Auki Henry is an Australian media personality and presenter based in Darwin.Canon vs Nikon? It is an age old comparison of the two best known brand heavyweights in the SLR category, more so in the amateur arena where there is a much larger choice of product available.
Let the Confusion Begin: There is a certain 'fan boy' element in this equation, die hard brand lovers with blinkers on who have fallen in love with the name rather than the merits. Chuck into this mix the 'stats geek fanboy', an uber fanboy who likes to talk pure numbers and settings and you are left with a huge vortex of confusion for those trying to start off on the beginning of their own DSLR adventure. Expense is obviously a limiting factor; brand lenses are not cheap to make, and thus not cheap to buy for the average consumer.
Various factors require them to be built as proprietary hardware so they are not very interchangeable between different brands of camera bodies without some compromise or the purchase of additional adapters. The reality for most people is once they start down the road of a particular brand it isn't financially viable to switch later if they decide they want to try a new model from a different brand. It is true their are definitely noticeable differences in the 'look' of pictures that come out of these brands and their associated lenses and debate will inevitably touch on the topic and the merits of each 'look', and this is where I sit on the fence.
I have the good fortune currently of owning both these brands of DSLR, a Nikon D90 and a Canon 7D with a small compliment of lenses, and I can safely say I still can not decide which ones I like best, either in terms of functionality or the 'look' of the pictures I produce from them.

Visual imagery is a highly subjective area, there is no one particular look that will appeal to everyone. I have never found that arguing the merits of the end product. ie the photographs, can be rationalised by statistics of any kind. In reality the people viewing your photos will enjoy them for what they are, quite probably with only a cursory interest in how they were taken or what settings were used. My own thinking is just get out there and enjoy taking pictures. I have plenty of still shots taken with my old standard 'point and shoot' consumer camera that people comment on as being fantastic simply because the shot was well composed, they often are surprised that those shots were not even from an SLR. - Auki
Designs by Auki Henry 2010.The requests seem to be coming in quickly lately. The people over at Universal Xtreme asked me to do the artwork for their merchandise range, the brief was to design a gaming inspired logo for their team which would be used on the cafepress service to produce a whole range of merchandise that could be bought reasonably cheaply. The logo needed to look good on a number of products, both dark and light and it needed to reflect the teams "tags" [UX] that are their recogniseable brand online.
As chance would have it I have been right in the middle of a rebuild of my computer, so I opted not to use 3D studio Max for solids as I traditionally would have, instead this time the work was done entirely in Photoshop, which was easier and faster in the long run. I have worked with Universal Xtreme many times before, the team used to comprise mostly of game server administrators who used to run official medium-sized online gaming platforms for a number of Australian ISP's.
Now they are a relaxed bunch who enjoy the gaming scene casually rather than having it consume all of their time. I have found designing for gaming groups over the years to be the most fun, they expect flashy and slightly abstract designs from experience and are appreciative and willing to spread the word about your work. Unlike some commercial jobs I have taken on which virtually kill the soul when it comes to compromising your own creative ideas. True, I make very little on the former, whilst the latter can pull in a couple of hundred dollars an hour, but in the end my sanity really enjoys the break and the opportunity to let loose once in a while, not to mention the rewards of seeing people genuinely enjoy and appreciate your work.
