TBA

Today's photo is on film so I will scan it in in a week or two when I get the film developed and post it then.
I took three photos, of my bub sitting under a tree, one where the dog got in too :D Black and white film.
I know I will forget so the settings were:
ISO 400
Program: Manual
Aperture: f3.5
Shutter: 1/1000 (1st & 2nd), 1/500 (3rd) - I suspect the first two will be over-exposed, I wish I had a light meter!
Focal length: About 55mm

Grainy as hell but I love it.

Snake on Denim

Camera: Canon 50D (someone else's camera)
Program: Manual
ISO: 100
Aperture: f9.0
Shutter: 1/125
Focal length: 47mm
Studio flash



I am not usually a fan of selective colour but I liked the shots from this session in black and white, but the snake's colour was just amazing so didn't want to not see that.
This was taken with a studio on the left side. I added a graduated filter over on the left of the image to decrease the exposure as the fingers and hand were a bit too bright.

Chocolatey black and white conversion in Lightroom.

I cropped this square as I thought it suited it better, and converted it to black and white. I think it's interesting how you can see the debris lines from the crater.
It's probably the worst moon shot I've ever seen but I'll keep at it.

Camera: E-3 (Dad's camera)
Program: Aperture priority
ISO: 800
Aperture: f4.0
Shutter: 1/30 (I must have a steadier hand than I thought)
Focal length: 35mm
No flash


Converted to black and white in Lightroom - it's quite shadowy and contrasty for a baby shot but I like it :)

My sister-in-law has these beautiful photos on her wall of her babies holding their toes like this and I wanted to copy! My first two never held their toes so when she started doing it I grabbed the camera quick smart :D The flash wasn't charged however and it was a very dark and rainy day so I had to crank up the ISO and even then the shutter speed was very slow. So not very sharp.

Newborn photo shoot today. I had sooooo many favourites so hard to pick which should be my photo for today but I do like this one.
I love the DOF, love the contrast. Love the tattoos and the baby... love the juxtaposition.
Converted to black and white in Lightroom and made the blacks 'blacker' to get a good contrast without blowing out the lighter elements.
Used an external flash bounced off the ceiling, and I am having major problems with shutter speed with flash attached. I'm getting a really slow shutter speed which means although it's not toooo bad because the flash is 'freezing' the capture, the images aren't as sharp as they should be. Hrmph.

Camera: E-1 - 14-54mm
Program: Aperture Priority
ISO: 100
Aperture: f5.6 (this was by accident, I'd hit the wrong dial - I'd wanted a shallower DOF)
Shutter: 1/100
Focal length: 54mm
Bounce flash



Jemima and I had a little photo shoot. Usually I shoot black and white on black background only, but I decided to try for something high-key this time. Not sure if it's strictly high-key, but I like it :)

Today's photo was soooo hard to pic. Photo shoot with a gorgeous little guy today and they were all so brilliant. The light was fantastic so the shots were beautifully bright and vibrant, the colours were great, but this black and white shot is my fave I think. He looks so cheeky!
