Good friend and photography trainer extraodinaire Shelton Muller has put out a new instructional DVD for those aspiring to be wedding photographers. Titled “How to become a Wedding Photographer” it runs for 80 minutes in a slide show format.
A must see for those wishing to start out in the business.
Good work Shelton! Look forward to seeing more on this…
Saturday saw me venture back to the home of the Hampton Rovers AFC. I’ve been shooting the action of the senior team for a couple of years now and it has turned fruitful come finals time with me covering various games for the VAFA.
The day was cold and bleak – perfect for suburban football some would say. The Rovers were taking on Old Hailerbury which has the likes of ex-AFL starts Robert Harvey and Brett Voss. Harvs wasn’t in the action for this game but Vossy was and it was great to see the ex-Saint running around the paddock again (bias of being a St Kilda supporter I guess!).
The Rovers put up a great fight and came out victors in the end.

I finally got around to downloading a new app for my iPhone called Camera Bag. I first heard about it after reading Chase Jarvis’ blog post “5 Tips For Making Great iPhone Photos” many moons ago but never bothered to check it out until now. It’s not a free app (AUD$3.99) but it does help to spiff up those photos you’ve grabbed using the iPhone. I take my iPhone everywhere and regularly pull it out to grab a quick snap of something that might catch my eye if I don’t have my camera with me.
The top image is using the Helga style which I think is my favourite at the moment.
This quick grab below of my kids messing around together (low light hence the blur) is styled using the Magazine style which is quite a nifty effect too.

With 10 different styles it certainly improves on the standard image that comes out of the iPhone. Be interesting to see this app on the updated iPhone 3G S when it’s released. Will definitely be using this app and the iPhone more as a quick grab tool for images I see in my travels.
A while ago I branched out the photography section of my old website into a website of its own – this one!
I had always had the intention of adding it’s own blog so I could keep everyone updated on what I was doing photographically and now I have finally managed to get it online!
Stay tuned for more updates.
ps… I’ve imported all the posts from the old blog that was over at the BigCat website as they were mostly photography related. The can be found below.
