Actually, I want to take some great photos with my son's toy. This one is actually a beat-up car toy that is usually used; sometimes he could be so rough on this toy, as you can see some of the damage this car has received.
And maybe because the quality (very rarely I have a great toy), somehow this car is still intact, at least it can still be used. heheh
Ok back to the photo session, while I was assembling my macro gear, I notice that my diffuser is nowhere to be found. I was already a forgetful person lately, and it took me quite a while to try to find it, but still no result.
So instead of going for smooth lighting, with the diffuser, I want to improvise with the harsh light from the direct flash, without a diffuser. And here are the results from the photo session.


The result is rather harsh, as the harsh light and the contrast between those who are under the light and those who fall into the shadow is so great.


A lesson learned that next time I should have put my diffuser in place so that it will be a lot easier for me to get it when I want to use it.
but for now enjoy these harsh result from my recent photo session.
