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…
The 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…
After 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…
A 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…
The 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…
It’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…
Well what to say about the amazing Claustral Canyon…first up a word of warning. For anyone that might be inspired to venture to Claustral Canyon please note doing so is extremely dangerous and has resulted in death for a number of people. It should only be undertaken by those who are fit and experienced in…
Thursday (29th November 2012) evening I had the pleasure of hosting an online Google+ Hangout with some of Australia’s leading landscape photographers: Kah Kit Yoong, Jérôme Berbigier, Ricardo Da Cunha & Everlook Photography. This involved us talking shop for almost 2 hours and broadcasting it live on YouTube. We covered some great capture tips, taked…
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…
Yes I use photoshop, most photographers do these days. Is it cheating, no….if you would like to hear my justification here it is: Do you use photoshop? How much Photoshop do I use? Well I’ll let you decide, here’s a video starting from the output of my RAW file, gradually adding each layer to the…
The best camera is the one that’s with you, unfortunately the camera in question is generally my iPhone. That’s the thing with fancy camera’s (my 5DmkII), they are big, heavy and not so discrete. Especially when you want to shoot time lapse in a revolving restaraunt whilst out with the mother in law. So the…
Here’s a video of myself photographing in Slovenia and some of the resulting photographs. Slovenia is a stunning country with Triglav National Park being a highlight. Click the links below to see the photos from Bled and Triglav. Slovenia Photographs: Triglav National Park, Slovenia Bled, Slovenia I don’t think Peter Lik has anything to worry…
I had little hope for a decent sunset on Friday when I headed over to Bradleys Head. It could have been brilliant but it had really set in and there were no breaks in the cloud cover for the sun to peak through. I will have to visit this great spot again for the shot…
South Curl Curl was going off (how Australian am I?). I had donned my boardies and reef shoes to get close to the surf as I normally do expecting to get a little wet. The surf was HUGE, there was no chance I was going anywhere near it without getting a little dead let alone wet. I…
Good Photoshop technique is paramount to giving your images pop whilst maintaining a realistic result using invisible non destructive adjustments. When displaying small web sized images you really can get away with a multitude of sins. It’s not until we look at an image at 100% magnification you can tell if a photographer really knows…
