Pixel Purity + Nikon D3S + Redrock Micro = Awesome!

As part of the lead up to the release of Pixel Purity, Dan and I are spending the week capturing a series of interviews with some fantastic well established Melbourne photographers across a range of specialty fields.

Kayell Australia have loaded us up with some amazing gear to do the shoots. Check out some of the behind the scene shots of us playing with the equipment and testing it all out in my kitchen last night.



It was a simple setup with a couple of old 500 watt tungsten lamps I had in the office. We used one to flood the background, and used a defuser  on our key light. Simple is best!



We were blown away by the quality of the output we got from the Nikon D3S on live capture video mode.  We had alot of fun setting up the shoot and playing with the gear.
