We produced about 20 Photo mugs for those hungry people (mainly from PCCC,
thanks Kaves).
Canon brought out their latest offering to the Digital SLR world - the 5D.
This is a full frame Digital SLR which should blow the competition away! (My
birthday's coming up soon, so start saving up... hint hint)

At P triple C, we've had another 'Live' event with over 150 people. It was
called Echo Live and was a reunion from the TBC and LightHouse Camps held in
July. The next 'Live' event is going to be huge with Youth Groups from a
rumoured five churches invited and Jade Lewis sharing her testimony. I'm trying
to get Gordon from the imports to come and jam with Naomi, man that will be one
drum battle worth coming for!
Youth Alive was another huge event we just witnessed earlier this month. I
hope to have some photos up soon.
We'll be running Workshop 1 on the 3rd on September at Cambridge Conference
Centre with Workshop 2 a couple of weeks later on the 17th September. Please
email or call us for bookings.
Photos from this year's Adrenalin -
Youth Alive. unfortunately, the complimentary tickets from Joondalup Resort
were seated tickets meaning we couldn't get close to the stage so
all the shots were taken with the 28 ~ 135 USM IS zoom and the Canon 20D.
Photos of P3C - Ignite Live
By the way, for the Team A guys, you've been asking about the shots from last
year's Telstra Rally Australia Girls, so here they are -
The Girls of Rally
Australia.
OK Joe, the Girls of Rally Australia has been updated by your request.
July 2005
Winter's ending, we've had some great sunsets and lovely moon photo
opportunities here in Perth.
A quick plug:
In my search for sharper images from the Canon SLRs I tried various settings and
actions using PhotoShop's UnSharp Mask but was never really happy so I started
trying various plug-ins. Then I came to
Focal Blade, it was easy in Novice Mode
and gave a lot of control ability with out the halos associated with Sharpening.
So, I contacted the
Plugin Site about licensing my demo version. Well,
within hours of my request, I was emailed by Harald Heim who authored the
software and runs the Plugin Site! Now not only can I tell you how good the
latest version of Focal Blade but I can offer our students a discounted price on
this great Sharpening tool.
The Canon 20D is great but during our
TBC (Youth) Camp I got my first Error
99 and the Battery Grip refused to work for a couple of days. That might have
been a god thing as it reduced the weight of the camera with the 28-135 USM IS
lens I was carrying most of the 4 days. Funny thing is the 300D hit its worse in
terms of Error 99s at last years TBC camp. Was this the work of the evil one or
simply the cameras baulking at shooting so much everyday? I shot over 1.800
photos in the 4 days!!
This site will be significantly revamped, I'm working on a few new pages and
thinking of changing some of the structure. So keep visiting us.
Keep visiting us, we are rebuilding the Photo Galleries and will include some
of the images from the Canon 300D (Photos of the Imports, SonshineFM Radiothon & Youth Alive added).
New Workshop dates

April 2005
Wow this year's flying or is it we are getting busier? Our planned updates to
this site have been on hold for a while but we will be posting the new pages on
our Design & Printing samples as well as some new Photo Galleries including one
on some of the weddings we have covered.
January 2005
It was still hot in Perth. After a glorious 3 weeks in Singapore, we are back
in Perth. Hey! Sting is in town for a Tsunami Concert. My poor cousin Gabby had
a photo opportunity with this legend and his wife Trudi but her Ricoh Digicam
decided it didn't want to work. Now, I'm in her bad books for recommending and
supplying the Ricoh! Well, it was the best choice at the time given budgetary
constraints. Let's hope the good guys at Ricoh will sort out the camera for her
before the next big star arrives :)
The last few months were full of digicams, we supplied 2 Panasonic FX 7s, and
a couple of Canon IXUS models. We also got the new Canon 20D. This is one
sweet and fast camera.
I've been getting acquainted with my new Canon 300D.
What a lovely camera! Haven't tried the auto modes yet been happy in Manual and
Program mode. Just got to polish up my post processing, but this is so much fun.
Henry Lassiter has retired from Colorvision.
Have fun Henry!
Hey! Sorry about the absence but I've been busy
designing Business Cards with photos on them for some new clients.
I'll post a page of examples soon.
PMA's got all the new DigiCams! 8 MegaPixel seems to
be the target with Sony, Nikon and a couple of other manufacturers launching
their 8MP Prosumer cameras.
Check out the new entry level DSLRs from Canon &
Nikon! Canon's 300D has been out for a couple of months and at around A$1,900
with the kit lens its got to be a winner (got my order in, thanks Lin). Nikon
announced (and I picked up a brochure of) their D70 which should arrived in this
part of the World in April/May with an estimated price of A$2,000 ~ A$2,400 with
lens. This offering is packed with features, to me the idea of instant on and
ready to shoot with 3 frames per second and up to 199 shots continuously is
simply amazing! All the paparazzi will want one, Hey, even I want one! Again
check out www.dpreview.com for
Phil's reviews.
Phil Askey's posted his prereview of the new
Sony F828
Digital Camera. It's an amazing 8MegaPixel,
7x Optical Zoom, plus features to make me drool.
[NewsFlash] F828 disappoints: Purple Fringing and high noise
levels not accepted by many buyers.

