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...

Is it Orton or HDR?
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 →

A new and good friend has told me that 1stWebDesigner have published a list of the top 28 Online Photo Editing Websites. Great list, but most of them are simply a bit of fun. Of them, here are those that most appeal to me for one main reason: They supply a simple way to present... Continue Reading →

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 →
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 →
Adelaide Hills Photography
I went for a walk this morning to pick up some paperwork from the Doctor, but to make the walk much more interesting I took my camera. So my walk was quite long and followed roads I'd never been before despite living in this part of Adelaide for the last 10 years! Somehow along the... Continue Reading →
More Photographs from New Years Day
A few more shots from my early morning walk on the first day of 2009. Whilst others were recovering from NYE celebrations, I'd already been awake two hours. From six o'clock AM till late afternoon, I shot a lot of interesting photographs of things, places, animals and moments in the Adelaide CBD. Here are a... Continue Reading →
