Day Twenty Six - Tyson


I met up with Tys this morning to discuss entering the Utas Big Ad Break Competition. The idea is to make a commercial for Utas Open Day featuring a red key. It's already been running for about a month and entries close on July 10th so we're kind of hopping on to the wagon a little late but good work is often created when the pressure's on.

Nikon D200
My sweet sweet 50mm f1.8 at 1.8
ISO 800 at 1/80 I think.

Same settings for the photo below. I'm really getting into shooting candid photos of people and i'd also like to do a lot more portraits. People are so interesting to photograph.

Day Twenty Five - Ledge Hammers


I'm in the process of shooting a few photos of Nick Hills for his sponsor, Mutiny Bikes. Both Nick and myself had a pretty big night last night so we didn't really leave the house today until about 1pm, which only gave me about 2 hours before i had to work. A bunch of us headed in kingston direction and Nick fired out this high-speed nose wheelie on a previously un-rideable ledge.

Nikon D200
10.5mm f2.8 Fisheye at f8
ISO 100 at 1/250th.

Vivitar 285 hv at 1/2 power to camera left pointing up.
Vivitar 285 at full power to camera right and away from the camera.

A little while afterwards Josh Fuller rode along a rail to 180 as you can probably see right below this. Fuller's a weapon. And I love the guy.
Camera and flash setup was similar to the above photo.
