DEEP DIVING – HALCO SLIDOG 105 LUMO

By Bradley Sissins

Studio - Halco

Creating a lure diving into the water is a bit tricky but add a large super heavy stickbait and then it becomes a real change. The Halco Slidog is heavy, as soon as it hits the water it moves that quick that it’s easy to miss the shot. A few trial runs on getting...

STUDIO - DUO INTERNATIONAL

No comment

The Devil Is In The Details derives from the earlier phrase, “God is in the detail” expressing the idea that whatever one does should be done thoroughly; i.e. details are important. This is particular to this subject when I was asked to shoot some front cover shots for DUO Internationals 2021 catalogue. Shooting a...

Perspective Control Lenses or Tilt Shift have always been my favourite lens for product work, nothing comes close to their unique design and abilities based on the Scheimpflug principle These lenses enable photography to transcend the normal restrictions of depth of field and perspective. In this case this lure is lying flat on the...

That last moment of light in the Alps can really change the whole mood, one minute it is howling 40 plus knots with horizontal snow and minus temperatures to all of a sudden, just as the sun sets, a ray of warm light from a sinking sun breaks through, the wind drops for a...

Love getting challenged to do a particularly difficult image. When I was asked to shoot some front cover shots for DUO Internationals 2021 catalogue, it took some real planning into doing it as I wanted it to be perfect. Shooting a lure front on while retaining full details along its length is technically impossible...

Great to be able to shoot the whole colour range and promotional images all for one series of lures. The new Halco Slidog 105 is the latest in the Slidog “litter”. Large flat surfaces like found on the Halco Slidog present different challenges in regard to reflection from camera/lens. What does this...

Fishing rods are one of the hardest items I do to get perfect. The combination of a slim tubular items with multiple colours, metals, cork or eva etc make it challenging. I began shooting them during film days before digital, my setup still remains the same… a fully custom-made Lightbox....

By Bradley Sissins

Uncategorized

Over the years I’ve owned multiple versions of Nikon’s 20mm lenses like the 2.8D and 1.8G versions, while both were good at their times, new cameras and sensors push the boundaries of what may be classed as a good lens in the past. The latest Z version is a whole new beast, this fast,...
