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 →

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 →

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.

Painting with Children

Last week I was on a five day short holiday with my wife and two nieces. As usual (and you would expect), I photographed about five hundred photographs each day. Mostly of the girls, but those photographs are restricted for family viewing. What I enjoyed photographing most was their artwork, the seascape, landscape, pelicans and... 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 →

Portraits

I don't often get many opportunities to photograph humans, either in portrait or activity. The best places seem to be anyone congregating in a public place, at a party of wine-drinkers, and at a family event. Not much, but at least some of them are both willing and smiling! So when I can photograph human... 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 →

Twelve Hours to Change Your Ways

Shaping the Human Mind

Prelude This article was originally published on my original blogspot in 2003 and closed down in mid 2006 before moving across the WordPress. Thankfully it has now disappeared into the void, but not before I archived the entire 3 years of articles. Many will never be published again, except for a few that I particularly...

Evening in Belair

We went to a niece's 15th birthday last night. She disappeared because she doesn't handle crowds of people very well, so I went to shoot the sunset and anything else that I could find on the property. Here are the results: On My Redbubble Gallery: Evening in Belair Evening in Belair II On My Flickr... Continue Reading →
