David Reid Photography Blog http://xploit3d.com/blog David Reid Photography's blog of all things related to photography Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:06:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 en hourly 1 X3D has moved to DRP http://xploit3d.com/blog/?p=291 http://xploit3d.com/blog/?p=291#comments Mon, 19 Jul 2010 23:00:25 +0000 Dave http://xploit3d.com/blog/?p=291 First off i would like to thank Dane Thomas from Icology for making my new website absolutely win over the now old site :)

I suggest heavily to get in contact with him for any web work required his details are dane [at] danethomas [dot] net

As for me, well this is good bye to XpLoiT3D. Its been my domain for many years and as much as i will keep on using it, its now game over for publishing work to. From now on, all blog posts, all information will be moved to my BRAND SPANKING NEW SITE!

David Reid Photography

My twitter has also been updated to now be @DavidReidPhoto be sure to add me :) as you had followed @xploit3d. again, this twitter will be slowly phased out.

So what can i say? The new site, well honestly its breathtaking. I am honestly in love with it. Not just the ability to do what i have always dreamt but its seemless nature and how it just intergrates perfectly to everything i need it to. The blog has been completely redesigned and new design features such as hero images and popping thumbs, inbuilt youtube, 1/2 page images any configuration you can think of.

My gallery, its seamless. Its perfect! No more mess no more clutter, big bright images. There is also a login section for publishers to login and see photos available for submission!

A completely dedicated workshop tab with forms and integrated google maps for all information to be provided up front!

A dynamic front page with a quick overview of whats going on inside my head and what updates have happened and quick links to all my profiles.

I can honestly with hand on heart say that this IS the best photography website on the net. If you dont agree, then so be-it but it is.. :) I can not thank Dane enough for his continued efforts and consistant bugging on my behalf to make this work perfectly.

I really cant wait to see everyone over there and enjoy the new site as much as i do. A massive focus is going to be put towards the blog to not only bring you stories of my shoots and our adventures together but topical photography news and reviews. Its a site that deserves the attention.

thank you so much again guys for following me and for now, i will see you on the DRP side :)

Firstly id like to thank everyone for their messages about whats happening with my blog. Great to know i have some followers and people are genuinely interested in my blog.

So it hasnt been updated in a LOOOONG time and thats my bad, however some good news is just around the corner. I have been working with Icology on a new website and we are in the final throws of it. It is looking absolutely stunning if i do say so myself. I have let the designers and coders have complete reign over the site and am amazed with what they have done.

The new site is completely integrated with my site (not a subsection as this currently is) all internal registration forms for workshops, cleaner and bigger galleries, fornt page news etc. Its pretty banging and the Ajax integration gives it oh so much eye candy!

Keep this space posted as it wont be long to go yet but am absolutely amazed with what has been done and super excited to launch it! :)

Dave!

Mosmann are quickly making a comfortable, fashionable designed underwear and are competing head to head with the big brands – and winning!  I have been lucky enough to receive some of these garments and must say that my CK’s have alot to answer for with the price comparison.

We did the shoot in Studio49 and needed to capture the product shots and also some moving / jumping shots which can be utilised on their site.

This one may be more for the ladies than the guys viewing ;)

Be sure to check out Mosmann Australias website (here) and click the shots for a bigger view

I tried to be a little different with only shooting in ISO 800 for the majority of the shots just to shoot up that end and see the effect as its normally at 100-200 under strobes. I like these and hope you do aswell :)

We had to design his new summer campaign to take him through the next couple of months promotional material. This time the secret weapon of Chris Soll came along for the ride and really worked his magic creating this shoot.

We went with the theme of Timmys Space and wanted to work it on for self promotions however cut out for flyers too. This is some of the imagery we came up with!

Another rocking shoot by Timmy and Chris cant wait till the next!
