This week my plan was to only work with a large Octo-Box. But as things always work out I ended up getting carried away but it was a lot of fun. Stefanie modelled and Andreas joined me as part of my 2013 project.

A few weeks ago I saw several photos of a model simply warped in material an light with only one key light. The simplicity of it really appealed to my so I decided to do something similar. Alica and I had planed to shoot together last year but due to complications it unfortunately never happened, so I took this opportunity to catch up.
Last Monday nights shoot idea was based around using one key light in the same position. I didn’t want to change the position, power output or the aperture of my camera, simply change the light-modifiers to have a 100% comparison between Soft-Box VS Beauty-Dish.

Last month Tom started to get the lightGIANTS friday night shoots back into motion. Local band “Palm Valley” needed new photos after recently changeing their line up, so it was perfect timing.
I have been having a lot of fun with my 2013 project, unfortunately I’m going away for the next few weeks so I wont have the chance to shoot in the studio. But this week I was shooting with Rockabella Kat as model and Snow White as guest photographer.
Kat did a fantastic job modelling for the first time she quickly adapted to the new situation and put in a lot of effort.
This week I continued my Monday night studio project with Vincent as model and Stephanie as guest photographer. A few months ago Vincent suggested a shoot based on Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I jumped at the chance to do this shoot as the concept fitted will to a few ideas I have had floating around in the back of my head for a while now. It also bought back memories of when I read the book during a backpacking trip from Sydney to Perth way back in the mid 90’s. The concept behind this shoot was then to portray a journey of self destruction through light and lens choice, I also wanted to keep the lighting at around constant f8 (we actually shoot between f7.1 and 9) so that there was a continuation look and feel through out the night.

70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM II
Last year I was looking at getting the 70-400 but waited when i was told there would be a new version early this year. The revised 70-400mm F4-5.6 G SSM II is ideal for capturing wildlife and action-packed sports. The upgraded super-telephoto zoom builds further on the premium performance of its predecessor with enhanced optics and faster, more responsive auto-focus. With its new LSI drive circuit, auto-focus speed of the SSM (Super Sonic Wave Motor) is around four times quicker than before. Teamed with enhanced tracking AF, the upgraded lens is now even more suitable for capturing stills and Full HD video of fast-moving subjects.
