Observations on Being a Weekend Father, Creating New Memories and Figuring Life Out
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 →
Whilst traveling the train this evening, some guy got on at one station. He was complete with camera and tripod. I noticed his little camera bag also had a pencil and lined pad. I presumed he'd spent the day photographing trains, but he could have come from anywhere along the line. Who knows what he... Continue Reading →
I finally made it to my FIRST MeetUp. The Adelaide Bloggers took over the back room at a local restaurant, one which I've seen a few thousand times from the passenger-seat of a car and bus. But this was the first time we'd stepped inside the doors, let alone looked in the window. I walked... Continue Reading →
I have another new lens on order! This little beauty is a Canon EF 60mm f2.8 Macro USM. I've only used it once very briefly, whilst buying my Canon EFS 18-5mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens earlier this year. I almost purchased it back then, but one of the salespeople said it was not nearly as... Continue Reading →
An email I received a few days back was George Carlin's View on Age. This is a very amusing look at the state of mind of humans as they age. Yet aging is an inevitable part of life. As the years go by, our bodies change, and wrinkles and gray hair become our constant companions.... Continue Reading →
stephentrepreneur is pronounced steve-on-tre-pren-yerrr That's me on the left, with Kelly Noble and Steve Testar. Yes, it is a combination of Stephen and Entrepreneur . Say it aloud. Repeat several times. Then say "Oooh, now I get it!"
Need a Lens Hood, but cannot afford or don't want to spend much money? Then make your own. That's right, print out the Lens Hood PDF's at this site onto paper (or black plastic), and sticky tape together. With a bit of trickery, you could keep them flat and roll them up only when you...

It's amazing how many sites talk about lighting for photography! I was introduced to the strobist a few months ago, but not for the amazing lighting series he does, but for the information regarding how to promote yourself through photo forums. But today I went around in a wide arc from the Strobist through a... Continue Reading →
A few days ago I said I was going to get the Canon 3-pack of extension tubes. Yesterday I rang TED's, PW's, Camera.House and Diamonds to get prices. To make it more fun, I also asked for the price of a Canon EF 1.4x II Extender. Diamonds were the only one to tell me they... Continue Reading →
We've finally returned from five days on Kangaroo Island! From October 1st to 6th 2007, I shot images from Kingscote to Cygnet River. Traveling by Quad-runner (four wheeled motorbike) across the 500-hectare property, I was able to stop and start as new and interesting scenes were found. More photographs re being uploaded to my online... Continue Reading →
There's many ways to stop or cure boredom. These are the online methods: 1. Online Social Networking As many of us have the internet either at home or at work, we can socialise with people around the world. From Australia to Austria, from Los Angles to Melbourne, everyone can interact easily and quickly. Today you'll... Continue Reading →
This evening I watched 'The Machinist' on DVD. This is my interpretation as I said I would. The machinist starts all-morose and sullen with an amazing collection of screen views that are somewhat macabre yet would make fascinating photographs. At first glance, it appears to be a series of brilliant black-and-white photographs strung together to... Continue Reading →
