liam beattie — 2009-01-09T00:00:00Z

for some reason my exif data is not saving when i export via lightroom which is annoying...so will try sort that out Playing with fire again...this time nearly set the whole field alight, but with hindsight as my friend we had safety equipment onhand!

the thinker

liam beattie — 2008-09-27T00:00:00Z

i thought i better post some images whilst i have a gap else you all think i have vanished :D a recent open day shoot on the garden route in blistering 32 degree heat yielded one or two goodies. This guy was thinking hard. As the photographers walked past he would glance up and then get back to thinking. Did quite a bit of post to get rid of the harshness of the light as it was shot at around midday

beauty and the beast

so take a 250k chandelier that weighs 300kgs and is covered in swarofski crystal, stick it in a warehouse with a guy angle grinding = great fun. any time fire is involved i develop a smile very quickly a recent shoot for a client who make top end chandeliers...their shoots are always a nightmare as one cant use a flash on crystals (way to much reflection) so its natural light only...which is particularly difficult when they want to do a staff portrait next to this unit which this shoot was for ... this shot and a few others where some quick snaps whilst everyone got ready for the portrait shot. all their shoots so far have been in the factory trying to get that sexy chandelier look offset against the factory industrial setting. i processed this with a half tone effect...effectively laying over a bw gradient map on 50% opacity over the original colour version. again i must apolgise for being so absent of late...its not likely to change till at least the year end now...not that i am complaining, its just i miss talking photo with all you folks. At least i will have a great time looking thru archives soon take care and see you soon

where does canola come from

liam beattie — 2008-08-22T00:00:00Z

hello everybody i have been super slack recently on SC, but rest assured its because i have been buried in work so time is very tight...that and my desktop bombing out meant i have had to upgrade to a spanking new mac laptop...YAY. Macs rock and wish i had used them earlier That being said I have had a chance to shoot. This and following pics where taken on the N2 between the garden route and cape town...they are canola fields and are in full bloom. These pics do not do the spectacle justice and i wish i could shoot them from the air. There is literally bright yellow everywhere

in the eye

when the tree caught fire. Pines take nothing to catch alight see when the molten metal hits it...crisis was everted due to quick thinking. Our neighbours across the dam came out to watch the spectacle and appreciated our efforts
