Image-A-Week (Wk10)

Stig — Sun, 23 Sep 2007 13:36:41 +0000

On Friday of this week I travelled to Toowoomba and spent the night at my parents, then early on Saturday morning I set off for Brisbane. Why you may ask? Well, because I had a planned shoot with a young model by the name of Ruski¹. Ruski is only new to the modelling scene but I have to say, not only is she an attractive young lady with a unique look, but she is also very professional and a real pleasure to work with. The few hours I spent with her passed quickly as we chatted, took photos and travelled across the Brisbane area from location to location.

You will be seeing more of her in a week or so when I have finished editing the pictures that we took but for now here, as my Image-A-Week submission, are a couple of taster shots.

Well, this week I did manage to get our and do some shooting. Today in fact! John¹ and I headed out to the Pine Forest today and had a wander in the peace, tranquillity and fresh air. It was nice wandering around out there. Really quiet and calming. So this week I give you two shots. Not necessarily my best, but just trying to represent the beauty, calm and peace that we experienced while walking….

Yes, my friend and fellow Image-A-Week challenge participant, John.

Well bugga, I failed this week… I guess it was bound to happen sometime, but after only eight weeks? Oh well, it was a very busy week and I just simply had no time to get out and take a pic or two. The challenge continues though. Just because I failed to post an image one week does not mean I am giving up. So, stay tuned and another post shall follow shortly with this weeks image or images…….

Where did this last week go? Here is it Tuesday night already. Yes that is right, I am actually late with my week 7 image. OOps!! I actually did have it shot last week, just did not get time to edit and upload. Anyway, all done now and hopefully on time next time.

So this week I played around with a few shots of Mick and Manda.

Yet another busy week this week preparing for the exhibition, surviving my other work and so on. But, I got asked a few weeks back to try and photograph some beautiful antique jewellery, and today was the day.

Here is a sneak peek. An antique Sapphire and Diamond ring.

A busy week this week preparing for the exhibition in October, but I managed to take this one this evening. Not my best, but I hope it is liked by some. So I give you “And the Queen Cried…”

Week 4 already, and I am still managing at least one image….YAY!!

Okay, this week is something very different. I have done a shot like this before, but it did not turn out quite as well as this one I think. What it is though, is an image taken with an Infra Red filter. It was a 5 second exposure, and as the shutter remained open, the zoom on the lens was turned. So, here is “Void”;

Looking for inspiration for this weeks Image-A-Week picture, I found myself in my cluttered and currently untidy garage. It is my workshop and a storage place for all manner of things. There is a kayak, a mountain bike, tools, boxes, a trailer, furniture, and much more. At the moment it is also the dumping ground for jobs that I have not had time to get to yet. As a result it is barely even standing room only at present (I really must get back in there and clean it up.).

As well as all that it is quite an photographic inspiration, so this week I bring you two images again……..

Oh, and one more thing…. I am experimenting with a copyright mark on my images again. I am not 100% sure if I like it or not (so comments are welcome..), and they will only be on images used on the Web, but I do think that in this day and age it is safer to copyright work that is published online.

I am currently still experimenting with my new dioptre filters for my 50mm lens. So for this weeks image I actually have two shots. Both are simply examples of me exploring more of my yard at close distance.

Also, John¹ has accepted my Image-A-Week challenge. So, you should start seeing a weekly example of his photography at his site soon.

Anyway, here are this weeks shots;

Time…..Never Enough, and the Image-A-Week Challenge

Well, it has been a little while again since I last posted to this site. Life, as is often the case, has been busy. It seems it always is though….

Anyway in an attempt to get myself motivated and moving again, and with the prodding of my friend John¹. I have decided to give myself a bit of a challenge. I know there are many picture a day sites out there, where people attempt to take and publish a photo everyday. Well, while I like the idea, I just do not have that much time. So I have instead decided to attempt the not so demanding challenge of an image a week². I figure that is something within my time restraints, and it will mean that I will update this site at least once a week if not more. Also, I am hoping that I can do this in conjunction with John. Meaning that there will be two of us on two site trying for a new image a week. We shall see if he accepts though.

So, without further rambling or fanfare, here is my first weeks image;
