North One – Subiaco and Youth Ballet WA

This shoot would have to be the most challenging this month, an empty block of land in Subiaco a piece of machinery and Ballet Dancers. I was hoping for overcast conditions but blue skies and bright sun was what I had to work with.  Two Prophoto lights with modelling dishes certainly made the shoot possible…

Peta - HaHa…yes the white costumes was definitely a challenge with the bright sunshine. The girls were great as they had to look directly into the sun.

Stuart - Sounds like tough conditions -especially with white costumes and a white digger. Pics looks great. (Obviously your client has been looking at your blog and realised you’re the “go to” photog for heavy earth moving equipment pictures …)

WA HEALTH CONFERENCE 2011

WA Health Conference took place on 29-30 November at the Burswood Entertainment Complex. Keynote speaker Professor Fiona Stanley gave a presentation on Partnerships for Better Health. The Nikon D3S worked well in the low light so I was able to use natural light for the entire event and not interrupt speakers with a flash.

QUEENSTOWN NEW ZEALAND

What a great place Queenstown is, I was lucky enough to get 6 days in Queenstown last month.  I couldn’t get over the fact that it didn’t get dark until around 9:30 so it was great to be able to go out and walk around and eat late.  The weather closed in for a few…

Stuart - I’m sure you wouldn’t have had any issues if you were using a Canon…

Peta - Thanks Stuart, Queenstown is such a pretty place with lots of photographic opportunities. Camera played up on the trip so didn’t get as much as I would have liked but I am sure I will head back there in the near future.

Stuart Westmore - Great shots, Peta. My fav is the Evening Light pic, but they’re all excellent. Queenstown is a great spot.

Peta - Thanks Ian. I have only been to NZ in winter so it was nice to see it in spring.

Peta - Thanks Sandy.
I can’t imagine what only two hours of sunlight must be like. Look forward to more posts.

Ian Wiese - The light in these shots is amazing!

Sandy@Shots - The ‘walk in a forest’ shot does it for me, and as always, love the aerial stuff. It’s funny you saying it doesn’t get dark until 9.30pm…sounds great! We’re getting about 2 hours of daylight here in Norway and we never actually see the sun as it doesn’t even peak over the horizon….it has ‘long service leave’ until January! Light-ish at 10.30am….dark again at 12.30pm. Soak up some sunshime for me :-)
