This bell stands suspended above the calm, evening waters of one of the lakes amid the halls of learning at Deakin University, Geelong. Pentax istDS Camera.
For volleyball fanciers everywhere!
/ / I’m not actually sure what this bell’s significance is, other than it is rung by someone usually during a party here at Deakin University. The person who rings it has to jump into the lake to get to it so I’d say that being a Uni student (College student for you Nothern Hemispherians) it would be the tradition to be drunk when carrying out this tradition :o) / / / /

A few of you may remember that last month I shot my first wedding, talk about learning curve! So, in the interest of sharing so that others may learn, here’s an account of the day; / / First of all, I did not attempt this on my own, one of my best friends Tam helped me out as a second camera. It was also her first wedding so we were both quite nervous but relieved that we had each other. Tam came all the way from Adelaide to Geelong, the reason I asked her was because we had worked together in restaurants and bars over the years and were a great team. / / The couple was not known by me, they somehow found me through my beta bubblesite, emailed asking for a quote and then chose me from a few others (they said because I was experienced with kids and they have two, I think part of it was my cheap rate though). At one point, no at several points, I thought about turning it down because I don’t have a lot of experience and I don’t have a lot of equipment. But, it must be the Sagittarius in me, I went ahead and with the help of Elaine, got a contract typed up and signed with half payment. It helped that the couple were so very easy going too. / / The day started out with challenges and that was how it continued. First, the brides preparation was at their house which seriously had no window or mirror of use at all, seriously! Plus the kids are 3 and half and 2 and a half so you can imagine the amount of toys and mess everywhere. Later we arrived at the location, with winter approaching I was hoping for a few clouds to help with the light. The ceremony was under tall gum trees (eucalyptus) out in the open. Lovely, except the sun shone through the entire thing, mottling the light through the leaves of the trees. Every so often a cloud would pass too so camera adjustments were constantly being done whilst trying to capture “the moments”. Not easy! / / To follow, we decided to get the group shots done. My suggestion of making a list (weeks earlier) was implemented, however I had only received the list a day earlier and there was over 20 group shots! Every combination of family and friends possible I think! lol This would have been fine but as it was already approaching 5pm and the sun was getting lower, the group shots had to be done fast so that Tam and I had time to get away with the wedding party. / / Anyway, we did. The time I had with them was not ideal but the setting sun made a lovely backdrop. Reception followed, more photos of cake, dancing and kids, etc. All in all a very long day, very exhausting too, when you are a little tense for that many hours! / / Here’s a few from the bunch. I had trouble with processing because I couldn’t shoot in RAW so I just hope they all print ok now. I have permission from the couple to use the photos on the internet but they haven’t seen them yet (meeting to have a good look through tomorrow or Wednesday) so this is a sneak preview, please be kind I’m really nervous about putting these up. I think I will pee myself when the couple see them all for the first time! / / / / / / / / / / In conclusion / - RAW or nothing! / - two cameras is always better than one / - make sure group shots don’t blow out / - Kids get tired, do them first if poss / - bring emergency backdrop (for messy houses) / - don’t forget to breath

A morning stroll from our Hotel at Flinder Street. The photo was taken while I was in Melbourne, taking my mum to see the beautiful city.
Sarah and Dave’s wedding, I like this shot and they did too! In fact they liked all of our work (Tamarama72 helped me out) so I am very relieved and pleased! This was taken at Deakin Uni, near the Lakehouse. / / I have found wedding photography like pregnancy, never thought I’d go through that again but now I’m starting to wonder…
This photo was taken at a recent wedding. The bride & groom were married at the Deakin University Chapel, Geelong Victoria. With the winter sun very low in the sky, I had a very short time to get this type of shot. For those who want to know, the grooms kilt is in the colours not of his family, but of his favorite soccer team “Rangers” / Now that is fanatical!
