I have used a very cheap set of twin halogen lights for this photograph. Total cost: AUD $25 from a local hardware shop The lights output 2×250W and produced enough light for a relatively slow exposure at 1/25 of second but with a good light falloff for a dramatic picture.
This photo was taken using Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 lens, which really shines in these conditions. Model: my daughter Michelle.
My daughter Michelle at our favourite beach. The access to the wild part of the beach leads through endless sandstone formations, which are fantastic to photograph by themselves or as a backdrop to a casual portrait like this.
Photograph taken with Canon 30D, Tokina 12-24 f/4 and Canon 580EX Speedlite.
My son, Sebastian, has found shark’s egg. They are very oddly shaped, looking like a very big twisted macaroni. This photograph has been taken at Pearl Beach late at night using Tokina 12-24 f/4 lens and Canon 580EX Speedlite.
I’ve reworked the website’s template to accommodate few new features. From the point of the viewer I am using now much bigger images on the home page to give a better representation for my photography. This was the most requested feature by many visitors to my photo blog.
Also there are some major visual changes such as fluid layout allowing for the page to stretch, depending on your monitor resolution. In addition there are some nice graphical touches to the album view. I hope you like the new look.
