Can't see the forest for the trees

Do you ever find you have an image in your head that you want to create and when you're creating the image you end up with something completely different? Whether it is better or not, is up to you at the end of the day. But its the something different that is the important part.

I drove to this spot (which is
photographed to death) with the idea of doing the typical shot. Shoot down the road with a telephoto lens and enjoy the beautiful autumn colours and converging lines.

My two favourite shots actually came from my wide angle lens. One of which was taken on my back, looking up at the tree from its base. I wasn't planning on that while driving to the location!

Thirsty firsty

Well this is the first post for my new blog. It has to start somewhere, so why not make it a tasty one. The idea of this blog is to show some recent work and to also provide a few insights into how it was created. Now onto the matter at hand...

These drinks were shot in-between-meals using a shoot through umbrella camera right (580ex II) slightly behind and above the glasses. I also used a large reflector close, camera left and a few black cards to add some shape to the glasses.

580ex on the background. (Table cloth draped over a pin up board, which in hindsight didn't really light the background as well as I would have hoped).

The second image (mmm, prawns) was shot using a fairly similar set up, with the umbrella higher and shooting straight down onto the meal. With white cards around the front of the plate for fill. Enjoy!
