    One of the last days when the kids were still a bit sick we though we'd get them out of the house and go to Darling Harbour.

    Aiden wanted to go on the tea-cups even though he was still suffering a bit.

    A few weeks ago I was in Melbourne for work.

    On the way back Kim called and said that Aiden had a really high fever (41+ degrees) and that she was going to get him to the hospital because she was afraid that he'd collapse like he did last time.

    I jumped on an earlier flight and went straight to the hospital and spent the night with him. He was really miserable and it took 5 days (fortunately not in the hospital) before we got the fever under control.



    After that Lucas got sick and then Kim as well....what a week!!

    Various play photos

    Here is some photos that I have taken from various places including work.

    They don't really belong anywhere but it is a pity to not share them.

    One day walking from the train station I walked past this pair of sandals under a tree. I don't know the story behind them or the reason why one was taped up.

    Did the owner climb the tree and then vanish? Did he (I assume it was a male) walk away bare feet? Where did he come from (Bata is a big brand in Africa and India)?



    This next one was taken on the train. I was bored and notices this girl with a small swallow tattoo.




    One day I was at Warriewood for a work meeting a dropped past Narrabeen beach (where I used to live). It was a beautiful day to have a play with the panorama function on the iphone.



    Here is another panorama. This time from Town hall in Sydney.

    We had our annual conference there and couldn't resist getting some photos of the beautiful architecture with my phone.





    A couple of weeks ago I went to Melbourne for work. On the way we flew over the Snowy Mountains and I could see the snow there.




    Here is another one from work that I took ages ago. When we all moved to the Campus from the city we were invited to hand our own avatar on this wall (mine is hanging somewhere in the top left hand corner).




    Here is a photo from the campus itself. It is a cool place to work. Just a pity it is so far from the city.

    Here he is working on one of his masterpieces.

    Lucas loves reading books...he can sit and look at books for hours if he is allowed.

    One day at daycare all the other kids were playing loudly in another room and I found him in a separate room sitting quietly sitting in a small cardboard box reading by himself.

    It was Kim's birthday on the weekend.

    In the morning the boys and I woke her up with singing Happy Birthday to her.

    In the evening we had a babysitter so that we could have an evening just the two of us. We went to the Bridge Room restaurant in the city, food was nice!

    Yesterday we decided to do a little excursion to Circular Quay and the Opera house with the boys.

    The both love trains, so we took the train into the city so that they could have the experience.



    It was a cold and windy winters day here in Sydney so standing still for too long was freezing.



    But it was great getting out and also get another family photo.

    Melanie was back for this shoot and in high demand with lots of photographers wanting to photograph her.

    I only had the chance when she was with Sophia at the goods elevator as I didn't want to waste a lot of time at some of the other sets standing in line waiting.



    Here is one of her and Sophia Angeleena.



    And here is a photo someone took of me in action.

    ...and here is Jayden.

    This was taken using a large octabox to the right of the camera.

    A lot of work had to go into the post production of this photo. The background had a lot of creases that had to be evened out and it was a fairly tight image because the background was really narrow. I wanted something a little wider so had to expand the background while retaining all the natural shadows. The shadows that are remaining are all natural and I was so-so as to whether they should be worked on some more but in the end I've decided to leave them as they are.

    Another model at the photo day was Sophia. She is an experienced model and I have seen some of her other work and it is very nice (https://www.facebook.com/sophia.angeleena.1).

    This photo was taken in a goods elevator full of smoke from a smoke machine and then backlit with a bare bulb strobe. The front was lit using a small beauty dish with a sock on it.

    Movement with stroboscopic flash and bodypaint

    One of the sets at the Open day photoshoot was setup with a stroboscopic flash in an octabox to allow capturing movements. The model Bree was covered in a full body silver body paint which looked fantastic.



    We would be 5-6 photographers on the set, but only one person would be in control of the trigger and this person also had control of providing instructions to the model. Sometimes the person would give you a countdown, but more often than not they would just say go and then you would pull the trigger and hope that you captured the 2-3 second sequence of flashes.

    This was especially difficult because it was all about timing, coordinating the movements and then holding the camera really still (A monopod or tripod would have been great).

    What made it especially hard was that the first flash was the strongest followed by a sequence of less powerful flashes. This meant that for some movements you would have to do things in reverse and have the model walk backwards to get what you were after (really hard to look natural). At the same time you would also have to consider the direction of light to make sure that the movements were properly lit.



    I had very few usable photos from this session even though I spent a fair bit of time trying to get it right. These are some of the ones I did get.

    For the first time ever did I try some urban style photos with a model named Jamie.

    I both did some studio lit shots but also some natural light shots...all good fun.

    I had the pleasure of photographing Pia again during this shoot. Initially I didn't recognise her because she wasn't wearing the same amount of makeup and she said that she didn't participate in the last shoot.

    Once I showed her the photo I took last time of her she said 'Wow, was it you who took that. It is in my portfolio!'...love it when people love my work and it is actually being used.

    It was nice getting out again after that long time even though it was very windy and freezing.
