A different type of Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM demo
Posted by Cameron in Equipment, Just for Fun, Newspaper, Photography, Sport, Video on August 3rd, 2010
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!

A rural wedding beats an NRL match hands down!
Posted by Cameron in Personal, Photography, Wedding on April 11th, 2010
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be commissioned to shoot a wedding on the amazing Trafalgar Station south-west of Charters Towers [Google Maps link]. It meant having another photographer fly from Sydney to cover the Cowboys v Tigers NRL match but it was well worth it. Country hospitality simply can’t be beaten and the Landsberg family who own Trafalgar Station were just brilliant. They laid on a wedding that would rival any big budget celebrity bash and the laughs, music and drinks flowed freely early into the morning.
Here’s a few pics from the wedding of Martin Cuddihy & Jayne Landsberg, 10 April 2010. (Click on the thumbnails to view a larger version)
Got a spare AUS$1,000,000 to splash on an out-of-date camera?

Recently I wrote a column for a magazine about my personal transition from film to digital 11 years ago. In that column I mentioned that the invention of digital photography was the biggest change in the industry since Louis Daguerre’s ‘Daguerreotype’ amazed people in 1835.
Well, only a couple of days after writing this column I spotted the “Giroux Daguerréotype” up for auction at an Austrian auction house.
This camera was designed by Daguerre and his brother-in-law and sold in limited numbers from 1839. To add to the value it features Daguerre’s signature and is in stunning condition.
If you have the time take the opportunity to learn a bit more about Louis Daguerre, one of the ‘fathers’ of photography. It really is fascinating reading (did you know that the first know picture of Abraham Lincoln was a daguerrotype?)
The first know picture of Lincoln was this Daguerrotype

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.
