Climate Care

Just back into town again from a 3 day shoot in North Western Province for Climate Care based in the UK. We flew up in an old islander and spent 3 days visiting the new hydro station that Climate Care is helping fund, as well as the schools, hospitals and people that the power will benefit. It was a great trip and my first shoot with the new Nikon D3. I shot 70% of the images with a 50mm lens, as this was the only short lens I had that would work with the D3. It was a challenge but I am super impressed with the low-light capability of the camera.

Here are a few of the people shots from the shoot:







Green Mining?

This is just a fun shot from one of my mine shoots a few weeks ago. I liked how all the shapes on the contruction site work together to create an image.

Ellensdale revisited

A few weeks ago I went to shoot some more agricultural images for Ellensdale Farm. Everytime I go out there, the weather goes bad, so once again I had to do the bulk of the shoot in a few minutes before sunset as the light broke through the cloud cover. A powerful quad bike allowed me get around the farm quickly enough to shoot each field.

In the middle of nowhere...

Phew - blogger appears to be working again - kind of anyway. Have only managed to do this single post so far.

Wow - can't believe its been over a month since my last post. I've been travelling almost constantly and madly editing the rest of the time so I've got a bit of catching up to do. These shots were for an exploration company working out in the bush. It was one helluva drive on a track through the hills to get there - over 4 hours to do 100km!




The helicopter is rigged to do specialist survey flights towing a huge receiver contraption. Amazing to see!


Drill teams work 24/7 drilling survey holes.

blogger problems...

Hi all. I've been trying to post for several days now but there appears to be a problem with blogger which means I can't currently upload or link to any photos. VERY frustrating. It seems to be a problem for a lot of people at the moment. Will wait a few days to see what happens, otherwise I'll move the blog to wordpress.
cheers
