As always the Australian Institute of Professional Photography’s yearly awards, the APPA’s brought a roller coaster of emotions. Of the four prints I was entering, two I was pretty happy about. Usually this would be of more concern to me however I didn’t feel I had many strong images ready this year and I would…
I had been saving this image for the AIPP APPA photography awards. Photographers entering these awards try to get the edge and submit images that haven’t been seen anywhere before. Yes even APPA judges go on Facebook! So here it is, my pride and joy that received a Silver Award. This is a great result…
Shortly 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…
After 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…
So the individual results are in and as it is with almost every competition there has been a degree of contention regarding the results. This has been further exacerbated for the Loupe Awards by the introduction of a more open judging process. This year each entrant has been provided with scores from each judge rather…
I’ve only spent one evening in my entire life at a camera club meeting. I never found the desire or need to be part of one. The closest I have got to this sort of community has been with the Focus Flickr group. They are a great bunch of guys, and with almost 500 members…
Straight from France is this years Kolor Panobook 2012. I’m delighted to have two of my panoramic images included in this years edition after submitting my images to their annual competition. I use Kolor’s excellent software to stitch my panoramic photos together. It offers many powerful tools for stitching panoramic images and I wouldn’t hesitate…
A nice surprise to come home to after a long weekend away shooting in Victoria, my APPA (Australian Professional Photography Awards) Silver (with Distinction) award certificate. I’ve been sitting on this news for a week or so but choose to wait for the certificate to come through before sharing of photo of it with you…
The top 50 places have just been announced for this years Epson International Photographic Pano Awards. I’m pleased to announce I placed 13th in the Open Nature Category, lucky for some! This is a massive achievement, the calibre of photography posted year on year makes it extremely difficult to get any award let alone to place in the…
A first for me, the elusive Silver Award at this years Epson International Pano Awards 2012. I must be doing something right, well at least better. All my entry’s were awarded, with two of the Bronze awards falling just short of a silver. The first year I entered the competition no one was awarded a…
Well I managed to ‘one up’ my previous efforts at the NSW AIPP Photography awards, this time I was awarded two silvers (as apposed to one). I hope these images do just as well in the APPA’s (Australia wide competition) next month. I’m looking for at least two silvers and the associated points to go…
