Taking chances

Posted by Dominic Fri, 05 Oct 2007 18:20:00 GMT

One of the things I’ve always wanted to do, was to make money off my photography in some form or another.

So this week was spent organizing all that was neccesary to start putting up images on photoshelter.com.

I realise there’s not much up there now, but hopefully the selection will grow as I comb through my 6000+ photos on my laptop.

So here’s to being entrepreneurial.

Cheers.

I rearranged my living room today.

I did this:

Umbrella Specular setup shot

Then I did a lot of this:

All in an effort to get this: 320 to go / Umbrella Specular

Why can't people do real smiles?

Posted by Dominic Wed, 25 Jul 2007 15:00:00 GMT

… especially when shooting portraits?

I’ve been viewing lots of portrait photographs online lately, and have come across far too many of “I’m smiling, but I really haven’t put my heart into it.” smiles.

I guess one of a photographers greatest tricks, is getting people to open up and be REAL around the camera.. For some people, it comes naturally - but for others… oh, the horror of the unnatural grin plastered on their face makes my eyes hurt.

Being a photographer myself, I don’t have any answers - but I read some tricks somewhere that should help.

I’ll let you know how it goes. :)

I told you..

Posted by Dominic Sat, 07 Jul 2007 06:09:00 GMT



.. that I’d be taking some pictures. I just finished downloading some-100 shots off both my cameras, including some video footage I’ll have to figure some way to upload.

Enjoy.

Photography update

Posted by Dominic Fri, 06 Jul 2007 15:59:00 GMT

As I mentioned here, I’ve been wanting to revive my photographical muse from her sad demise a number of months ago.

Well, I have… sort of. I’ve taken pictures - now it’s a matter of post-processing them (or not), and putting them online.

Look forward to an update somewhere, sometime soon.

Photography and Lighting

Posted by Dominic Thu, 14 Jun 2007 05:20:00 GMT

The Strobist blog is currently doing the “Lighting 102” semi-course/follow-at-your-own-speed-and-learn-something.

For those of you who know me, you might/should know that I am fairly interested in photography, but lately for whatever reason, it’s fallen on the back burner more than it should.

I fully intend to follow along with the Lighting 102 “class” and to participate in the assignments and lessons, but I might need a nudge or two from you, dear readers, to make sure I stay on track and shoot more than I’m currently doing.

The End.
