Oookay, one hell of an act to follow, but I guess I had it coming asking for the last day. (which now, is no longer the last!) Anyway, I had planned to do a few different things, but ended up getting pretty tied down with my assignments, so have had to grab one from the archives, and didn't get around to doing the after dark shot I had planned.
Nonetheless, I had a first genuine attempt at taking a car photo, spent an afternoon shooting some downhill, and experimented with my new lens, so I can't complain too much!
I hope you enjoy!
1. Riding
Nick Turnbull had barely touched a bike in years. After building up his new rig, a classic red Intense M3, we spent the afternoon shooting at a classic Sydney track. Ended up with this. Lens: 85mm 1.8
2. Portrait
Farkin's very own Alan. We got up early one morning and headed out to West Head to shoot some stuff in the singletrack. The sun just peeked far enough out of the clouds to get a few shots before the mist stole it away again. Lens: 24-70 2.8
3. Black & White
Archive shot, but I haven't put it up here so puh. I spent a weekend up at South-West Rocks for Dave and Sammy's wedding, with Tristan and Elliot. If any of you are familiar with The Grove, it is the same trail-boss Dave that I am talking about. I was filming, and had stopped recording for a moment. They all looked at each other at the right moment, and through the live-view I snapped this one very quickly. The only photo I took all weekend! Lens: 24-70 2.8
4. Bokeh
Tristan Cardew, in whole form, without a camera in front of his face. This one was with a new toy, and it was taken in almost pitch black. Somehow managed to pull of a decent focus. Lens: 50mm 1.4
5. After Dark
I didn't get what I wanted for after dark, but thought about the term literally. If we are speaking correctly, after dark would most definitely mean after darkness, which leaves me to assume that it is daytime that I need to photograph, right?
Lens: 17-40 f4
6. Transportation
So I think this one is my favourite. I wasn't really expecting much considering I had never really shot cars, but I took my time and lit as evenly as possible. This is Daver's lovely new toy, an Evolution VIII FQ320 MR. It's pretty quick... Lens: 50mm 1.4
