Folio Shoot - Vasilisa { Melbourne Photographer }

I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot with Vasilisa a few weeks ago.  The makeup was done by Tash Freeman and the hair styling was done by Rebeka Gracey Wind.  Thank you ladies!!  We were a bit concern as we thought it was going to rain but fortunately it didn't.  Below low are a few images from this session:

Model Shoot - Tahny { Melbourne Photographer }

I had the pleasure of photographing the very beautiful Tahny.  We have tried to organise this shoot since a few months ago but we could not find a time that suit both of us until now.  I had a lot of fun doing this shoot and Tahny is very easy to work with.  Below are a few shots from this session:

DIY Lens Baby

I have been wanting to make a DIY Lens Baby for a while.   I found an article on the internet that provides information on how to build it.  Actually there are quite a few articles out there on how to build this but the one I've followed on this project is from this URL


The main material I've used in this project are:
* a Bronica Zenaznon-EII 75mm f2.8 (I got this from ebay)
* a M42 to EOS mount (to fit to my Canon camera body)
* M42 extension tube

* Cable Ties

 * Car Velocity Joint Boot

The instruction that I have followed has talked about the removing of the focusing ring off the lens.  However,  the Joint Boot that I've found happened to fit exactly on the end of this lens so I didn't remove the focusing ring off my lens.

I have to cut one end of the Joint Boot to shorten it's lens in order for me to be able to get the lens to a focusable distance.

 

I use cable ties to secure one end of the Joint Boot to the M42-EOS adapter (to fit my Canon camera)

 

I trimmed off the extra bit of the cable tie. 

 

The below shows how the finished lens fitted onto my camera.

Below are a few shots taken by this lens on a Canon 5D camera.  Manual focus (obviously) and taken in Manual mode.  I find the focusing very challenging

 

 

 

Good luck if you wish to attempt this project, it's not that hard.  Should you have any query, please feel free to contact me at :  Contact@ThatsTheshot.com.au
