First studio shots / Studio Photography



some quick shots taken with Ashveen..

Well this is my first time shots taken in studio, so I am totally new to this environment.. We had as assignment to take portraits of each other with our own lighting setup, it was mainly a testshot. I thought it was easier than expected but it wasn't the case! We had a great experience for a first shot, and learned a lot from the lighting setups.. Thank you Mr. Jameel Perally.

View on Port-Louis / Panorama Photography



from the Signal Mountain, Mauritius.

Some friends and I planned to go to the Signal mountain on a public holiday for some photo shots.. It was quite a painful ascension :( the girls couldn't go much further, they walked only for about 250 meters & abandoned the path track.. We continued our path and it was really worth! Beautiful views on Port-Louis & its region were captured, the fresh & light morning breeze was very relaxing. I didn't breathe fresh air since ages because nowadays life is busy & stressful. 3 images taken handheld were stitched to create the wide panorama, using the photo stitching software PTGui.

Weather conditions: Morning, sunny & partly cloudy.
Difficulties: Had to walk a long distance to reach the mountain tip, and it was really hot.
Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC
