So it’s my first blog! Bear with me while I get the hang of things!

So the last few months have seen me flat out getting the sutdion up and running. I now have all my studio lighting and equipment in place and just practicing as much as possible! I’m using a great system, FX 400 Elinchrom and so far seems fairly easy to use. Although it’s a different story when I get some different models in front of the camera, I’m still thinking I might need to buy a flash meter as it will most probably make life easier in getting the right F stop to shutter speed. It depends if the bottomless pit has anything left.

So I’m feeling positive and looking forward to creating a good portfolio. So keep reading and you can follow my photographic journey!

Bye for now! Peter Franz

Well I must say it’s been a very full on week, got a nice little job this week photographing a house to be produced as a print on canvas.

Well the new year is here and I have a feeling it’s going to be a good year lots of good things are going to develop with the photography. I am entering a reasonable amount of competitions this year to get my name out there and to get some critique to let me know how I am fairing. I will also be posting some of my images on this blog and would love to hear what you think!

Hectic Few Weeks But Lots Of Great Images!
Well its been a hectic few weeks her at Peter Franz Photography,with getting ready for my exhibition, printing, matting and framing. I’ve also been getting out and about taking photos, I managed to visit a couple of winery’s and get some great photos of grape pressing. I ‘ll have them up on the web site by Friday.

Well I’m back again its taken awhile for me to start writing, were all the months have gone I just don’t know but I need to make more of an effort to keep the blog up to date.otherwise you wont know whats happening at Peter Franz Photography.Have been very busy getting my business structure in place and I think I’am finally there.give and take a few months.

Well Christmas is nearly upon us and where it came from who only knows, it’s been a hectic year but a good year achieved a lot. Most of it in getting myself organised in work structure, were I want to be heading in the coming year.

Well that’s an other year gone, new year was a quite event sitting out under the stars in a great location watching the moon go by and of course snapping a few photos along the way. And I am glad it’s over as it was a hectic year at Peter Franz Photography.

Well it has been that long since I had some holidays but they seem to be a bit of a blur already the only thing that reminds me that I had holidays is
sitting in the studio at Peter Franz Photography sorting images taken on holiday. Sorting, editing and printing
then of course matting framing and get them into the gallery. Its full on and believe it or not I love every minute of it
it does get tiring but you get through it. Not much longer and I’ll have some new images on the web site .

Hello! Well I actually got to writing a list of what I need to do and by all accounts it’s actually getting shorter, that’s only because I haven’t added anymore as yet.
I think one of the biggest headaches when setting up Peter Franz Photography has been how I want to operate and function then ether scrounging or creating all the forms
and systems you need to have in place to make sure that all runs smoothly and also to be able to track progress of Peter Franz Photography as it heads into a new year.

Even thought its quite business wise hard to get time to rest these days always seem to find something to d
or it might be just me can’t sit still for to long. Have been doing a bit of maintenance at Peter Franz Photography
painting just finifhing of what I left behind when I built the place. Thats the trouble it all catches up with you sooner or later,
making great progress getting all my wedding information together should have the page up and running on the web by the end of next week.
And of course a lot of this is due to my young daughter Sarah, because without her help and keeping me on track I would be really behind at times
Got to get down to sorting out images in Lightroom to much rubbish still there. Have a bad habit of keeping to much so out it goes.

Well finally up and running with the wedding information it took quite a while to compile it all, thank you very much to my daughter Sarah without her help
it would have taken me a lot longer. I gave her a rough outline and she put it together. A job well done I most admit that I would sometimes be struggling at Peter-Franz Photography
without her input (not that Dad always listens ) But on the whole we work well together. all that’s left to do now is add the images and that I am working on at the present so
keep a eye on the wedding page. Also have placed an add in the Buynip ther dong a lift out wedding guide.
If you’d like more info don’t hesitate to drop in and see me at Peter Franz Gallery  / Photography and have a look at the standard of my photographic work love to see you .

Well I’ve had a bit of time to do a bit more learning in Photoshop its a on going process always something to get your teeth into, mind you I have to be careful what I get my teeth into they have a tendency to fall out or break.
Well about a week ago my main computer decided to have a rest and refused to boot up after spending the best part of the day trying everything I know with no success it went for a holiday. So while its having its rest at he rehab centre its getting windows 7 but on which will be a great improvement on Vista ( I Hope) I have a second machine thank goodness or I,d be going nuts, Don’t we become reliant on these machines! But not having Lightroom or Photoshop on this machine I can still access the web and do some training Couple of Days yipeeeeeeeeeeee back to normal. And between all this a little bit of painting on the building trying to get most of it done before winter.
