tlc Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Photo finish This show looks like it might be worth a look. My Mum read about it in the paper and told me about it. Has anyone else heard anything about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking Mad Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 CM haven't seen you about latley, how's all your crew going? I miss seeing their photos in the 52 weeks. Hope your all well. yeh sorry, I've been stolen by flickr so tend to spend my internet/photo time there, I check in here now'n'again crew has changed a fair bit, as you may remember lost Texas early last year, then in December we lost old Jamie girl I started a 52 Weeks project with Chester (with an out'n'about theme) then I found out he had a slipped disc in his neck which required many many weeks of rest, and he's only just come out of a surgery that should help, next week he gets to go on short walks again finally, so regretfully abandoned the weekly shots. Been taking weekly photos of Lotus with a "toy" theme ... but the big news is big baby puppy Saxon (german shepherd), he's keeping me very busy! He is almost 6 months old now and bigger than Lotus and Chester already :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) RIP sweet Jamie, I do remember when you lost Texas, aweful to lose two so close together! Poor Chester, hope he is feeling much better soon! Big For him! New puppy and 6 months old, how exciting, any pics? You kept that quiet. :laugh: look forward to seeing Saxon!

PossumCorner Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm loving it already! Don't know. I did miss the first five minutes. But I did think they would be competent, what I've seen they don't know which way is up, either with lighting or exposure. But will keep on with it and see. Dick Smith knows more than they do so far. You'd think they'd have done a bit of homework or something, even just on posing, control of subject, putting them at ease or giving them confidence instead of the subjects taking over, taking control. Quite strange. But results might not reflect what I'm seeing, they could be brilliant. Anyone else - before it gets more towards finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm taping it now as the OH wants to watch the footy... Yeah I agree I was expecting more competence.... But maybe that's half the fun!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think the whole Idea is that they are amateurs, kind of like Australian idol but for photographers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) It's been a bit cringey in parts but I think that's the whole idea too. Edited June 14, 2012 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Ah crap it's finished already, I was expecting at least an hour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 I don't know what redangel looks like? I think it said she was from the central coast and it's funny at the time but I thought it would be funny if there was a DOLer involved in the show, there is a lot of very keen photographers here. What did you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'm so jelly, I love Vince and want to practise making babies with him :laugh: It wasn't bad and I am happy to hear a bit of advice on portraits as it's not something I've done and am launching into it. Once they get over the stress of the shoot they'll probably look back and think they should have made more of having a medium format in their hands!

fattima Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Whew, I was tense for the whole half hour imaging what it would be like finding out what your assignment is then just having 30 minutes to get a handle on all that equipment before your subject arrives. Making a connection with the subject and taking control of the shoot would be really difficult in those circumstances I reckon. Snook, I agree that it would have been good if the show was longer and a bit more informative - even if they just ran through what each of the lights were and how they should be used would have been great. Still, hats off to the competitors, they did really well. Oh, Reverend Jo - is it bad of me to tell you that I live about 20 minutes walk away from Vince?!

Are You Serious Jo Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Not bad, but I have a closer connection, a friend of mine is a camera man and works with him at times and lived across the road from Vince, but I keep my fangirl urges under wraps with him :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 Agreed fattima, and not to mention having to use a camera that you have ever used before. Snook I had a look at the pics of RA, very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
