Takako - Folio Shoot

2011-12-22T19:37:00.001+11:00

There is a piece of empty land where I have walked pass during my lunch time walks and every time I walked passed it, I will remind myself to do a shoot there one day. Well it has been a couple of months since that first thought passed my mind; I've finally ,managed to do a shoot just before Christmas with the help of the lovely Takako. Below are a few images from this shoot. Thanks Takako! : )

I photographed Anne-Catherine and Robert's Wedding back in 2008, how time has fried.

Below are a few images from this session. It was nice to also be able to see Catherine's parents again since Catherine's wedding.

Tahny

I photographed the gorgeous Tahny in June-2011 (http://thatstheshot.blogspot.com/2011/06/model-shoot.html ), at the end of that shoot, we agreed that we will do a beach shoot when the weather gets warmer. Well we couldn't have picked a btter date today as I'd say it would be one of the warmest days this year so far. We started our shoot pretty early at a local beach because we didn't want the temperature to get too hot and the sun above our head during the session. Tahny is such fun and easy to work with. Below are a few images from this session. Thanks Tahny!

Annalese and Chantra's Wedding

2011-11-26T17:44:00.001+11:00

Annalese and Chantra tie their knots at the National Rhododendron Gardens in Olinda up the Dandenongs. There was heavy pour of rain just before the ceremony and caused a bit of concern. However, as soon as Annalese arrived, the rain stopped. It turned out to be a lovely ceremony and the pair just looked so beautiful. They are such beautiful people inside and out. I have a wonderful time photographing their wedding. Below are a few images from the wedding. Thank you for letting me being part of your special day : )

Photo Shoot with Esma

2011-11-19T14:02:00.002+11:00

I first met Esma at a fashion show in March-2011. Since then we have been talking about doing a shoot together. It took us a while to find the right time slot and we finally did it in Nov-2011. It was pouring with rain when I arrived at the location but the rain sort of stopped not long after Esma arrived. We also dropped in to the Yatch Club Hotel at Williamstown to have a juice during a raining period. While we were inside the hotel, I asked the manager of the hotel to see if we can shoot there and she was kind enough to allow us to do so. Many thanks to the Yatch Club Hotel for allowing us to shoot there. Also would like to thank Pina G. for doing the makeup and last but not least - thank you to Esma for being the subject for this shoot. Below are a few images from this shoot:

DIY Lens Baby

2011-06-06T21:28:00.002+10:00

I have been wanting to make a DIY Lens Baby for a while. I found an article on the internet that provides information on how to build it. Actually there are quite a few articles out there on how to build this but the one I've followed on my this project is from this URL

The main material I've used in this project are:
* a Bronica Zenaznon-EII 75mm f2.8 (I got this from ebay)
* a M42 to EOS mount (to fit to my Canon camera body)
* M42 extension tube

* Cable Ties* Car Velocity Joint Boot

The instruction that I have followed has talked about the removing of the focusing ring off the lens. However, the Joint Boot that I've found happened to fit exactly on the end of this lens so I didn't remove the focusing ring off my lens.

I have to cut one end of the Joint Boot to shorten it's lens in order for me to be able to get the lens to a focusable distance.

I use cable ties to secure one end of the Joint Boot to the M42-EOS adapter (to fit my Canon camera)

I trimmed off the extra bit of the cable tie.

The below shows how the finished lens fitted onto my camera.

Below are a few shots taken by this lens on a Canon 5D camera. Manual focus (obviously) and taken in Manual mode. I find the focusing very challenging

Good luck if you wish to attempt this project, it's not that hard. Should you have any query, please feel free to contact me at : Contact@ThatsTheshot.com.au
