My cousin finally convinced me to go out one night to do some astrophotography with him. We went about 20kms out of Canberra to a dead end road to see what we could get despite the clouds. This was probably the best shot of the night.
Exposure: 52 seconds @ f/2.8 ISO 1600 hand guided.
Lens: 28mm f/2.8 Protonar M42 mount.
Camera: K100D Super
In light of my recent shoot of Teana and Mari, I have been motivated to re-shoot my whole figurine collection. What initially sparked this idea was when I was reorganising my figurine photographs and stumbled onto my old photographs. Needless to say they were pretty woeful. After seeing those photographs, I felt rather ashamed that I could not do the figurines justice at that time. Therefore, I have decided to do this re-shoot project to see if, with my current skills, I could photograph them in a better light (no pun intended).
Below is the first set of what I hope to be many: Yamaha’s Hatsune Miku by Good Smile Company. Enjoy!
Update: Re-uploaded 1-4. I was not happy with some of the processing. »Read More
I recently borrowed Lardman’s Teana Lanster (Alter version) for a shoot that was supposed to be for a forum photography competition. Unfortunately, I could not get the shot I wanted and get it all post processed in time. It was interesting trying to photograph her. There were some good shots and some pretty terrible ones. Otherwise, it turned out quite well.
In other news, I finally picked up my Makinami Mari Illustrious figurine (Max Factory version) from the post office. She stands a little under 30cm and is one of my larger (taller) figurines. Clad in a pink plug suit and donning and eager look on her face, she is ready to pount some Angels into dust.
Anyway I did a shoot with both figurines, I hope you enjoy the photos!

Went to Skyfire 2011 last weekend, a bit peeved that I missed the F-18s. Having spent a good amount of time looking for a park, I settled for a spot at Old Parliament House. Unfortunately, I had to run all the way to the National Library arriving barely time to setup for the fireworks. Here are the photos that I was happy with, enjoy!
