Another huge weekend

Canon 1D IIN with f2.8 16-35mm "L" lens available light, shot through the window of Seasons Restaurant, Mildura.

Wow what a weekend of shooting, we started on Saturday with the wedding of Amy and Joe, which continued way into the night, then first thing Sunday it was backing up all Saturdays shoot. Yep the outback photographer is a little paranoid about backups and I won't even consider reformatting a CF card until I have 3 copies of the files backed up to two separate hard drives and also to DVD, then off course there is no point keeping them in the one location in case of fire, flood or theft. Backups completed it was off on location shooting an ongoing portrait project, recording a period in time for a family with three generations of history on the one farming property. Followed by lunch on the run, more backups, a portrait viewing and two more family portrait sessions in the Excitations Garden Studio. Followed of course by many more backup sessions before finally calling it quites late Sunday night.

Back to the wedding of Amy and Joe we had an absolute blast shooting in amazing late Autumn weather. Taking full advantage of the many coloured and falling leaves in Ampelon gardens near Mildura, with a great group of people... Lifes just plain great isn't it. The image of Amy and Joe above was shot during a quick visit to Seasons Restaurant in the Mildura City Heart. Amy and Joe were inside while the outback photographer played the role of voyeur and shot through the window, taking advantage of the warm glow emanating inside. Love the technology that allows me to be able to shoot in full sunlight one minute and seconds later being able to shoot in very low light situations without the need to continually change film types like we did in the not so distant passed.
