I was in the city on Saturday morning, so I took the opportunity to photograph a few places, both new and old. I walk around not worrying about the direction, yet somehow I usually end up where I have been before. Yet the last time I walked down Anster Street , I am quite sure... Continue Reading →

Last week my wife and I recently took a short holiday to Canberra, the capital city of Australia to visit family. We took the opportunity to visit a few important landmarks that we haven't seen in about five years. During our 6-day holiday (18 - 24 Sep 2010), we were fortunate to capture tulips at...

Children Photography
My favourite type of photography generally involves humans - particularly children. Before any of you highbrow types get your morals in a twist, I'm talking about family children during a family event.

How to use the Canon 580EX II Flash
Trust me, the Canon 580EX II flash gun is not easy to comprehend. So many buttons, and some make no sense whatsoever. In an attempt to understand what the user manual tries to explain with too many pictures and gobbledygook, these eight videos cover fairly well. What you'll love is how simple these are to follow,...

How a Canon 50D can Improve your Life
I've had the Canon 50D for about 3 months, and I must say it is a vast improvement on my last camera, the Canon 400D. Whilst the 400D was a great toy, oops, I mean tool, to learn about digital SLR's, it lacked a lot of features that professional photographers love utilizing on the newer... Continue Reading →

These next four are cards. These next few shots are displayed upon canvas. Just a few more pelican shots to display, so let... Continue Reading →
Portrait of Ian McFarland
One of my fellow #SALA participants, Ian McFarland , let me shoot portrait photographs whilst he sat in his stall. Yes, we are both 'artists in residence' during SALA 2010 . With the glass window between us, I was able to capture him at his most candid. Good for me, good for him. The interesting... Continue Reading →
