9Week 33 12-19/8/18

Took this slightly out of the week deadline, but I did have a few shots within the week that I wanted to post.

So here's the new toy. It's a Ukulele Bass. Beautiful Mahogany body, bone nut and bridge, built-in pre-amp and tuner and rubber... Yes! Rubber strings!

I hadn't picked up a bass in years and was initially looking around for an electronic drum set, which I hadn't played with in years as well. Anyway, came across the Uke bass online, read some reviews, tried it out at the store, and bought one. It's heaps of fun and completely playable in most music genres. In fact with the rubber strings it's sounds more acoustic bass than what you'd think a small ukulele body could produce. So it's time to get back to playing bass. More soon.

Strobist info: Godox V860ii flash on a stand, top left of the camera. triggered by a Godox X1T set at 1/128 power from under a metre away.

Week8 48  25 Nov - 2 Dec

Took this on the Friday before the weekend storms were supposed to hit Melbourne.

We were warned of flooding and what seemed like storms of apocalyptic proportions. As it turned out, there was pretty heavy rains throughout the weekend, but the flooding and the major storms bypassed Melbourne and affected some flood prone areas and mainly the outer suburbs.

Still it did give me a chance to capture those menacing clouds as they approached my balcony. More next week.

Week8 43 21-28 October

The totally adorable and somewhat grumpy Jack came visiting and we couldn't resist a quick photoshoot.

So meet Jack on his belly looking slightly stunned and annoyed but still cute as ever. Surrounding him were his very calm Mum and 2 Aunties, one of which was particularly anxious that Jack would start to learn to crawl and fall off the table. Jack on the other hand was just wondering what the fuss was about. More next week.

Strobist info: 2 x Elinchrom on about 4. The fill was shot through a 175cm Rotalux Octa about 5 feet away and almost inform of the camera right. The other was to background on a C-stand through a 65x65 soft box.

Week 42 - 28 Oct-4 Nov 2015

Here's one of my favourite outtakes from a shoot last week with Olympic Swimmer Belinda Hocking. I shot her in the gym and the pool and it was lots of fun and I managed to get scores of really good shots.

Got to really put the new LED Light Cubes to the test as well, and they performed outstandingly. Essentially, these LED Light Cubes are exactly what their names say they are... battery powered, 100mm cubes that can act as strobes or video lights. More next week.

Strobes Info: 2 LED Light Cubes both at 1/200. One on a light stand about 5 feet in front of Bindy for backlighting. The other was being held over her about 2-3 feet above.
