hey hey hey... i'm back... kekeke... Well, it's been raining and raining AND..... Raining... saying goes that when your beloved ones leave... and if it rains, it means, that person is your sunshine... (actually i made it up... Kekeke... Gotcha!!!) And so, good times flies... truly... It was like Year 2008 was just next door... and we just stepped into 2009... BUT as a matter of fact... a month has passed since New Year... Chinese New year too has come and gone...

AND then, i had to stay home and no one else to shoot but to shoot on some still objects...

Here u go...


FU= Prosperity, Lu= Generational Bliss, Shou= longevity... The three deity is often placed at home by the chinese... Legend goes that by possessing the three, one is the most happy person on earth... But how true is that? To me... The truth shall set us free... The way, the truth and life shall prevail...
Fu Lu SHou

The Buddhist believe that Matreiya is the coming buddha... he will be the one whom will replace Amitabha Buddha to preach in the next world... but as Matreiya origins from India... Matreiya evolved to be a Fat one when it reached China as the chinese believes fat symbolizes prosperity... and fat at one point in the history of China regarded as beauty...

lol...no it doesnt lag...unless u're using a super slow connection lah...

nice shots...but a tip for lighting...add a soft light behind the objects, opposite the main light source...

garrylin said...

Shir: thanx for dropping by... yea.. will try to update as often as possible to keep all my readers entertained...

Bea: Hey! thanks for your comment... will try to improve on the lighting... i don't reli understand wat u meant by adding soft light behind the object... how do i do that? Would u mind to elaborate? thanks!

Bea said...

hmm....not very harsh lighting? hahaha...u just need another light at the back of the object to help separate it from the background...if u observe ur pictures, u'll notice how the shadowed part blends in with the dark background...

to get more of what i mean...
