April Photo Thread

[NA_Goodness]

Any reason why he's still running leaves? I would have thought he'd have changed to springs by now. Still looks tough. Hopefully my Patrol looks like that one day

Well done mate. Think you did a good job getting the bride to look natural and at ease, that's not easy, right? What was the venue?

Here's one of a few shots I took round the back of a disused Holden / Nissan dealership. Originally just wanted to take some quick snaps to test out the location but it ended up looking ok, well, better than I'd expected anyway.

Sometimes its not as they are not comfortable in front of a camera. Thanks for the kind words mate. Lots more pics from that wedding on my blog.

Love your 34 gtr Nice clean image I like it. Would look great with a night time shot of the city skyline in the background.

Sidd your getting much better (and seems better at organizing too). Good shots man, hard as fcuk to take group shots! Keep it up.

And Matt. Sweet moody shot of your 34! Keep shooting more

[God_speed]

Thanks a lot fellas. Nice to get your feedback.

So how do you take a good group shot? ...5fps? A lot of kudos to you guys doing wedding photos, wouldn't want to confront the bridal party if the photos didn't come out they way they expected, there's so much emphasis on the day being 'perfect' and all.

Thanks for the kind words kory Means a lot.. cheers

Testing out video light in very low lit conditions:

Left: In a dark room with no lights. Right pic: Video light turned up.

Which one? The last one I posted? I climbed a roof hahah. Dangerous but worth it and only way to get a shot of everyone. Even at 24mm on full frame i couldnt get everyone in, even after telling everyone to get in closer or go to the back.. Some people dont listen (not saying about that shot above, but at most weddings I have been too). I cant force them too. If they dont listen then just have to go with it.

Sidd, I have to agree with Matt and Kory - your photos are just getting better and better! And like Matt, I would never agree to be a wedding photographer. It'd be more pressure than I want to handle making sure everything goes right, because it's one day you can't really go back and repeat.

Matt, nice work with the 34 too! Looks like a good location.

BAM!

[God_speed]

Thx Nick

Yeah Terry and I took some night shots of both the black and blue GTRs, but the results were a bit mixed. Only got a D70 (very small screen) so it's hard to get a handle on how well the pics turn out until I get it back on the latop. I'll have to invest in some umbrellas...?

Hey Sidd, haha I mean muliple frames per second, because it's hard to get so many people synchronised.

[God_speed]

BAM!

Nice Matty. Obelisk in the middle of nowhere looks very eerie.

Oh and the RE30s are gone - hope you don't mind?

[FST513]

In that group shot, sidd would of instructed them what to do.

For e.g. Everybody wave at me! Snapped a few shots.

Everybody jump! Snap a few.

etc etc..

Best to take multiple shots but not spraying away. 5DII can't even do 5fps anyway

[NA_Goodness]

LOVE the bokeh in the video light test, Sidd! And as everyone else is saying, those wedding shots are awesome! I'm another who doesn't want to do weddings due to the pressure. Keep up the good work!

[siddr20]

Yup I would have instructed them. You have to be quick as people dont like standing around. So you have to get your settings right in the first few clicks and quickly adjust.

I like the group shot I did for this wedding: http://sidd-rishi.com.au/blog/2/laura-and-christophers-wedding-part-1/

The black and white looks awesome. I even printed it onto my sample album.

Nice shots there matty boy. Would be a good place for a model shoot.

[MaTBoY]

cheers,

a model shot... never thought about it but yeah I can picture what I'd do there. just need to T up a model, and some time. and some wheels. grrrrr.

I've just posted a couple more wallpapers up on my site. there's a 33(PEZMOBILE) and some Work. Haven't posted anything up. been on holidays and busy. will get back into the swing of things.

[MaTBoY]

ok, so the april shoot didn't happen. it's to cold and you'd need to get up to early for a sunrise at the moment.

so change of plans. let's hit up the city for an adventure and get some night shots of some icons and maybe even some muck around shots. I'm thinking later in the month might be easier to plan for...

thoughts?
