I had this idea as I watching the TV about 30 mins ago. Can’t find anything like it so a quick Photoshop drawing and a submission to Quirky was made.
My guess is this would be the best gift for every photographer and would be the centre piece of any table setting.
If you like the Photo Jug and want to see one in your home then please vote for the idea at the following link to ensure it gets made.
Recently I have been flat out with social media, consultancy work, weddings, camera courses, managing a camera store and working on my secret product so I haven’t had a chance to catch up with the blog. To all the fans…I am hoping to have some images up early next week so keep an eye out.
Until then.
Happy Shooting.
Hi All,
I would like to inform you all as of today, 3rd November 2011 (my birthday) my position at Fujifilm as Area Business Manager WA has been made redundant. The decision was made in light of the company’s decision to restructure operations. Stuart McCracken (Area Business Manager WA southern region) has also been made redundant and will finish today.
Given this opportunity I would like to thank each and every one of you for the friendship and business relationships that have developed and grown since I started at Fujifilm. I have known many of you from previous positions in the industry and would sincerely like to thank everyone who has got me to this point in my career.
If you would like to keep in touch with what I am up to in the coming months you can always check out my blog: http://www.leighdiprosephotography.wordpress.com
Drop me a line if you want to give me a job!
I encourage you all to follow your passion, no matter what it is.
Thanks again and all the best for the future.

Also remember not long now for the 2011 WA Photographer and Bloggers Get Together!!!
See you all soon :)
It is official. The invite has gone WA wide!!
There will be some photographers coming from around the state including Geraldton and Albany so make sure you keep spreading the word about this free event. There is only 9 days to go!
Just to clarify -
Spread the word. Repost this on your blog.
Exciting news- there is a new community minded photographers blog/site called “Feed Photographer”
The site has been designed as a one stop shop so you can see all you’re favorite photographers latest posts on the one page!
The two latest posts from every photographer are displayed on the Feed Photographer site via their own RSS feed.
All you will need to do is simply visit this site to see who has been posting, click on the photographers post and you will be redirected to the photographers page – simple!
If you don’t see yourself on this page please turn on your RSS feed (see wordpress.com help if you don’t know how) and email leighdiprosephotography@yahoo.com.au so I can add you to the feed.
Feed Photographer – “Where Photographers Gather” will be developed over time to include the following features.
1) Google chat – this will be an interactive message board where members of the Feed Photographer group will be able to share what is happening in their part of the world. For example if you are planning a shoot and want to meet up with other members then you would simply tell people about your event on this secure chat room. Also if you are running any workshops this will be great way to spread the word.
2) Links to Photographers sites (blogroll)
3) Social Networking – Facebook, Twitter, linkedin etc
If you have any suggestions on how you could make this site better for everyone please drop me an email and I’ll make your suggestion happen.
My contact details are as follows:

I’m off for a bit of travel this week.
Northam on Thursday
Kalgoorlie on Friday
Wellstead on Saturday
Albany on Sunday
following week off to Rottnest Island…did I mention that I love my job??
I look forward to getting some images and posts up on the blog next week once my hard drive has finished backing up.
Also I want to do a few equiptment posts, PTGui tutorials (Ash from Camera Electronic is hanging out for this one – not long now mate!) and house renovation updates so stay connected and keep in touch.
Until then.
Happy shooting
I encourge you all to participate in Dippa’s back up week. Friday 17th June to 24th June 2011.
This is where you take one week to back up any photos that you have sitting on a hard drive and make a second copy.
So you won’t see any posts from me for about one week.
TRUST ME….this is something you will want to do but never get around to it. Make sure you take the opportunity to participate in Dippa’s back up week by posting the same subject on your blog and saving your precious images.
You can thank me later when your hard drive crashes. hehehe
Just so you all know I’m heading to Geraldton for a couple of days. I’m going to try and photograph an osprey backlight against the setting sun as well as some sunrises & sunsets. Stay tuned!
You will have to wait and see….
Check back for a blog post at 11.59am (WST) today….very exciting!
If you have any questions on how I edited this image just ask.
Happy Shooting (and editing!)
Some exciting news! I finally set up my Crompton lights!
I ordered two Crompton DIY slimline 20w T4 linkable fluorescent lights and have set them up perminatley in my office. For those of you that don’t know I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to colour – even though I am colour blind!
I painted my office walls in Adobe Lightroom colours and now I have set up my 6500K lights! It just means that when I calibrate my monitor with my X-rite eye-0ne calibration device I have perfect ambient lighting at the colour temperature of daylight! Perfect for editing!
I got the paint mixed up to match these Adobe Lightroom colours.
Ahhh…my beautiful lights!
