Thank you everyone for the kind comments, Likes and Awards.
So stoked to have been announced as a finalist for the "Show Movement" contest too (What the hell).
This was actually the first time i took out my camera after buying it.
I have since been learning how to use it, and am completely hooked!
I will try to upload some new photos for you all over the next couple of days.
Cheers!

Behind The Lens

Location
I took this sitting on the back of my dads Triumph Rocket III, the things a weapon. I think we were on the way back from lunch.
Time
I guess it was after lunch time. Cant be too sure though
Lighting
it was cloudy when we left and it was cold on the back of that bike so i was super happy when the sun came out to warm my soul. That shadow from the tree looks crazy too!
Equipment
So this shot was actually taken the day i got my new Sony A7II, i literally pulled it out of the box, slapped my canon 16-35 f/4 on it and took off with dad. I made the decision to shoot digital when i started my diploma course in December so It's my first full frame digital camera. Geez they cost some money!
Inspiration
Just the fact that Dad's a legend!
Editing
Not really, i just do a slight tone curve adjustment and a bit of sharpening.
In my camera bag
My bag would usually be found containing My a7II of course, canon 16-35 f/4 with Metabones adapter (that way i can steal everyone elses lenses), sony 70-200 f/4, cannon ex-rt 600 speedlight with transmitters for a little off camera goodness, 110cm reflector disk, a cheapo soft housing that i found on ebay and customised with duct tape, duct tape, 2X lacie hard drives, spare batteries and memory cards, my macbook, a note pad, a book to read when the lights no good, a big old water bottle and some carrots because they are good for my eyes.
Feedback
The less you think about dropping your camera the better, same goes shooting around water. and learn to hold onto things with your legs instead of your arms. I also highly recommend sony's image stabiliser, it makes shooting in bumpy situations a bit less of a task.
