Day 03 - October 2010 PAD

[Colin Southern]

I'm a few minutes early with today's shot ... hope you'll all forgive me!



By the way, this is one of 14 shots I've popped into Lesson 5 of my Portraiture lessons - some of you might like to have a look at this latest lesson.

Today I was a market selling my ware. This is my market set up. I built the displays and I could not have imagined what you can get in a 3 meter square space. In front you can see a silhouette of me taking the photo and a bowls of water for the dogs.

Everyone promenades with their dog. If I cannot stop the people I will stop their pooches.

Looks like some great stuff there Peter. Are you running about a 3:1 aspect ratio for that work on the (camera) right? What have you done for framing & mounting (can't quite make it out)?

How much do you sell the ones on the right for? Does the market day approach work very well?

It has been raining here on and off for the past couple of weeks and today it is more "on" than "off". On top of that my son still has my camera, so photography options are limited. Here is a Bromeliad from my garden taken with my Olympus 770.

Hi Colin, you are right about the 3:1. I can print A3 so I use 6 inch x 16.5 inches fitted to a frame 8 x 18.5 inches. I have all my frames mad a guy in NSW. He does the frames and the mount. I cannot remember what the panorama frame costs but around AUD17.00 (including mount) . A3 frame with mount are around AUD 25 (much less than retail).

I sell the A3 prints for $120, A4 for $90 and the panoramas for $70. The market is so –so for sales but the work is very well received. I use this as a means to fill workshop classes – “I can show you how to achieve shots like this”. I could almost fill a class every market. I run one day workshops for 6 – 8 people at $150 a day. I am about to move to a market in Melbourne and will increase the prices a bit on both the print sales and workshops.

Well today has seen the final race in the 2010 UCI Road race event here.
So I beg forgiveness to post another image on the same topic, as my husband is interested in cycling, so we were keen spectators all day today.
The thing that made today's effort a learning exercise, was we happened to be standing next to a group of guys who were a mixture of photography & cycling enthusiasts.
We got chatting in between the riders laps & 1 of the guys was setting challenges for his less experienced photography friends.....so of course they welcomed me into their group

We had to at various laps try - panning, rider in silhouette, reflection of the painting on the road in the riders glasses, (my e.g of here) etc

The Aussie didn't win this time - but a very pleasant day was had by all

What a dramatic sky! Lucky you Tim to be able to capture it.

Another wet and windy day so I tidied up my work shed. I have made the most of the last of the sunny weather and did some maintenance/painting work to the outside of my house.



This was a 'before' shot.

[Pete W]

Awesome shot..have you sold it to the rider yet? I'm riding through rain and puddles over here..

It was cold this am so I didn't venture far. I shot this picture (Down the Path) with my Rokinon fish-eye.





I got the picture in the post. I found I had to copy the BB code to make it stick. My first attempt didn't work so I probably mistyped.

I posted my Day 3 shot in the forum per se. It took me a while to get the photo inserted. Hopefully, here is what I posted:

I took this on Thursday when it was pouring buckets. I was trying to catch the feel of the muted day with WB. I think it kinda worked.

Yesterday (Saturday), I spent the WHOLE morning out with my camera. I was frozen stiff by the time I was finished on the dam but still had fun working in fully manual mode for a few hours more. I noticed, for the intensive practice, that I'm getting better and better at adjusting my camera without having to look. My goodness, practice works, fellow PAD adventurers!!!

Today, however, is the 49th day of my 365 PAD. In fear that my family will think that I love my camera more than them, I'm only obeying the letter of the law with this next photo so that I don't get severely reprimanded by Colin!

Be careful of the cake marked eat me!

Well, it sorta worked.

If you can still see your feet, don't worry, Katy

Yes, well, looking down at them was making me dizzy....

Tim, how in the world did you get that cloud to pose for you????

Brill! Love the shot and title. If life were not so depressing I'd be laughing.
