Apologies for not blogging regularly, but will make a much bigger effort from this moment onwards. Recently I had the pleasure of doing the pre-wedding shoot for the gorgeous Kate & James a perfectly matched couple in every way.
Unfortunately for them they were my guinea pigs somewhat as I took the opportunity (and advantage of the fact that Kate is a good friend) to try out new equipment that I'd recently accuired
It was a blue sky blaring sun of a day (cold in the shadows mind) so they had to be very patient while I grappled with back-lighting, fill-in flash, lens flare on top of the new gear I was trying out.
They were great to work with and were quite happy to do countless takes of the shots I set up and managed to laugh their way through a lot of the session which bodes well for the actual wedding day.
For the techies that may read this the equipment I was trying out was;
Canon 1D mk iv;
Canon EF 45mm f2.8 Tilt-shift;
Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 is mk ii; and a borrowed
Canon 5D mk ii
This week: Erroll despite owning a 'Kindle' bought two hard back novels; David Mitchell's Black Swan Green and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet as they were both considerably cheaper than their electronic version... that can't be right.
He also watched the brilliant French prison movie A Prophet and the equally brilliant and dark Australia western The Proposition.
