PM Member Zeckson wrote a good guide for first timers shooting glamour models in the Photographic Technique section HERE. I am reproducing Zeckson's write up here so that this good advice will not get lost over time. Thank You Zeckson. I hope you will write more articles on this genre of photography in this section.
If you are new to portrait photography and have the intention to seriously go into this genre, joining mass photo shoots to get some experience is a must and inevitable. In mass shoots, you will get to know how things are excuted and how you can put what you learned into practice.
INTRO
FIRST of all, this is not a professional review, but more like a user first impression review base on available (or limited) knowledge and experience in photography.
I'm surprise that Photo clam was not a very new product in market till ShaShinKi bringing this great product in Malaysia market. Photo Clam are made in Korea, small and strong ball head compare to original super steady ball head designer Acra Swiss. Which almost half of Acra Swiss price and perform as good as Acra Swiss.
Now, what makes me "love at first sign" was the price and the spec, the design and material being use was as good as the mere competitor Markins.

About a year ago I happened to luck into a cool domain name: holga.ws.
Sweet, yeah?
I followed that up by parking a SMF forum on it and forgetting about it. Obviously, it quickly devolved into a spam-filled cesspool.
So I deleted it. All of it. Lock, stock, and barrel. Given my recent increase in free time, I've decided to give it another go and have put something a little more rounded and social on the domain. Think: Facebook for toy camera... [Read More]

I was sitting in the throne room, as usual, with my Netbook on WiFi, when it occurred to me that this is the second year that I'm teaching photography at the Malaysian Open University. The good thing about teaching is that it structures your thoughts on the subjects that you teach. Your knowledge in Photography, and indeed in almost all skill pools, earned over several decades of learning from experience, leads you to do lots of things intuitively.
When you have to teach, somehow you've got to sit down, and gather your thoughts together in a structured kind of way. How else could you teach composition if you don't sit down in a quiet... [Read More]
Photo Clam is quite a new player in the ballhead market, started in year 2007, but quickly gained their good name and reputation in the internet due to their product quality.
(Photo Clam PC-36NS)
Know the Naming System

Photo Clam PC-33NS means that it has 33mm diameter ball, PC-36NS means it has 36mm diameter ball, PC-54NS means that it has 54mm diameter ball. I find this naming system to be very easy to remember and easy to differentiate the size and capability of each ballhead, since Photo Clam has quite a wide range. Some ballhead has same...

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I call Seattle Washington my home although I have lived overseas for most of my life. I first came to Malaysia in 1965 as my father was an economic advisor to the Prime minister of Malaysia, Tunku Abdul Rhaman . Thus most of my child hood was spent here in Malaysia more specifically in PJ. My most memorable moment was a one on one visit with Tunku in front of his house.
