DAY365 :: IT’SOVER
Hopefully this will be the last-time you see my mug for a long time. This is the last shot of my 3SIXTY5 project. 365 days, a shot a day for YEAR. I’m pleased to say that I made it out alive. I’ll be doing a post (as soon as i’ve detoxed) about this experience and [...]
DAY363 :: SOMEOLDBUDDIES
Because my 3SIXTY5 project is almost done, I’ve been thinking of other projects I’ve been dying to do… just then, some old buddies came to visit and asked me why I’ve not spent any time with them recently… I think I’ll have to rectify that… A.
DAY362 :: ANEWFRIEND
Here is my new best friend… someone I’ve know for years but only recently met in person and what a meeting it was. Love at first sight come to mind. I can now truly say that i’ve been totally converted to Prime Lenses and I’ve never been happier. This is the Canon 35mm f2. It’s [...]
DAY361 :: BODYOFKNOWLEDGE
So the project is 4 days from completed and I’m so excited. Coupled with the completion of the 3SIXTY5, I’ll also be a guest speaker at a Beginners Photography Workshop on Friday. My topics for discussion are The Strobist Approach, and Workflow… two concepts I’ve come to know well over the last year or two. [...]
DAY360 :: HONL
My hat’s off to David Honl for making such a great and simple product… I will have to do a little review of this thing in future… if you had any doubts, just go get it… A.
DAY359 :: GAMER
Just think, this time next week, my project will be finished… Not sure if i should celebrate or cry a little… This shot was inspired by the cover of “GAMER” the movie. I used 3 lights to light it and i’m really happy with my new HONL stuff that i picked up. Inexpensive and really [...]
DAY358 :: LOW
Just a very quick 4 light setup using only the Phottix Odin. Too easy. I set everything to ttl and just adjusted the FEC as needed per group. I’m really liking the new set. Will keep you posted. Have a wicked weekend! A.
DAY357 :: SAMPLE
I got a set of new samples today for my WEDDING couples from a new premium supplier. Now, granted, these are small, but they do the job well and i’m totally in-love with the quality. I have not seen anyone else come this close to being perfect. In many ways they have far exceeded my [...]
DAY356 :: GOTHAM
I love CITYSCAPES. Sometimes the city grabs me, slaps me right in the face and shows me a side i’ve not seen before. You can walk past the same spot a million times… and on a particular day, you attention draws you to something new, something you’ve not seen… and that’s when the magic happens. [...]
DAY355 :: WINDINGDOWN
My project is now officially in it’s last 10 days and I feel like it’s winding down. The next few days are gonna be challenging for me as i need to really end the project strong and on a very high note. I’ve learnt so much and i hope everyone that’s followed this project has [...]
DAY354 :: ROUND2
Ok so against better judgement, i tried my pocketwizards again today. After about 4 hours of testing and tweaking I found the issue I had was related to the 2nd Curtain Sync, turned that off and now I get good results. So I setup a new 3 light setup I’ve been dying to try. I [...]
DAY353 :: THEBOYS
I don’t buy lenses often. Normally I only buy out of necessity. The two I just bought were out of a deep desire to change my style and approach to weddings and they absolutely rock! So here it is… my wedding kit, minus a 24-70 and a 70-200 which I already have. The first lens [...]
DAY352 :: CAPTURE
I love it when someone in the Photo community does something new to make life a little easier for us togs. That was the case when I stumbled onto Kickstarter for the first time in May this year. I was greeted with a very professionally done and executed marketing pitch for a new camera carrying [...]
DAY351 :: MINIWORLD
I had fun with this one… you can tell, right? 14 days to go… and i’m getting really excited to finish my project… and i just realised that i still haven’t uploaded the first 200 days or so… that will have to wait a while until I get the main project finished. I’ve also got [...]
DAY350 :: ALUCKYMAN
This is my little family. And the way I get shown some love on Father’s day is to be “granted” a proper photo-op… (;-) I really took advantage of it! It’s not often I can get enough time to get a few shots of my own family done and it’s so important as my daughter [...]
DAY350 :: GETITRIGHT
There’s allot to be said for Photoshop, and I firmly believe in it’s use and the effects you can achieve with it. The only thing I don’t like about photoshop, is it can make you lazy as a photographer.
DAY349 :: ADAYINTHECLOUDS
Workshops… what can i say? I had a great time at the AIPP Wedding Workshop today. So many excellent Photographers in one spot for 8 hours, I felt pretty elite. A huge thank you to the organisers and to the Majestic Rooftop Hotel in Frome Street, Adelaide for making the day feel comfortable and for treating [...]
DAY348 :: WHOSTEPPEDONMYSKY
So who stepped on my sky? I saw this very unique formation today and thought I’d share it with you. My project is approaching it’s expiry date and I’m both excited and sad to see it finished. It has been such an up-and-down journey that’s taken a bit longer than i’d originally planned but there [...]
DAY347 :: HARD LIGHT
I had some fun today with hard light. I’ve been wanting to try this shot for a while now and finally got a spare moment to give it a go. The location here is in New Port and i’ve used it many times before but not like this. I wanted to achieve a balance between [...]
DAY346 :: LIFEISSWEET
Took my family out for a treat today. We had a great time before the weather set in. Enjoy the weekend!!! A.
DAY345 :: NEWCARDS
There’s nothing like new business cards. The physical expression of you personality and business on paper. What does my card say about me? I have no idea, check the website… EXACTLY! My card is designed to drive you to my website. It’s simple, minimal, and light, i tried to keep it approachable while still having [...]
DAY344 :: THEAIPP
What does it mean to be a “Professional”. Is it the gear you have, the clients you have, the work you’ve done, or is it simply the way you do things? A hard question to answer. One thing is clear though: there is a big difference between a Pro and an Amateur. A Pro will [...]
DAY342 :: LIGHTWIRE_pt3.
I woke up a little early this morning to finish my LIGHTWIRE series for you. This is the third shot in the series and i really like it. I decided to use my car lights to give some drama to the alleyway and give it a night-feel. This weekend was really relaxed and i just [...]
