Took the 550D out for a spin "shooting for the moon". Seems that theres a huge difference with the 550D and 350D sensor/processor...seemed to get a shitload more detail out of just using a 200mm lens. Wish I could get my hands on something that'll really get some details. That is very nice work mate. Love the photo. |

i want to do a model workshop, do you think it was worth it? Off course!! Esp learning about lighting techniques to acheive different results. But i suggest you do some outdoor shoots with off camera flash and learn a few things from that. Anyways i like that first shot from the studio shoot.. Keep it up and look forward to seeing more |

lawl at the middle model shot, her face is totally dominated, she now looks like one of those bad guys out of the Fifth Element. |

Did the teachers review your shots and guide on how to adjust to suit or did they just set up the gear and leave you to it? Pretty much left us to our devices. Those shots where all about contrasting...the fact she had puffy bags underneath her eyes didn't help any. All a learning curve tho. |

Alright, well i think the first one is very good. I like the contrast, apart from the floating left arm (on my right), a little fill would've helped that, low rim light for e.g. but still great shot bar that. The hard light suits for a good mood too, plus her skin looks nice and golden and you can't really tell about her face being a different colour. |

Thanks Nick - I don't mind CC, regardless how it comes. All photos were taken at my place, and I agree, theres not really a huge amount of imagination on the bedroom shots. I did take some shots from above looking down, so I'll have to see how they came out. These shots were all done as "TFP" so, no money was forked out, which is good for me. |

All in all, good learning experience, especially shooting with the new lighting gear and the 550D. Yeah TFP-FTW haha. But man, at your house - that would've been so awkward. I love awkwardness, it's awesome to watch you guys do your thing whilst people cut the air with chainsaws. If you do another let me know, I'd love to come along and try out this TFP thing. Plus I got some kit to bring. What sort of lighting gear did you get? |

I scored the Elinchrom 500/500 BXRi kit from DCW. Plus, I got the 170cm octabox (which is a huge pain) and a Manfrotto 420B boom tripod. |

Finally pulled my finger out on the weekend a little, and tore apart my old computer that contained photos from 1995 to 2009. These are all pre-DSLR, however still digital, with a fair portion taken with a Kodak P880. Here's a couple of shots from 2008, Cars for Kids in Mackay. |

I figured a nice picture printed and framed would be a nice gift for Dad for Fathers Day on Sunday. Everytime I've taken a trip out to get a sunrise, it's been either too overcast or drizzling or the alarm would go off, I'd turn it off and go back to sleep |

I figured a nice picture printed and framed would be a nice gift for Dad for Fathers Day on Sunday. Everytime I've taken a trip out to get a sunrise, it's been either too overcast or drizzling or the alarm would go off, I'd turn it off and go back to sleep Well, today I woke up at 3.45am, slapped myself a few times, got dressed, went to 24hr Maccas for some coffee (that stuff is pig swill...last time, I swear!) then did the 30min drive to Wellington Point. I got there with heaps of time to spare, had a chat with a guy that was fishing after work. Did quite a few shots all in manual mode to try and get some sort of feel for how the sunrise would effect what I see. I mucked around with my 70-200, but I didn't want just water and sky in my shot, so I switched to the 10-22. Did a few shots around the jetty, under the jetty and behind the jetty Well, here's the pick of the bunch that I thought had the most promise. Hoping to get some feedback before 11am...that's when I'm going to PhotoContinental...lol! It looks good - i would straighten the horizon though mate! Maybe try and get the orange of the sunrise and the clouds to pop a little more. it is nice though! |

Thanks I've straightened it up, must of been while you were posting. I'm trying to keep the orange in, make it feel like that "first light". Here's what I did for the shot+PP: |

Took a roadtrip up to Toowoomba for something to do on Saturday. Main reason was I wanted to go find some older buildings to take pics of, but they had the festival of flowers on as well. Parking was just non-existant so I spent most of my time driving around trying to find things of interest. I ran across the top 2 winners from the festival this year. |
