Softly As I Leave You - Elvis Presley

Day 4 of my fever saga and still no end in sight. I get bouts of the fever breaking and then it's back to bed and complete knock out. What the hell is going on?

Really wasn't in the mood to be shooting today, so luckily my new Lumodi Beauty Dish was still on the stand and I kind of grabbed whatever I could to shoot. That's Teddy (named after Teddy Sherringham who used to play for Spurs...) Anyway, HDR and one flash set up. More tomorrow.

Deep Dish - Ani Defranco


Got back to work today to find my new toy in the mail. Meet my new beauty dish. Got it on eBay and they even print your choice of a logo in the middle and also provide you with a softbox cover. Now that really good value. Only problem is that for once this year I was without my camera. It must have been the sickness, because I never leave home with out my camera. Anyway, my flu got the better of me today and I left slightly after lunch to go home and try and sleep off this sickness.

Back to the picture. Eventually got up and setup this shot. Simple shot really, stuck a flash in the back and used the lights of streets as a background. Oh and it was really blowing and raining real hard when I took this shot, so had to keep everything nice and dry as best as I could, which also ties back to the tag on the picture, just swap Chicago with Melbourne. More Tomorrow.

True Colours - Cindy Lauper


Playing around with different colour temperatures. You'll see everything from very cool to warm light and even black and white.

Still a bit feverish today so I'll be quick. More tomorrow.

Time is on my side - Rolling Stones

Had a whole spiel on daylight saving prepared to day, and for the record, I'm for it... but I'm feeling a bit sick right now. Eyes are burning, throat is a bit raw and there's a fever mounting. So it's going to be a short one today.

Today's shot is of a dead clock out in the smoker's shed. Cobwebs and all, it looks like it has seen better days. HDR to get the wood grain going and a bit of colour adjustment to make it a bit warm. More tomorrow. Hopefully a good night's sleep will get rid of this fever.

The Stranger - Billy Joel

Having already introduced you to most of my guitars, I thought I'd show you how they stay on me. Meet my trust worthy guitar strap... it's modelled after a vintage 50's Fender strap, and it's about 25-30 years old now. Well it's either I take a shot of the strap or I'm left with a balcony or car park shot today.

Anyway, HDR on the old leather and the satin sheets really looks cool, so I had to. More tomorrow.

Passion Flounder - Blink 182

Went shopping this morning around South Melbourne Markets and was at the fishmonger, so I couldn't resist taking a shot of what they had on display.

Sorry for the blood and guts in this photo, but I really like what HDR does to stainless steel, plastic bags and the texture of the fish skin.

Lady Marmalade - Labelle

You know what, as of a year or so ago, I would never have considered myself as a coffee drinker. However, since the office put in a coffee machine, I seem to be drinking about 2-3 cups a day. Mind you, I don't really drink coffee on weekends, so am I a coffee addict?

If I am a coffee drinker, I must not be a very discerning one. Most coffee drinkers at work consider the coffee from the machine below par, I however actually like the coffee that comes from those mechanised vending machine spouts. Mochachino is my favourite at the moment.

Anyway, today's shot is of that really nice brew (damn, I thought I could have gotten away with not saying the word brew!) HDR'd of course. More tomorrow.
