Meet the 2010-2011 North Queensland Fury

I have been doing a little work recently for the North Queensland Fury ahead of their start to the 2010-2011 Hyundai A-League season.  Great people to deal with and along with the Townsville Crocodiles that makes two out of three national sporting teams in Townsville that are good to deal with! :-P

Thought I’d share some recent pics I’ve shot for trading cards and their team poster.  Take note though, I had 20 minutes to shoot the 19 players for the trading card photos.  You don’t get a lot of time to muck around in this gig :-)

A different type of Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM demo

Had a bit of spare time to muck around today while shooting a football training session so I thought I’d hook my 5D MkII (with a 16-35) to my monopod with a magic arm to give you an idea of the field of view difference between a 16mm lens on a full frame camera compared to a 400mm lens on a 1.3x crop DSLR (equivalent to 520mm on a full frame camera).
It’s not that exciting but hopefully it’s better than a poke in the eye! :-)  Feel free to check it out in HD by hitting this link or watch the embedded video below.

V8 Supercars charge into Townsville again

Craig Lowndes steers his Holden V8 Supercar around the Townsville track

Yesterday was race one of the 2010 Townsville 400 and Jamie Whincup once again finished first.  I took the opportunity to set the 5D MkII (with 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM) down to shoot a quick demo 1080 24p HD video of the first lap from turn one while I was shooting with the long lens.  Here’s a quick look – feel free to click here to watch in 720p or in the full 1080p res!
