Tips to Better Photographs

I enjoy photography, so I enjoy finding new ways to apply old tricks to make a shot look great. Here are a few of them for your reading pleasure. I hope you find a way to apply, use, and improve upon them. Tip #1 : Space, Space, Space I try to make my subject take... Continue Reading →

Getting into my Groove

One thing I always enjoy doing when I am bored: Designing or redesigning logo's. Because I have good quality programs (now!) and a creative mindset, I like seeing how I would present a logo if it were up to me. Many of them are not publishable because they are businesses that can afford to sue... Continue Reading →

Wittunga

A few months back I visited an amazing public garden in the Adelaide hills - Wittunga Botanic Gardens. This park is filled with South African plants that are suited to the South australian climate, so they flower most of the year. Thankfully the rain had abated and the cloud clover was good for overall-light, so... Continue Reading →

Photo-MeetUp, 31st May, Adelaide CBD

In case you haven't heard, I've organised a 'MeetUp' for Adelaide Photographers. I got this started about a fortnight ago and have been pleasantly surprised by the amazing response saying "YES!". This is more than your average group of people. At this stage we have about 30 people turning up, ranging from Amateurs to full-professionals,... Continue Reading →

Find and Photograph an Australian Echidnea

Photographing Australian wildlife is fraught with many interesting problems. Most of our wildlife lives in the bush, an environment that is either burnt to the ground or overgrown to the point of strangulation. Australia also has land covered in tree-stumps from over-zealous farmers who try to live on lands where water accumulates only where plants... Continue Reading →

Farm Survival

Two photographs from today's walkabout. I found an abandoned homestead that included the old home, the outhouse, garage, shearing shed, storage shed and old concrete water tank! Here are two shots from the day. Many more are to follow.

Panorama of Kangaroo Island

My first panorama image shot yesterday at the Kingscote Jetty is almost a perpetual panorama. Best seen full size. Here are a few more, also shot on Kangaroo Island, to keep you tantalised and amazed at what can be achieved WITHOUT a tripod. Expect more like this: I am having heaps of fun shooting panoramic...

Is it Orton or HDR?

More often I don't read the instructions. They are usually filled with waffle and glossy pictures. Sometimes I find the step-by-step instructions are either inadequate or incomplete. I prefer to jump in feet first and swim my way up, then I re-write the instructions. With that in mind, I've got a small project to do... Continue Reading →

Glass Menagerie

Whilst still on my afternoon-trek into the Adelaide CBD, I found the time of day lent me grand opportunity to capture reflections in the newer glass-menagerie's. I only had a sixty minute window (excuse the pun) to enjoy what I do best, so I aimed my glass at the Police headquarters in Wakefield Street. Here... Continue Reading →

On The Port River

Photographed from the Dolphin Explorer on 15th March 2009. More added to my flickr gallery on an irregular basis as I shot a LOT of photographs that day.
