14 September 2009 in photographyAlbany fireworks
14 September 2009 in photographyIt was the last moments of 2006 and the first moments of 2007 when these photos were taken. My parents wanted a bit of a break from Perth and wanted to travel to Albany. They asked me if I wanted to come along and well, I guess I was wanting a bit of a break too. Besides which I didn’t think I actually had any major plans for new years anyway. So, after quickly drinking my pint of beer I headed down to Albany’s foreshore with my tripod and started capturing photos. It took me awhile and some assistance from my dad to actually capture the fireworks. In the end I think the conditions were just right to capture some amazing shots. I’ve tried to take pictures of fireworks later and I didn’t quite succeed as well as I did here.
Dirty work

13 September 2009 in photographyEvery photographer comes to a point where their own equipment just isn’t good enough anymore. You have to buy more and more things, or at least borrow them. When I borrowed my mates 70-200mm f2.8 L series lens I wasn’t really sure what I was going to take photos of.. So I pointed it to a mirror and this is obviously what I saw.
Self Portrait
13 September 2009 in photographyMy hair was getting rather long and annoying me, also I think this was around the time I was finding out that my hair was starting to thin out. So I wanted to be rid of it! And that I did, I took a photo to prove it.

12 September 2009 in photographyMy Hand
12 September 2009 in photographyI was trying to capture the texture on my hand here, but I found that with a few photoshop tweaks I could capture my veins too. I do remember struggling to find a black background for this photo. I think I ended up using a tshirt laying on top of a bean bag. I’ve never really been one for spending lots of money on fancy photography backdrops and all that.
Photo shootings with Melissa
12 September 2009 in photographyWell, what’s there to say about Melissa? We had some great fun together and taking photos just made it all the merrier. Apart from being my most photographed person, she is also full of energy and possesses uniquely brilliant personality. Sadly though she has moved over to Sydney to pursue her dreams in journalism which puts a hinder on the possibility of more photo shoot sessions.
