Back in September 2017 I uploaded a video entitled "Wow, the Tamron 18-400mm Lens is Awesome!" Here it is if you don't remember... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57r3RX_aJeg Wow, some people were harsh and gave it NINE thumbs down. Upon reviewing my clip, I realised I wasn't truly showing the range and capabilities of the lens. During a recent... Continue Reading →
After a few years in my head, this short video has been produced. Five nights and some half days later, it's online. I also learned the foibles and limitations of Movavi (video/sound editing software) and how to get around them. https://youtu.be/Cl1PU21HIKE
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
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 →
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 →
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
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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
In mid 2016 I created this video where I review the why, where and how of seventeen of my own photographs. By the time I decided to edit the production, I had removed a few photographs from the online photo gallery they are in - yet I decided to go forward. Finally, completed, here it...
