Hi All,
I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and got a few snaps of Carmen Electra.

The next two were a bit ordinary as the security man was (not sure if it was intentional or not) blocking my flash, and I wasn't shooting raw, yes normally I do...hehe

by **shutterbug** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:53 pm

Hot Hot Hot very nice Geoff :shock:

by **shutterbug** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:54 pm

Where was she?

by **Catcha** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:55 pm

Check out those lips :lol:

by **Matt. K** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:55 pm

Well done! And you just happened to have your camera with you and you just happened to get all the settings right and you just happened to have the right focal length lens on the camera and you just happened to get perfect focus and you just happened to get supurb composition. What a fluke!

by **Link** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:55 pm

Well done mate, especially the first one is really sharp and looks like those stars pics in women's magazines... Who knows, maybe you can sell it to a paparazzi agency here in Sydney?!? :lol:

She was in Sydney at the Virgin Music store signing copies of her latest exercise DVD, it was a tough job but hey, someone has to do it

Maybe I can?

I think Geoff was waiting all morning for her :wink:

Did you get a signed DVD?

Ok ok..I had a tip off, and was there with plenty of time to take some test shots of where she'd be sitting

Nope - I had to get in and get out - FAST

Great photos, Geoff!

I'm envious of those eyelashes! :shock:

by **birddog114** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:10 pm

I want a bite :lol:

by **MHD** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:14 pm

Yikes... Geoff Paparatizi!
That first one is golden! those lashes! ooooogaaa!

Seriously Geoff... that is serious pro quality results...

by **MHD** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:14 pm

oh yeah and what gear was this shot on (lens, flash?)

by **JordanP** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:15 pm

glorious shots - though I would fix the red eye in the first shot. Were you using the on board flash - or did the SB800 do this?

Cheers,

by **sirhc55** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:19 pm

Superb shots Geoff of a delicious lady

by **rokkstar** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:21 pm

<wishes>
That first pic is her expressing delight and joy at seeing me walk into the store
</wishes>

Nice pics Geoff - tasty bit of crumpet!!

This was shot with the 70-300G lens, at focal length 270mm, F5.6 and yep - the SB-800

THanx all for your kind comments, it was fun to shoot.

by **MHD** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:23 pm

wow.... That 70-300G can pull some suprises some times!

Yet again Geoff, you have proven the power of the much maligned 70-300G

by **Glen** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:54 pm

Very nice Geoff :wink:

by **xerubus** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:07 pm

nicely done.... did you manage to ask if she would do any TFP shoot with you... :lol:

by **birddog114** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:09 pm

he's getting in trouble :lol:

I've just checked with her :lol:

she hasn't signed any model release form with him yet! :lol:

damn... missed your opportunity Geoff... always get the release forms signed... :lol:

by **Onyx** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:25 pm

So much I miss about Sydney!

I would kill to have been in the presence of Carmen Electra! She was awesome as the ditzy, bouncy, flirty MTV music video co-host dudette with Kurt Loader from what I remember of my mid-teens.

Well done Geoff, great captures. I'm jealous!

Speaking of MTV, didn't you just have a gig with them?

by **Glen** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 5:04 pm

My brother works at Luna Park in maintenance and building, just dropped in 5 mins ago and was telling me how 2 of his guys walked in on Carmen Electra changing, she didn't even blink, though they did :shock:

An even better story was the air conditioning went in the green room for the celebrities, one of the guys goes in to fix it. A guy from Simple Plan (a band), start abusing him (as if he broke it!), and then goes on to say "what are we, some sort of joke around here?". They guy looks him straight in the eye and says "Well, that is the word on the street around here". The so called 'star' was suitably unimpressed. :wink:

I didn't need her to sign anything - just just smiled and winked at me and I knew everything would be ok...

and then I woke up

The curse of working late on a Friday :cry:

BTW Geoff, would you be able to revisit the thread you started a few days ago about A1 enlargements, there are a few questions that I'd love to see answered

by **leek** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 8:52 pm

Geoff wrote:I'm perhaps being slightly paranoid Birdy - but I'm not up for a law suit

Why would you get a law suit - you took a photo of a celebrity in a public location - that's a newsworthy event in my book... Did your photos portray her in a bad way - absolutely not...

IMHO you can publish those photos on the web without any fear...

P.S. If you do get sued, the advice I offered was general in nature and could not possibly have taken your personal circumstances into account. :lol:

Slight admission: I was 'working' for the photos

After the shoot I was off to the HQ so they could beam my images to the UK. See my predicament now?

Look at the previous few posts

You wuss. Just keep em up

There is a paparazzi agency in Sydney, can't remember the name of them. However the owner is from Geelong and has agencies all over the world, I think he's based in London now. Watched a huge documentary on him in the UK.

Darryn Lyons is his name, and he owns Big Picture.

Seriously if there was nobody else about and you're the only one with the shot. Then you might get some money for it. Probably bugger all when you come to think about it, because it's only Carmen Electra. However if that'd been Becks and Posh or Mary and Frederick you might make a few quid.

Those agency are sucks! :evil:

they make good monies on your sweat and pay you as much as a peanut :cry:

.
The only way you can make good money for yourself is a freelance photogs and can freely sell your pics to anyone who offers you a decent dough.

by **dooda** on Sat Mar 05, 2005 1:38 pm

Geoff you are pure evil. You put them up for a quick taster and then pull them off so when the rest of us think we're going to see her we get the red X's. Please erase the entire thread so that every person who comes on here doesn't think they're going to get wicked candids of Carmen, then only read about how awesome they were. Granted, reading about them is pretty awesome, but seeing them may add another dimension, I wish I never came on here tonight. I wish I never new this site existed. I wish I was never born...okay omit the last one as well as the middle one. The rest of my statement stands though.
Edit: I just checked, there are NO pics of Carmen Electra on the internet. Double crap!!! :lol:
