Photoset: Gold Coast Beach Shoot with Amy O’Farrell
November 19th, 2009
On the 14th November I had a shoot with the awesome Amy O’Farrell. Special thanks to Jenny Ockenden the Make-Up Artist and also to Raymon Suen for assisting with the shoot. Shot was taken place at Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. Particularly at Miami Beach. I used a Nikon D700 with the Nikkor 50mm 1.8D and 85mm 1.8D. My Nikon D90 is still in the repair shop (Mental note: Don’t ever use Camera Clinic again for repairs, it takes 4 weeks to get them to LOOK at it, and I’ve recently found out they only ship once a week which is just ridiculous). Strangely I found the D700 to have pretty bad ergonomics around the grip. I blame it on Raymond for showing me his Canon 30D, the grip on that body is amazing. Enjoy the photos…
Enjoy. There Will be more coming. As Always, I will appreciate any C&C.
Photo5 Entry – Portraiture 2009
October 30th, 2009I’ve been wondering for a long time whether I should upload and share my attempts for the Canon Photo5 competition. Finally, I couldn’t hold it any longer cause these images were so fun to make! I just hope no one is stupid enough to steal these ideas. Hope you guys like it and if you have lots of money, ask me for the judge’s contact details so you can send them a bribe on behalf of me. You can see my entry on the entries page here
Here are the ones that didn’t make the cut..
I really liked these images as well but it didn’t have the same aura of the first photo.
If you are also entering the competition, good luck! I hope you all loose. Give me my 5DmkII plzkthxbye.

VIDEO: Studio Shoot – Kelly
October 18th, 2009Hopefully I’ll be doing more of this in the future. But since I am still out of a camera, I am deeply depressed. I’ve placed my D90 in for repairs, I am still hoping warranty will cover it. Anywho, this is a quick video I did of today’s shoot. In the frame is our friend Kelly and James Ottaway. I am pretty lacking in the video department, so bare with me as I sharpen my video editing skills.

Video was shot with the Nikon D90 and 50mm 1.8d. HD definitely recommended.

Big Things Comes in Small Packages
October 17th, 2009
What was supposed to be a fun night quickly turned into a disaster. I decided last week to buy a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D. I figure, it’s one of the most popular lenses out there, it costs almost nothing and it’s darn good. The lens arrived this morning, I quickly went to the post office to grab it before I go off to uni (somehow AusPost doesn’t like driving into people’s driveways so they always leave a get-off-your-butt gesture in the form of a consignment note. Grr.). When I finally got to play around with it.. something went wrong. Horribly wrong. I had the night planned out, but instead, I ended up using the new lens to take photos of my broken Nikon D90. (insert horribly saddened face emoticon)
Cold sweat started to soak my t-shirt, my heart felt like it was shot with a 22 calibre shotgun. At first I was taking a few photos of the newly acquired lens with my camera, all good until couple of frames later, something sounded odd. A dampened shutter sound. Incomplete. I realised immediately my D90 had stabbed me in the back. To make it worst, I have a photoshoot session with two models tomorrow. I don’t know how to explain the camera’s problem, but to my best knowledge, the camera has lost it’s aperture control capabilities. Somehow, the camera’s aperture rod is unable to move the aperture rod of the lens. As you can see from the picture above, the aperture stays shut the entire time it’s on the camera (which should’ve been opened wide). The DOF Preview did not do anything. One thing led to another, my legend….ary friend lent me his D90 for tomorrow.
I was planning to write a mini review of the 50mm, but seeing as I am totally unmotivated I’ll leave you in the hands of google searches, besides the title of this post says it all about the 50mm 1.8D:

So I am off to, hopefully, claim warranty first thing tomorrow before the photoshoot. Wish me luck.
Michael.
