Pilbara Sunset

April 29th, 2010 at 8:09pm

Karijini National Park

This was an image from a sunset shoot we all did not far from the eco retreat. The colour went nuts and Brent pulled out his strobe to add a bit of fill to the tree. Thanks to him and Tony for this shot. What struck me was how good the Phase captured the colours in the sky. It is pretty cheezy I know, but the sunset was just too spectacular not to shoot. Would it hang on a wall, I guess it might. On my wall, don’t know. Still a 40″ x 60″ flex on aluminium would look insane. The tree was sharp as bro!

Phase One, P65+, 45mm Phase lens, 645 DF Body.

Fire swept Karijini

April 29th, 2010 at 7:12pm

Karijini National Park

Karijini had some massive fires recently and lots of the park was laid bare. That offered up some amazing landscape opportunities and we were all frothing over the red rocks and exposed hillsides. This is just near the carpark to Weano and Hancock gorges. Every day we had awesome skies, in fact the conditions are some of the best I have ever seen at Karijini.

Shot on the Phase One, P65+ back, 80mm Schneider Lens and the 645DF Phase body. Focus stacked, this image is sweeeeeet!

Back from Karijini

April 28th, 2010 at 6:55pm

Oxers Lookout, Karijini

I got back from Karijini today after a marathon 17 hour drive back to Perth. The workshop was huge and great fun. We went hard and learnt lots. Plenty of fun was had by all and Tony, Peter and myself were blown away by the quality of the images captured over the 4 days.

To everyone who came along, thank you for being great pupils. It was hot and challenging at times but such is the life of a landscape photographer. I will add more photos as I get some worked and elaborate on the workshop more in the coming week. Make sure you check out the other photographers blogs to see their amazing photos. Thanks again fellas.

p.s. Keith can I get a pic of Mark Stothard being operated on by Pete the doctor for the blog, everyone likes to see blood.

You think we are having fun?

April 26th, 2010 at 9:28pm

Check out what Uge from Aquabumps has been up to. Poor bugger. Geez imagine all the hormonal mood swings with that lot! It is almost scary! Sorry Hazel, just having fun! Sexist pig I am!! haha. Give me a good landscape any day…………..well any day except this one. He shot this on film too, all the more scary! And why, do you ask?, get 1200 girls in Bikinis on a beach? For no good reason other than it looks a damn sight better than 1200 pot bellied blokes. Yuk!

Nodal Ninja for sale

April 18th, 2010 at 7:30pm

For Sale: Nodal Ninja 5 Lite

Purchased late last year and used only once, costing just a tick over $500. I would like to chase $400 for it but I am open to offers as this just won’t get the use I had hoped for unfortunately.

The only mark on it is a neat line I have scored underneath the main arm in order to line up the appropriate settings for a 5DmkII + 17-40L. Other than that it is in pristine condition and even comes with a quick release system that is apparently compatible with some Manfrotto and Gitzo plates (worth around $40 or so).

Drop me an email at craig@craighilton.com with any interest or offers.

Sugarloaf Rock, Not another one!

Sugarloaf Rock

Ok, Ok I know this place has been shot to death but it is in my backyard in fact only a 10 minute drive from my front door. I had the choice of going for a bike ride in 80kmph winds or go take some pics. Sorry to my riding buddies, work got in the way! Some times you just have to leave the lycra at the door.

Shot with the Phase One of course. Unfortunately as this was a 30 second exposure the image isn’t as sharp as I would have liked also I didn’t stack the focus on this one. I will print it today and take to the Phase one night being held at Team Digital. If you want to see it in the flesh come and say hello.

P65+, 45mm Phase lens, 645df and my trusty Gitzo tripod that I am falling in love with!

It’s Here, Photoshop CS5

April 13th, 2010 at 7:14pm

Photoshop CS5

Well hopefully this version will be better than the last. My experience was a little average with CS4 and it had some weird little glitches that would pop up and annoy me from time to time.

Les says that Photoshop was dumbed down in cs4 for the consumer market that didn’t really have a serious interest in colour and getting it right. Hopefully it has been fixed as a lot of people that know their sh1t were pissed off with that decision. Luckily I don’t know my sh1t so it didn’t affect me too much!! haha.

Benny at Team Digital said CS5 for him is Puppet Warp. He talked about how it can make a limp flower stand tall again, imagine what it will do for the porn industry!

Has anyone tried it yet, CS5 I mean, not the porn industry!! Keep it clean…………….. actually!!! Nah forget it!

The first person to get CS5 on their computer has to write a review for this blog, don’t worry it can sound dumb, I will be able to understand it then. The prize will be a personally signed Muzz Factor Joke book, with all your favourite muzzisms.

Turning Japanese With Denis Glennon

April 12th, 2010 at 9:14am

Dear Christian,
I am arranging an exclusive photo tour to Hokkaido, Japan, with my US-based colleague and professional wildlife photographer Robert O’Toole, in Feb/Mar 2011.
There will be a maximum of twelve photographers, likely to be six from Australia and six from USA; should be a great learning experience not to mention the joy of travelling with a group of talented photographers.
The focus will be on the captivating snow monkeys, Steller’s eagles, landscapes, culture and more.
To see further details of Robert’s work click on: http://www.robertotoole.com/
If you would be kind enough to let your colleagues know about the tour, through your website, this would be much appreciated and if anyone is interested I will keep them updated on dates, costs etc.
The tour will last 10 -12 days.
Thank You,
Regards,
Denis.

This is a great opportunity to photograph Japan and from what I have been told it is an amazing place to travel. Hope you can get along to it.

Tasmanian Workshop

April 7th, 2010 at 12:05pm

Well it seems as though Tasmania is a pretty popular destination. We have filled half of the places in the first day. If you are thinking of a brilliant holiday, to a island renowned for its photographic beauty, now is the time to book.

I am going with my family and will be taking extra time to photograph the rest of the island. I have been to Tasmania twice but never as a landscape photographer. I can’t wait to capture some of those epic places

100% RAW Mega pickles!!

April 6th, 2010 at 8:01pm

Mark Stothard & Les Walkling

Well Tony you asked for it so here is a great example of a untouched image from the Phase One. What better way to show the ability of this camera than with my two mentors. Mark for his go for it motivation skills and Les for being the smartest photographer I have ever met. These two guys have changed my life and are good mates. Thanks fellas.

Now, so what you say, a couple of guys standing in the middle of the road. Did I mention it was raining. Have a look at the 100% crop. That says it all. And when I say it was raining it wasn’t even heavy enough to get you wet. Those drops were miniscule.

Rottnest Island

I know this came out looking a bit like a Peter Eastway, must be because we both use the P65! Shot this image 5 times then blended the different focusing planes into one mother of a sharp image thanks to Helicon Focus. Going to print this one up tomorrow and take to the Phase One night being held at Team Digital. If you want to see the detail come along on the night.

Shot with the lovely Schneider 80mm with the p65+ and the 645DF
