OK so it's my turn to post my PAD.
I've been stressing over this for a few weeks as I've tried to do the best job possible. I had some visions from day one about what I wanted to do but some of those didn't quite happen due to several circumstances. All in all I'm pretty happy with what I've got. Hope everyone enjoys it.
Riding - Although I'm happy with this shot, I was disappointed about cutting the front wheel in half. Shot at Thirroul DH track, 17-40L at 17mm with 430EXII to the left, 580EXII to the right.
Remote Lighting - I am very happy with how this came out. My friend Renee came over to model for me with a fancy new hair style by her best friend (they're both hairdressers). Set up for this is 50mm f1.8 at f2.2. 580EXII through 60cm x 60cm soft box high left, 430EXII through brolly right slightly rear for backlight and fill.
Blur - I shot this at Mt Panorama over Easter. Formula Ford race shot with 70-200 f2.8. The blur is done in post (I'm not that good lol) using a radial blur which I thought looked pretty cool.
Couples - I had planned to try a maternity shoot with some friends but unfortunately we couldn't get a day to shoot. So, I shot this whilst doing a sunrise over Easter just outside Bathurst on a foggy morning. Two Rosella's in the top left of the dead tree.
Long Exposure - This one was hard for me to pick as I've taken heaps over the past few weeks. I've decided to go with one I took today at Lodore Falls in The Valley Of The Waters, Blue Mountains. Shot with 17-40L at 17mm f22 and 1.6sec exposure. The lens was constantly fogging up so I was lucky to get a fairly clean shot. Very nice place to shoot and will be going back again soon.
Splash - I had heaps of fun shooting this. Again my friend Renee offered to model for me as I wanted to try a mermaid shoot (think the movie Splash with Daryl Hannah). The original idea was for her to make and wear a mermaid tail and make some splashing in the water. The hard part was to keep a nice relaxed face when doing this (not easy). For this reason I'm posting two shots from our shoot. Both shot with 70-200 f2.8 with 580EXII through softbox close left and 430EXII right for fill.
