Bought a new tripod : Vivicam. Figured out auto bracketing on the Nikon D90. Experimented on the roof and the stairwell to increase comfort level with the new tripod. There’s an industrial photography shoot I’m doing on the weekend, hence the seeming flurry of camera activity. Tried some HDR, clicking on the photographs will take you to their Flickr pages and larger versions are available there.

A tiger and a bull.
Also, a glowing glass pig and tortoise.
You can also see a yellow-hand soap from Plastic Foliage.
All in one corner of my work-table – which itself is too small.
I sometimes also have a tea pot : Cochin Ceramic from Taiwan.

I’m thrilled [ and bummed - more later ] with the handsoap I’d ordered from Plastic Foliage! I’d been lusting after these soaps for quite some time and each time I wanted to order, the soap was out of stock. With a re-stock, I was finally able to order them and ordered two sets. They’re so cute and creepy at the same time! Great as a show-piece and wonderfully soft soap as well.
No fragrance however. Natural vegetable glycerin, which is great.
Some photographs of the box, opened, closed, with the two packages.
Great touch with the bill punched in with a ‘reindeer’ shape with a handwritten “thanks”. Cute.
Unfortunately, about half the number of soaps were badly damaged – broken fingers – gruesome sight! I’ve written to Marie Gardeski, lets see if something can be done.
I’d be wary re-ordering such an item from overseas in the future. Maybe each soap could be packaged separately so that they don’t rub into each other? I wouldn’t mind paying something extra for the cost of good packaging as long as the product delivered is intact. I wanted to show them off after-all and not so much as use them. Now, with the damage, I’ll be using half the hands as boring soap. The other half I’ll have to clean – to remove broken fingers and smudges of other colored soaps.
