Booked for Christmas dinner yet?

Booked for Christmas dinner yet?

If not, you'd better hurry.

Bookings may be made here, which is where you'll also find the menu. The venue is the Rockefeller Bar & Grill, on King St in the city, on December 8. It's just a month till it happens, but bookings will be closed well before then.

As always, this will be a top night, with the announcement of the PotY, OMotY, and, of course ....


White on White (looks good in red, too, eh? :) )

This should be a fun challenge for you to shoot, with just so many different possibilities. How much thought have you given this so far? Have you got a basic concept in mind?

Lighting? That will be a most important aspect of this challenge.

As will exposure and contrast.

Have fun.

Leigh went to the D3/D300 product launch yesterday. I've posted one image here. More to come, but prepare to be impressed.

D300 pricing through Poon. And I'm starting to take orders. :)

White balance is old hat. The new buzz word and 'modus operandi' is black balance! Get with it people!
