• Retro poster designs

    Here’s a couple of retro-esque graphics I’ve made. This was the cover for a university yearbook (I also did the layout, design and prepress for the yearbook): A concept poster for a friend’s short film: This is a lot older (2007?), an illustration to accompany an article on Thorium energy.

  • 135/35mm film in 120 Medium Format back

    I recently acquired a Bronica GS-1 6×7 medium format camera – I’m loving medium format film, but am in a bit of a dry spot while I wait for a box of the stuff to arrive from the US. I found an excellent post by another GS-1 owner (flickr stream) who’d managed to squeeze a…

  • Doodlebug Doodle (NSFW)

    I work at a newspaper, and one of my roles is to write the content for the kids page, as well as judge the entries for the weekly ‘doodlebug’ competition. Every week a new doodlebug is published in the paper, and the kiddies will make a drawing from it. Two winners are selected and their…

  • Perth Arena Timelapse

    Shot on 14th May 2010, of the Perth Arena as the roof is raised. This was shot for and broadcast on a local TV news station. To take the photos, I used a home-made intervalometer, built using a Picaxe 08M microcontroller.

  • Using Cactus V4 wireless flash triggers as a wireless camera shutter trigger

    I briefly searched the internets, but did not see that this had been discussed before. It turns out that you can use a Cactus V4 (and maybe V2) flash trigger as a wireless shutter trigger. In other words, you can remotely trigger you camera’s shutter from afar! Triggering the camera is as simple as pressing…

  • New lights

    I bought a set of Bowens 400 W/s monoblocs from PRA – I was so keen to test them out, I took them to a party and forced everyone to do cheesey faces : The kit came with two biggish softboxes, which I really prefer over umbrellas, especially for portraits.

  • DIY super lapel mic

    I’m doing a project which requires a lapel mic be used to record voice alongside video on my Pentax K7, while the camera is some distance away. The project’s budget doesn’t stretch to actually buying anything – let alone using a dedicated sound recorder – so I modified a cheap little electret condenser mic, which…

  • Camera Recycle Project

    Camera Recycle Project is an initiative which aims to put cameras in the hands of socially disengaged or disadvantaged kids. I’ve been involved in it – in a few different ways – almost since its inception. It’s really taking off now, but still needs donations of equipment or money. I’ve done a quick logo, which…

  • Max Dellaway – Pentax Repair

    I had some Pentax bits and pieces in need of repair; the go-to man in Perth is Max Dellaway. Not only does he know his stuff, he has badass 645N gear too. He was gracious enough to permit me a portrait.

  • For Sale

    I’ve got camera lust so am hoping to offload some gear : Sigma 28-70 f/2.8 DF Pentax Mount An impulse buy from Camera Electronic. Purchased 11/3/10. I already own an 18-55 f/2.8 so this one is redundant – I find the extra 10mm wide more useful than then extra 20mm reach this has. Only used…

  • Negative Photography (digitizing negatives on a DSLR)

    A few months ago I was going on about how I reckoned I could scan negs by just photographing them – anyway, today I finally got around to it and voila:   Dave generously and kindly lent me his 100mm f/2.8 macro to have a look at (I’m looking to buy one) – attached to…

  • Portait using “Brenizer” panoramic method

    I have been experimenting with a technique called the ‘Brenizer  Method’ where a panoramic stitching technique is used with a telephoto lens. The portrait of Nick was taken by stitching together about eight photos, taken on a Revuenon 135mm manual focus f/2.8 prime lens. Each image is ~6MP, 16bit RAW so the image is insanely…
