Must be a strange feeling.
being forced to do a blog as part of my uni course - to document my views on my work, galleries i visit and other photog related things. was thinking of maybe doing a facepunch feature on it, possibly a weekly thing of photo's that have been posted that i'd like to say a few words about or possibly whole posts dedicated to a single user and their work. idk what do you guys think? like would anyone be game to let me use their work? its meant to incorporate work that we like/inspires us and a lot of the work that some guys on here have produced has influenced me a lot. I did this sort of thing the other year with some of steves work and it worked quite well for my project.

[QUOTE=PenguinKris;42375470]Finally quit being lazy and filled out a photographer application for my school newspaper. Talked to the photo editor and she showed me all of the equipment they have. Not too bad, I forgot what bodies they use but lenses are a lot nicer than what i have. Couple of 70-200 2.8s, wide angles, and a 300mm. already got my first assignment this friday to shoot swim and dive :dance: Finally getting back into shooting sports again![/QUOTE] Shooting sports is pretty fun, even when you have to shoot night-time football with ISO 1600 and f/5.6 :v:

God shooting a wedding wa so stressful, I start sweating when I even think about that day. Was the second I ever did and suddenly I was driving the bride to the church, helping here and there and even doing the goddamn catering for a bit. I thaught I completely blew but now upon inspection I got some spectacular "situation" pictures holy fuck I am so damn reliefed. Luv ya all you mofos.
i'm shooting a wedding next weekend, i'm nervous too just seems like a LOT of pressure n stuff doesn't help that it starts around 6:30 aka when it's like completely dark :/
Get a time table. Get the pair to get everyone together for the group picture and tell them BEFORE the day starts. It was such a hassle for me. If you want naturals, tell people the shot is done, wait a sec and THEN shoot. Best portraits are those where people don't look into the fucking camera.
i shot a wedding a week or so ago, still editing through images omg so draining 2 many pics

If anyone in your working life offers you more responsibility without a pay rise they are taking you for a ride. [editline]14th October 2013[/editline] I took photos at an 18th on Friday night, the worst part was coming home and recognising the girl I got with in the dark (who looked alright at the time) was yuk.

Didn't know it was film, makes sense now. The colors and shots are all so crisp, I really like the cinematography.

cheers everyone for giving me access to your works, I'll probably slowly work my way through everyone week by week - kinda like a rolling fp exhibit + a way for me to work on my expressive language
Finally going home this weekend and debating whether or not I should bring my camera back with me.
