Models on the top of Canberra

Another shoot in the cold with my favorite model Rachelle and another young and talented model : Emma.

This is the second time that I shoot Rachelle during this winter. Despite the cold, both models showed professionalism and did a really good job.

Once again I put the Canon 5D Mark II and the Nikon D700 to the test and I shot more with the Nikon than the previous shoot.

Both cameras perform beautifully but I still have my preference for the Canon for its bigger file size (more mega pixels) and the color rendition. But again, after post, one can barely tell, especially for web based sizes.

For this shoot, I had the pleasure to have the visit of my Dad. He was “responsible” for my love of photography and it was really cool to have Dad on set.

Check out the behind the scene video under the photos. The video was shot my my brother Vincent. The shoot was on Mt Ainslie in Canberra.

Enjoy.

APPA 2009 update

Just got the prints back from Canon APPA 2009.

As I mentioned in the previous post that I missed the judging of one of the prints… well it got a hounorable score of 79 out of 100, which is only at one point away from a second Silver Award for a firstimer.

That’s pretty good.

All silver and gold awards will be published in the Canon-sponsored Australian Professional Photograohy Award book which will be released next year before Canon APPA 2010. How exciting is that.

Here is the missing print, by 1 point, for that book :p

but I’ll be back for more

Winter in the park

Who’d have thought that I’d be outside such often during winter.

I spent so much time outside that I even forgot to blog and put up some new stuffs. Promised, I’ll get back behind the keyboard soon.

These are a fewphotos from a recent shot with Rachelle. My hat off for Rachelle, who braved the cold, and posed for me in really thin coats.

There was a double purpose for this shoot, Rachelle’s portfolio and, as a dual system shooter, I wanted to put my gears in real shooting situation tests:

I packed my 2 Canon 5D Mark II and my Nikon D700 along with their famous 70-200 f2.8 L/ED IS/VR USM/AF-S.

I will be posting a full report on this particular dual system shoot in a next post, so stick around.

These are a few images from the shoot. Scroll down for a behind-the-scene video.

Autumn leaves

It is a beautiful season now in Canberra where trees are losing their leaves and the landscape is showing off some amazing colours.
Between two assignment, I stopped by the parliamentary square for a break and couldn’t resist to snap a few images.
Beautiful colours and a very peaceful quietness in the middle of a week day afternoon.

Photos taken with a Nikon D700. Enjoy.
