30 of Project 365: Double Happiness

This "Double Happiness" decal was pasted on the door for my sis' wedding on 23 Nov 08. Removing it would definitely mar the paint or leave an ugly stain so why not let it be. It's a good reminder of a happy occasion.

My intention for 30 of Project 365 is to try out "Cloning" & "Painting with Light" but I didn't succeed because both required quite a fair bit of manual tuning and post-production editing. Finally gave up after more than an hour and decided to take other pictures but I seriously can't find anything to take in the house. Instead of doing spontaneous shoots of existing objects, I composed one myself and came up with this composition shot. Frankly this isn't as easy as it looked. Firstly I don't have a light-box so I have to improvish a bit, after which I played around with the different setting for exposure, colour, etc before I chose this picture.

I think my next project should be "DIY Light-Box" which I have researched on way back before I even started Project 365 but have yet to get round to it.

What's For Lunch?

Lunch is usually a simple affair - Take-away from Golden Shoe.

Oink, Oink!

I bought this cute little hand-powered torchlight in Harajuku for Yen 504. I also bought one for my brother-in-law. Beside a mascara, this is the only other thing I bought in Harajuku. I like such functional product with design factor. There's a switch to keep the light on and there's another switch to keep the pump locked in the body; simple and clever.
