I had this idea in my head for a while to do a mock awareness poster. A few days ago I had nothing on in the afternoon so I grabbed some photos from my archive and put this together.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Automobiles.
Mock Awareness Campaign

Written by kingbob on January 20th, 2012Sunsets more often than not are a spectacular sight to behold. Few people actually take the time to look and enjoy the natural light show that goes on in front of their eyes. As a photographer I look at every sunset and enjoy the view first and then capture it forever on my camera. While a sunset happens every day, no two are ever the same. That’s why I find them so interesting.
Playing With My New Lighting Gear
Written by kingbob on January 13th, 2012Received the bulk of my lighting gear the other day so I took it out to have a play with it. This is the result. My car never looked so good!

I’ve been starting to play with off-camera flash photography lately. Since I aquired my Canon 60D I’ve been able to trigger my flash remotely via Canon’s IR E-TTL flash system.

Toowoomba Picnic Point Sunrise Christmas 2011
Written by kingbob on December 28th, 2011I finished work at 4:15am christmas morning and rushed up to Picnic Point to catch the sunrise. I didn’t have time to go home and grab my tripod so I had to use the railing. Apart from the composition which I couldn’t really control without a tripod I’m quite happy with it.

Prelude Country
Written by kingbob on December 17th, 2011In a world where 4WDs have been relegated to city cars driven by soccer mums, it’s time for a new off-road vehicle to take their crown. This is Prelude country.
On the dirt roads the Prelude drives like a dream. When was the last time you saw a BMW X5 out here?

RAW Files Look Darker In Lightroom
Written by kingbob on December 16th, 2011I’ve been struggling with lightroom issues of late, and this is to do with how Canon and Lightroom handle RAW files differently. Trawling the web others seem to have the same issue. RAW files look darker in Lightroom than they do in the image preview on the camera and how Canon’s DPP program renders them. After some research, I discovered that this is mainly due to the color profile Adobe uses for RAW files and the difference between that and what the camera uses. For RAW files, Lightroom uses the Prophoto RGB colourspace to render all files. Most cameras would probably be using sRGB colourspace. Because Prophoto is a wider colour gamut than sRGB the colour values are different and to have them in that range they appear darker. sRGB has a more compressed colourspace and hence the colours appear slightly brighter for the same colour values.
