Whether it be raining or sun, as a photographer and videographer this is a great spot to capture the view from Kingscote across the bay and jetties - the tidal pool. Today I was lucky enough to catch someone swimming. https://youtu.be/WSZTZ-KPzNw
Cape Borda Lighthouse
Originally only my wife, kids and older son's best friend and his mum were going to visit Cape Borda lighthouse without me. But at the last moment my work agreed they didn't need me today. So I grabbed my Canon 70D and Tamron 18-400mm, a loose shirt and wide brimmed hat to join them. Cape... Continue Reading →
My SALA-2016 Photography is STILL on Exhibition!
Do you remember when I exhibited my photography at SALA 2016? Thanks to good friends, at the 11th hour I was asked if I would like to hang artwork that year. With the little savings I had available, I had a few images printed and framed - and on walls at the Catalyst Foundation Adelaide... Continue Reading →
Testing the Tamron 18-400mm
Watch to the end to see the difference between 18mm and 400mm when I photograph the yellow sign stuck on the rocks through to the next beach! https://youtu.be/57r3RX_aJeg
Your Actions & Words Speak on Behalf of your Business
Whenever you speak, remember that you speak on behalf of both yourself and for the business you work within.Here's my story of proof. About 10 years ago one morning I was traveling on a train from home into Adelaide city for my day job. At one station a guy got on with his bike. Normally... Continue Reading →
Capturing the SAAS MedSTAR Helicopter on Kangaroo Island!
The SAAS MedSTAR helicopter flew to Kangaroo Island on Saturday 19th August 2017 for a pickup. As my son and I stood at the Kingscote memorial at the top of Reeves Point,we heard it before we could see it traveling across the ocean. It flew overhead, slightly scaring my son but he soon realised how... Continue Reading →
Shoot Buoys in a Pond
Ok, it is not a pond: It is a tidal pool. If you have never seen the tidal pool, ask any of the locals in Kingscote to point you in the right direction. They are nice people, they will. These five photographs were shot about 3 pm, the perfect time of the day to capture... Continue Reading →
Does Your Online Audience Understand Your Social Media Business Description?
If your business is on Facebook or any social media site, your business description is very important. I should know. I modify and update both my own and my wife's business online persona regularly, and I would never say they are perfect! (Links in sidebar) Businesses shouldn't be afraid to amend and/or totally rewrite their... Continue Reading →
When Not Blogging, I Am Vlogging
There's a valid and great reason why I don't blog as often: I am vlogging again. Living on Kangaroo Island has given me new inspiration, subjects and time. Admittedly, some of my attempts are not so perfect, yet I am having so much fun learning new facets of the software I use, plus the limitations... Continue Reading →

Casey Neistat is Right!
Just a few months ago, before my family relocated to Kangaroo Island, I stuffed my my many camera bags with lots of bits and pieces needed for my camera equipment. Today I finally went through it all - and found the multitude of seemingly important yet almost unnecessary cra.. stuff. Yet some of which has... Continue Reading →
WANT the Canon EF 24-70mm f4 USM
Way back in 2012 I was saying I wanted this lens - the Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L II USM. Five years on, I now need the lens. I should have purchased it when I could afford it! Whilst I have many decent lenses, the 24-70mm would and could easily replace them all. With my... Continue Reading →
