It's that time again - New gear time!

Anyone that follows this blog will remember earlier this year I posted a sort of New Year’s resolution in terms of my photography. In that post I had a plan for the camera gear I was aiming for…. Well that post can be completely ignored and here’s why:

Not so long ago an online company called Studio22 was holding a competition to win a full frame camera. All you had to do to enter was make a purchase from their shop, and post your invoice number to their Facebook page. Fast forward a bit to July the 10^th , and I get a call from Kurt (the owner) saying I’m a finalist in the draw, Shortly after I had won.

So here it is, my new 6D body:

Rosco Strobist flash gels - The review

As mentioned in my previous post  I recently go myself a set of the awesome and amazing Strobist gel packs.  My reason for getting a pack, well who doesn't want to capture images like David Hobby ?

Whats Happening

Yet again I have been overly busy with all sorts of things lately (read work). However that hasn't stopped me from taking a few shots. Those who do follow me on Flickr, or even those that just glance over my stream every once in a while, will know that I have been uploading a few photos every so often. Posting to a blog takes time (effort, blood, sweat, tears... you get the idea) and Flickr is sometimes just quicker. However I think I need to get into the habit of coming over here and posting a few shots a bit more often!

Falling (fake) Rose and lighting set-up

I recently had an idea of dropping a rose with water droplets on it after hearing about one of the photo competitions for this month.

Without further ado here is one of my better test shots:

These cheap and effective little triggers should be starting to take over from the RF-602, but more on that later.

The new year ahead - 2013

First off: Happy new year to all! we all happen to still be here (well most of us in fact  and we probably will be for the next couple of years to come. Lets wait and see what the next world Apocalypse idea will be.

Enough about the world! Time for what you are really here about - Photography!
I have been slacking slightly over the past few months and havn't really posted anything up here. I have thought about it, I just never got around to it. I am going to change that over the next few days.
