Not all camera stores are equal
This is not something I usually do, but I am so sick of the way stores treat people according to what they see. The whole idea that they can judge someone like that is so […]
Floral Friday: Bee popping in
Here is one from a while ago. While taking photos of poppies I couldn’t resist trying to get the bee as well.
MM 192: Monochrome Madness
Did you notice the name change? More the number. I decided that instead of doing it in years, we would just record how many times we have done MM, and when it was all added […]
Catching Up in the new year
So not exactly the new year, but still fairly close. Time to take a look at what I’ve been doing and what’s coming up.
Floral Friday: Waterlillies
It has been a while since I did one of these, but thought since I had been to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens, I thought it might be nice to play around with a few […]
MM 4-35: Monochrome Madness
That was an interesting week, MM last week. It was good to hear how many of you still enjoy it, but I have to admit, with only 13 people sending images, I still have to […]
Looking at other artists: Erik Johannson
Erik Johannson is an incredible fine art photographer and his imagination just amazes me. I did another blog post on him once before, but I must have deleted it. I can’t find it. I thought […]
Photographing flowers at the Blue Lotus Water Gardens
Last weekend I had an opportunity to go to the Blue Lotus Water Gardens at Yarra Junction and enjoyed photographing flowers there. It is a garden full of waterlilies, and there are a lot. It is […]
MM 4-34: Theme Holidays
That was a longer break that I had thought I was going to take, but I’m back now and ready to get this show on the road, as the saying goes. Things are going to […]
MM 4-33: Monochrome Madness
This is going to be the last post for this year. I’ve decided to take a break over Christmas. I will be on the 2nd of January. I hope you have some great plans for […]
The city from a boat
This image is, from my day of sailing with Take It Easy, has been a hard one to do. The buildings were really flat and trying to get more detail into them and make them […]
Floral Friday: Flowers in the Rain
A couple of weeks ago I was at Alowyn Gardens taking photos of the flowers before and after the rain. Water drops on flowers are fantastic, they really bring out the colours of the flowers.
MM 4-32: Monochrome Madness
How has your week been? I’m thinking we might not do Monochrome Madness the last week of the year.
Catching up and things to come
Christmas is sneaking up fast and when I sat down to think about it I realised I better get shopping. Thankfully, I don’t have to do a lot and there aren’t that many people I […]
A quick trip along the Great Ocean Road
Last week I spent the day along the Great Ocean Road with my friend Chris. We went to Hopetoun Falls, then to Cape Otway Lighthouse and ended the day with sunset at Loch Ard Gorge. […]
Taking it easy on Take It Easy
Chris and Wade are back in town for a short time. Their boat, Take it Easy is docked down at Yarra’s Edge and I spent some time with them. It has been months since I […]
MM 4-31: Theme Up in the Air
Turning out to be quite a week here. So busy I can’t seem to catch up. However, here we are and it’s time for the next theme, Up in the Air. It has been a […]
A quick post on a Sunday
Just quickly, wanted to tell you about a post I have written for Digital Photography School. It is a big article on Fine Art Photography.
Floral Friday: Rain on Flowers
It is wet in Melbourne, really wet. The forecast is for heavy rain over the next few days, flash flooding and more flooding. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I mean the way we […]
