The secret is out…
Rankin Live: 31st Jul – 18th Sept
The Old Truman Brewery, London
© Rankin
Follow top tips from Jarvis Cocker and Jamie Winstone on how to shoot like
Rankin and become part of the most ambitious and exciting photographic
event of the year.
To get everyone in the mood for the opening of Rankin Live, 31st July, Rankin has commissioned five tongue-incheek
videos of his friends, each following the top snapper’s step-by-step guide to how he creates his distinctive
portraits.
Go online to http://www.rankinlive.com/#/shoot_like_rankin/ and watch Jarvis Cocker, David Bailey, Jamie Winstone,
Max Beasley, and Marc Warren give light-hearted guidance on how to create Rankin-inspired portraits. Then use
their advice to have a go yourself. Flash, focus, sexy-bad-boy-fabulous-pose and shoot!

How to Shoot Like Rankin!

1. Face the camera, don't look at the lens, look through it like you're talking to someone through a window.
2. Smile with your eyes, chin down and out like a chicken, communicate with your eyes.
3. Don't be afraid to use your hands, touch your face like you're touching someone else's - nice and gently.
4. If you have a big collar, use it, or sunglasses are good.
5. Blow your hair up and around your face. If you don't have a wind machine - use a hairdryer.
6. Try jumping up and down, that's always fun!
7. Try a classic kate moss, turn to the side, show a little bit of back, chin down and onto the shoulder and
narrow your eyes, it makes you look sexy.
8. Have fun and experiment. If you don't like the first shots, delete and try again.

If you can’t make it to the exhibition, or haven’t been selected to take part in Shoot Me, Rankin!, you can still take part in Rankin Live. Use these videos and the information below as your guide, shoot like Rankin and upload your portrait onto the Rankin by You Gallery. Find out more about this spectacular exhibition at www.rankinlive.com, where you can also apply to be part of the live shoot.

Lens arrived yesterday from SRS - fast delivery and well parcelled. Thanks guys!

It's a nice light lens - weighs a little more than my DA 18-55, but feels fine when attached to the K10D. Due to the heavy rain yesterday, I didn't have a cheance to try it outdoors. However a few test shots (of the family)at the 50mm end provided sharp clean results. Very pleased so far and can't wait to try it outdoors.

George.

Hi Darlene,

A thousand welcomes from Ireland.

George.

Well things have moved on and I've just taken the plunge!!

Just bought a Da 50-200mm from SRS on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190319279167

They don't ship beyond the UK on their own website, but via eBay they ship to Europe. I don't understand the difference, but who cares.

Picked it up for GBP £99 plus £15 postage, so I'm a happy camper.

Regards,

George.

Thanks Greytop,

It just proves the old adage - always read the
small-print!!

Any other site selling this and which ships to the Republic of Ireland???

Thanks,

George.

Looking for something cheap but good quality in this focal range myself so this thread has been most useful.

SimplyElectronics have this at £120 which looks like a good deal.
