCkQzn5loMorLvD76eyWtNtIYWG4ja50UeVwFpcA/s1600-h/click-citrus.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikvR9zE5-2gtP-aC7zYIoT6FDWgKLxkHyVTfCEeNzlwiWUhXgUaeApvhUyrI0GtgO6YPgb3TXCR8d93LP6wr28-ow_gdZdFSGxFQvtCkQzn5loMorLvD76eyWtNtIYWG4ja50UeVwFpcA/s200/click-citrus.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239387249216321010&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I got a chance to be home alone, I started to prepare to shoot oranges using mirror to make reflections. I really did not have a clue how to do such work and I sort of doing trial and error. The trouble is that we only have one big mirror in the bathroom and I thought well, how am I going to do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspired by the other photo that I took before &lt;a style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 102, 0);&quot; href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2782940146/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;on oranges&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; as well, I was thinking how am I going to get a reflection of the oranges from the bowl without having me in the mirror? Really, the angles are difficult, tougher work than I thought before. I searched more mirror which I found in the cottage, an old one with crinkled frame. I had to take it out of its frame and clean the mirror. The bad news was that this mirror is an oval-shaped one, not a big square one. I was a bit frustrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the first reflection I created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2791328670/&quot; title=&quot;mirror1 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/2791328670_4f66ef797f.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;mirror1&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;341&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Out of 100 or more clicks, I chose the one above is quite alright (although not satisfying to my eyes yet). I moved on to a simpler trick. I&#39;d like to create a dimension where I can see the orange upside down or joining the stem. Using the big square mirror was impossible because I had to take off the frame which I did not bother to do. I tried to use the old mirror and it was difficult. I have tried different angles and compositions, but none of them is great. Here&#39;s one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2790479997/&quot; title=&quot;mirror2 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3053/2790479997_38c390aa7a.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;mirror2&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;294&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, the stem is sort of joining but I only could take 3/4 of the orange from the refelction. I only use my hands to create these photos. I hold the mirror on my left hand and camera on my right hand. A bit of a struggle, but hey...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the last one is a still life, I mean it is really still. I only drop some orange juice on top of the fresh orange to give an image of wet and juicy. It was almost dark and my family started to unloading themselves from the car, so I had to end my own journey, back to the reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2791330730/&quot; title=&quot;mirror3 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3077/2791330730_cff85436aa.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;mirror3&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/08/foto-experiment-mirror-reflection.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikvR9zE5-2gtP-aC7zYIoT6FDWgKLxkHyVTfCEeNzlwiWUhXgUaeApvhUyrI0GtgO6YPgb3TXCR8d93LP6wr28-ow_gdZdFSGxFQvtCkQzn5loMorLvD76eyWtNtIYWG4ja50UeVwFpcA/s72-c/click-citrus.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-7205021987586622925</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Jul 2008 05:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-28T17:18:01.250+12:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dim light</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">eksperimen</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">foto</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">lighting</category><title>Foto Experiment-Lighting</title><description>Emberrr... kajian yang satu ini pasti sudah sering wara-wiri ya. Selain pake natural light, aku sebetulnya kurang betul-betul menguasai permainan lampu ala studio. Masalahnya sampai sekarang masih terus berusaha memahami setiap sudut pemotretan, dari memasang tirai tipis atau menjauhkan lampu, memakai hanya lampu dilangit2, still I am not really happy with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tengok yang ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2556915659/&quot; title=&quot;exp1-1 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2556915659_8a9b7c6bc7.jpg&quot; width=&quot;325&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;exp1-1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memakai lampu halogen yang panasnya minta ampun. Aku pasang tirai putih di sini dan ternyata memang mampu memudarkan kekuatan cahaya dari lampu tersebut. Bandingkan dengan yang ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2666250151/&quot; title=&quot;lighting exp by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2666250151_1aaa36f522.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;lighting exp&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Masih pakai lampu yang sama tanpa tirai. Hasilnya jauh lebih keras bantingan sinarnya dan lebih merah. Di hadapan macarons itu sendiri aku pakai reflector tapi tidak terlalu mampu untuk mengurai sinari yang datang dari arah samping belakang itu. