Weather in the mountains is hard to predict. Not that I did any research, I had my trip planned and I would photograph the landscape with what ever weather I was presented with. For this trip I arrived in the midst of one of the seasons last snow falls. The sky was a white out,…
DetailsProvence is world famous known for its quaint old villages and sprawling lavender fields. The epicenter of lavender seems to be Valensole and the surrounding countryside found in the North of Provence. A short drive at the right time of the year and you will come to agree with this. Lavender is everywhere. Its sweet scent fills the…
DetailsThe Loire Valley in France was more than just some fancy Chateau’s (photos to come), it was beautiful countryside too. The drive there from Paris reminded me of the UK actually. Everything was so green…and it was raining. I didn’t realise how much agriculture is there, and so close to Paris. Fields of sunflowers, wheat,…
DetailsWith a record amount of snow falling on the Southern Alps and being only a 2 hour drive away it would be rude not to go for a spot of skiing. It would also be rude not to take all my camera gear on the off chance there were some shots to be taken. I…
DetailsAfter a restless night in Refuge de la Madone de Fenestre I was last to get out of bed and out the door, it was still half an hour before sunrise. I’ll say it again, got to love these mountain people….who needs sleep. It was the end of the season so the snow had formed…
DetailsShortly after my arrival in Nice, France…where I now live I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Photography Business Blogger/Podcaster Andrew Hellmich. Together we discussed exactly what has worked for me in my business, and how I manage a full time career outside of photography. This is the standard path for many a landscape…
DetailsA weekend photographing the snow, I was excited to say the least. The only problem was it was May, spring had sprung, and with the warm temperatures we had been experience in Nice there was a chance I may not see any snow at all. Passing through Saint-Martin-Vésubie I drove down one of the two nearby roads that lead to the…
DetailsThis was the introduction to winter camping that I didn’t expect. Well some aspects I did expect, and prepare for. I knew it would be cold, how cold was a surprise! I was down in Tasmania for the AIPP annual Event which this year was being hosted in Hobart. After several days of photography, dinners…
DetailsHappy New Year all, here’s to a great 2014. I guess now is a good time to see what I’ve actually achieved in the last year photography wise, sum it up in a blog post and look forward to achieving bigger and better things for 2014. A reoccurring New Years resolution is that I go…
DetailsI’m an avid fan of Lee filters using their Neutral Density (ND) filters on almost every shoot. However I’ve always cringed at the thought of using their coloured filters. I mean why would I want my photos to look like the opening scene of CSI Miami? I had it in my mind there was no…
DetailsA must for all photographers and a location I had been desperate to get to since arriving on Australian shores back in 2003, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park aka Ayers Rock and The Ulgas. First stop after our flight direct to Ayers Rock Airport was Kings Canyon a few hour drive away. Interestingly even though it’s a…
DetailsAfter a fantastic result at this years Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) Awards (APPAs) I have been awarded my AIPP Associate ribbon. The Associate ribbon is recognition from the countries leading photography association for gaining sufficient points in their national competitions (APPAs). It also means I am only one step away from a dream…
DetailsLa Roquette sur Var, France taken on a recent visit to my soon to be home. With some trepidation I’m saying au revoir Australia and bonjour France. If you missed that, I’m leaving Australia and moving to Nice, France. From January 2014 I will be starting this new chapter of my life with my then…
DetailsWith the fast moving world of social media along came Friday and I wanted to post something exotic (to a mostly Australian audience). So in my haste I began trawling through my archives. There is a wealth of good images to be found sometimes you just need to look past that flat uninteresting image staring…
DetailsFor a photographers location guide to this unique region be sure to read my Kings Canyon guide over on FreePhotoGuides.com. Finally a trip to Australia’s Northern Territory! Since first arriving on Australia’s shores in 2003 I have travelled the East and West coast quite extensively. It has only taken me 10 years but I finally made it to…
