Will someone please bring some fresh flowers, nice table mats. I have a light tent. But some one needs to bring more lights. Nikon flash will do. we fire via CLS.




If anyone has any food restrictions, do let me know either on this thread, or via PM.

Bro, Flashes i can provide.. 2 X SB-R200s, ideal for food photography

thanks for all the support!

Any suggestions for flowers and table mat?
I have those Balinese-style one, but may not go with zi cha stall plates.
Flowers.... erm, not my speciality :embrass:

From Block 203 zi cha stall? Then it's the other one, at the other end of the block
There are 2 coffeeshops at the bottom of the block, at either end. 1 is basically right at the T-Junction.
The one we're going to is further in. I will indicate clearly in map in my PM to those going.

 

[Shoooters]

Ooops! wrong one..:sweat: the one i da bao is near the T junction facing just opp SPH. anyway.. this one is super crowded compared to the other end.

 

[wmayeo]

interested to come, though i like to eat, shoot and even nicer to get to know more CS folks! one bird kill 3 stones.

PS.: this zi cha stall popular one, very crowded i suppose.

Yeah. The zi cha stall at the corner is quite famous.
The food is good. Only downside is the extraordinarily long wait sometimes.
I've overheard them tell customers to wait 1 hr for their food! The "price" of fame, eh?

Add myself in, never tried it but i have 3 flashes with elichrome radio trigger. Not sure if Macro lens is needed cos i don't have it else i think the 50mm might work.

sorry man... the list stops at 12, as you can see from my initial post.

I don't think macro lens is necessary, depending on how you intend to photograph the food. If you wanna go really close-up for 1:1 ratio, then yeah macro lens is necessary.
Otherwise it's fine...
I'm no expert in food photography myself, but have tried with 35/1.8 (focuses quite close) and SB600 as remote slave, with some bounce cards, reflector, etc. Works quite well.

 

[coolthought]

I don't have any flash. However, I will bring a sturdy tripod, remote trigger, a big flash light with a self made soft box and some self amde reflectors. Is this good enough? Or should I have to find some way to borrow at least a flash.

Ok, no problem , no wonder there is a last guess i miss that. Please include me in if there is a space free up or setting up another table. If require some additional gear, let me know as well. Cheers.
