Neon…

I wanted to capture the colour of the fading sky and the neon sign in this shot. By shooting in RAW I was able to bring back a little detail in the sign. The white dot is the moon. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D MkII, EF 24-105mm f/4L ISExposure: ISO640, 1/25s @ f/4Post: Recovery, burn inContinue reading “Neon…”

The sunlight was fading so I had a high ISO setting ont he camera when I heard the train coming – I had enough time to dial down the aperture in order to slow the shutter speed, but not enough time to adjust the ISO. So even though its a bit noisy, the image ofContinue reading

Girl with guns…

By using the flash off camera I was able to direct light only on the face and hands. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D MkII, EF 24-105 f/4L, 580EX flash, off camera cord. Exposure: ISO500, 1/60s @ f/7.1, 50mm Post: Recovery, black point and sharpen adjustments. (Aperture)

Fascinated boy…

This one was worth going into Adobe Camera Raw for, something I rarely do. For this image though, recovering detail in the light panel my son is playingon while not losing control of the background made the effort worthwhile. Hardware: Canon EOS 5D Mk II, EF 24-105mm f/4L Exposure: ISO 3200, 1/50s @ f/7.1, 24mmContinue reading “Fascinated boy…”

Protest…

I love the way this image has come together. It’s from a rally protesting the impositions being put on photographers in Australia, and a combination of having photographers in the image, a costumed protester, great placards (I especially love the lack of an apostrophe in ‘Don’t’ – it points to how photographers can’t spell) andContinue reading “Protest…”

Shifted dots…

Using the tilt feature on a Canon 24mm TS lens changes the plane of focus, so instead of everything at a particular distance from the camera being in focus, the sharp dots run diagonally. This draws the eye across the frame in an unusual way, giving the image it’s point of difference. Hardware: Canon 5DContinue reading “Shifted dots…”

Airborne…

This image was made during evening practice for a night-time Supercross event. Flas has lit the rider, but the sunset s showing in the sky. Maybe I should have used high speed flash sync, to reduce ghosting in the movement of the bike, but I like the shot anyway. The light pole and edge ofContinue reading “Airborne…”