Yasi makes Tropical Cyclone Bianca in WA look like cotton wool. I wouldn't want to be in Queensland right now. My thoughts go out to all the photographers out there wanting a piece of the action... Ask yourself this...is it really worth a photo? Also check out Merv's photos here of the storm that hit Northam in WA last week. Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Queensland Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre TOP PRIORITY TROPICAL CYCLONE ADVICE NUMBER 19 Issued by the Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Issued at 6:59pm EST on Wednesday the 2nd of February 2011 A Cyclone WARNING is current for coastal and island communities from Cape Flattery to Sarina, extending west across the tropical interior to the Northern Territory border. At 7:00 pm EST Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi, Category 5 was estimated to be 150 kilometres east northeast of Innisfail and 175 kilometres east of Cairns and moving west southwest at 29 kilometres per hour. SEVERE TROPICAL CYCLONE YASI IS A LARGE AND VERY POWERFUL TROPICAL CYCLONE AND POSES AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY WITHIN THE WARNING AREA. THE VERY DESTRUCTIVE CORE OF CYCLONE YASI WILL CROSS THE COAST NEAR INNISFAIL CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT, ACCOMPANIED BY A DANGEROUS STORM TIDE SOUTH OF THE CYCLONE CENTRE. Tropical Cyclone Yasi, CATEGORY 5, will continue to move in a west-southwesterly direction and is expected to cross the coast near Innisfail close to midnight. Coastal residents between Cairns and Ayr are specifically warned of an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SEA LEVEL RISE [i.e. storm tide] as the cyclone approaches, crosses the coast and moves inland. The sea is likely to steadily rise up to a level which will be VERY DANGEROUSLY above the normal tide, with EXTREMELY DAMAGING WAVES, STRONG CURRENTS and FLOODING of low-lying areas extending some way inland. The storm tide will persist for many hours after landfall of the cyclone and secondary peaks may occur around high tide on Thursday morning. Higher than normal tides will exceed the high water mark with damaging waves and flooding in low lying areas in remaining warning areas to the south of Ayr. People living in areas likely to be affected by this flooding should take measures to protect their property as much as possible, and be prepared to follow instructions regarding evacuation of the area if advised to do so by authorities. DESTRUCTIVE winds with gusts in excess of 125 km/hr between Port Douglas and Ayr are expected to spread into the eastern tropical interior overnight. VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds with gusts up to 290 km/hr are expected to develop between Cairns and Ingham during the next few hours as the cyclone approaches and crosses the coast near midnight. These VERY DESTRUCTIVE winds will also occur to the north of the cyclone and affect the Atherton Tablelands. Due to the large size of the cyclone, people in the path of the VERY DESTRUCTIVE WINDS are likely to experience these conditions for about 3 to 4 hours. DAMAGING WINDS with gusts to 90 km/hr are occurring in remaining coastal areas between Cape Flattery and Sarina, and are forecast to spread into the tropical interior overnight and west to Mt Isa during Thursday. Winds are forecast to gradually ease about the east coast during Thursday morning as the cyclone moves inland. FLOODING RAINS will develop from Cooktown to Sarina during this evening and then extend inland overnight. People in the path of the very dangerous cyclone should stay calm and remain in a secure shelter, above the expected water level, while the very destructive winds continue. - Do not venture outside if you find yourself in the eye of the cyclone; very destructive winds from a different direction could resume at any time. - Follow the evacuation advice or directions of Police, Emergency Services personnel and local authorities. People in remaining areas between Cape Flattery and Sarina and extending west across the tropical interior to the Northern Territory border, should complete preparations quickly and be prepared to shelter in a safe place. - Boats and outside property should be secured. - For cyclone preparedness and safety advice, visit Queensland's Disaster Management Services website [www.disaster.qld.gov.au] - For emergency assistance call the Queensland State Emergency Service [SES] on 132 500 [for assistance with storm damage, rising flood water, fallen trees on buildings or roof damage]. Details of Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi at 7:00 pm EST: .Centre located near...... 17.2 degrees South 147.4 degrees East .Location accuracy........ within 20 kilometres .Recent movement.......... towards the west southwest at 29 kilometres per hour .Wind gusts near centre... 285 kilometres per hour .Severity category........ 5 .Central pressure......... 930 hectoPascals Please ensure that neighbours have heard and understood this message, particularly new arrivals or those who may not fully understand English. The next advice will be issued by 8:00 pm EST Wednesday 02 February. This warning is also available through TV and Radio Broadcasts; the Bureau's website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 212. The Bureau and the State Emergency Service would appreciate this warning being broadcast regularly.
I will post part 3 – editing the pano in Adobe CS5 after the Christmas break.
If you are a photographer out there remember family is the most important thing so put down that camera and spend some quality time.
Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas
God bless
Leigh
