This blog opens the door to my world, my passion, my life. And incase you missed it, my names Robb Duncan - Photographer - Father of 6 - Wearer of Kilts and all round nice guy.( OK, so that last bit might be stretching it a little !!)
The aim of Image of the week is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and sometimes its something a little different.
I guess this falls into the something different category… yes??

I would like to start off this weeks post by asking a question… “Any idea the sort of location in which this image was captured…?? ”

I will only answer the question if enough people have a go !!
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5D Mark II & EF70-200 @200mm – ISO 50 – 1/200 second @ f/4.0
2 flashes on a light stand in a modified butterfly setup… the bottom flash was about 1/2 a stop brighter than the top.
So there you have it and like I said, please feel free to comment…

Damo - By Robb Duncan © 2009
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5D Mark II & EF17-40mm @17mm – ISO 50 – 1/500 second @ f/5.6
Even though we did have 2 flashes on a light stand to play with, the main light (camera left) is provided by the setting sun, I just added a little on camera fill flash to balance out the shadows.
So there you have it.
Oh, and please feel free to comment…

Firstly I can’t believe its been more than 10 weeks since I started Image of the week !! (Remember I missed a couple for weeks in the middle somewhere) Anyway, the aim of all this is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and sometimes its something a little different.
This weeks image is also a little nature…
I have been doing a little “Jogging Photography” for a few months now… nothing to serious, but it has been fun. Here is a shot from Tuesday…
Jogging Photography - on the down low.
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5D Mark II & EF50mm/1.4 – ISO 1600 – 1/125 second @ f/5.6
So there you have it. Oh, and please feel free to comment… in fact I insist.
I have just this minute finished processing the images I shot 2 weeks ago while second shooting for Kristie Dutson.
It was an intimate wedding ceremony, held on the beach at Moggs Creek, on the Great Ocean Rd. The surprise for me was the Bride and Groom were staying just down the road at the iconic Pole House in Fairhaven. We just had to get some shots !!
If you have been living in a cave for the last 30 years and don’t know about The Pole House, let me fill you in. The Pole house is the vision of architect and engineer Frank Dixon, built in 1978, it sits perched on a concrete pylon on the side of a fairly steep hill and towers above The Great Ocean Road at Fairhaven.
The house itself is accessible via a narrow walkway with a wooden rail and glass panels, which is itself a treat for those who are not too keen on heights !!
Being about 30-40 meters above the beach, The Pole House offers a stunning ocean view from Airey’s Inlet right across to Lorne.
Here is one of my favorite stormy wedding images.

Image of the week is a regular blog post that was supposed to run every Friday, but after the first 5-6 posts I realised that friday was not always the best day to post, so now you get an image of the week when ever I find the time!
Either way, the aim is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and sometimes its something a little different.
Its whats on the inside that counts.
Any guesses what this might be…??
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5D Mark II & EF-s 60mm/2.8 Macro – ISO 200 – 1/200 seconds @ f/14
If you are a camera geek like me, you might have noticed that I used the Canon 60mm lens and that it is not supposed to fit the 5DII or any other non EF-s Camera Body for that matter… And you will be wondering what I did to the lens to make it fit… yes…?
Simple, I used a 12mm Marumi Extention Tube.
But before you race out and buy one… make sure you try it first, as I have another set of tubes that don’t fit on EF-s due to the diameter of the internal baffle (in the tube).
So there you have it. Oh, and please feel free to comment :)

Image of the week is a regular blog post thats supposed to run every Friday.
After the first 6 or so posts I realised that friday was not always the best day to post, so now you get an image of the week when ever I find the time!
Either way, the aim is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and sometimes its something a little different.
I went out for a little wander tonight with Ryan, who has just purchased a wide angle lens and wanted to try out some landscapes and sunsets. Where as I on the other hand, needed some fresh air after driving to Taylors Lakes this afternoon to pic up our new Red 2 Seater lounge… (Although I have to admit, it does look great !!)
The Rocks - Below the road to Werribee South beach.
And then after the sun set, I shot this…
And for those that are interested, It was captured by :- Canon 5D Mark II & 50mm/1.4 – ISO 200 – 30 seconds @ f/11
I shot this in RAW with my slightly custom Monochrome profile, so apart from the cropping, this is how it looked Straight out of camera (SOOC) – perfect.
So there you have it. Oh, and please feel free to comment :)

After the first 6 posts I have finally realised that friday is not always the best day to post, so I will mix it up a little.
Either way, the aim is to show you a little more of what I love to shoot, and sometimes its something a little different.
I have been neck deep in wedding photography for the past 6 months, and have processed/edited literally 10′s of 1000′s of images, so it is always a little hard to get away from wedding images…
So here is another Flowergirl, doing what flowergirls do best !!
Playing in the sand - Beach Wedding at Moggs Creek on the Great Ocean Road - Shot by Robb Duncan for Kristie Dutson

We went out last week for a little lighting demo shoot, to get my assistant Ryan up to speed on lighting, Kristie assisted with lighting, and I was the model… … ( hence the reason I cut the head off this shot… because we can only take so much of me before we all start getting queezy… right…? )
Photographer in a Kilt.
Shot with some simple cross lighting and I just love the colour !!
Shot by Ryan Lawson with my new Canon 5DmkII that was still fresh out of the box
And for those that are interested, it was captured by :- Canon 5DmkII & 50mm/1.4 – ISO 400 – 1/100sec @ f/5.0 (shot at f/5.0 to get the camera and lens in focus as well as the “subject”)
And for those who are interested, I was holding my faithful Canon 5D & 70-200/2.8 IS

This post was supposed to be posted on Friday Morning, but for some reason the scheduling feature on the blog didn’t post it… and I wasn’t here to notice it.
Better late than never – here is this weeks Image.

This weeks image fits in really nice with the current Scottish theme, that seems to be abundantly clear ! And its a nice little detail shot.

Here is this weeks Image, shot last night when Ryan (my assistant) and I took a quick trip to Newport Skate Park.
Newport Skate Park action
And for those that are interested, it was captured by :-
Canon 5D & Canon 70-200mm/2.8 IS @ – ISO100 – f/2.8 @ 1/1250sec
And you are right, its not Wedding Photography, or Portrait Photography… So why did I shoot it? Well, 3 reasons really.
Firstly, my young assistant Ryan has a real passion for Skate photography and its always good to shoot things you love.
Secondly, Skate is not something I regularly shoot, so its good to break out of my comfort zone and…
Thirdly, I got to play. Shooting a lot of different images in a low pressure environment.
So there you have it. Oh, and please feel free to comment :)
