Last month I shot the Melbourne Victory women’s team over 3 sessions. You can check them out here: And here’s a behind the scenes setup shot of the 3-lights setup in a small changing room at their training ground:
What a mouthful. This post is about how to connect cameras wirelessly to an iPad so images can be edited and captioned, and uploaded live to services on the Internet live during an event. For most agency and wire service photographers, the typical setup is to ingest images from their cameras’ memory cards via a […]
2012 has been an amazing year for photographers. We’ve seen the Nikon D800 and D600, the Sony RX1, the Canon 1Dx and the Nikon D4 at the start of the year. Then there was the Leica M, M Monochrome, the Nikon 1 series and more 4/3rds cameras that I can mention. But, the camera that […]
Warm up at soccer matches aren’t the most interesting of things to photograph. Here’s a go at doing something creative. Some slow shutter speed zoom and pan blurs:
Photos from the first home round for the Melbourne Victory in the W-League competition. More photos on MFootball.
Melbourne Victory just posted this on YouTube:
A selection of images from this season opener. Live images worked well with images used by @gomvfc and @melbfootball – More images on MFootball and Melbourne Victory.
We are firmly in the Twitter and Facebook era. Live blogging and tweeting has been with us for 2-3 years and it’s now an expected method for broadcasting a live event if it’s not shown live on TV. The challenge for photographers is how to provide images to live tweeters and bloggers in a timely […]
Here’s a summary of articles that google throws up. In summary. The person who posted the information, and anyone else needs permission to republish it outside Twitter: BBC – The Editors: Use of photographs from social media in our output Court Rules Twitter Photos Are Not Copyright Free | About the Image News can’t use […]
What are ACL? It’s a bit of magic that allows files to be set with certain permissions when they are created. Why’s that important? Well, it’s got to do with a Nikon D4, Lightroom, SFTP and tethered shooting. More to come, but here’s a bit about ACL: 10.4: Make a better Shared folder using ACLs […]
You can’t always shoot with a tilt-shift lens but you can now create the effect pretty convincingly with Photoshop CS6. Here are a few photos from last year with the effect applied:
UPDATE: Finally got this working – it was down to a setting in CrushFTP that was banning the static IP. I have no idea why the IP was banned but removing this config setting cleared everything up. UPDATE2: I’ve also ditched CrushFTP and am using the built in Mac OSX SFTP server. Full details on […]
Ever since I upgraded the video card to an ATI on the Windows Media Center box an error has popped up on every reboot. Something about “kdbsync.exe reporting a missing file: opencl.dll” There are lots of posts all over the net about finding it in a driver repository directory through to downloading it from various […]
My upgrade to the next generation of operating system for Macs has been uneventful, which is what you want to hear for major software upgrades. All of my major photo and general software is working without a hitch: Lightroom 4, Photoshop CS6, Office 2011, Twitter clients, Filemaker, and Moneydance. The only exception is Hotspot Shield, […]
It’s pre-season for the A-League and Melbourne Victory have started their training matches. These matches are at the grounds of semi-professional teams from the Victorian Premier League. The grounds are lit well enough for playing but for photography it’s a challenge. To stop the motion it’s best to shoot at 1/000th of a second. At […]
International rugby doesn’t come to Melbourne very often, but it’s good when it does! More photos here.
Good to shoot some action. Lots of options shooting rugby – tight, loose and everything else in between. More here.
Spent the day at a Joe McNally Capture the Light workshop on his Australian tour. Joe is a great presenter, running through lots of Nikon camera settings, speed lights and modifiers. I thought 20 people was a bit too many for Joe to spend any real time with. But enjoyable day nevertheless. Here are a […]
Back to Etihad stadium to cover the Greek football powerhouse Olympiakos in an exhibition match against Melbourne Victory. Photos here. And, some shots from the Socceroos earlier this year against Saudi Arabia on a rainy night. Photos here.
I haven’t shot a coffee competition for a couple of years. The Detpak Australian Barista Championship is back in Melbourne after a few years in Queensland, so here are images of the 6 finalists competing. All the photos here on Flickr. High res images will be uploaded later.
Photo: Lunch at Balthazar, New York. Update: Here are 7 restaurants I’ve been to that are on the 2012 World Top 50 restaurants: Per Se (6), Dinner (9), The Fat Duck (13), The Ledbury (14), Le Bernardin (19), The French Laundry (43), Bras (47) — After part 1, here’s the summary of dining experiences in […]
It’s claimed to be the “WORLD’S FASTEST 13′ MACBOOK PRO”. Even if it’s not, it looks great and it’ll be blazing fast:
Here’s a TV screen grab of where my photos on Day 5 were taken from. It’s a stairwell that was blocked off and not used for the event. That’s yours truly highlighted below. There was another photographer and I in there for the evening session:
Winners are grinners on the last session of the UCI Track World Champs. But there were crashes too. More photos in my archive.
