Spare Time
Friday, September 19th, 2008We have spent many years camping and just love to sit down with a fire going with the billy hanging over the fire and cooking using the fire. However we now have progressed to a Motorhome and just love that as well. Reason for that was that we have many weddings away from our home base so we can take the Motorhome and set up camp and then do the wedding and then after head back to the mobile home and enjoy that lifestyle. When we have no work on we get away to different parks away from home for the weekend. Will put a photo up soon so you can see it and if you see us in a park or on the road stop and say hello.
Weekends can’t come around quick enough. If you were thinking about a wedding somewhere drop a line as its no problem, love country weddings

Spiritual Light
This is a great photo and it was a great day out. I took about 12 photos there and it is hard to pick a bad one. It looks good on the wall as well. Nature is amazing. This is a very popular photo and you can have this with or without text, or better still choose your own text. This is a 12×8 photo and sells for a very low $35 plus postage and packing world wide.
Keep looking at this space for more to follow.
Portrait Photography
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Taking a ‘Super’ Portrait
How do you take a great portrait? As mentioned previously, you must research your subject to find personality to put into your photo. If this still does not envisage emotion and contrast why not alter your perspective or angle.
Most portraits are taken straight on at eye level. A basic ‘family’ or ‘kids’ portrait is typically in a neutral colour or kiddie atmosphere front on. This is good sense, as usually parents request their child/ren shot at full length, to portray their size at time of picture.
Shooting from up high or at ground level still gets this full body appearance but from a new perspective, generating interest. Taking photographs, especially portraits in the moment is very special. The casual, relaxed nature of the subject tends to allow more detail to float through. If you want to see the kind of detail that really impresses, step closer, or use zoom if necessary.
Try something different—shoot a portrait that doesn’t show the face, photograph the shadow instead of the subject, frame a dancer’s feet and unique shoes, catch the subject at work or play instead of aware of the camera, look for unusual lighting and shadows. Once again capture that unique feature about your subject.
