Kiwi Photographer wanted!

Hey Guys.

My mothers birthday tomorrow (yes i know, bit late) and Ive just realised what I can give her!

My brother departs early friday morning - hes moving to the UK. Mum has no photos of me or my brother apart from ones we had done we we were about 10!

So, im looking for someone living in Auckland who could take a couple of photos of me and my brother. I can only afford to pay you in beer, and perhaps petrol if your driving! I dont mind if you shoot my camera, your camera, perhaps its easiest if you just shoot onto my CF cards!

We are going to get it printed and framed at 8x12.

Unfortunatly I left it a bit late - wazza was going to have a go but he's since left the island!

PM me if your interested!

Cheers!

Matt

PM sent, but put me down as a last resort.

FlyingPete is the man you want, unlike me he knows what he's doing
I have a windows background to prove it.

What do you think Moppie? group effort?

The Great Kiwi POTN Portrait shoot?

Why not!

heh thanks for the offers guys. Moppie seems like the sensible answer as hes just down the road IIRC.

Lets put our creative heads together though - what sort of shot do you think would be best?

We are both fairly tall, I think im around 184 and my bro is the sameish. We dont do too much sport, so there's no ovbious 'stand with a rugby ball' pose.

Ideas?

bugger, I'm in Wellington!!

But I'll use this oppertunity to introduce myself any way....

Hi I'm Cam another Kiwi photographer

Hey Cam.

Tims from wellington - but hes off in haiwii or someplace nice!!

Whats your ideas on what sorta photo to give to Mum tomorrow?

Matt

and wow, there are some great images in your blog!

How about a side profile sort of thing - you facing your brother?
mum's are great, they'll love any pictures of their kids.....
Moppie, don't forget to get a model release form signed!

heh. next thing you know mum will be look at me and my bro on a billboard!

I like the idea of a slight profile. where should we go for a nice backdrop?

A model release?

oh yesssssss.............​..


I'll have to bring a ladder to by the sound of it.

How about bucklands beach with the sun setting behind both of you? The 300D has a pretty good onboard flash for fill I assume?

that sounds nice. i've also got an old 244t speedlight that is twice as grunty as the popup flash - but you need to shoot in manual and work out proper exposures.

I can work out exposures don't worry about that

Im sure you can too!

looks like my brother is running a bit late, says he can get here by 4.15. Im charging all my batterys and emptying CF cards now.

You've got a choice of the 18-55mm/3.5-5.6 kit, or the 90-300/4.5-5.6

And tripod or monopod.
