Before I hacked my hair off with a blunt pair of scissors.

A little about my photography:
I like my colour photos to be very colourful. I like saturation. I like strong contrasts. I like to experiment. I don't believe in having a signature style - I'd prefer to keep trying new things.

The stuff I use:
- Nikon D300
- Nikon D50
- Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR
- Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
- Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
- Nikkor Micro 105mm f/4
- Manfrotto 055XPROB tripod w/ 32RCC ball head
- Hoya filters of various descriptions

Devious Info

  • Current Residence: Sydney, Australia
  • Tools of the Trade: Nikon D300, Nikkor 18-200mm, Tokina 11-16mm, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8

The Ultimate Photography Hero - it's ready to go!

Mon Dec 14, 2009, 7:25 PM
Ok, I've got this ball rolling.

If you're interested in partaking in my aforementioned AWESOME PHOTO COMP, click here and join this group: [link]

Also - tell all of your friends! I'm pretty invested in this idea, I think it's totally awesome (if I do say so myself), and I think it'd be pretty radical if we could get heaps of photographers from all over the world to play along.

An update: I've figured out how groups work now and have therefore uploaded all of the rules and whatnot. I've also put up a final list of the challenges - there have been a few changes.

The Challenges
1. Capture an event through a photo-journalist's eyes.
2. Portray a unique aspect of yourself through self-portraiture.
3. Capture the human form.
4. Plumb the depths of human imagination through surreal photography.
5. Shoot a wild animal (with a camera, please.)
6. Capture a stunning example of a natural landscape.
7. Capture an equally stunning example of the man-made landscape.
8. Explore colour, shapes, patterns and/or light through abstract photography.
9. Compose a terribly frightening photograph.
10. Tell a story through a single shot.
11. Drag yourself out of bed and shoot a sunrise.
12. Capture an object through a product photographer's eyes.

Some of those aren't completely self-explanatory but there's more detail over on the page.

Finally - to everyone who has mentioned that they'd like to donate a prize, thankyou. I'll be in touch shortly to confirm and then I'll add you as a contributer to the group.

I’ll pare your screeching fingernails
You won’t chalk hopscotch through my brain anymore
I’ll hound the fog out of your bones
Slurp the hemlock off your tongue.

:heart: Lovely jubley.
