The other day I went out with a friend and we had a whole day planned of what we were going to do. Then once we got there we found that the waterfall we had […]
Photos from the Past
One of the things that I have really been enjoying has been looking at photos that were done a while ago. Being fairly new to Instagram, or should I say being more serious about it […]
Long Exposures at Docklands
In the last week I’ve spent several hours at Docklands here in Melbourne, on separate days teaching people how to do long exposure photography. It has been quite interesting showing people how to do it […]
Eureka Tower in Monochrome and Then with a touch of colour
As I usually do with long exposures images I started by making the image of the Eureka Tower monochrome, then I wondered what it would be like with a touch of colour. The gold windows […]
Switching Back to Colour
It is Monochrome Madness over on my other blog and I thought I would do another image where I process it in monochrome and then switch it back to colour. Here is the black and white […]
Getting the Magazine Out There
It has been a very crazy week and most of it has been taken up with trying to get this magazine out and get people to buy it, support it. The main problem has been […]

Seafarers Bridge over the Yarra
In Melbourne there are many bridges that allow you to cross the river. Some are for cars, and many for pedestrians and bicycles. One bridge that is one of my favourites to photograph is the […]
New York Night Lights
Trying to put up fresh photos every day, or rather at least one is a challenge. I’m lucky I have lots of photos that I can go back and use, but still, sometimes when looking […]
Silent City

Yesterday on social media I put up a photo which I think is quite an iconic image of San Francisco. I have seen many many similar images. It is one of the Bay Bridge at […]
Empty Alley in Melbourne
The other morning I went for a walk around part of the city I haven’t really explored before. I was looking for a good empty alley in the city. I saw lots of empty lanes and […]
Long Exposures

Melbourne Skyline

When it is Summer and Hot

Finding Abandoned Homes
Driving around the countryside in Victoria, Australia, you are bound to come across old homes that are home to no one anymore. Some of them are easy to get to, while others you need to […]
