Mojo??

So, not a lot has happened photo-wise in the last few months. soo busy at work it's unbelievable how many new homes are being built here in Perth!
but i did get to do a few shots for a friend who makes hats/Fascinaters for a shop in Freo in her spare time.
she needed some shots for FB and e-blah. so i thought it would be quick 'n' easy. as she (Jessica) was going to use her young sis as the model (liz) and some borrowed clothes from the shop (Vicious delicious) and pick a spot in Freo in the arvo.

 So we found a spot near the Woolshed's and started. we had a change of wardrobe for various shots and hats so making things interesting. not to mention i had another friend doing some interesting moves while i changed settings!!

so all in all it was a good shoot, a tad too harsh on the sunlight but..still worth it!

still waiting to do that alleyway shoot with the devil and my dodge. 3mths and waiting!! soon i hope ;)

girl photos!

Well, as i said in the last post. girls and photos are fun!!! so i went and did a shoot with a friend who has a few nice looking friends and did a shoot in a friends paint shed. actually he sprays boats and this was the room for the small ones, so we (Bec) set it up and got some Poker games and made it a 50/60's poker night!!
the wall of fluro lights helped but still had to use Iso400 which in turn lead me to create a bit of blur in some of the pics (read most!) but i think it still worked out pretty damn good! i have some cheap studio lights but forgot to take them so just used what was there, i thought it looked good. but may use my lights next time so as not to go up high on the Iso and use a faster shutter speed.

there is an exhibition coming up soon in Perth city in 4 laneways, each has a different theme so will try to take a set for each laneway. (see if this works out tho?)

 

OO-roo!!

Photo leanings

Ok, so some of you might have seen my photos on Flickr. i dont really have a style to speak off, although i do a lot of car shoots. Either shows or drift comps or just my own cars. i dabble a bit in night photography/long exposures. but i dont really have a set style or  good at any particular genre...well, i've been thinking (a bad thing usually) and maybe i should combine the two things i really like..Cars and Girls!!!
I know....more blatant sexism....but what else can i do??? so many people these days can go spend up big on the latest gear and study Photoshop and get some decent stuff...but really, how many flowers/cats/bokeh kids etc can one take???
 and i like cars, don't mind the female form either! so....why not!  I did some shots before Xmas of a friend and my dodge, look fairly good so have another one tee'd up for the end of Jan and have asked another girl i know  to join us (or do a different shoot), she's never done anything like it before so she might enjoy it (or maybe not?)
So we shall see how this goes (maybe even grab a few cars from upcoming car shows) and maybe i could even get some in the magazines i so often buy. that would be cool!!

why me?

So, a group of us decided to go see Avatar3D.....fair enough...got my ticket while the others were eating dinner and went to meet them, sat down and showed the ticket..."what this health card thing?" one said...i look at the ticket...Hmmm i got a discount!...hang on.....i got this cause i look so old and decrepit that he took pity on me and thought i MUST be on a pension or invalids income???  FFUUUUUck you!
i didnt have a walking frame or glasses, was neat and tidy....why would some young prick think i needed a health care card?? did i look like i just ransacked a wheelie bin out the back of Target for my clothes?? UP YOURS youth of today!!! arsehole!

anyways, toddled(?) off inside the cinema and waited to see what the fuss was all about..."gee that screen looks a little dark??" we all chimed. they better fix that!...no..they didnt. 15mins later they tell us their fixing it...so we become the loud obnoxious group in the theatre. after 1 hr they tell us it cant be fixed and there sorry. we can get our money back. broken bulb in the projector. good on you youth of today!! "how many projectionists does it take to changed a blown light bulb??"
NONE, they have no fucking idea!!!

so we make it for the next day at 3ish.........only to find upon my arrival (they were already there) that the entire complex just lost all power!!! oh great now they've fucked up the entire neighborhood!

screw them... we went to another cinema 15mins away and finally saw it........well...all that and is that it???
it was ok visually, but the story...hmmm...as someone else posted it looks alot like 'Fern Gully'
oh well.....might as well go home and find some porn then!

aahhh thats better!
