...Wrap ...again
Panic at rock island is finished. look out for it later this year? on channel 9
This weeks photos come from week 4 of the Tele-movie
On a location shoot, you always get to see interesting places - but this production has had the most amazing locations - I've truly seen Sydney from a different perspective, and it's one that I'm grateful to have been a part of.

- He's miking from under, I was over-the-top...
and now for a little info on my photos. Of course, It's the carpenter; not the hammer. But for those who are curious - on set I use a Panasonic LX3 - it's always on my work belt - for quick stills of a rig to show the boss, or scope out a potential problem and show people a picture (always worth a thousand words)
post-wise, I've been using picasa to crop, occasionally adjust contrast, and then compress for web.
touristy shots (trip to crater-cove, etc) are usually on my Nikon D50 with either a 18-200, or the tokina 11-16mm.
that's about it

Final photo is a still taken by our on-set photographer Jimmy. I'm booming, MC's looking.
See ya later Sydney, it's been a blast.
Time for me to move on, back up the east coast, to my life in Brisbane *(well for a day or two)
I'll catch you on the next big one.
Special thanks to Vashti, for providing a reasonably priced accommodation option in the heart of Bondi Junction.
