This week: It’s another look into the considerations surrounding one of my latest shoots.
This one had it all – colour, fun and context. The great thing about photographing kids when they’re engrossed in an activity is that the shots look really natural. Working with natural light means I can move around freely, capturing a set of honest, unposed contextual portraits.
Some quick links to things mentioned today:
- Pelican 1510 case
- Nikon SB-800 flash gun
- Nikon Nikkor 24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF
- Sigma 10-20mm f.4/5.6 EX DC HSM
- Nikon Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S
- GBP Blog post – Big Red Fun Bus

Speaking of The Active Photographer #podcast… This week’s ep is right here, if you’ve not heard it yet: http://theactivephotographer.com/2011/02… #photography
@gilesbabbidge random question, if I may – what is a good camera to get that’s sort of between compact and dslr?
@Isaab Rather depends on how much you’re wanting to spend. High-end compacts are worth a look… but come at a price, of course. Budget?
@gilesbabbidge up to about 300 – prospective bday present :p. Had a look at one of the samsungs but not sure. My current one is awful (Nv4)
@Isaab You should def. check out the #Canon #G12 (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/buy-cano…). I still have my excellent G9 (http://gilesbabbidge.blogspot.com/2009/0…) #photography
@gilesbabbidge ok. Will do! Thanks for the advice!
@Isaab No worries. Any time :)
@Isaab By the way, don’t forget that #FocusOnImaging runs at NEC from Sunday; a great chance to check out cameras (http://www.focus-on-imaging.co.uk/)
@gilesbabbidge hmm bit expensive to get to brum though and don’t think my dad is willing to stop on our way back from derby.
