Cool little effect of self portrait shadows on trees.  Grass has actually been desaturated a little bit in post,  can’t believe how green it came up!

This is a compilation of two shots taken one after the other on a self-timer, given they were both the same exposure I’d say I could’ve gotten a pretty similar effect in-camera if I’d tried longer exposures.

Feels weird playing around with RAW files after working mostly with film for a little while! nothing too extreme here but the difference in shades is quite striking.  Darling Gardens, Melbourne.

Godoggo @ Miss Moses, August 2019, group shots

Can’t wait to shoot this on film but for the moment I’ve tried to edit the digital to maximise dynamic range to simulate colour negative films like portra.  i’m hoping to catch this early one morning after rain for a Tom Hido kind of effect (wouldn’t mind a medium or large format camera while we’re at it!).

Godoggo @ Miss Moses, Brunswick (VIC, Australia)

Not really sold on this but the colours are interesting enough that it’s worth a post.  A few of the photographers I’ve been following lately are quite into abstract architecture/urban photography so this latest shoot erred towards that a bit.

Shot-reverse-shot; two 180 degree views of the same laneway, both unedited.

Love the bokeh of the dust inbetween the bass & the stage projector- good shit indeed.
