The Photo Journey

Easter has arrived once again and I have seen some great shots over on flickr marking the occasion. I have been trying to think of the perfect Easter themed strobist shot when I noticed the Easter Raffle being held at my work. It was a massive basket full of chocolate. I had an idea for a shot but I had to win the basket first. So I bought my 3 tickets and on the day of the draw told everyone to come along to morning tea and see me win. I was rather cocky about it all. Sure enough the winning ticket was mine. I double fisted the sky like an F1 driver who had just won the championship. Just goes to show that as long as you believe in something enough you can make it happen.

Its been a crazy month of strobist shots for February as part of my 365 Photo Journey. I had set myself the task of primarily shooting off camera flash photos. I covered a fair few areas and also managed to fit in a on location fashion shoot. Blog on that whole thing in the coming weeks. I also managed to crank out a week of Star Wars shots and have a new video tutorial post on how to create a Jedi Lightsaber.

Hope you enjoy the slide-show  of images below. Bring on March.

Slide show.

I have been getting lots of comments on my recent Star Wars Strobist Themed week about how I do my lightsabers. So today I want to share with you my technique.

Yes I was going to post weekly my results of my 365 photo journey, but I have been so busy (and slack) in updating the blog. So this post is in review of month 1. I will try and keep a weekly or at least fortnightly review post.

This shot is one of my person favourites of the month. Its actually my first photo of the year to make Flickr Explore (#71).

Whilst camping at the Gibraltar Range National Park in NSW, we manager to grab this shot 30 minutes into the new year with some glow sticks. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s that time of the year again to revise my 2009 goals and come up with some for 2010.

In 2009 I completed 4.5 of my 7 goals. This year I have 8 goals to complete.

I hope that everyone has had a great Christmas and that they have been enjoying some time off with their families.

Well the year is nearly over and its time to announce that in 2010 I will be doing a 365 day photo project. Whats a 365 project I hear you say. Well basically the idea is to take at least 1 photo every day of 2010. Some people limit themselves to Self Portraits, black and whites or strobist style shots. I won’t be limiting myself like this however. I want to in the next year take more landscapes, portraits and strobist shots.

I will uploaded the photos as close as possible to daily to my flickr stream and once a week blog about my weeks photos here. There are are numerous groups on flickr that are dedicated to these projects.

• Project 365
• 365: The 2010 edition

The success rates with these projects isn’t particularly high. Hopefully this blog can keep me honest and motivated.

All the best to everyone for the year ahead.
