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.
This is an actual photograph, not a digital creation or composite image. For these interested in technique the trick here is a long exposure of 1/2 second with flash synchronised to second curtain. This means the whole view is exposed for the whole 1/2 second but the flash only fires as the exposure is being completed giving a ghostly appearance to the kid on the swing. The aperture controls how well exposed the elements will be and how much movement in lapsed time will be captured.
Photo created using Canon 30D, Tokina 12-24 F/4 lens and Canon 580EX Speedlite in E-TTL II mode.
