My local angle on Kevin Rudd’s Emissions Trading Scheme

Yesterday I was sent out to Queensland Nickel’s Yabulu refinery to provide a pic to go along with a story about the new Emissions Trading Scheme introduced to parliament yesterday.  The Australian newspaper ran the pic on page 5 today along with Natasha Bita’s story.

Help feed a starving old-school journo?

Saw this on the web earlier and it gave me a great laugh.  Those old school reporters not embracing the web had better either get a bit geeky or risk being ’so yesterday’. :-)

Where the iPhone 3GS really shines

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.

Cowboys v Manly and how the papers used my pics

Had a nice run again in the papers with my pics from the North Queensland Cowboys v Manly Sea Eagles match. For the keen snappers out there – most of my pics were shot on EOS1DMkIII with 400 AF-IS f2.8L at 1/800 f2.8 on 2000iso. The light at the stadium is terrible, about 1 1/2 stops darker in the in-goal areas, wish they would upgrade the lighting to make it level all over the playing surface!

Back pages & spreads of my pics from Cowboys v Titans

Had a nice run in the papers with my pics from the North Queensland Cowboys v Gold Coast Titans. Very crappy game and shitty shooting weather (rainy) but managed to come up with some nice pics to please the editors. For the keen snappers out there – most of my pics were shot on EOS1DMkIII with 400 AF-IS f2.8L at 1/800 f2.8 on 2000iso.
