It's fucking huge, and weighs a tonne!!!!

Front and rear elements are colossal too

mattchewone · 4th August 2008, 19:41

Wow thats come out really good Sayer! I'd like one like that done for my website i think but if i was in a nicer top and sitting straighter.
What did you do to the BG? Looks purple and blue!

Really need to get together a set of poses i can use on people and get better at directing them thats the bit i suck most and is pretty much 1 of the most important things to know when shooting people lol.

jaybiss · 4th August 2008, 19:43

whos that camp mofo?

*snigger*

mattchewone · 4th August 2008, 19:44

JaBliss shut your trap!!

He asked me to pose like a student that was the best i could do lol!

Sayer is it alright if a few of my friends tag along if they have the day off?

jaybiss · 4th August 2008, 19:45

mattchewone · 4th August 2008, 19:47

Battery grips rock i really want one. Might get one lol. Website is not up and running just yet almost just a few things to sort out. Like the main things lol - logo, gallery to google checkout link, domain name, and company name.

Almost there though lol i have the layout i want and the pages setup.

We can do more if you'd like... it's a lot more easier working with you to be honest as you understand the whole process better and you think like a photographer which is helpful.

The background was blue... I just tweaked it in LR

Feel free to use it for whatever... I'll send you the non-Bordered one if you want it for anything.

Jay. are you smack?
Battery grips are mint and stop a good camera looking like a Fisherprice 'My First Toy Camera'
Also stop you looking a cunt when you need to take a pic in portrait mode... downside... they weigh a bit.

Matt, you can get a ebay battery grip for about £50-70 I hear...

jaybiss · 4th August 2008, 20:06

haha, im not a fan of them!

i look gay anyways so a battery grip wont make much diff

mattchewone · 4th August 2008, 20:14

I think next month a Grip will be on order hehe! I meant on sat to brands. Unless we end up at yours after to do some portraiture stuff! Cheers Sayer would love to do a couple more like that of me actually i kind of like it.

Such a shame your moving could really do with someone to call on that knows as much and more than me.

Barry123 · 4th August 2008, 20:19

woooooahhhhh no no no I know very little (notice how my stuff is getting a bit repetitive??) to be honest I bought it so I could do outside portrait stuff but it's a bit tricky get practice when you're living on your own

Well look I'm away Tomorrow, wednesday I'm busy... thursday, friday I'm free... perhaps meet up if the weather is good and do some funky outside portraiture shizzle? Grab that Ryan bloke as well...

Barry123 · 4th August 2008, 20:39
