To many Updates

This is the last update i do for the day, its a saturday and i should go do something productive.

In the middle of organizing some skating and motocross photos, so that should be my next update.

Sunsets & the Kokoda trail

I basically went to vietnam and back for the top two photos, they are from the same sunset just at different times, i think they were about 10 minutes apart. I lugged all my photo gear including a 15 kilo tripod from near the point in the shot all the way up the cliff face to get these shots. Not forgetting i had to run there to get them. About 10 minutes after the sun finally went down i started getting mauled by mosquitos then realized i wasn't wearing shoes, hey i was on the beach....who wears shoes?. So had to scale back down the cliff without shoes in the dark. Still deciding if it was worth it.....

City Beach 

Fremantle

Had an assignment for uni due last semester, was supposed to be on fremantle and had to suit a theme. Here's a couple of pics that i liked out of the few i submitted. There is no real theme between these few.

The below pic was my favorite. The foreground blur is actually 2 sailors walking, i was lucky enough to get the sailors in the background stationary and the foreground sailors walking past, only had one shot at it and stoked it worked out.

* 1.6s @ f4 with ISO 100

Another Shot

Another stitch from the other night, this ones only a 2 image stitch or really one and a half.

I need to figure out a better way of doing this....

North Point

Got this shot of North Point on the weekend supposedly 6m swell. Waves were bad but i want to re-shoot it on a good day from this angle, could probably frame it a bit better as well.

First Stitch

Found this spot a few weeks ago whilst checking out a new skatepark. I have been really keen to shoot it but just been waiting for the right conditions. Got it pretty good here i think, also this is my first attempt at stitching photos. This is a 3 photo stitch just using photoshop, don't have any stitching software yet and still not sure about the best way of doing it. Im sure there is a quicker way than what i did.

The Reason behind the name

Hey anyone.

A few chiefs got me hooked on the idea of a blog, so I've decided to go ahead with it. why not?

Basically this is just gonna be a place to chuck some of my photos on to see what people think, if they hate them sit on the fence or love them, either way its all good feedback for me. Just a way of getting what i love doing out there.

Ill try to update as often as possible but this kid cant keep any promises on weekly updates.

Oh and the reason behind the name, i wanted lightwriting.blogspot but it was taken, second preferance...spatch.blogspot. nope, taken! so i figured third try's always true. Proves my theory right, for now.

Here's a photo i took on a shoot with Tyson Foster at an abandoned meat factory (i think) a while back.
