Had a shoot with Nicole Castle yesterday. Nicole reached out over email. Turns out she’s a friend of Britta’s (who I shot a while back, revisit those pics here), and having just started competing in the modelling scene she was after some photos.

I heard her rock up before I saw her! Nicole drives a modified turbocharged Mini (mad!). She’s a lawyer by day and has a kink for good interior design as she’s currently busy doing up her own pad in Manly at the moment. She’s all smiles, laughs and legs! Super fun to hang out with, be sure to follow her on Instagram: @njc3788.

PS: I got to shoot with my new Sony A7s. Straight off the bat I found the lens a bit too tight. I just can’t fit anything into frame (Nicole’s quite tall too, fitting her in full frame head to toe on the couch, and bed were pretty impossible!). Focussing is damn frustrating too as the camera just wants to spot focus in the centre of the frame, and I can’t just simply point on the screen to where I want the lens to focus, so now I’m shooting in a completely different way. IE: Pointing at what I want to focus on, them moving to frame and shoot. I’m also finding myself using the viewfinder, which again is a bit new and unnatural to me after the GF1 and GF6, though I like it and will most likely persist with it. LOTS of my shots were out of focus unfortunately. I’ve since changed my focus mode to wide, might even try focus locking next time too.

    Hey mate. Google using focal points. It will change how you shoot forever!

      Haha, yes have been trying to figure out different modes, which I’ve found, but generally speaking I think I simply need to develop a steady hand with pointing for focus, then moving/swivelling/framing to take the shot.

    Trust me on this one. Choosing composition in the frame with focal points is the way to go :) Then you can start to use Aperture creatively.

    I’m sure Mr Mead will show you. And then there is Lightroom :D Haha
