Kingdom Hearts Themed Picnic

One of the friends I know through Manifest needed a theme for an assignment for her Food Technology course. She chose to cater for a Kingdom Hearts (a Disney/Square video game) themed picnic. I came along to take photos of the food and my friends, and then help eat some of the food as well. It was yum! :)

This was also the first time I got to experiment with my new photography gear, two extra flashes, new wireless triggers and a battery grip.

You can see the rest of the photos from this shoot in my gallery.

An afternoon with Nicole, Pam, Emily and Daniel

I was invited to visit some friends last weekend. Nicole and Emily, who I know through the Melbourne Anime Festival, moved in with a friend of theirs, Daniel, into a share house a couple of months ago. This weekend, their friend and mine from the country, Pam was visiting. This was the perfect opportunity to catch up with them all.

Clockwise from back: Nicole, Pam, Daniel and Emily

I won’t comment on the state of their house, but we had a lot of fun talking about anime and catching up. Fortunately for me, they guys are not only all very photogenic, they’re also willing to put up with me always taking photos of them. So we headed down to a local park for some lunch and some fun flash photos, allowing me to practice my on-location flash photography. Afterwards, we headed back to their place and took a few more photos lounging around on one of their beds. (And special guest Akito the cat)

These guys are so much fun! Thanks Nic, Pam, Em and Shad (Daniel)!

Went down to Chelsea beach this afternoon with a bunch of friends I know from Manifest (The Melbourne Anime Festival). Much fun was had by all:

As the sun went down, I experimented with my flash/ambient light portrait techniques:

But after dark was when I really started to have fun with the camera. I put the flash high on a stand to my left, pointed to a spot on the sand and told one of the guys to jump. Pretty soon we got some cool photos and everyone wanted to see on the back of the camera. This of course inspired everyone else to have a go, and the results were some really funky photos. The first one below is one of my most popular Flickr photos ever, with about 750 views at the time of writing this! Thanks guys for posing for me, it was great fun!
