About The last one of series, hopefully explaining the functionality of this pen beyond reasonable doubts. I needed moderate PS work to blow out the background to white, preserving the shadows.

Actual shooting data:
Focal Length 35mm
Shutterspeed: 1/15 sec.
Aperture: f/25
EV comp: +1 2/3 EV

Photoshop: A bit more than the previous one, had to adjust the levesl to make the background as high key as it is. The shadows are natural, though....

My appologies for the extremely long radio silence from my side. To my friends: thanks for your support, nothing wrong with me, I'm just tied up with work at the moment. My return to Usefilm is only a brief one, but judging by the way things look now, I'll have a bit more time on my hands in August. Can't wait to get back and return to becoming active on Usefilm again.... In the mean time, please bear with me....:)

All comments are, as usual, very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Hugo

Happy to see you again dear Hugo!!! I know sometimes life is hard with us and takes far from the things we love, anyway you are here now and that?s enough. This is not my favourite kind of photo, but I must say it?s perfect in my opinion, a very good commercial image. Do not make us wait too much for the next photo ;) Bye, Max

hi, and welcome back even if for a moment...this is very impressive to me because it is exactly the way i want commercial product ads to be: simple,use illustrated well and to the point! The clarity of course is superb and the high key background suits this presentation...there is a nice reflective sheen on the pen...if i saw this pen for sale,i would buy it because of its simple ingenuity....like the diagonals,too...good work,Hugo..regards,gayle

Hi Hugo,

Hi stranger! So glad to see you back, we all have been wondering about you!

And you've come back with another fantastic image, looks a bit complicated to me. Very good!

You should be doing commercial photography, you're good at it!

Again, good to see you!!!
Lori :)


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 7/4/2005
Thanks Max! Good to hear from you again! Life sure has been busy, and will be. Hopefully I'll have some more time on my hands in August, and I'm longing back for some quality time on Ufi....:) Thanks for putting me on your friends list again.... Quite a surprise, as I understood your arguments for removing me perfectly well. But nonetheless, I'm very happy about it...

Hope to talk to you soon,

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

I am relived to see you again here.

I sent you an email wondering where on earth you had disappeared. But never got an answer.

Sent one to Al, he never replied either !

Sent one to Teunis, he never did too !!!

I thought everything was so wierd.

Well, Glad to see back again my friend.

regards,
ken.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 7/4/2005
Hi Ken,

Thanks for your comment. I did receive your email, my appologies for not replying... I'm fine, just been a bit too busy. Hope you are ok too...

I'll be in touch,

Cheers,

Hugo


Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-56794} 7/4/2005
I had to do it since a long time, but I forgot it :) I manage often my lists and sometimes I do some mistake, but don?t worry, I?ll not remove you anymore from my FL!!!! Ciao, Max

Hi Hugo
First of all good to hear your busy working and keeping the "wolf from the door" no pun intended.

Secondly, like the product shoot above but not sure I see much of a "unique selling point" of the thing but that's with my business consultants head on...apologies for that.

Thirdly, miss your constructive comments and hope to hear from you when you have the time.

Cheers for now

Manu

Hi Hugo,

well, nice to see a small sign of activity from you ;-)

good series and nice ending. the difference in the geometry add some tension to the image.

stay tuned for August, my friend.

Thilo

A very professional piece of work. Looking forward to more of your work when you have time. Don.


Ian McIntosh   {K:38401} 7/5/2005
radical use of real shade. :)


Verena Rentrop   {K:14417} 7/5/2005
Ciao Hugo,

as a young adult I was always keen on nice or different pens, pencils etc. here is a good example of a two ways of usage. Have you been involved in the design?

About the shot, I would liked to see it with a magazine with less colours...IMHO it makes it too colourful and distracting from the main object.

I will stay tune and you keep care on you and your family.

Take care
a hug
Verena


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:177029} 7/5/2005
and here, your last recent shot and work!
the series is continued, well done,.. I have looked the website, nice, and great!
but the TOTAL in italy is the fuel distributors, and that one under seems the notebook for the points!
great light
ciao
roby


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 7/5/2005
Hi Lori!! Good to hear from you again! Thanks for the comment; it's one of the things I've been doing that kept me away from Ufi.... Its fun too! Hope you are OK, and You'll hear from me soon...:)

Cheers,

Hugo


Ciprian Ilie   {K:13215} 7/5/2005
Wow, so neat and clean, excellent macro/still life shot. Very good colour balance, the white background was well worth the PS work.

Regards,
Ciprian


Galal El Missary   {K:84090} 7/5/2005
Simple but very nice Hugo , very well done .

Galal


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 7/5/2005
Dear Verena, No, haven't been involved in the design. I was merely asked to take the product photos. As to the flyer, it wasn't my choice either, but it was kind of a rush job, and we had nothing else available. Besides, both the pen and the folder are part of Total's promotion of their new fuel...

Good to talk to you again!

Cheers,

hugo


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 7/5/2005
Hi Roby, thanks for your comment. You're right: the pen is used for promotion of Total's new fuel, and the booklet the pen is clipped to is a route map you can get at the Total gas stations.

Cheers,

Hugo


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:177029} 7/5/2005
I try now in the Italian TOTAL.. but I hope that your return is perfect.
I still have my curiosity for the Queen concert..
Take care

Chris Spracklen   {K:32552} 7/5/2005
An excellent end to the series, Hugo!
Great to hear from you again.
I'm doing well ~ just back from an 11 day holiday and now off on a month's sabbatical!!
I look forward to seeing more of your work in August!!
Best regards, Chris


Petros Stamatakos   {K:11452} 7/5/2005
Excellent work as always Hugo :-)


Randy Lorance   {K:24958} 7/5/2005
Hi Hugo, so nice to see you back(and the long awaited final shot of the series). You have nicely captured and composed this handy item,good 3D to it. I think anyone looking at this would appreciate having one. A nice great job of isolating it on white and with the delicate shadow. I saw the 1st image of series on the website in blue version,interesting to see it in use.
Thanks again for your honest critiques and tips,which together with your work,I find you one of the top sources of photographic help on the site.

Randy


Saeed Al Shamsi   {K:47515} 7/5/2005
First of all, nice to see you back but not active enough to heat up the atmosphere :) just kidding..I like the way start where you end last one, a product items, and the composition of highly pre-arranged work, that?s exactly of commercial demand. Lovely pro work, hope to see you around again take care. Saeed


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 7/5/2005
Dont worry my friend! =)

I like this shot Hugo.. its clear what the pen does and the quality is great. Clarity, colors, light and composition is very good! Take care my friend and dont work to much! One need to take it easy sometimes (almost broke down myself due to overworked)

Cheers

Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 7/5/2005
I don't see how you can improve on this technically. The utility of combining a pen with a paper clip (of sorts) is not immediately clear to me, but I am sure I am in the minority :-)


Paul's Photos   {K:34954} 7/5/2005
another great product shoot... the flash/lighting may be a bit harsh in spots but nice composition...


Maria Luisa Vial   {K:36017} 7/6/2005
Great comercial shot Hugo... Excellent compostion... I liked this the most of the series... Excellent colors... Now I see how the pen works... :)

Nice to have you back...

Cheers,

Maria
