Lighting gears were Profoto Acute 2400 Ws and Profoto HardBox and a small beauty dish, on occasions.
Camera gears: I used a Hasselblad H4D40 tethered to a MacBook Pro 17″ for the shoot.

Checking back it’s been 4 months since my last post…

A lot of water has been through under the bridge and I’d say that busy life kept me away from updating this blog. Appologies.

What you can do at the moment is check out some of my recent work, covering fashion, event and weddings on my other photography blog: http://nomadphotography.com.au/blog

Wishing you good reading and stay tunes as I got a long list of equipments that I recently upgraded and will be posting more hands on soon.

It’ been a while since I last posted here.
Too busy to maintain blogs (http://nomadphotography.com.au/blog) and website (http://www.nomadmodels.com.au) but also with wedding album design and photo shoots, I barely had time to do anything else.
Anyway, time to get back to the keyboard for some typing and posting.

To start with, I’ll have a bit of an insight regarding gears as I have been shooting with some new toys for the last couple months now.
In the bag I have:
- Canon 5D Mark II
- Canon 7D
- Canon 1D Mark IV

While the first two cameras are not the hottest cameras at the moment, I confess that I haven’t touched my 7D since I had the Canon 1D Mark IV.
I can shoot a whole wedding with this camera and the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8 L.
When I can see the reason why Canon maintains its x1.3 crop sensor I tend to use less and less the full frame of my Canon 5D Mark IIs (I have two of them)

Having the Nikon D700 and the exciting Nikon D3s, I found in the new release Nikkor 16-35 f/4 VR an exciting piece of glass but I didn’t feel the need to buy it.
Why did Nikon build this lens? Is it to compete with teh Canon 16-35 f/2.8 L II or is it just to have one?

As mentioned above, putting the 16-35 f/2.8 L II on my Canon 5D Mark II body and the 24-70 f/2.8 L on the Canon 1D Mark IV, I have virtually no gap in my focal range from 16mm to 94mm FF equivalent.
Not that Nikon doesn’t have a crop sensor in its range of D-SLR but because they have the excellent 14-24 f/2.8 to complement the 24-70 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/2.8.
Having these 3 awesome lenses with my two Nikon bodies, there is no need for me to buy that Nikkor 16-35 even if it has VR. Note also that at this focal range and on full frame bodies, you almost never need VR anyway.

below are a few images from recent shoots with the above discussed cameras.

It has been such a busy time that I haven’t got time to post on this journal.

I will come back here soon with loads of review and announcements.

On the menu there will be the on-the-field reviews of the Nikon D3s and the Canon 1D Mark IV in real wedding situation.

I will talk about my one month experience with the Apple iPad and also what it changed in my way of traveling light on assignment.

In the meant time, check out these few images taken at an expo at the Alliance Francaise in Canberra.

Back soon.

From a recent wedding I shot overseas (New Caledonia).

Two days after the Ceremony and Reception, I dragged the couple out for a lite session of TTD.

The location was actually the groom’s resort between mountains and rivers. Awesome spot.

As the end of the year approaches, most influential websites start posting their galleries of POY: Photography Of the Year.
