Nearing the end of another proofing session tonight and I came across this location shot. Su must surely have been wondering what I was doing so far away with a loooooong lens. But I wanted her in sharp focus an the background to be somewhat blurred out.
Location for these was the small hidden “Scented Gardens” in Sir James Mitchell Park down on the South Perth foreshore. Turned out a fabulous place given that the time was around 1pm and the sky was definitely allllll blue. Light was soft and shaded inside this area.

Su is such a beautiful person. No wonder Jonathan fell for her. I don’t often have the opportunity to use a clear white wall at a bride’s home. So when one presented I had to take a few shots,… or more. And you know, when midnight rolled around she was still fabulously full of life. You’ll see more of this wedding in weeks to come.

Kristy loves horses. So what could be more appropriate than a restored vintage horse carriage inside of El Caballo Resort. There’s something romantic about the mix of a bride on this mode of transport. Stunning result even if I say so myself.
Last night I was too tired to do much work so I took time out from proofing files to try different ideas with this one. It just wasn’t working for me til I grabbed hold of the background and literally pulled it right back to darken it.
I loved the result; so it’s todays pic.

Ok it’s been quite a hiatus for me. But I’m back and blogging again.
After constant computer battles and then getting a new one only to have it fall over a couple of times I got heaps behind in processing shoots. So this weekend I decided it’s time.
Time to get blogging.
Time to show some of the fabulous people I’ve been photographing.
Time to enable people to see their pics online as quickly as I take them.
Time to not let busyness overule fun.
So first up a quick promo for my church’s SuperStar 2009 event – where the Kid’s Church young people practice and practice and practice just to show that Aussie Young People have talent.
The photo’s are from last years event but put in a short promo video. And a tip – if you, like me, detest videos stop start stop start process, then just after you click go pause it and let it continue to download first before hitting play again. that way you get to see it in one hit This promo is 1 1/2 minutes long.
catch you later.

After a couple of weeks getting the raid mirror image to work my computer comes home tomorrow. Finally I can get back to work. I just didn’t realise how slow my old admin computer had become 
So stay tuned for heaps of blogs.

I was [was being the operative word!] right on schedule to post some pics of Kristy & Joe’s wedding – but 30th December my new photo processing computer’s raid decided to fall apart. By the look of it the main hard-drive has hit the dust. Fortunately all the photos and associated work is safe from both the Raid Mirror drive and my other back-ups. Unfortunately I’m not skilled enough to deal with that issue so Monday it goes in for some work and probably another hard drive. Just unlucky, I guess, to have a drive fail so early.
Come back Sunday for some Christmas day photos and a little surprise for my daughters who are currently globe trotting in the northern hemisphere. And the wedding pics will appear within a day of me getting it back – hopefully before the week is out!

El Caballo Resort just out of Perth is the home to the majestic Andalusian dancing horses and some fabulous Spanish-style buildings. It was also the choice for Kristy & Joe to have their wedding reception.
These two photos of our beautiful bride just before leaving for the Wedding Ceremony at the Mundaring Uniting Church are a couple of precursors for some blogging of that fabulous event. Proofing is almost complete for them so I’ll put up a photoshow of their wedding before this year is out. Check back by New Years Eve and it should be here.

Well I’m still playing around with Animoto photoshows. It’ll take me a bit of experimentation to get it right. Also I’ve noticed that the links to the shows do slow down the process of the loading the blog. Therefore, in a real time test, I’ve put it under the read more button
First another pic of Joel and then the show
so just click on the read more button to view it.

So after my last post with a 30 second freebie I have signed up with Animoto for 3 months to see if it is a real goer for my part time photography business.
Tonight I grabbed about 60+ random photos from Felicity and Brant’s wedding and uploaded them into
Animoto.com and selected some music. That didn’t take long. Then I hit the
Make Video button and off it went for about 15 or 20 minutes and voila – a new vid ready to download. It was that simple. Writing this post took me longer,…. no kidding!
Now I know a bit of practice will go a long way to getting it all right but I reckon for a first go this is not too shabby.
So why not put in a bit of practice before showing it to the world. Because I have had heaps of people interested in seeing what the level of difficulty is. I don’t even know if it will run easily on peoples PC’s. So if you have a look at this,… feel free to drop a comment on whether your computer could handle it. My computer is pretty fast so it should be ok but what about a computer 2 or 3 years old???? Let me know.
And comment on what you think of the Animoto video movements and display – it’s done all automatically.
Ok so have a fabulous Christmas and enjoy heaps of food and lots of memories and hopefully even new friends.

Found a new toy and decided to give it a try. So grabbed a few pics,… too many in fact and only about 1/3 got used. But we live and learn.
Love what Animoto does with the pics. Drop some feedback and tell me what you think of this little concept. It’s a 30 second video that’s done online. My usual photoshows are anything from “quick” 3 minute ones to feature length 15 minute versions.
