The Magical Pixel

I’m imagining a new conceptual photographic work. Based on the title “Dreams” I want to create a sets of photo with heavy photoshop editing in it. My Photoshop is very rusty now, I have to attend classes to sharpen it back. But that will not make me stop. I’m going to have a photoshoot to create this dream land photo. So.. I need a model. I dont care how pretty or ugly or fat or skinny or pale skin or dark skin as long as you are willing to enjoy the photography session to the extreme.. then you can model for me.

If you are not too handsome, maybe I can make you my monster or Igor in the scene. That is a very important part, believe me. Nowadays, you can see from the TV commercial, no more pretty faces accept for the shampoo ad. Other than that you can be too skinny or too fat or too ugly it doesnt matters.. world has change.

Below is a few sample kind of photo that I want to produce..

So.. interested? If you do, please email to me at rejim3@gmail.com and dont forget to attach your picture with it.

Payment? no.. no money are involve with this.. everyone involved will get the picture. The model, stylist, make-up artist, photographer all will receive a copy of DVD of the photoshoot. You can do what ever you want with it.. most of the put the photo in their portfolio or send it to talent agency for casting. You might want to do the same

So.. email me ok.

I have a huge problem.. one more week before I embark on a journey to central Java, indonesia.. My Nikon D200 start giving me trouble.  It’s started on last week. I found that a few picture that I shoot is over-exposed (too bright). Then there’s an error coming out on the aperture area on the LCD, telling me that something is wrong with the aperture control.

Ok, I still can shoot, but I have to switch it off and on again then it will recover. But then after I snap a pic, the problem returns. I try changing the lens, problem still there. I dont know what to do. I try calling 9 people and do you know what they told me? “you need to change the body.. it’s time for D700″.

D700 is RM9,000 including a 50mm f/1.4 and a battery grip. Of course it’s good to upgrade my system but I dont think it’s neccessary. I still can shoot with my D200.. or my D70. But going for FX is a huge step for my pocket. The main problem for me now is the trip to Dieng.. Where can I get a body to replace my D200 in 1 week? arghhh!

So, last night I decided to give seriuos damage to my D200 before I sent it to Nikon. I dont have any tools..  I again, try to rub the body lens cpu contact point but this time I use my “kain Pelikat” and I give a fast 24 stroke/sec rub on the contact point.. voila! no more error… kambing betul..

so I hope his healthiness will stay… at least for another month.. before I spend too much on something that I might not need now.

First time touching borrowed D700..
