Christmas is Sooo Close | Photoshop Classes

Point Shoot Play — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 22:23:39 +0000

Without fail near all conversations at the moment included “I cannot believe where the year has gone, it will be Christmas before we know it”

Well I hate to point it out again -but serious Christmas is so close… We are holding our last group workshop today for 2011 and have a few 1:1 remaining. It has been a great year thus far – thank you… Next year looks to be as good – we are taking bookings for Jan 2012 – 1:1 or small group workshops during the holidays – days are limited though…

We have had a few requests for play days – when we get together and go and shoot, or hover over the computer and ask questions re photoshop, downloading – more like a 20 questions session – if you are interested – shoot us an email with what you’d love to ask/see on the day…

Stay tuned for a few Christmas Ideas coming over the next couple of days.

Get out and enjoy the sunshine today…

PS. You didn’t really think I’d not post a pic did you?

These images are couple of when we went away to Coffs during the September holidays. I “playtime” is Macro – love it…

And like all good families -the kids refusing to get out of the car for a quick photo…

Flash Photography Book Review | Brisbane Photographer

Point Shoot Play — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:17:55 +0000

We are always asked which books we’d recommend for learning or improving your photography… This week, we received our copy of Understanding Flash Photography by Bryan Peterson – many that has been to one of our classes or workshops know that we recommend any book by Bryan… Understanding Flash Photography is no different -if you are looking to learn how to se your flash and then push the boundaries a little more – a must have book…

We purchased ours from the Book Depository – great prices…

Point Shoot Play is offering Gift Vouchers for Christmas – we had a few hubbies wait to the week before Christmas last year – maybe start dropping hints today

Cheers

Red Wagon | Meloo Photography | Brisbane Children’s Photographer

Point Shoot Play — Fri, 20 May 2011 00:07:05 +0000

It really is no secret, I love props… Coming from a studio background, props play a major role in all my shoots – even if they aren’t used…

One of my faves and loved by all is an old red wagon…

Master Jack tends to agree…
