" When is it back in the Depot?" "Friday" "*#@*%$#"

I've done several shoots for Mercedes Benz trucks & Driveline magazine over the years but this was definately one of the hardest. Talk about rush job. I get the call Friday to shoot the truck on Monday Afternoon about 150km's north of where I live. Usual stuff truck unloading, detail pics, that sort of thing. The shots then have to be in Adelaide for a Thursday deadline. No problem there then until I get the call Monday saying the truck is still waiting for a load of beer in Brisbane.

"What times it arriving back at the depot?" "2.00am" "What time do start unloading it?" "5.30am" " When is it back in the Depot?" "Friday" "*#@*%$#"

So a very early morning trip up the highway to arrive in complete darkness. It was a bit of a challenge trying to light a big truck & trailer with remote speedlites in a dark warehouse but the shots turned out pretty well in the end and when the sun did finally come up we got some really nice early morning light as well.

Shoot across the face of the wave

Fabulous waves for the first Port Macquarie Surfboard Riders Club competition of the year. Lighthouse Beach really turned on the waves. Competition was tight and I was really pleased with the shots.

I've just created a website for the club so check it out HERE to see some more shots from the event.

I never cease to be amazed at some of the younger members of the club. Check out 8 year old Jack Germain. These guys shoot across the face of the wave as they are so light!
