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 →
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.

Of them, here are those that most appeal to me for one main reason: They supply a simple way to present... Continue Reading →

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 →
