Project 365 – 88 – Red

drec — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 10:18:52 +0000

Does Photography interfere with your daily routines? Like when about to poor a glass of Red Wine you hold up the guest as you grab your flash and quickly try and find the whitest wall(Unfortunately, this fridge has a textured side). So people looked at me like I’m a little strange. More Beverage shots to Read more ...

Project 365 – 87 – Green

drec — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 12:43:21 +0000

Found a slightly decent size Green Apple to play with, unfortunately it wasn’t up to handling a Flash placed inside. Lucky I cut the apple not in a perfect half as I managed to use the front end. I’ll be playing with more food related Photography coming up but my skills in the kitchen let Read more ...

Project 365 – 86 – Fire

drec — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 16:24:35 +0000

I’ve tried playing with Water Drops so decided to head to the other end of the scale and play with Fire. Got a few ideas I’ll be trying out shortly, I know I have some Fire Twirling somewhere on my Hard Drive from Years ago. This one is fun, if you try this approach maybe Read more ...

Project 365 – 81/85

Another mixed bag of Photography this post from attempts of Star Trails over the bright lights of Surfers Paradise, more Macro Photography, Smoke and Charlie Boy. Charlie Boy has been a great cat to practise off camera flash and lighting on. You have to set up pretty quick and get the shot before he decides Read more ...

Project 365 – 80 – Water Study

drec — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 02:13:02 +0000

Playing around with water – I’m surprised I haven’t tried this a little earlier than now. It’s a pretty simple technique and only a couple of things are required. I used the baking tray for my water to catch in, suspended the bag with water off my light stand and a sheet of paper to Read more ...

Project 365 – 74/79

drec — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:36:34 +0000

Had some internet connection problems and uploading and general surfing have been a bit like the old dial-up days, all good again. It’s been a slow week on the Photographic front and even though the wind’s been up I’ve continued practising using my Macro Extension tubes plus a family pet(always good to fall back on).

Project 365 – 71/72/73 Mixed Bag

drec — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 04:52:51 +0000

Bit of a mixed bag from the last couple of days, I’ll be out the door getting today’s shot shortly. Once again, Charlie is one of my favourite subjects to play with off camera flash. Sunday was a lazy day so I tried a new lighting approach for Photographing my Fish Tank. Flash from above Read more ...

Project 365-70 Macro+Wind = ?

drec — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:13:36 +0000

Decided I wanted to challenge myself and practise the art of Macro Photography today and know now that Wind plus Macro don’t really go hand in hand. I put the 20mm Extension tube on with my 17-50 lens and left home without my bag and tripod, it did feel strange leaving my gear behind. Next Read more ...

Project 365/69 An Apple a Day

drec — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:17:35 +0000

Why shouldn’t you play with your food? Well, take an apple and an off camera flash, have some fun and then eat the apple before it turns too brown. Downside to this is the lighting makes all the blemishes and bruises come to life. I’ll look for some large green apples and I’ll try this Read more ...

Photography Project 365 – 68

drec — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:36:30 +0000

Not too much time to spend today pursuing Photography though I did manage to shoot off a couple of Night Exposures of Surfers Paradise. Think I have almost nailed the settings down for this spot. F11 and Two and a Half minutes. Decided to put the camera’s automatic Noise Reduction on and most of my Read more ...
