After work earlier in the week I drove down to Safety Bay to photograph my Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo Limited Edition.
I’m not really a car sort of guy so don’t ask me what the specs are….put it this way I bought this car after watching a YouTube video. The guy at the dealership had the easiest sale ever!
Photographed with the Canon EOS 1D MK IV
Styled and edited to the soundtrack of Chocolat
Until Next Time – Happy Shooting.
Everything has a beginning right?….it can only grow and get better from here!
Join me for the first official cameraED YouTube video as I travel out to Port Gregory located in Western Australia to photograph a landscape scene.
cameraED will be growing every day into a site that will be available for every budding photographer out there, professional or beginner. So sit back and enjoy the weekly videos all about photography!
Below is the final image I managed to capture before the battery died again!
Canon EOS 1D MK IV – ISO 50 – 40mm – f5.6 – 0.5 sec
The people in their cars behind me must have thought I had a rubber neck as I consistently moved my head in every direction panning the skies for Osprey followed by more horizontal pans looking across the lifeless earth for the perfect landscape composition. I had been on the lookout for the momentous shot for some time and now the light was beginning to turn a golden hue. Time was running out.
I had frequented this road before. The long open road that produced a distant hopeful shimmer. We’ve all been there only to find the road continues on into an endless journey, and my journey had taken me to the beautiful Coral Coast in Western Australia. Bustling along my eyes rested upon a majestic pink lake nestled alongside the road. The wheels were spinning in full rotational motion as some of the scene passed, a quick stomp applied by my feet applied a relieved halting pressure to the brakes – I simply had to capture the developing scene before me.
The sound of the car door was behind me as I flurried into position. Jostling tripod and camera into some sort of balancing act I clicked the X Pro 1 into a starting position, the camera proceeded to perform with some sort of magic. The focus arrived as the composition fell perfectly into place – this was going to be one for the pool room.
I had been waiting for this sort of scene since the sun experience deja vu from the day before. The atmosphere was filled with silence as I quietly navigated the quick mode on the back of the cold metal camera body. Fingers easily falling upon the self timer mode I rested knowing the picture would be perfect. One click of the shutter button had confirmed my belief. My journey was complete.

Let me start by saying this really isn’t a review on the Olympus E-P3….just a whole lot of messing around trying to be creative.
I didn’t want to list the features in point form so I put a little video together for you all to have a look at. Sorry for the delay but I have been extremely busy…does anyone want a PA job????
The Olympus also features 10 Art Filters: Diorama, Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia and Dramatic Tone.
Some of the images that made it into my short video were taken at the Boat Shed Markets in Albany, Western Australia:
45mm, ISO 200, 1/80 sec, f1.8
45mm, ISO 200, 1/125 sec, f2.0
45mm, ISO 200, 1/160 sec, f2.2
45mm, ISO 200, 1/160 sec, f2.5
45mm, ISO 200, 1/800 sec, f5.0
45mm, ISO 200, 1/800 sec, f5.0
45mm, ISO 200, 1/800 sec, f5.0
