Macro Photography at Wittunga Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Hills

I have a lovely 60mm dedicated-macro Canon lens that fits very nicely into my Canon EOS 400D. Today the sun is out and the sky is mostly-blue, so I am going with Susan Adey, a fellow photographer upon Redbubble. We visited the flowers at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens, shooting their petals and features at all... Continue Reading →

Canon 7D Camera

Have you seen this very new Canon camera? It looks impressive! The Canon EOS 7D. With a 18megapixel CMOS sensor, up to 12800 ISO and a 19-focal-point sensor, this camera looks mighty impressive. The only flaw? Well, just for the body alone you'll pay around AU$2,500. With the kit lens (EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS), you'll... 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 →

Borked Lens

If your camera should fall from your tripod, make sure it has a Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 II attached. Earlier tonight I was going to photograph pens and papers for the Drawing Day 2009. I had planned to draw something, but after throwing all the pens onto a brown paper bag, I saw an opportunity... 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 →

Portraits at the Adelaide Zoo

Last Sunday I visited the Adelaide Zoo with a group of Redbubble photographers. I've written article about the fun and frivolity, plus uploaded a dozen photographs of the zoo animals we shot during our seven hour trek around the Zoo. But the day was not all about animals. I took the opportunity to photograph humans,... 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 →
