Hey Yoshi! He’s so photogenic! Don’t you think?!

Yoshi and Olivia reviewing Robert’s shots.

Today I hung out with Yoshi and Olivia of Facet Studio, who have just finished renovating Nanami’s Mums apartment. If only I had before shots… there’s just so much more light now! The darkness and heaviness has now gone and there’s just such a much better flow through the apartment now (so interesting as there’s almost always 2 ways to get into the one room). Love the subtle Japanese influences too. The carpet reminds me of tatami mats, the dining room reminds me of a traditional tea room.

Love how the Zen Stand lit up tonight!

eoym
A shot from Mitch’s drone. I counted over 1000 cars, easy!

It’s 1.17AM and I’m still up, surging, maybe because I had one too many coffees at Brewristas earlier today with Alain as well as Pauline and Mark from Red Lantern Restaurants (I’m usually a one coffee a day guy). Or maybe it’s because the rain held off at the JDMST EOYM tonight and my gamble to go with my gut paid off with over 1000 cars coming out to play!

The forecast a week out was thunderstorms for Monday night. Earlier today BOM had issued a severe weather warning. 70% chance of rain out West became 80% later in the day. My phone was going CRAZY with SMS messages and messenger messages asking if the meet was going ahead or not. I also had some suggestions to postpone the meet, some suggestions came from really level headed people too, which I admit, started to sway me from listening to my gut. But hey, I’m the luckiest guy alive and my gut said it wasn’t going to rain, and too right, it didn’t rain! Not a single drop!!!

What an awesome meet. All the doubters missed out (as usual), so too all those who complained about the meet being held on a Monday night (seriously, it’s not a rave, or pub crawl?! Not like you’d be late for work the next day, or hung over?! It’s just 3hrs in a car park!!! I can’t see the difference between going to a car meet, or, say… dinner out?!). JDMST EOMM’s are back, baby! Here’s to a meet a month in 2015!!!

Had a fun shot with Sophie Moyle last weekend. Sophie’s an artist and a keen violinist too so we got along like a house on fire. We shot both at my place, and the beach house. You can check out all the final pictures on my photography portfolio: http://www.justinfoxphoto.com/sophie

Lovely place, shame about all the power lines!

Celebrated Eddie’s B’Day with Clay Shooting yesterday. Have never shot a gun before (was inevitable, right?!), was mad fun. I loved it!

I got there a little early, and walking around the car park seeing so many guys with guns out just felt so surreal. Seeing guns on picnic tables, guns everywhere! Shooting and hitting targets was actually easier than I thought it would be (I was prepared to not hit a thing!). Recoil wasn’t bad at all (was worse in my mind), though it was funny watching it catch a few people off guard! Ejecting shells is mad! Smells so good too! Highly recommend it for anyone who’s never had a go, we all paid around $100/head and they use competition bullets made in Italy, considering they’re about $1.50/$2/bullet and you get 40 or so shots, that’s great value!

Rosamina Photoshoot #2

Posted on 26 November, 2014 by Justin Fox

raw
Here’s a raw, unedited straight off the camera.

Had another shoot today with Rosamina. I’m getting the hang of the Sony a7S, using the viewfinder instead of the screen all day, still awkward (my shut eye won’t stay shut I feel like I need to wear an eye patch!!!!!) but I’m getting there! I might even make the move to start playing with Lightroom?! I’ve got it, but have never used it.

PS: All the edited photos are now live on my photography portfolio site: http://www.justinfoxphoto.com

Squarespace

Posted on 23 November, 2014 by Justin Fox

New Photography Portfolio.

I’m a WordPress guy (well, an HTML guy actually, wish I could turn back time and dominate the web like I did once in the 90’s lol), but recently I’ve been thinking about setting up a photography folio of some sort as tumblr is just not cutting it (6 months into shooting and I’ve got too many images now, and with tumblr I can’t re-organise or sort images).

I started looking into some WordPress base themes but failed to find the right solution (short of hacking to death and using plugins to make it all happen). My developer flatmate suggested I look at Squarespace. I did some research, played with a demo for a few hours and found it pretty damn impressive in regards to getting your content onto a site as quickly and as easily as possible. It’s a bit buggy, and starts to take a toll on your browser (I had to close the window a couple of times and log back in to get it up to speed again).

You can check out my work in progress so far (I signed up for 12 months at around $170 with the use of a coupon code). PS: NSFW Nudity Warning!). Visit: http://www.justinfoxphoto.com
