New gear

I received my set of wireless TTL triggers in the mail the other week as well as an RS-5 R-Strap. Really loving this strap, not that my Industry Disgrace one was bad, but there's just so many more options for storage.

There's some studio space in my area that I'm looking at hiring out in the upcoming month or two for an impromptu weekend or evening of portraits. I'm still tossing up the idea of going the full hog and purchasing a support system for some seamless. At the moment, there's not enough room where I shoot for it to be of much use unless I go and regularly hire space. On the other hand, I am a bit of a gear-head! =D

If you've been following my Seven in Sydney project, you would have noticed it's also been a bit blank lately. One of the problems I have is that I tend not to upload every-day stuff to Flickr in order to keep it clean and Seven in Sydney works by taking photos from Flickr. I'm hoping to re-work it to take images straight from my camera phone rather than my DSLR, which I normally post-process. A fast workflow is more important for that than looking pretty (and hopefully it provides a raw stream of photos that have to be based on composition rather than technique). So I've got an 8MP camera phone also on the way.

I'll be out in the bush this weekend, so I'll take a few snaps with a lightweight cam if I can. Will see you next week!
