Getting Discounts on Your Photo Equipment

As a consequence of the great customer service I received today, I now only shop at ONE retail-outlet for ALL my photographic equipment! Adelaide photographers are the most unlucky when it comes to photographic-retail outlets. Our options are limited. There are very few retail outlets within the Adelaide CBD, nor in the suburbs! And then... Continue Reading →

Three as One

These three images are of dry ground on Kangaroo Island. They were photographed about 18 months ago. Merged with them are photographs from the same farm, of chains buried in the ground when the ground was wetter, plus of water-tanks that will never hold water again due to rust-holes. Buy them before they dry out.

Four Days on Kangaroo Island

Today I have returned from a fun four days on Kangaroo Island. I hadn't planned nor even wanted to go - due to a fairly bad case of the flu. But despite the insistent cough, my wife and I stayed with her parents for four days. The first day was non-eventful as we didn't get... Continue Reading →

Short Walk in the Forest

Last weekend I went for a walk to the bottom of the valley. I didn't have any agenda, nor any destination, but I did want some exercise and a day to simply freshen up my mind and spirit. Well, I succeeded. I am so glad I live a beautiful part of the world. Here are... Continue Reading →

Architectural Advancement

Adelaide is a'changing. The architecture has progressed from sandstone and gargoyles to concrete and glass. Here is the progression of just one building here in Adelaide. Watch how it changed from a large shed that housed the Trams into a large glass box.

Afternoon in the Park

Four of my many interesting photographs shot on Sunday afternoon at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens. As you can see, I like the 'macro abstract' shots! Plus one extra showing a panorama of the lake:

Wittunga

A few months back I visited an amazing public garden in the Adelaide hills - Wittunga Botanic Gardens. This park is filled with South African plants that are suited to the South australian climate, so they flower most of the year. Thankfully the rain had abated and the cloud clover was good for overall-light, so... Continue Reading →

Find and Photograph an Australian Echidnea

Photographing Australian wildlife is fraught with many interesting problems. Most of our wildlife lives in the bush, an environment that is either burnt to the ground or overgrown to the point of strangulation. Australia also has land covered in tree-stumps from over-zealous farmers who try to live on lands where water accumulates only where plants... Continue Reading →

Wrecked

It is amazing what you can find when you go for a walk in the Adelaide hills. I've only ever seen this car from a distance (from the train), and never realised I could ever get close enough to photograph the wreck. Postscript: I have used the ORTON-plugin with GIMP to give depth to the... Continue Reading →
