Got a new lens.. A lovely 10-24mm F3.5-4.5. Really loving the wide lens. Took this in South Melbourne tonight on my way to getting smokes from the Seven-Eleven. This is the South Melbourne Town Hall. I should have pulled out my tripod for the shot, buy it worked out well in the end. More tomorrow.
Germany v Italy tonight... don't really know who I want to win more.

Last 3 games and early mornings before the end of the Euros, so I'll make this quick.
Here's Fifi doing her best flight attendant pose. Will probably use this in a magazine I'm doing, but here's a bit of photoshop fun with a dash of HDR and bokeh. More tomorrow.
Strobist Info: 2x Elinchrom DLite 4's with soft boxes on either side of the camera about 6 feet high and 4 feet away from Fifi. they were both set to the lowest power (2).

Trying my new 24-70mm f2.8 lens today. It was an eBay purchase, and so far, so good. it is pretty sharp and really fast.
Anyway here's a cool shot of some really neat nail polish on Fifi. More tomorrow.

The ride home usually involves stopping at the railway crossing waiting for the 5.40pm to Sandringham to pass. Here it is in tilt-shift and HDR. We really should meet less often, it does mean a good 6 minute wait for both sides to cross. More tomorrow.

Lots of portraiture work today... so here's one of the outtakes. Meet Kat, she was one of the 7 portraits I took today. I would use this image, but I reckon she would say "too much head tilt". Oh well. More tomorrow.
Strobist info: Elinchrom DLite 4 in a 70x70 Softbox about a foot above Kat. One gold reflector about 3 feet high bouncing the light from the top... sort of a clam shell set up.

First night without football on TV in the morning. So here's my chance to grab some much needed Z's, So here's another one from a few months ago. Was trying a high key Black and White, but I do like the idea of black and white with only 5% of colour. Thanks Fifi. More tomorrow.
Strobist Info: 2 Elinchrom DLite 4s on either side of Fifi about 3 feet away on # 2 (lowest power) in soft boxes.

Going through my shots from a couple of months ago and just brushing up on my photoshop work and retouching. Found this one that worked quite well considering the lighting source. More tomorrow.
Strobist info: One SB 900 on full, bare, handheld pointing up at a mirror ball about 10-15 feet up and camera left. In fact, Brooke, the model is looking right at it. you can almost see the reflection off her eyes.

Took this off the balcony. A bit of tilt-shift play of what looks like a windscreen repair guy coming to the rescue of some poor motorist. More tomorrow.

More sleepless nights, so this is going to be quick, so that I can get as much sleep before the first game in 2 hours.
Here's one from the other day... haven't done a black and white in a while, and thought this looked really cool when I was processing it.

Spent a lovely winter's day with good friends today. I did have my camera, but was a bit more interested in the food and conversation than chasing a shot, as a result, here's one more from yesterday. A slightly different angle this time, through the windscreen. I kind of knew that we'd get some kind of reflection off the flash on the windscreen, but this didn't turn out too bad.
Strobist info: 2 speed lights - one in the car at 1/4 power on the floor of the passenger's side shooting straight into the roof of the car. The other bouncing off a gold reflector just out of shot in front and to the left of Stephanie. White Balance set to Tungsten.
