I tried stuck with small items shooting using items in the 100 yen shop

That method is surprisingly easy. Even so, the effect is outstanding. You can face shooting with a feeling like a photographer. Why do not you post beautiful photos on blogs and SNS postings. It is also a technique useful for auction exhibition.

Hello,Takuya Sudo @ circle around the world bicycle @ Charridermanis. I have taken pictures all the time, but as I began writing articles on GIGAZINE, the number of cards is increasing at an accelerating rate. Among them, I made it a bit miserable.

Up until now I was shooting with the subject on the floor. But, the color of the floor interferes.


That's why I used white walls as a background.


However, there seemed to be a more fundamental solution. Looking at the Internet, it seems that you can make a photo booth with things at 100 yen shop. I tried to make something like that with a look.

◆ Shooting booth
What to prepare ......

Two 100-yen white color boards


100 yen imitation paper


Using imitation paper as the background and the color board on the side, combine like this. Let the simulated paper softly hang like a crease. It is easier to take pictures when working on a desk than on the floor.


We prepared a book stand of 100 yen to stand up color board.


Support the color board like this.


When I was short of light, I used a desk light.


In this way, when you take a picture with the completed shooting booth, it feels like this. The subject is a French dictionary I bought in Morocco.


Because it was awesome, I took many pictures with this shooting booth.

Lens FlareA single lens reflex camera hood purchased for countermeasures.


Mobile information terminal (PDA) called W-ZERO 3 which was active in the night of a tent without electricity as a sub PC.


Lipovitan D that I also see abroad, but I did not take a picture of the Japanese version so I took a piece.


I will re-shoot the photos that were not good, just here.

A digital camera forced to buy in Uzbekistan on the road in 2009.


Someday I want to write a trip and a camera article so I shot it again.


I took pictures of the data logger I got in 2010 on the desk of the hostel.


This is"Ruts that circled the world by bicycle can be displayed with online map service such as Google mapI am using it in an article called.


What do you think?

Some people put a top board on these shooting booths. Even lights just pulled out what was in the house so there seems to be improvements. There seems to be still more work, but still you can leave about this photo.

Even on a trip
However, this set can not be used unless it is at home. Anyway I would like to leave a picture with high quality when I travel. So, I tried the following method.

I will bring this sketchbook. This was also placed at the 100 yen shop. The size of 252 mm × 356 mm fits in a B 4 size vinyl case that contains a laptop. It was this sketchbook that was as large as possible and convenient to carry.


The method is very easy, just put the subject on the drawing paper.


I tried taking a sweet bun.


When you want to take pictures in three dimensions like this. I made a suitable thing as a stand, with the separated paper as a background.


I tried taking a cup noodle.


Using this sketchbook I also took a picture in Osaka who stayed for about 2 weeks for the next trip.

Kamamon no Oyuko Tofu.


A hand towel of sumo wrestling.


I also take pictures in China I came on from a flight from Osaka.

Can design fashionable fashion.


Tablet sweets called Fisherman 's Friend


Let's compare this with old photos.

Chinese banknotes taken on the blanket in 2008.


The Chinese banknotes I shot in this trip.


Red bull in China that I took on the sheets in 2008.


Red bull in China that I shot in this trip.


On the other hand, it is lacking in the presence of the journey. Perhaps depending on the purpose, there might be good use. .

Again the color of white makes the subject stand out. I regret not having noticed it sooner. I will write blogs in the future and I also want to have auction exhibition, so I will try it from now on.

Please try it if everyone is okay. Please tell me if there is a better way. Takaka shoots small articles, but small articles shooting, it is deep inside.
