| Auki & Ed on location at Hidden Valley - May 2011 Picture by Mark Hamilton |
Here's one of the few times you wont see me in front of the camera for a HighRPM feature.
I recently went down with the media team to film some promotional footage for Hidden Valley to be used for future TV advertising, the schedule over the two days was pretty hectic which left limited time to get my head around any presentation material so I opted to concentrate just on filming. As habit would have it though, we couldn't help ourselves and inevitably altered the schedule to shoot some extra material for a highlights reel, so with the help of HighRPM's newest presenter, Heather Banham, we quickly stitched together a rough running script for it. We used a variety of cameras and lenses for the footage, utilising the Sony and the Panasonic AG-HMC41E for lightweight handheld shots and fast pans and two Canon bodies ( 5DMKII & 7D ) with 70-200mm and 24-70mm to get some nice DOF. It was one of the best weekends of filming we have done, we had a great crew down there and despite the sore legs from hours of standing, crouching, climbing barriers and shifting gear it flew by. The noise of the doorslammers from up close, not to mention the smell of methanol and the vibration through the body as they accelerate hard off the line is very addictive!
Darwin Ice Hockey feature

| The Darwin Ice Hockey Team are undefeated internationally. |
Born from the intrepid rocksitters mentality, laid back tropical Darwin has been thrust into the spotlight once again with the laid back Darwin Rocksitter competetive sports arm.
The tropical city in Australia's north is internationally competitive in a winter sport. Don't try to draw parallels however to the cool runnings of Jamaica's Olympic bobsled team, the Darwin Ice Hockey team are amazingly undefeated, even against traditional ice hockey playing nations such as the Nordic, Russians and North American teams. In a celebration of the true Aussie spirit. Our iconic breakfast spread vegemite have paid homage to them in a fitting tribute to Darwin athelticism.

| The Plankers are Wankers range |
Well I guess it had to happen eventually, the crew over at the design beureau released their official range of "Plankers are Wankers" merchandise.
From most reports I have seen the public is divided about 50/50 on this topic. I myself ... prefer parkour :-)

| Darwin's girl next door Maddison Ash Photo: Auki Henry |
Here's a post with a little bit of a difference from the norm, I am a bit rusty on composites so this is the first one in a while, and the inset shot wasn't actually set up to be a composite ( so the lighting aint quite right, but then again I am picky )
Maddison Ash is a recent discovery, friend and fellow photographer Mark Hamilton did a shoot for an advertising campaign recently which was actually Maddison's first exposure to a pro photo shoot. Her natural beauty was evident, nothing forced about her smiles and very confident in stature.
We got quite a lot done on that first shoot in such a short amount of time, and admittedly the time was shorter as I slightly miscalculated the speed of the setting sun by about 20 minutes. Luckily we have a few more shoots with Maddison to come this year.

| Action from the air at the 40th Anniversary Kamfari Race, Darwin NT Photo: Auki Henry |
HighRPM sent a media team down to Black Jungle ( just south of Darwin, Australia ) on the weekend to cover the gruelling 4 hour "Kamfari", one of the best known and toughest motorcycle endurance events on the Australian calendar.
Due to factors such as track length, terrain and the hot tropical conditions at an event like this it is usually hard to get many cameras to prime locations. Our crew had a camera on track at all times to get in amongst the action, so to get a few more angles it was necessary to take to the air. Here's a small 'behind the scenes' ride with Heather Banham and Katie Abraham who accompanied me up to get a birds eye perspective of the action.
