A past work colleague, who is a very talented Web Designer / Developer, SteveK, has in the last couple of years turned his hand towards photography. He’s always been visually creative so it made sense that he plunge into the DSLR world and combine his talents. The result? This year he has made it as a finalist in Canon’s EOS Photo5 competition. Not a small feat, considering there are thousands upon thousands of entries. I believe the short list has been brutally whittled down to only 60.

Here’s his entry which he has entitled “His & Hers“:

Prize for Canon Photo5 Competition

What does the winner get? The answer is a brand new Canon 5D Mark II Digital SLR complete with 24-105mm lens (this is what I use).  If he wins, I think it will be perfect timing, as he has his FIRST paid wedding shoot in a couple of weeks.

You also get to hang out with one of the world’s best photographers, Chris Bray and visit some picturesque photo locations:

So once again, please help my old buddy out and vote for SteveK!

As a parting note, here’s my favourite photo from his Flickr Stream:

Told ya his good

My friend Steve Koukoulas is an extremely creative person. When he got a Canon 5D 2 years ago, he applied his creativity to photography and this is one of his many delicious pieces.

Alien robots have come to Earth from outer space but with the recent spate of attacks from other sentient beings, this group wanted to make the world feel comfortable so they try to mingle in with Earths customs by picking up an umbrella and holding out a friendly hand.
