June Photo Thread

[MaTBoY]

It's been ages since I've gotten to start the monthly thread! We're almost a week in too... it's quiet here. A little to quiet, if you know what I mean.

A few from Vivid.

Your pictures blow me away. Thanks for sharing these fantastic shots.

cheers GTRMAN.

Rich, I had a look at the full set, some nice shots in there. Your site looks f**king rad too. really clean/professional looking. (Except music... i hate music on sites ) Good work man!

Here's one more from my city adventure with Kory for vivid.

^ Thanks for the additional jaw dropping shot.

Love the reflection of lights on the water.

Took a business portrait for a friend on the weekend

Hehe, cheers Matt - I do make my own websites from the ground up, so that lets me create my websites exactly as I want them.

Nice shot Dan. Very crisp! I hope you don't mind, thought I'd show you a very small change if you wanted to get rid of the extra light on her face:

Just a simple 'darken' in photoshop

Great shot though man

[dan_the_man]

ahhh nice. i did have to adjust the exposure a little higher to get the white background to be whiter. Waiting on a set of strobes for the background so had to settle on an sb-800 to light it all up (which it did a mediocre job of)

Quick Light painting outside my house, would be a nice photo in the proper location and with a bit more effort but thought I'd put it up anyway.

I went into the city earlier tonight to check out Vivid - going on a Friday night was not a wise choice, and it was ridiculously packed. I found it pretty ordinary, and battling crowds while carrying a bag and tripod turned me off taking photos. I think I took maybe 15 all up, but I did have the GoPro attached to the inside of the windscreen of my cousin's car shooting in interval mode while we were driving, so depending on how those turned out I might post them up. If there's enough I'll make a short time-lapse (somehow) once I figure out how to do it and make it look decent.

Touches my heart > hope they have a most happy and meaningful marriage together!

Hope you had a great time with this couple Richard?

What a great start to the month. Wonderful vivid shots matt.

Jay - Brilliant shot there of jesus. Light painting right?

Nelson - Love the moon shots. Great detail and exposure. Well done.

Richard - +1 to terry's comment. Been seeing your wedding/portrait stuff lately and you have improved heaps. Keep it up!!

callan - I think its a great effort. I gotta try this light painting stuff one day..

Dan - Lovely portrait there!!! Keen to see more. Just watch the light bleeding from the flash you used to light up the background.

Two randoms from yesterday:

So cute!!!!

Lighting : 580exii and 430exii. Bare bulb, but still managed to get beautiful soft even light

Another two light setup: 580exii and 430exii. Plus window light on camera right.

Unedited pic: Might clone out those lines on the background hmmmm....

Thanks mate

As I said its not really the best location but my car was clean for a change and I wanted to give light painting another go so thought I would. Idealy I'd like to do the same photo in a better location and hopefully have a longer light so I'm not standing so close to the light and getting in the shot.

As always your photos are spot on but, As of yet I dont think you or Matt (and quite a few other people) have yet to put up a bad photo.

Some of Matt's photos just blow me away but. The fruits of experience and good equipment no doubt
