It’s time to blow my own trumpet.. Two of my photograhs were awarded at the 2007 Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards just a few weeks back. One, entitled Feet First was awarded a Silver with Distinction, and the other, Reflection got a Silver award. Competing directly against professional photographers across Australia, I must admit I’m stoked to achieve such fabulous results on my first attempt at a national photography competition. It’s going to be difficult to follow up on this, but I’m very happy nonetheless.
Feet First

HI Geoff. Thanks for the answers. OK i understand teh process and you did a very very good work. I really love it.
I ask about clubs because i never been in one and i am not interested in going the point was if you make meetings with other photographers or if you go to places specifically for photography. Because it was i did in europe and i want do it here as well.
I live in Panania Bankstown or near.
Yes i am portuguese, i have degree in advertising multimedia comunications and Photography course in POrtuguese institute and also specialization portraits B/W in Milan.
If you are intereted in meet for a coffee and make some conversations about photography for me its OK.
Regards
Helder Pacheco
Thanks Helder,
First Feet is a straight shot, taken with a 50mm at f1.8m and then converted to b/w. I am the model as well, so it was set up on a tripod, pre-focussed and on a timer. I got very dirty
The other shot is a 30 second exposure on a tripod and timer again, as again it is me in the shot. I sat in the chair and after 15 or 20 if the 30 seconds, I stood up and walked out of shot. Again a b/w conversion. So of course you do do both of these shots on film.
I am in the process of doing a Diploma of Photography, so no I don’t really do photo meets. There are plenty of camera clubs around though. Where do you live by the way. Your ip address is in Australia, but you are Portuguese?
Hi Geoff. Thanks for your answer. uau i never imagined such effects could came out in digital. I like film butu also o like digital i think the best way to achieve something new is take the both worlds.
I have a Nikon F5 and a Nikon D200.Can I achieve the same light and effects on Nikon. Could you dsecribe me some details the way you did it if you want of course.Do you participate in photo meetings?
We keep in touch.
Cheers
You have a excelent work.I like it.

Congratulations Geoff. Your picture is amazing the light is superb on both “Feet and Reflection”
For curiosity it was you who developed the photos in darkroom and what you use.
My name is Helder i am photographer and i work with NF5 and Rolleiflex, i made photography with a strong contrast and no details at all, but honestely i would try to make photos with a vast percentual of gray…Can you gave me some tips please.
Cheers
I would like to have an opportunity to speak more with you about photography..
