Remember I produced a video showing the full range of my Tamron 18-400mm? Recently I found a new way to provide a photographic representation of the amazing focal-length that can be achieved. I shot each of these photos off the rear of the ferry traveling from Cape Jervis across to Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island: From Cape... Continue Reading →
Failure to Pop Corn with Smart Phones
I saw this video about popping corn with multiple smartphones via Facebook mid last week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHTayVYgdnY Without any research I decided I wanted to see if it was true....

New Review of Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3

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
Surviving the Sad Times
Over the last 35 years there have been people whom I have had only one opportunity to meet. Why only once? Because they made life-altering choices that no one saw coming, or nobody fully realised how severe that person's state-of-mind had become. Last month I rested my hand on the shoulder of two female friends... Continue Reading →
