I'm finding myself shooting lots of horizon photographs these days. I much prefer this genre of photograph. Setting up the tripod, allowing for the time of day, adjusting filters and lens aperture in accordance with the light available AND/OR adding a polariser or ND filter.

Localised Photography
At least four times a year I call Kangaroo Island home. But the remainder of the time, this is my family home backyard: Having the bushland in the valley means I can find interesting places and local wildlife to photograph any time. Life is good.
Not Acceptable!
Seems many smokers in the Adelaide CBD believe it is acceptable to stub out their cigarettes in the garden beds around their office. I don't believe it is acceptable at all. What makes it worse is that the canisters for their cancer-filled paper remains are stuck in the ground alongside the organic life that we... Continue Reading →
Wall-Art on Anster Street
I was in the city on Saturday morning, so I took the opportunity to photograph a few places, both new and old. I walk around not worrying about the direction, yet somehow I usually end up where I have been before. Yet the last time I walked down Anster Street , I am quite sure... Continue Reading →

Photographs at the Royal Adelaide Show
We had a grand last-day at the Royal Adelaide Show on September 11th 2010. I've not been in a few years, so I am glad we chose a sunnier day to visit. Our two nieces enjoyed 30-minutes waiting at the front of the queue (only to be given 3-free-tickets just before the ticket-stations opened for... Continue Reading →
Photographs of DeadRed Wine Wakes
I've been shooting group and portrait photography at the Dead Red Wakes since wake #4 in mid 2009. They're always a blast, and not only for the wine!

With the glass window between us, I was able to capture him at his most candid. Good for me, good for him. The interesting... Continue Reading →
