Thought I should finally post my Vivid Sydney 2013 timelapse on my blog. I actually posted this on my Facebook page a few weeks back and was thrilled to see all the Likes, Comments and Shares. The Vivid Sydney 2013 timelapse was shot over a couple of nights, well mostly one, the other night was…
DetailsTaking care of your camera gear is paramount for some, even to the extent where some camera owners would prefer not to use their gear rather than risk getting dirt, dust, water or any other nasties near it. Of course all of these can be camera killers, but not using our cameras and being super…
DetailsI’ve been running an uncalibrated system since upgrading to an iMac a couple of years back. I know I’m a hethan, who does colour work on an iMac? Well a lot of us. Not everyone has the funds or need for a fancy monitor that displays the full gamut of Adobe 98. In reality I…
DetailsWow, didn’t expect that, three out of four prints submitted winning a Silver Award at this years NSW AIPP Epson Professional Photographer of the Year Awards. That’s my best result yet at the state awards, hopefully my success will continue onto the Nationals where each Silver award gets me closer to Accreditation and my Masters…
DetailsAs you may already know I’m an administrator for a great photography resource freephotoguides.com. I’ll let you check it out and find out what it is all about on your own. If you love shooting waterfalls then I’ve just posted a location guide for Hazelbrook, a short drive from Sydney and a great spot to…
DetailsWelcome to my Before and After Photoshop confess all post. I hope this gives you better understanding of the power of Photoshop and why good post processing technique is so important in a photographers workflow. Now in my defence some of my images require very little post processing work where as others I stuffed up…
DetailsAfter teaching Photoshop up in Newcastle I thought it would be rude not to squeeze in a shoot. What better place to spend some precious photography time than at the mightily impressive Stockton Beach and its towering sand dunes. This is the second time I’ve been to Stockton and it still fills me with giddiness…
DetailsAfter a ton of rain a couple weeks back, pictures of the now raging waterfalls of Blue Mountains National Park where whetting my appetite (oh dear). With the continued rain I pulled the pin on a photography course I was taking that day and headed to Hazelbrook, a new place for me to explore. On…
DetailsThe third Google+ Landscape Photographer live hangout was held a couple weeks back with Australia landscape photographers Lee Duguid (me), Jérôme Berbigier, and Antonio Ranieri. In this session we discussed photography competitions, what competitions we enter, why we enter them, and our general thoughts about this aspect of photography. All comments can be viewed over…
DetailsThe Big Stopper by Lee Filters is an amazingly popular 10 stop Neutral Density filter allowing photographers to shoot 30+ second exposures in the brightest of conditions. Easily mistaken for black welding glass this is a great creative tool and a must for all landscape photographers. Having owned the similar B+W 10 stop (3.0) ND…
DetailsAfter much deliberating I finally took the plunge and got a Apple Macbook Air. With all the travel I have coming up over the next two years it was time to go portable. For the last six months I’ve been lugging my 27 inch iMac to my Photoshop courses and with some further afield courses…
DetailsA mistake we all have to learn from is uploading images to the web in the wrong colour space. I was doing this a few years back and couldn’t figure out why there was such a large colour shift between Photoshop and what was viewable on the web (including my website and Flickr). So what was going…
DetailsThe second Google+ Landscape Photographer live hangout was held a couple weeks back where a bunch of Australia landscape photographers Lee Duguid, Kah Kit Yoong, Jérôme Berbigier, Ricardo Da Cunha & Everlook Photography invited viewers to submit images for critique. Take a look at all the submitted images over on FreePhotoGuides.com where the hangout was…
DetailsIt’s amazing to think what I have achieved over the last year, I didn’t realise the number of great photos (in my opinion) I had taken until I put this video together. Thanks to everyone that has taken an interest in my photography. There are some exciting times coming up so please stick around for…
DetailsWell what better way to celebrate Christmas than with lots of cool out of focus photographs? These aren’t any normal out of focus photos, these are Christmas themed out of focus photos. First to Wikipedia for the science: “Bokeh has been defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”. However, differences in lens aberrations and aperture…
