OUT AND ABOUT
March 9, 2010 by Neville · Leave a Comment
It’s not often you get to these places on the Coast and get a sunset like this with no fishermen to worry about. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but they always seem to be in the spot that has the best view or composition. Not yesterday afternoon, I was there all by myself with only a few surfers bobbing up and down, with long exposures I didn’t worry about those guy’s. I used only one lens all afternoon, a Nikkor 20mm set to f 16.5. (Tip: Dont set the lens down to f22 unless you have to, the small diaphragm will degrade the lens performance.) These images were captured in Munmorah State Park at a place called Frazer Beach, I have been here quite a few times and I will continue to go back as there are so many photo opportunities. The only filter used on these two images was a 0.6 grad natural density to hold the sky, the colour was like this.
ZOE.
Before the rain hit I was down at the beach this morning photographing Zoe, for a couple of hours we managed a few looks that as you can see from these two are really quite lovely. These were the only two I managed to finish in just enough time to post here then have something to eat before I head off home. Hope you all have a great weekend. Nev.

Meet Lauren, this is the first image in what is going to be part of her and babies first year in, A Year in the Life Of. This was a gift from her brother Glen, after all that’s what brothers are for to look after their sisters. Over the next year Lauren will be having photographs taken to capture their babies first year, these will then be collected into an A4 coffee table book, making it one very treasured piece of their families history. If your are having your first baby and want to record their first year, give me a call, it will be something you will enjoy for many years.
LOVE AND HORSES

How lucky can I get? Not only do I get the opportunity to photograph some great people, I also get to go and shoot pictures in some great spots. Saturday afternoon I was down at Kenthurst for an E-Shoot of Matthew and Christie who will be getting married in a couple of weeks. Christie does dressage, so there were a few horses around with stables and all the lovely things that go with it plus a great day.
These are just a few images from the shoot there are still a few more to process, but I couldn’t resist showing you this taster.
A LONGING FOR FILM
I’ve been thinking about buying a film camera quite a bit now, you now a nice big one to shoot more landscapes. I love the feel and look of film, there’s an edge to it that seems to be lacking in digital. Don’t get me wrong I love using my Nikons, I love the creative freedom you get out of it. I just want to get simple again, so while I’ve been thinking I have also been looking at some images shot with my Pentax 67, I still have it, just can’t bring myself to sell.
TIM & JODIE ON AN E-SHOOT

This good looking couple are getting married in July, but it was last Saturday that we all headed down to Pearl beach to shoot their engagement shoot. The weather was fantastic, we started about 5PM with the sun coming through the trees then headed off to the beach to get the setting sun. We could not of asked for anything better, even the wind was in our favour.
FARRAH

Another moment in Farrah’s life. She’s teething know so there was plenty of chewing on the fist and dribble’s, not to mention the bouncing up and down.
VARIETY

Having the opportunity to shoot different things keeps me busy and enjoying my job. Friday I was over at Vibrant Concepts for another shoot with Sam. Sam has some exciting things happening soon so she needed a change of pace for her image, I think we pulled it off. Then over the weekend I had to photograph mote trophies, this was fun getting the lights right for the right amount of sparkle. Plus of course I’ve been out and about with my camera capturing some great new landscapes for a future project.
SOLDIERS BEACH
I popped up to Soldiers beach yesterday afternoon. I could see there was something building up in the sky as I drove home from the gallery and thought to myself that looks like it needs to be photographed. So after changing in to something a little cooler I drove up the coast and, when I got there I knew it was going to go off. Within minuets of capturing this image down it came, so it was a mad dash to the car, but I had managed to get some great images.
JAMES AND BELINDA @ MCMASTERS BEACH
February 8, 2010 by Neville · Leave a Comment
As we now all know Saturday was a very wet day, with the whole months rain falling within hours, so you can imagine the problems of getting married on the beach. Well we all had to retreat indoors for James and Belinda’s day. Just because of a little problem like water doesn’t mean we cant capture some lovely romantic images, that’s what we managed to get down on McMasters Beach, we did manage a few beach shot’s in between downpours though.
The weather was like this.