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Di langit-langit rumah itu ada lampu gantung yang bola lampunya empat buah tetapi sinarnya merah banget. Hasil eksperimenku dengan memakai lampu kekuatan 20W di langit-langit yang jaraknya sekitar 2 meter dari permukaan meja membuahkan hasil yang tidak memuaskan. Masalahnya, karena hue merah dan kuningnya terlalu kuat, sehingga meskipun sudah dibantu dengan pengurangan hue dan saturasi lewat GIMP tidak mencapai hasil yang maksimal, seperti yang terlihat di foto Danish Pastry ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2662133689/&quot; title=&quot;envelope2 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3203/2662133689_f809d49eb1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;envelope2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Percobaan lagi menggunakan direct sunlight ketika kami mendapat sinar matahari yang jarang banget di musim dingin malah menghasilkan hasil yang lumayan seperti yang dapat dilihat di tea set berikut:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2675604481/&quot; title=&quot;morning tea2 by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3126/2675604481_ac3949848e.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;morning tea2&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barangkali permainan warna dengan backdrop yang natural membuat fokus mata ke tea set ini menjadi lebih &#39;keluar&#39;. Untuk settingnya, aku hanya memakai meja kecil yang sudah uzur diletakkan di depan rumpun rosemary di depan rumah. Matahari pagi betul-betul masih di arah jarum jam 2 dan reflector aku pegang memakai tangan kiri dan kamera di tangan kanan. Fire away. Dapat sekitar 50 klik, disortir hanya menjadi 2 foto yang layak tampil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Akhir-akhir ini eksperimenku dengan dim light indoor adalah di depan perapian. Disesuaikan dengan musim saat ini, hot chocolate menjadi model pilihan. Hasil jepretan yang pertama ini aku hasilkan saat menikmati hujan reda. Membuat hot chocolate dengan merebus susu hingga mendidih, cemplungkan 2-3 kotak coklat dengan cocoa butter 72% buatan lokal, whisk sampai timbul busa. Tuang ke gelas atau cup. Aku ga tambahkan gula, tapi kalo suka lebih manis tambahin aja. I just like it chocolaty. Dengan imajinasi menunggu hujan reda di cafe, aku tambahkan aksen kertas koran dan syal serta potongan brownies. Dapat sekitar 65 klik, disortir hanya 1 foto saja, selebihnya dibuang. Hasilnya ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2692322664/&quot; title=&quot;hot chocolate by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3002/2692322664_82a364e318.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;hot chocolate&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saat memotret dengan churros di lain waktu, hari betul-betul gelap. Aku memakai ISO 200 dengan standard lens kit 18-55mm saja. Terekam dengan exposure berhenti di f/7.1, dapatnya seperti ini. Dibantu dengan sedikit penaikkan contrast dan sharpening tool, hasilnya seperti ini tidak dibantu dengan reflector:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2692323510/&quot; title=&quot;churros by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3131/2692323510_c8eaf0c73c.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;churros&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memotret secangkir hot chocolate dengan marshmallows, betul-betul di setting di depan perapian. Lampu yang ada hanya lampu langit-langit. Cahaya redup datang dari jendela di ruang tamu, dapur dan pintu yang mengarah ke belakang rumah. Jadi, cahaya berada di samping kiri arah jam 9, di samping kanan depan arah jam 2, dan samping kiri arah jarum jam 4. aku ambil posisi di arah jam 7 dengan bantuan reflector di tangan kiri, kamera di tangan kanan. Pencahayaan lewat reflector aku arahkan untuk mengurangi timpalan cahaya yang datang hampir dari segala arah. Jadinya seperti ini:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/homemades/2692324988/&quot; title=&quot;hot choc by Arfi Binsted of HomeMadeS, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3266/2692324988_76b4840bbc.jpg&quot; width=&quot;333&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; alt=&quot;hot choc&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jadi, menurut aku biarpun cahaya seredup apapun masih dapat diakali dengan berbagai benda dan ruangan di tempat anda. Biarpun perangkat perang tidak lengkap, masih bisa kok menghasilkan foto-foto yang bagus, asal kaidah-kaidah food photography dan fungsi-fungsi di kamera betul2 dikuasai, minimal lebih tahu one step ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mungkin ini dapat dijadikan arsip yang bermanfaat jika kebetulan teman-teman sedang ingin memotret tapi kemudian mendung dan hujan. Masih bisa kok!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep jepretttss yaaa!!</description><link>http://arfisphotos.blogspot.com/2008/07/foto-experiment-lighting.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2556915659_8a9b7c6bc7_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254334989243690348.post-1350175214149134610</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-25T14:40:00.332+12:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">custard</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">dirty dishes</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">meringue</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">pandan</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">SLW</category><title>SLW: Dirty Dishes</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/groups/stilllifewithflickr/&quot;&gt;Still Life With&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; on Flickr group this month&#39;s theme is dirty dishes.
