Very clever dude is Mathias, ive always loved his stuff, ive even purchased some of his plans:)

love heavy carved leather top job

ahh roadie I was there, the said man was indeed speeches and admitted it

fingers crossed we can make this. would hate to miss out on the best shoot.

No worries Rob, Once I have converted the RAW and fitted them onto a DVD Ill post you one off.

Also looks like my photos are a better shot than my arrows..as I dont even seem to appear on the results card

Probably a good thing

thanks all, and yes Grahame I cant believe I forgot to lock the exposure or white balance off of auto. Im sure I had done that but settings prove otherwise.

As for video, I havent even pushed that button on this beasty yet

check it out on youtube http://youtu.be/SXFvYwkxc8c First attempt at this sort of thing, have learned a few things to avoid for next time. Image taken every 5 min. compressed into movie of 2sec per frame. Sunrise showing the muster tent and practice area. Yes i am in this one.. very first few frames...

As requested a picture of me..well back of my head thanks Tony:)

and a special. broken arrow in the making. Shaft is in two, fletches to the right and point end just under frog

great effort Zega, it looks terrific!

good on ya Sue,
I realised after i got back I didnt get too many shots of the course itself, so thanks for filling in the gaps
I admit It was a tad hard carrying camera and archery gear.

and the winners


Bit of a bodge those last blocks. My batch script got scrambled and not alot of time to see why...anyway

Im done..Hope there were not too many and i managed to catch most

the ladies can be found here

Thanks for the positive input. Still learning and ever mindful of the balance between being labeled as unwanted paparazzi and missing memories or people:) Nothing worse than being the one person whos face never seems to appear. I hope I have managed to get you all..somewhere along the line;) the com...

Hope I have not gotten names and spellings wrong..hey I only take the pictures

A few more left, winners etc, ill do them later on.

Enjoy.

Almost done.

hill and dale they marched

Finally some shots of the shoot

Around the camp

some of the ecentrics which you simply wouldnt find at a trad shoot, are not listed below

One of the great things of any tradshoot is watching the barriers of age, genre, demographic and geographic labels just melt into oblivion.

out of order sorry

Distance is nothing,
time is nothing,
threat of bushfires, pales to insignificance.
Wisemans Ferry 2013 was on and the die hard faithfuls of trad archery would let nothing bar their way.

Home safe n sound from what was another great shoot. Wisemans always has the cake and eat it experience.....thanks to all the helpers, great to catch up with so many faces, congrats to those who took out the placements but really does anyone who attends this shoot actually loose? :) photos up soon :)

Sorry to hear that Guy and Gazza, we'll miss you

hmm Ive always wanted one of them woodworkers fully sealed ventilated and sound proofed helmets.
Maybe now is a good time to invest:)

ooo yeah nice combo..works for me

Thanks guys,
Im still learning and there is rather alot to learn

I have refrained from posting to a photographic forum cause I found them to be ...erm rather like a bunch of compound shooters.....sorry no offense

some more.
Learnin photography whilst in Tasie

Love the black n white, thanks Jeff
