BTW the header image is one of Mervs, put it on because he wanted to see something new. All praise or negative comments must go to him. See you all soon.
Off to the Kimberleys
I won’t be posting anything for a week or so, unless I get some internet service on the Gibb River Road. Hope to get some nice pics over the next three weeks. Will let you know of the progress. If I don’t reply you will know why. Enjoy the winter!! I will be. Cheers
mark III shot
This is a shot from this morning at the Rivermouth at Prevely. There was a huge swell but no one out surfing. This shot wasn’t as sharp as I wanted as I still didn’t know how to lock the mirror up. Found out eventually but it was too late for this one. It has been printed and will be at PRA if you want a look at it in the flesh!
Winemaker shots
These are some shots I took today, well all except one! They were shot with the 1ds mark III
and came out pretty good. I think and this may be just different circumstances the mark II has less noise at 800 iso. The stuff of qynn at the pub on the mark II was cleaner than the mark III. Maybe just the particular light?? It is still an awesome camera and that viewfinder is brilliant. All hand held, just love pissing the tripod off!!
PMA Conference Video
This is a video of the PMA conference that Michael took when we were there. Will give you some insight to what it is all about and hopefully inspire you to go next year. It is a must for those into photography, one big lolly shop. Keep an eye out early for Tom Putt, he would want you all to see him, and he could do with all the publicity he can get! Also a sneak look at a few other notable photographers that we all aspire to. Don’t forget to watch it in High Def, it is that much better. Double click the video above and it will take you to youtube so you can view it in HD
Bird Flu
Ok, see, I can do cheery subjects. This is specifically for Merv. Even the girls at the gallery were complaining about the blog getting a little dark. They are all looking for new jobs and I’ll continue to do what I want. Some new photos coming soon! Yeah right!! Have a 1ds mark 3 for the week, early tests show it to be better than the mark 2, I guess it has to be, just wish I could buy one!!
Surfing Vid
watch?v=SzwOo5zSZqg This is a vid Michael put together for a mate who isn’t a half bad surfer. If your interested in getting some footage of yourself carving it up let us know. BTW if you have an account with youtube you get the option of watching these vids in higher def. Worth it is you have a reasonable internet connection.
Skull-king around wasting time
Ok, now your all probably getting really worried about my new direction! I love this gothic stuff, but please don’t think I’m a satanic photographer from hell. I still like fluffy animals and pastel colours, they just aren’t as fun to draw. The eyes on this look a bit on the evil side, but at least the skull is smiling!!!
5th course late night epic
Thanks to all those who came to last nights course, it was heaps of fun and I think, and I say this every time, it was the best one yet, way better than the one Merv did!! So much free wine and food!!! Sorry Merv I forgot you guys got nothing!!
We ended up just before 1am so I’m feeling a little tired today, it is a shame the kids woke me at 5.30am. Oh well this is the life of a struggling photographer. Congratulations to Kate for winning the photo, it went to a good home. Ask her about the quality of the print from the Canon and don’t forget to say, “Man I wish I had one of those Canon printers”, she was thinking of buying mine!!!
I must say they were a hungry lot too and only one piece of cake was left. I think Brook had three piece though!!!, getting his moneys worth!
Ingrid I hope your feeling ok today, not too hung over ![]()
Special thanks to Andy for coming all the way from Brisbane only to find out I’m a fraud!! sorry I should have told you;-)
Cheers everyone
Peter Eastway Tutorial video
I just managed to get my hands on Peters dvd “How to master layers in Photoshop” courtesy of friends in high places! After viewing the tutorials I was all inspired to get the camera out, shoot like crazy and put some of Peters tips to work. Will post my results soon. If you want to advance your photoshopping to the next level I suggest you get it!……………………..Spoken by Christian Fletcher for the Eastway retirement fund. You can see the dvd here. no here stupid I can’t wait to beat him at the next APPA’s…
