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...

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 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 →

Within an hour, I had chosen and published my favourite photographs of 2008. Over the last few days, three of my plurk/flickr friends also took... Continue Reading →
Almost Xmas 2008
This started as a comment to Shai Coggin's Decoration Weekend (where her small family enjoyed two days of covering the interior of their home with coloured reflective paper products) that grew into something worth publishing here. The wife and I have collected enough decorations over the last few years to wrap the earth twice, and... Continue Reading →
Amazing Canon Accessories
Quite by accident I went hunting on Amazon for Canon parts. Here's what I found that I really really really really really want!! Understanding the Canon Speedlite 580EX / 430EX As an owner of the 580EXii, I am often amazed by the features that are so difficult to draw out of it. It allows the... Continue Reading →
Capturing Sunsets on Kangaroo Island
About two weeks ago we went to Kangaroo Island for a three-day holiday. Although it rained 99 percent of the time (thereby preventing me from taking my camera out of the house), I managed to capture the sunset on the return journey upon the SEALINK Ferry back to Cape Jervis. Thanks to flickr and careful... Continue Reading →
