F16 Falcons shot from Castle Hill, Townsville, Australia
Posted by Cameron in News, Newspaper, Photography, Video on September 27th, 2009
Ventured down to take a look at F16 Falcons from the USAF Thunderbirds complete their final practice before taking part in an airshow in the northern Australian city of Townsville. It would have been superb if not for a massive dust storm that has swept across eastern Australia over the past 5 days. Visibility was very limited and it really spoiled the opportunity for some cracking photos. Anyway, was still good fun, worth the effort. Anyway, knocked up this quick video to give you an idea of what we saw. You can either view here or click the blue title at the top of the video to view in 1280×720 HD on the Vimeo.com site.

Thunderbirds are go!
The United States Air Force Thunderbirds flew their F16 Falcons into Townsville, Australia today ahead of a big airshow planned for the weekend. I was there to shoot them for ‘Uncle Rupert’ and took the opportunity to grab a bit of HD Video as well. Probably a good thing cause it made me realise how urgently I need a fluid head tripod! Trying to manhandle a 5DMkII with a 400 f2.8L IS on a monopod in the wind while shooting video AS WELL AS shooting stills on a 1DMkIII with a 70-200 f2.8L IS is truly tricky. But I guess that’s why I’m paid the measly bucks eh?
Here’s a video I knocked up with a few stills tossed in. Feel free to watch it here or click the link on the video to head over to Vimeo and see it in HD. Hope you like it!

Robbie “God” Fowler takes a hot lap
Shot a very quick video as former Liverpool star and marquee North Queensland Fury signing Robbie Fowler completed his hot lap with Alex Davison. Damn I wish I could have a lap like that! 
A quick look at the Townsville 400 pitlane

Had a portrait job with Jamie Whincup this afternoon so while I waited outside his pit garage I thought I’d knock over a quick video of the pitlane area. Gee it’s nice to see V8 Supercar racing in Townsville!
Where the iPhone 3GS really shines
Posted by Cameron in News, Newspaper, Photography, Video on July 3rd, 2009
I am shooting a news job in the Queensland sugar town of Proserpine and have had the opportunity to give the iPhone 3GS its first real test in an ‘on the job’ situation. The court case I am covering involves a policeman who is alleged to have assaulted handcuffed victims and is charged with six counts of assault occasioning bodily harm. Today’s star witness gave an impromptu press conference on the steps of the small courthouse, a perfect test of the ability of the 3GS video. Shot the 3.48min video at about 11am and had it uploaded to YouTube by 11.15am.
