Sidd - The first photo in the blog with the low temp/blueish colours

I was just curious about how open you generally use your lens

I do print jobs but its mainly for my mates/good clients. I generally turn down print jobs to people that call me up out of the blue because it is a waste of time really haha. I only do it because it helps my friends and good clients get cheap high quality prints with my printing accounts. If you need something give me a buzz - But for a photographer like yourself, I would highly suggest at least a matt with even spot uv. I use matt lams with spot uv - client's always 'wow' over them hehe... all about portraying yourself highly in my line of work. Clients must be impressed with everything!

Matt, love the first pic - very cool

Well in regards to that photo im sure it was around f11-f14, maybe even f18 exposing for the background and keeping some details in the clouds.

Sometimes you dont have the time or space to take lighting with you so you have to use natural light.. and well I guess in this case the background was overexposed as I was trying to get the exposure correct on the girls.

Also generally i would use zoom lens to do group shots, but I was on a small wharf thingy and if I took a step back I would be in the water so had to use my wide lens. Nothing you can really do sometimes.This was probably f4, iso 1600. Metered for the brides face, got a reading.. then exposed for the brides flower.. and then shot away knowning what it should be around. But then the white flowers got overexposed but I think its fine.

In regards to the business card - yea my last one was matt but no spot uv. Still got some left but I will let you know. But why would you turn down print jobs? Maybe increase your prices to make it worthwhile?

Again, cool photo :D The white flowers look fine...I wouldn't of noticed they where overexposed if you didn't mention it :P I was too busy looking at faces and the colourful flowers.

Quality printing is generally touchy stuff so I only do it for those that appreciate it - As I was saying, I only do it to help those out that need it. Save them a few bucks, otherwise I would rather stick to what I do best.

nice work matt, impressive as always.

Nice lighting stand.. Love it.

Matt - excellent shot there.

pretty much straight out of the camera. No editing to skin/face.. or any blurry bits added in.. just resized and sharped and increased the orange a bit. That's it..

More of these series to come :)

Time to go into the city at night and experiment more.

What type of lizard is that? Nice capture of it.

Richie - Nice soft light in the 2nd one. Little angled but all good. Nice image :)

F18, ISO 800, 1/160th. Should have had it at iso100 but you learn from your mistakes. Could have got a bit more sky into it.

Einstein+BD at near full power.
