Still on the road ...
I’m not sure if anyone would have noticed my lack of recent updates, but I’ve been travelling (and away from the computer) Since late November.
Fortunately I should have a heap of new stuff once I get back in a few weeks.
Off site back up
I’m looking in to online / remote back up for my photos … so far of the ones I’ve looked at Acronis and Carbonite look decent.
Does, any one have any alternate recommendations?
PS. I’d prefer that the company charges Australian dollars if possible.
I'm in the Herald with Captain Ratz!
Or more specifically, one of my shots of Captain Ratz is in the paper.
The shot is question is from the first roller derby bout held at the Hordan Pavilion a few months ago. It was used to promote the roller derby horror show in the Metro section of the SMH (Sydney Morning Herald). Unfortunately I didn’t find out about this until afterwards,but luckily for me Angie Schiavone managed to organise a…
Roller Derby Bout One 2010
I was lucky enough to get a media pass to the first Roller Derby bout for the year.
The bout itself was held at Syndey Boys High between last years winners The D’VIANTS and the runners up S.A.S (Screamin’ Assault Sirens).
The conditions really pushed the limits of my gear, particularly the low fluorescent lighting of the gym. As a result most of my shots were at ISO 6400 using my 70 – 300 VR wide…
Now the shows over ...
I’ve uploaded all of my shots from the exhibit here to RedBubble
I tried to make these a little different from my normal shots, hopefully I’ve succeeded at that.
Most of the effects were achieved in camera using LED’s, an off camera flash and a few torches in camera, not in Photoshop.
Exposure varied from about 1:40 – 2 minutes and all were shot using my Nikon D300 and…
An iterative process ...
As I write this the FSC Contrast exhibit only has a few days left (closes Sunday April 11)
I thought I’d add a few details on one of the shot’s I’m exhibiting as a few people have asked how it was done.
In essence it is a light painting shot, the exposure was just a little under 2 mintues and was shot with my Nikon D300 and 18-70 lens.
The tree was illuminated from behind using…
Prints!
I picked up my prints for the Cutting Room Floor section of the FSC Contrast, a working title exhibit today.
I’m rather pleased with how they turned out.
These are basically some of the shots I rejected from the show, as well as a few experiments / prototype shots for the 4 works I’m displaying. You’ll have to come along to the show to see these.
Opening night is on the first o…
FSC Photography Exhibition, Sydney.
I’ve neglected RedBubble for the last few weeks, because I’ve been spending the majority of my spare time attempting to get some new shots for the Contrast: A Working Title exhibition.
I’ll likely upload the final shots here once the exhibition is over, but until then if you’d like to see some new shots from myself and a few friends, come along to the show.

A few camera related iPhone apps.
Over the last few months I’ve been playing with a few photo related iphone apps, BestCamera , Photoshop Mobile and CameraBag
First up BestCamera
Developed by Chase Jarvise the app promotes the idea that the best camera is the one you have with you. In this case you camera phone. It allows you to apply a number of filters (stackable) then upload the results to a few websites (thebestcamera.…
The shine hasn't warn off yet ...
A couple of months ago I picked up a Nikon / Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm f1.8G and it has hardly left the camera since. The shine hasn’t warn off this new toy just yet!
This week end I took the D300 and 35 1.8 to a local gig
I’m more than happy with the results, so I thought I’d post a few here.
Most of the shots were shot at ISO 3200, f2.5 – 2.8, 1/100 s. I also used a feature I …
