General Entry – 11.03.2011

Haven’t been able to blog all that much, being very busy with school work, namely an English essay, and a lot of maths being dumped on me by my most favourite maths teacher. =D
I have a few posts in the line, but when they’ll be published is well… When I’m able to get around to them…

Yay! My local Japanese book store had Mizuki Nana’s biography “Shin Ai” in stock. 20% off too, so it only cost me $28. It’s a shame that I’m Japanese illiterate. Otherwise, I’d probably be up all night reading it… But I am watching coverage of the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan ealier today… That’s some scary stuff.

At this moment, 5 hours after the quake, the toll is only 39. That number can only rise.
Hope everything works out for all those effected directly and indirectly.

Or… “Milestone”… Outside of the US…

But “DROID” is so much cooler…

Photoshoot (Lightbox) – Furude Rika and Hanyuu by Wave

It’s been 6 months since I got these two figurines, and I never got round to doing a full photoshoot with them… I have used them for experimenting in my dodgy made lightbox, and the results haven’t been as great as I have been expecting. Even now, I’m finding that doing a good, plain photoshoot still hasn’t produced the kind of quality I’ve been looking for, but nevertheless, after taking hundreds of shots, here are some of the results.

I do hope to do an outdoors photoshoot and get better results sometime in the future… But time is hard to find these days.

Rika-chama~! ^.^

Daily Life – 18.06 – 25.06.2010

It has been a rather slow week, generally uneventful in terms of the outside world. School, work… There’s been a lot going on in regards to politics here… But in terms of things that effect me directly, four maths tests spread over today, and the next few days. Should be fun.

I also received a to boxes from places I usually buy from. So more money down the drain…

I’m also trying to deal with a slightly shady Nigerian Buyer on eBay… O_o

Nanoha and Fate Figma Mini-Photoshoot

So, after finally opening my Fate figma about a week ago, I’ve finally gotten around to doing a photoshoot for both my Fate and Nanoha figma’s by MAX Factory. I can’t say the results for this photoshoot were as awesome as the photos I had for Bevan’s ALTER Nanoha near a month ago. Some of the images, as you will see, are rather noisy, and for some reason, my three lamps didn’t want to play very nice with lighting all the time…

All these shots are indoor, and with my makeshift “lightbox”. I’d like to see if I can get them outside sometime in the future, and see if I can get any “epic” shots of the two.

Photoshoot – Takamachi Nanoha -stand by ready- by ALTER

So, about a week ago, I went to my good friend Bevan’s house specifically to see his just arrived Nanoha Takamachi figurine by Alter. (Cos he won this time… =P) And so, came a dedicated 1.5 hour photoshoot, and here are a select two dozen or so photos. Click on the images to view in a higher resolution (a.k.a. Even more awesome of Nanoha)
