My Four Twin Brothers

I've accomplished the seemingly impossible: I've cloned myself!. After many phone calls around Australia, all four of us met in my backyard for this photo shoot. Below are my four clone brothers wearing two of my Redbubble shirts and two t-shirts purchased from other Redbubble artists, and me wearing an un-official Apple iPhone shirt! Yes,...

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 →

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...

Banners Built with GIMP

I had a bit of fun last night with GIMP. I had an idea to build an image that incorporated my Redbubble photography. Whilst I like the results, I'm still not sure how or if I will incorporate into them into the layout of my site. I've already had someone say to me "Hey, that'd... Continue Reading →

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 →

Adelaide Panorama

This afternoon my wife and I went into the Adelaide CBD to shop at the Central Markets. Thankfully she let me take a walk into Victoria Square with my camera. After the sun had hidden itself behind the Hilton Hotel, I decided there was still enough light in the sky to attempt a panorama. Without... Continue Reading →

Strobing with a Flash-Gun

I found this interesting tutorial on flickr.com: Setting & Using the 580EX II Multi Strobe Function. I have adjusted the instructions slightly, modifying sentence structure and highlighting important words. Read on below photograph for instructions showing how flash-strobing is possible with the Canon 580EX II. I look forward to trialling this shortly. Setting up Camera... Continue Reading →

Caught on Film

Last weekend whilst searching the house for my misplaced macro lens, I stumbled upon my old film-camera that shot 800+ photographs of New Zealand back in 2001. That's around 40 x 36f rolls of film! The Canon EOS 500 [Image] was quite a formidable camera for its time. But with the advent of the digital... 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 →
