Roll Call….some of our summer faves

From the shoots over the last few months of summer – here’s just a few of our favourites

On location shooting linked to iPad

Dharvey — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 23:54:13 +0000

I’m trying, for the first time tomorrow, to live link the camera to the iPad. The advantages are obvious, a bigger screen to review the photos, more memory and instant feedback with the customer.

Being able to view and review live will mean much less time in the editing suite also, being able to discard unwanted images almost instantly.

Using simply the iPad camera attachment accessory and software the live link is easy.

I’ll come back with my thoughts on the process along with some of the results over the weekend.

Travelling light!

Why not go for a montage in frame

One of our recent customers and dear friends went through some framing options with Sarah – and came up with this really nice framed montage of the shoot. Cracking idea we thought and we really liked the finished product.
