Light painting
|
If all will go well we will have some light painting this weekend. Got couple ideas, just need good light source...
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
|
I am back to car photography for next couple of weeks starting with new Subaru Impreza WRX STi, which looks great and drives even better! We had short notice to prepare ourselves but the result is pleasing. Location is nice, we didn't even think that we will end up in Sunseeker boat's hangar. Next ones shall be event more interesting, i have couple ideas for locations and i will be able to bring more gear along this time.
Clubbing photo guide
|
I have created simple website that contains clubbing photo guide and clubbing gallery for people who want to get in to clubbing photography and seeking advice, tips and examples.
Hopefully it will contain more info in there will be enough requests, and i am thinking of getting proper domain for it.
But for now

New Website
|
I am working hard on my website using ShowIt application, which is great, simple, but surprisingly effective, and allow you to create nice flash websites, not as advanced as some software out there, but is pretty good.
Stay tuned, RW photo coming soon!!!

Inspirations

I was scavenging acros the internet looking for for some car photography inspirations and came across this photographer, Tim Wallace, which is now one of my favourites along with Dave Hill and Ralph Lemarechal.

Mitsubishi ASX

Love that design, nice to drive diesel, seems very responsive and accelerates fast. Bad weather again, and that is when i am really upset because i can not afford decent portable lighting kit.
Without your own lights you need to take what is available, and usually it is not as it meant to be.

Renault Twingo Wind

Last week i have photographed new Renault, which is very nice small car, great to drive, it is just perfect for jersey summer days. The obvious downside it is size, but actually there was more room in the boot than in new Megane cabrio we photographed later the same day.
Lens Back
|
Finally i have recieved my 80-200 lens back. I have been cleaned on inside, as there was some dust and fungus as well. It's excellent, can't wait to go and field-test it on Sunday air race.
Jersey marathon 09
|
I just came across marathon-photos.com the website i was taking pictures for last year. Now i know the shots i have provided them with, were worth more than mere 100 pounds. Quality comes with experience.
High ISO
|
Usually you keep quality in mind. Sometimes, however, there is no other option than to increase ISO.
Most of the cameras offer usable ISO up to let say 1600. As my 40D does. Sony is out of the competition and Nikon... well it's just a Nikon. Impressive how good the pictures come out on ISO 12800 on 5Dmk2.
There is grain - visible, can't miss it but overall performance is just amazing. Picture is not as pin sharp as it would be in, let say, day light, but after all you got pretty decent pictures from scene where other cameras will either cause unacceptable blur due to long exposure time or had to fire flash making everything black but very foreground.
Boxing and similar type of photography as i just realised is tough, you need to be on the side of the ring, and be lucky. Lucky to get nice shot, that means be comfortable to frame (how difficult is to focus on aligning to horizon when you need to watch out for kicks and punches), and have good timing, too. Usually you can be quick enough to take shot, but is worth to have sequence, just to get that frame of critical shot. And you need to be really careful, as they bounce against ropes, sometimes almost being throw out of the ring so be aware what is going on.
High ISO with hi frame rate combination gives a lot of photos to choose from, and that might be time consuming. Delete all photos with bad focus, without some good alignment, and without some sense.
You just need to be lucky and quick enough to capture something outstanding.
I like this shoot a lot, first few seconds of 5th round, kick when you wet cause all the water drops fly in the air. I remember seeing that in some boxing photography and i liked it. Now i have got my own one, first to start with.