The Canon 300D started developing Err 99s and it keeps getting worse! Need to
reset the camera everytime it gets it. Canon help!
Thanks to ColorVision, I-Sight and Perth Pro, we have received the
ColorVision PrintFix.
After using it on an Epson 2100 and a 1270, I'm closer to creating colour
matched prints, but its still not trouble free as there are so many variables
involved. I'm almost convinced that I need a Mac (wash your mouth with soap,
Henry). On the 2100 I found the Epson profiles to be better suited than anything
I could create with the PrintFix (maybe I'm not using it well or its a faulty
unit?).
Perth Royal Show - Oct 2003
The Perth Royal Show went well. After a pretty exhausting but enjoyable
(apart from a couple of difficult customers) 8 solid days of 8:30am to
10:15pm. We sold hundreds of Photo Stickers as well as over 150 photo
mugs. Many customers coming back for more during the show and lots of
people wanting to know where we operated. We are now planning to run Photo
Sessions with the Stickers & Photo Mugs at different locations around
Perth and we will announce them here. We are also going to be marketing
the Printers and the Photo Mug System for local Photo Minilabs and Camera
shops. Please email us if you are interested.
iEdit combines with Nu Designs and enters the
Perth Royal Show. We had a great time promoting our New Photo Mugs
and new D2T2 Photo printers. We sold a lot of Photo Mugs and Photo Stickers to
people who enjoyed their brief time posing in our 'Studio'.
We moved the Feedback button to "What people are saying about us"
in iEdit Events.

ChildWise Launch up.(removed in 2005)

Sept 25th 2003.
 Wow!
What a day! It was my Birthday and I had a busy day planned. It started at
12:10am with picking George Coles from the International Airport. Spent the
early morning designing & working with QuickSigns' Richard Huggins to get our
Royal Show Sign. Then it was to the Showgrounds for a quick inspection of the
Stall. Found the Fluoro light's cover smashed on the ground and the Light
fastened to the wrong spot. A quick call to Jean at Reece's got it all fixed.
Then collected the mounted Posters from Creative Matboards and I was off to pick
Carissa of Hi Touch from the Domestic Airport. After a couple of circuits of the
Car Park, I managed to 'make' a spot near the Qantas Terminal. As I got out of
the car, I heard and saw a man on a Harley ride through pedestrians on the
footpath and through the main doors of the terminal. By the time I got to the
doors people were milling around and the man had parked his bike in front of the
security counter was standing with his hands in the air shouting. He wore a
Leather jacket which he took off and threw to the ground. He also had on a
backless leather waistcoat that looked heavy. That's when the airport staff
started clearing people out of the terminal. People were still entering the
terminal unaware of the situation. The man said things like, "I surrender", "I'm
a good man", "My parents are under threat". He took off his waistcoat and with
hands still in the air knelt down and later lay spread on the ground. I fired up
my trustee Sony F717 and fired off a few frames. Everyone was ushered to the
carparks. I managed to find Carissa and explain what was happening. After the
Police had cleared the Terminal and Carissa found her luggage, I spoke to a few
reporters and that's when it went crazy as all of the reporters wanted to see my
photos and the 717 became a star on all the News channels. I think Sony owes me
for the massive promotion! The Police noticed the commotion and wanted to
interview me. They were very polite and obligingly allowed me to keep the
photos. While I was being interviewed by the Reporters, Camera crew and Police,
poor Carissa had to stand and wait for me.
[
2003] Went to PRA's Fastrack
Master Class on Glamour Photography 
presented by Justin Aveling.
It was run in a very relaxed manner.
Although poor Justin was feeling
terribly under the
weather, he soldiered on bravely.
Accolades to his lovely model Amy (I
hope I spelt that right). Angelina Jolie, you've got competition.
She was as very patient with us. As usual Max & family and Rob were
very helpful and friendly.
Thanks guys.
If you want a fridge Calendar with emergency phone numbers, please email us
and we'll send one to you.
If you want to design a new business card and get it printed at very
competitive rates give us a call.
2002 - Just before Christmas, we purchased a ColorVision Spyder to calibrate all our
monitors (CRT & LCD).
Henry from ColorVision was extremely friendly and helpful. But we got slugged with a hefty Import Duty
(nothing to do with Colorvision). I have had a trouble-free time with the
Spyder and the Calibration Software
(OptiCal). Now if only I can get the
profiles for the Heidelberg printers!
If you're looking for a Calibrating tool for your computer monitors, don't go
past ColorVision's Spyder.
http://www.colorvision.com/
or email Henry Lassiter and tell him
Henry of iEdit recommended the Spyder.
You can also get them from PRA if you're
here in Perth.
