Cameron Laird is a Townsville (Nothern Queensland, Australia) based commercial and editorial photographer, who has been published in many Australian and foreign media. Cameron has a great style of photography that I like, mainly in his editorial, where he is able to capture the moment and emotion of the subject. Being a student photograher, what makes me take notice of photographers like Cameron Laird, is there style, and how the colour and staturation, compliment the image. Cameron Laird’s experience show by the diversity of photography he takes, or others in the media industry. Compared to mine which is mainly sport, and bits and pieces of everywhere else, when the opportunity arises.

Recently my canon 1d mk1 died on me. It was a good faithful camera that served me well during my course of study and my work experience work. I was just at the a-league soccer taking some images when it decided to stop working. Well at first I thought it was just one of those usual stupoid canon errors I get, but then when i pushed the trigger button down the unit would turn off for a few seconds and power back up. I thought, being the faithful work horse that it is, I moght as well get it fixed. So I took the unit down to the local service center being told, “yeah its serviceable”, and thought nothing off it. A few days later the service center rang me up and told me that it would be $1400AUS to repair, I nearly fell off my chair. I decided not to get the unit repaired, and hopefully one day on ebay another unit, cheap enough will come up, when I have the money to purchase. I really liked the 1d mk1 for the pure reason that I could do flash sync at 1/500th sec, which was great for basketball, that I shot for my local paper. The paper only every publishes at two mega pixels, so I never worried about it being only four megapixels. I just needed to frame right. I know newer camera’s don’t need flash now with higher, brighter iso range’s, but there out of my budget, and I am still studying, so no income to just go and buy a new unit.

Anyone got a spare 1d mk1 there not using.
