One year ago today was during the Adelaide Clipsal500 car race. I spent a day at the race, inside and outside the race grounds. Astonishingly, the city was quite empty. So shots like this one below were easier to shoot without people walking through the shot . Maybe this year I'll do this again, but... Continue Reading →
Kingscote Kids (A Photo Series)
I asked, they said yes, they had fun whilst I shot these funny and amazing photographs. I told them I would tag the photographs with 'kingscotekids' and would be on flickr.com. Girl: "Flickr? What's that?" Me: "A website. F L I C K R, no e, dot com. Looks for kingscotekids." Them: "Cool \ Rad... Continue Reading →
In Your Yard
Forever thinking of entrepreneurial ways to make a few extra dollars to supplement my income, I dreamt up yet another interesting idea that incorporates my love of photography and gardening. Plus it enables me to escape the office cubicle, see beyond the partitions, and talk with people who share the same fascination of a well-designed... Continue Reading →
History Defiled
I know pain. A few years back I walked a sixteen-kilometre hike, fourteen with a busted knee. Less than two kilometres into the walk I slid down an embankment to walk around massive boulders, see the ocean up-close and photograph a MASSIVE bee-swarm. I slid down what I thought was a solid soil cliff to... Continue Reading →
Stephen has Needs…
Seems I missed the point of this meme. In order to obtain the 10 things that I apparently need, I'm supposed to use Google to find usable statements that are preceded by 'insert-name-here needs'. To give each statement some validity, I've put the corresponding link upon the end of each.It took a while, but I... Continue Reading →
Stephen Needs…
I always enjoy a meme that involves honesty, truth and the human brain. Found via another Steve, I hereby list my 'needs': Stephen needs nothing more than a new direction. Because he has his health, a brain, the ability to breathe and a roof over his head. Stephen needs to clean out the clutter, metaphorically,... Continue Reading →
Importing Content with CSS
Tonight I found some cool CSS at StopDesign. See that navigation at the top of screen? I just love how the words "recent stuff", "design work", "background info" and "of interest" are brought in via the CSS. I've chopped from the full CSS how this achieved. I won't explain too much, as I'm unsure of... Continue Reading →
Free Speech
Free speech is NOT the freedom to say whatever you want, feel or believe. Particularly believe. Free speech is the freedom to express an opinion and/or oppose a view without fear of repercussion from your employer nor government - regardless of your gender, skin-colour or nationality. This freedom does not say you cannot be arrested... Continue Reading →
Shooting Macro Flowers in February
We have a dozen interesting lens to shoot with, but the one I enjoy most is my Canon 60mm Macro. My wife has the Canon 100mm Macro. Both are amazing lens and shoot different levels of intricacy. But it's always what the artist can find that makes the difference. Whilst some might say the 100mm... Continue Reading →
