Melbourne & Geelong Wedding & Portrait Photographer Robb Duncan

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 !!)

Image of the Week (3)

Image of the week is a regular blog post running every Friday (hopefully, this is only the third post… so who knows !) with the aim of showing you something a little different.

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 :)

All Hail Hale? - This could have done with a little more flash output although I concede the time of day might not have allowed for an increase due to high ambient light levels.
